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 36: Based on its use in paragraph 2, it can be inferred that mitigate belongs to which of the following word groups? 
A. exacerbate, aggravate, intensify 	B. obliterate, destroy, annihilate 
C. allay, alleviate, reduce 	D. absorb, intake, consume 
Question 37: Using the information in paragraph 2 as a guide, it can be inferred that _______.
A. cities with rooftop gardens are cooler than those without rooftop gardens
B. some plants are not suitable for growth in rooftop gardens 
C. most people prefer parks to rooftop gardens 
D. most people prefer life in the country over life in the city 
Question 38: 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. 
Question 39: The author claims all of the following to be the benefits of rooftop gardens except _______.
A. increased space for private relaxation 	B. savings on heating and cooling costs 
C. better food for city dwellers 	D. improved air quality 
Question 40: 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 
Question 41: The author’s tone in the passage is best described as _______
	A. descriptive	B. passionate	C. informative	D. argumentative
Question 42: It can be inferred from the passage that the author would most likely endorse a program that _______. 
A. permitted the construction of buildings in city park land provided they have rooftop gardens 
B. extended discounts on plants to customers who use them to create rooftop gardens 
C. offered free admission to schools willing to take their students on field trips to the city park 
D. promised vacation getaways to cooler destinations for those trapped in the city at the peak of summer 
	 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. 
 One of the most interesting authors of the twentieth century, J.R.R Tolkien, achieved fame through his highly inventive trilogy, The Lord of the Rings. Born in 1892, Tolkien received his education from Oxford and then served in World War I. After the war, he became a professor of Anglo-Saxon and English language and literature at Oxford University.
Although published in 1965, the three books that comprise the Lord of the Rings were written in intervals from 1936 to 1949. This was mainly due to Tolkien's responsibilities as a professor and the outbreak of World War II. By the late 1960s, this fascinating trilogy had become a sociological phenomenon as young people intently studied the mythology and legends created by Tolkien.
The trilogy is remarkable not only for its highly developed account of historical fiction but also its success as a modern heroic epic. The main plot describes the struggle between good and evil kingdom as they try to acquire a magic ring that has the power to rule the world. The novels, which are set in a time called Middle Earth, describe a detailed fantasy world. Established before humans populated the Earth, Middle Earth was inhabited by good and evil creatures such as hobbits, elves, monsters, wizards, and some humans. The characters and the setting of Middle Earth were modeled after mythological stories from Greece and Northern Europe.
Although readers have scrutinized the texts for inner meaning and have tried to connect the trilogy with Tolkien's real life experiences in England during World War II, he denied the connection. He claims that the story began in his years as an undergraduate student and grew out of his desire to create mythology and legends about elves and their language.
