In many ways, the increasingly rapid pace of climate change is a direct result of the growth of the
human population. In the last 100 years, the world population has more than tripled, from just under 2 billion
at the beginning of the century to nearly 7 billion today. In addition, the average person uses more energy
and natural resources than the average person one hundred years ago, meaning that the rates of
consumption are actually much higher than just the increase in population would imply. For example, it took
the world 125 years to use the first one trillion barrels of oil. The next trillion barrels will be used in less than
30 years, which is almost 5 times as fast, not three.
All of these activities: food production, energy usage, and the use of natural resources, contribute to climate
change in some way. The greater amounts of oil and other fuels burned to create energy release chemicals
which add to global warming. In order to produce more food, farmers cut down trees to gain more land for
their fields. In addition, we cut down trees to build the houses needed for a larger population. Those trees
are an essential part of controlling global warming; others are too numerous to mention.
In addition to a growing population, the world also has a population that desires a higher standard of
living than in the past, and a higher standard of living requires the use of even more natural resources. A look
at one country will provide a clear example of this fact. China is the world’s most populous nation, with 1.3
billion people. Currently, the standard of living for most of those people is far below that of people in first
world nations. Therefore, the average Chinese citizen uses far fewer natural resources and less energy than
the average citizen of the US or Japan. But China is growing in power, and more of its citizens are beginning
to expect a first world lifestyle. If every Chinese person attains a first world lifestyle, the amount of energy
and natural resources needed in the world will double, even if the standard of living in every other nation on
Earth remains the same as it is today.
Question 42. Why does the author discuss China, Japan, and the United States?

Câu 45

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.

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.

Question 39: The author claims all of the following to be the benefits of rooftop gardens except______.

She decided that this would be a good way to achieve her ambition, so she was writing to apply for the job.

She was so excited that she immediately got in touch with the school owner and agreed to attend the interview.

We get great pleasure from reading. The more advanced a man is, the greater delight he will find in reading. The ordinary man may think that subjects like philosophy or science are very difficult and that if philosophers and scientists read these subjects, it is not for pleasure. But

this is not true. The mathematician finds the same pleasure in his mathematics as the school boy in an adventure story. For both, it is a play of the imagination, a mental recreation and exercise. The pleasure derived from this activity is common to all kinds of reading. But different types of books give us different types of pleasure. First in order of popularity is novel-reading. Novels contain pictures of imaginary people in imaginary situations, and give us an opportunity of escaping into a new world very much like our world and yet different from it. Here we seem to live a new life, and the experience of this new life gives us a thrill of pleasure. Next in order of popularity are travel books, biographies and memoirs. These tell us tales of places we have not seen and of great men in whom we are interested. Some of these books are as wonderful as novels, and they have an added value that they are true. Such books give us knowledge, and we also find immense pleasure in knowing details of lands we have not seen and of great men we have only heard of. Reading is one of the greatest enjoyments of life. To book-lovers, nothing is more fascinating than a favorite book. And, the ordinary educated man who is interested and absorbed in his daily occupation wants to occasionally escape from his drudgery into the wonderland of books for recreation and refreshment.
