Roof gardens, or gardens built on the top of city buildings, have become very popular in recent years,
particularly in developed cities. It is even predicted that they will be the future of city architecture. This is
because lack of space and overpriced land in cities makes it difficult to increase the number of parks and
other green areas. So, what makes these ‘green roofs’ so attractive to city dwellers?
Roof gardens can improve air quality in cities. Plants take in and keep heat and light, and help to cool the
environment around them. This way, green roofs help reduce greenhouse gas emissions related to heating
and cooling buildings. They also help decrease dust pollution and the formation of smog, a mixture of
smoke and fog, which is common in big cities.
Moreover, green roofs can provide new habitats for wildlife. They can help reduce the impact of urban
development on habitat loss. For example, the City Hall in Chicago, the USA, has become home to more
than 20,000 plants of over 150 different kinds. The living roof of Vancouver Convention Centre in
Canada hosts 400,000 plants and 60,000 bees. Roof gardens also attract birds and insects, which increases
the biodiversity in the area.
In summary, roof gardens can reduce pollution and improve human interaction with nature by introducing
green space into the built environment. Connecting with nature is beneficial to our physical and mental
health, and can increase quality of life.
1. What is the text mainly about?
A. Advantages of roof gardens. B. How green spaces increase biodiversity.
C. Importance of green initiatives. D. The future of smart gardens.

A. They are built on the top of buildings. B. They reduce dust pollution.
C. City dwellers think they are a waste of space. D. They improve air quality.
4. According to paragraph 2, smog is __________.
A. a mixture of smoke and fog B. a combination of smoke and heat
C. a combination of heat and fog D. a mixture of heat and light
5. The word ‘They’ in paragraph 3 refers to __________.
A. emissions B. green roofs C. habitats D. animals
6. What is on top of Vancouver Convention Centre?
A. 150 birds and 400,000 plants. B. 400,000 bees and insects.

Climate change has affected wild animals and plants all over the world, but some species are more
endangered than others. Polar animals, whose icy habitat is melting in the warmer temperatures, are
particularly at risk. In fact, studies show that the Arctic sea ice is melting faster than ever! Polar bears and
seals need sea ice as places to raise their young, feed, or rest.
Rising sea levels threaten the habitats of sea turtles, which depend on beaches to lay their eggs. Many
people may not know that the temperature of nests determines whether the eggs are male or female.
Unfortunately, rising temperatures mean that most turtles will be born females, and this may lead to
population decline.
Climate change does not only have an impact on wildlife, it’s affecting us, too. Farmers, especially in
developing countries, are the most affected. They are dealing with higher temperatures, heavier rainfall,
floods, and droughts. Environmental conditions can also affect plant growth and crop quality. For
example, in Kenya, because of climate change, rainfall is becoming heavier and less predictable.
Droughts are often followed by large amounts of rain, which makes growing tea, Kenya’s most important
crop, very difficult.
34. What is the text about?
A. The causes of climate change. B. The effects of climate change.
C. The ways people deal with climate change. D. The causes and solutions to climate change.
35. What threatens the natural habitat of Arctic animals?
A. Rising temperatures. B. Rising sea levels. C. Resting places. D. Sea ice.
36. The word “determines” in paragraph 2 mostly means __________.
A. discovers B. questions C. concludes D. decides
37. According to the text, what could happen to turtle populations as a result of climate change?
A. There will be more turtles in the future.
B. There will be no nesting beaches for turtles to lay eggs.
C. The number of females will be higher than the number of males.
D. The turtle eggs will be easily broken.
38. What does the word “it” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. an impact B. wildlife C. farming D. climate change
39. Which environmental condition can affect the quality of tea?
A. Ice melting. B. The amount of rain. C. Snow. D. Wind.
