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 28 to 34.

          Southern Thailand was hit Thursday by the most severe haze from forest fires in Indonesia, forcing all schools in a province to close and disrupting flights in a popular tourist area, officially said.

          The haze that has shrouded parts of Malaysia and Singapore for nearly two months reached hazardous levels in the southern Thai city of Songkhla, with the pollution index hitting a record-high reading of 365. A reading of 101-200 is unhealthy, 201-300 is very unhealthy and above 300 is hazardous.

          “This is a crisis,” said Halem Jemarican, head of the Southern Environment Office. He said the pollution index in southern Thailand has never exceeded 300 before. Halem said his office has worked with other authorities to have all schools in Songkhla province send students home and all outdoor sports stadiums to close temporarily. Warnings have been issued to vulnerable people such as children, the elderly and people with illnesses not to go out of their homes.

          “The wind speed is very low this year in the south, causing haze to stay in our skies longer,” Halem said by telephone.

          An airport official in Hat Yai, a popular tourist area, said three flights bound for Bangkok were delayed Thursday morning because of the haze. A flight from Bangkok to Hat Yai was diverted to Surat Thani on Wednesday evening. The official declined to be identified because of working rules.

          Local media reported that cloud seeding has been discussed as a way to dispel the haze in southern Thailand, which is hundreds of kilometers (miles) from the forest fires in Indonesia’s Sumatra island.

          Southern Thailand boasts tropical beaches popular among tourists in Surat Thani and Phuket, two of the seven provinces suffering from the haze.

The following actions are taken by die authorities in response to the haze EXCEPT _____________.

A. closing sports stadiums

B. sending students home

C. issuing warnings

D. disrupting flights

Read the following passage and write the letter A, B, C or D on the top of the first page to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 30 to 34.

In 1972. a century after the first national park in the United States was established at Yellowstone, legislation was passed to create the National Marine Sanctuaries Program. The intent of this legislation was to provide protection to selected coastal habitats similar to that existing for land areas designated as national parks. The designation of an areas a marine sanctuary indicates that it is a protected area, just as a national park is. People are permitted to visit and observe there, but living organisms and their environments may not be harmed or removed.

The National Marine Sanctuaries Program is administered by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, a branch of the United States Department of Commerce. Initially, 70 sites were proposed as candidates for sanctuary status. Two and a half decades later, only fifteen sanctuaries had been designated, with half of these established after 1978. They range in size from the very small (less than 1 square kilometer) Fagatele Bay National Marine Sanctuary in American Samoa to the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary in California, extending over 15,744 square kilometers.

The National Marine Sanctuaries Program is a crucial part of new management practices in which whole communities of species, and not just individual species, are offered some degree of protection from habitat degradation and overexploitation. Only in this way can a reasonable degree of marine species diversity be maintained in a setting that also maintains the natural interrelationships that exist among these species.

Several other types of marine protected areas exist in the United States and other countries. The National Estuarine Research Reserve System managed by the United States government, includes 23 designated and protected estuaries. Outside the United States, marine protected-area programs exist as marine parks, reserves and preserves.

Over 100 designated areas exist around the periphery of the Caribbean Sea. Others range from the well-known Australian Great Barrer Reef Marine Park to lesser-known parks in countries such as Thailand and Indonesia, where tourism is placing growing pressures on fragile coral reef systems. As state, national, and international agencies come to recognize the importance of conserving marine biodiversity, marine projected areas whether as sanctuaries,parks, or estuarine reserves, will play an increasingly important role in preserving that diversity.

