Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to
indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.
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 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.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to

Living on land, however , are the land turtles, properly called tortoises, of which there are
approximately forty different kinds. Of these,Gopherus, including the three gopher tortoises,is
found in the southern United States as far west as New Mexico,Gopher tortoises are so called
because they dig long burrows, which may be nearly 50 feet long and provide an hone for
many other animals, such as frogs, snakes, and borrowing owls. They are primarily
vegetarians, feeding on grass and leaves. Bernadine’s tortoise, a slow-moving inhabitant of the
arid lands of southern Texas and Mexico, is especially fond of prickly-pear
cactus. The true tortoises come to water only to drink or bathe and they are adapted to
walking on land by their club-shaped feet. Their limbs are covered with hard scales that
often have a bony core. The shell is high-domed in all but a very few forms. The openings at
the front and rear of the shell are usually neatly closed by the retracted limbs,
on which the enlarged scales may be defensively augmented with still larger spines.The head
can be entirely withdrawn, the elbows meeting in the middle in front of it and the claws of the
forelimbs overlapping the lower edge of the opening at the front. The hard-scaled soles
of the hind feet cover the penings at the rear. Tortoises have become symbols of leisurely
movement, of longevity, and of persistence, as in Aesop’s fable of the hare and the tortoise.
All tortoises share the ability to live to a great age, but the longest life of any tortoise of which
there is an authentic record is of a great tortoise of the Seychelles Islands, whose age was
known to be not less than 180 years.
