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
Trang 3/6 - Mã đ thi 210ề
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.
Câu 36: Based on its use in paragraph 2, it can be inferred that mitigate belongs to which of the following
word groups?
A. allay, alleviate, reduce B. exacerbate, aggravate, intensify
C. absorb, intake, consume D. obliterate, destroy, annihilate

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 43 to 50.
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.