According to the passage, all of the following are achievements of the National Marine Sanctuaries Program EXCEPT…

A. the discovery of several new marine organisms

B. the preservation of connections between individual marine species

C. the protection of coastal habitats

D. the establishment of areas where the public can observe marine life

  Vào năm 1972, một thế kỷ sau khi công viên quốc gia đầu tiên ở Hoa Kỳ được thành lập tại Yellowstone, pháp luật đã được thông qua để tạo ra chương trình Bảo tồn sinh vật biển quốc gia. Mục đích của luật này là nhằm bảo vệ môi trường sống ven biển được lựa chọn tương tự như các khu vực đất được chỉ định làm vườn quốc gia. Việc chỉ định một khu vực làm khu bảo tồn biển thể hiện rằng đó là một khu vực được bảo vệ, giống như một vườn quốc gia. Người ta được phép đến thăm và quan sát ở đó, nhưng sinh vật sống và môi trường của chúng không bị tổn hại hoặc bị bỏ đi.

  Chương trình Bảo tồn sinh vật biển quốc gia do Cục quản lý đại dương và khí quyển quốc gia quản lý, một chi nhánh của Bộ Thương mại Hoa Kỳ. Ban đầu, 70 địa điểm đã được đề xuất làm khu bảo tồn. Sau hai năm rưỡi, chỉ có 15 khu bảo tồn được chọn, một nửa trong số đó được thiết lập sau năm 1978. Chúng có kích thước từ nhỏ nhất từ hơn 1 km vuông như khu bảo tồn biển quốc gia Fagatele Bay ở Samoa thuộc Mỹ đến hơn 15.744 km vuông-Vịnh Monterey National Marine Sanctuary ở California.

  Chương trình Bảo tồn sinh vật biển quốc gia là một phần quan trọng trong các hoạt động quản lý mới, trong đó toàn bộ các loài, không chỉ riêng các loài cá, được bảo vệ khỏi sự suy thoái môi trường sống và khai thác quá mức. Chỉ bằng cách này mức độ đa dạng sinh học biển hợp lý mới có thể được duy trì ở mức độ ổn định tương quan tự nhiên giữa các loài này.

  Một số loại khác của khu bảo tồn biển tồn tại ở Hoa Kỳ và các nước khác. Hệ thống Dự trữ Nghiên cứu Vùng Estuarine Quốc gia do chính phủ Hoa Kỳ quản lý, bao gồm 23 cửa sông được chỉ định và được bảo vệ. Bên ngoài Hoa Kỳ, các chương trình khu bảo tồn biển được xây dựng như các công viên biển. dự trữ và bảo quản.

  Hơn 100 khu vực được chỉ định tồn tại xung quanh vùng biển Caribê. Một số khác nằm trong phạm vi từ Công viên Great Barrer Reef nổi tiếng của Úc đến những công viên ít được biết đến hơn ở các quốc gia như Thái Lan và Indonesia, nơi du lịch đang đặt áp lực ngày càng tăng lên các hệ thống san hô ngầm mỏng manh. Vì các cơ quan nhà nước, quốc gia và quốc tế đã nhận thức được tầm quan trọng của việc bảo tồn đa dạng sinh học biển, các khu vực bảo tồn sinh vật biển, dù là những khu bảo tồn. công viên hoặc khu bảo tồn cửa sông, sẽ đóng một vai trò ngày càng quan trọng trong việc bảo tồn sự đa dạng đó.

          Trong quá trình lịch sử, các phát minh của con người đã làm tăng đáng kể lượng năng lượng có sẵn cho mỗi người sử dụng. Những người nguyên thủy ở vùng lạnh đốt gỗ và phân động vật để đốt các hang động của chúng, nấu thức ăn và lái xe bằng lửa. Bước đầu tiên để phát triển các nhiên liệu hiệu quả hơn đã được thực hiện khi người ta phát hiện ra rằng họ có thể sử dụng dầu thực vật và chất béo động vật thay vì thu thập hoặc chặt gỗ. Than củi cho nhiệt độ cao hơn gỗ và dễ dàng lấy được hơn chất béo hữu cơ. Người Hy Lạp lần đầu tiên bắt đầu sử dụng than đá để luyện kim trong thế kỷ thứ 4, nhưng nó đã không được sử dụng rộng rãi cho tới Cách mạng Công nghiệp.

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.

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.

D. Parks require much space while rooftop gardens do not.

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.

According to the author, one advantage that rooftop gardens have over parks is that they______.

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.
