VI. READING COMPREHENSION (10pts)

Read the following passages and choose the correct answer to each question.
READING 1.
Read the following passage carefully and then choose the best answer to each question.
For many people who live in cities, parks are an important part of the landscape. They provide a
place for people to relax and play sports, as well as a refuge from the often harsh environment of a
city. What people often overlook is that parks also provide considerable environmental benefits.
One benefit of parks is that plants absorb carbon dioxide—a key pollutant—and emit oxygen,
which humans need to breathe. According to one study, an acre of trees can absorb the same amount
of carbon dioxide that a typical car emits in 11,000 miles of driving. Parks also make cities cooler.
Scientists have long noted what is called the Urban Heat Island Effect: building materials such as
metal, concrete, and asphalt absorb much more of the sun’s heat and release it much more quickly than
organic surfaces like trees and grass. Because city landscapes contain so much of these building
materials, cities are usually warmer than surrounding rural areas. Parks and other green spaces help to
mitigate the Urban Heat Island Effect.
Unfortunately, many cities cannot easily create more parks because most land is already being
used for buildings, roads, parking lots, and other essential parts of the urban environment. However,
cities could benefit from many of the positive effects of parks by encouraging citizens to create
another type of green space: rooftop gardens. While most people would not think of starting a garden
on their roof, human beings have been planting gardens on rooftops for thousands of years. Some
rooftop gardens are very complex and require complicated engineering, but others are simple container
gardens that anyone can create with the investment of a few hundred dollars and a few hours of work.
Rooftop gardens provide many of the same benefits as other urban park and garden spaces, but
without taking up the much-needed land. Like parks, rooftop gardens help to replace carbon dioxide in
the air with nourishing oxygen. They also help to lessen the Urban Heat Island Effect, which can save
people money. In the summer, rooftop gardens prevent buildings from absorbing heat from the sun,
which can significantly reduce cooling bills. In the winter, gardens help hold in the heat that materials

5
like brick and concrete radiate so quickly, leading to savings on heating bills. Rooftop vegetable and
herb gardens can also provide fresh food for city dwellers, saving them money and making their diets
healthier. Rooftop gardens are not only something everyone can enjoy, they are also a smart
environmental investment.
61. Based on its use in paragraph 2, it can be inferred that mitigate belongs to which of the following
word groups?
A. exacerbate, aggravate, intensify B. obliterate, destroy, annihilate
C. allay, alleviate, reduce D. absorb, intake, consume
62. Using the information in paragraph 2 as a guide, it can be inferred that ..................................
A. cities with rooftop gardens are cooler than those without rooftop gardens
B. some plants are not suitable for growth in rooftop gardens
C. most people prefer parks to rooftop gardens
D. most people prefer life in the country over life in the city
63. According to the passage, the Urban Heat Island Effect is caused by the fact(s) that
..................................
a. cities are warmer than nearby rural areas
b. building materials absorb more of the sun’s heat than organic surfaces
c. building materials release the sun’s heat more quickly than organic surfaces
A. a. only B. a. and b. only C. b. and c. only D. a., b., and c.
64. Based on the information in paragraph 3, which of the following best describes the main
difference between parks and rooftop gardens?
A. Parks are expensive to create while rooftop gardens are not.
B. Parks are public while rooftop gardens are private.
C. Parks absorb heat while rooftop gardens do not.

..................................
A. decrease the Urban Heat Island Effect B. replenish the air with nourishing oxygen
C. do not require the use of valuable urban land D. are less expensive than traditional park
spaces
67. The author’s tone in the passage is best described as..................................
A. descriptive B. passionate C. informative D. argumentative

rooftop gardens are good for the environment?
A. Parks have many benefits that rooftop gardens do not share.
B. More pollution is produced during rooftop garden construction than rooftop plants can remove
from the air.
C. Extremely high winds atop tall city buildings can severely damage some plants.
D. The overall environmental benefits that result from driving less exceed those of planting a
rooftop garden.

B. A proposal is evaluated and alternatives are explored.
C. A viewpoint is established and then defended.
D. A thesis is presented and then supported.

READING 2 :
Parents are often upset when their children praise the homes their friends and regard it as a slur on
their own cooking, or cleaning, or furniture, and often are foolish enough to let the adolescents see
what they are annoyed. They may even accuse them of disloyalty, or make some spiteful remark about
the friends‟ parents. Such a loss of dignity and descent into childish behavior on the parts of the adults
deeply shocks the adolescents, and makes them resolve that in future they will not talk to their parents
about the places or the places they visit. Before very long the parents will be complaining that the
child is so secretive and never tells them anything, seldom realizing that they have brought this on
themselves. Disillusionment with the parents, however good and adequate they may be both as parents
and as individuals, is to some degree inevitable. Most children have such a high idea of their parents,
unless the parents themselves have been unsatisfactory, that it can hardly hope to stand up to a realistic
evaluation. Parents would be very greatly surprised and deeply touched if they realized how much
belief their children usually have in their character and infallibility, and how much this faith means to
a child. If parents were prepared for this adolescent reaction, and realized that it was a sign that the
child was growing up and developing valuable powers of observation and independent judgment, they
would not be so hurt, and therefore would not drive the child into opposition by resenting and resisting
it. The adolescent, with his patients for sincerity, always respects a parent who admits that he is wrong,
or ignorant, or even that he had been unfair, or untrusted. What the child cannot forgive is the parents‟
refusal to admit these charges if the child know them to be true.

71. How do parents often feel when their children compare the homes of their friends with their
own?
A. good B. excited C. pleased D. disappointed
72. What aspects of the homes does the passage mention children often give comparison on?
A. the attitude of the adults B. the way adults take care of the home
C. the food and drinks D. chairs and tables
73. How does the author regard the parents’ usual attitude towards the children’s remarks?
A. not sensible B. not generous C. not sensitive D. not open
74. Which of the following could be best replace the word “descent” as used in paragraph 1?
A. character B. mood C. inclination D. impulse
75. How do children often feel about their parents’reaction towards their comparison?
A. afraid B. tired C. shocked D. annoyed
76. What do children often do after such parents reaction from their parents?
A. They never tell about the homes they visits.
B. They complain about the parents’ attitude.
C They keep on giving other remarks
D. They bring home some secrets.
77. According to the passage, which of the following situations occurs the most often?
A. Children are disillusioned with their parents
B. Children have high idea of their parents
7
 C. Children have unsatisfactory parents
D. Children stand up to their parents
78. Why does the author think that children’s evaluation is often undeniable?
A. Because the parents are good and adequate.
B. Because parents are often secretive.
C. Because most parents are unsatisfactory.
D. Because children often have very high ideas of their parents.
79. What, according to the author, should parents NOT do with their children’s judgment?
A. be prepared and understanding
B. resent and resist it
C. be careful and observational
D. observe and try to understand it.
80.What does the author refer to by “ the adolescent “ in paragraph 3?
A. particular young person B. cultured people
C. some critical young people D. children in general
