Line 1 Skiing is one of the most popular sports in the world. According

635954624.doc
 2 to recent estimation, about one hundred million of people ski
3 regularly or occasionally.
4 Sliding across the snow on skis is also one of the most ancient
5 methods of transport known to the man. It has demonstrated that men
6 were already traveling across the snow by means of primitive skis
7 before the invention of the wheel. In the Asiatic region of Altai and in
8 Scandinavia, for example, the remains of skis have been found which
9 dated back to 4,000 BC. Further evidence is supplied by ancient cave
10 paintings which depict people skiing, and a Norwegian saga which
11 tells the story of an invasion of its territory 8,000 years ago by a tribe
12 of skiers who came from the north.
13 Nowadays, skiing, apart from a sport, has become a big industry
14 and a notable feature of leisure culture. Ski resorts and all the activity
15 that they generate is the main source of wealth in many mountain
16 regions, which were previously remote and inaccessible. And far
17 from its once elitist image, skiing is now enjoyed by an increasingly
18 broader spectra of society.

Why does English spelling have a reputation for being difficult? English was first written

the 23 letters of Latin to write down the sound of Anglo-Saxon (2) __________ as they
heard it. However, English has a (3) __________range of basic sounds (over 40) than Latin.
The alphabet was too small, and so combinations of letters were needed to express the
different sounds. Inevitably, there were inconsistencies in the way that letters were
combined. With the Norman invasion of England, the English language was put (4)
_________ risk. English survived, but the spelling of many English words changed to
follow French (5) __________, and many French words were introduced into the language.
The result was more irregularity. When the printing press was (6) __________in the
fifteenth century, many early printers of English texts spoke other first languages. They
made little effort to respect English spelling. Although one of the short-term (7)
__________ of printing was to produce a number of variant spellings, in the long term it
created fixed spellings. People became used to seeing words spelt in the same way. Rules

were drawn up, and dictionaries were put together which printers and writers could (8)

Part III. Read the following passage and choose the correct answer. (10 points)
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

635954624.doc
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.
1. 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
2. Using the information in paragraph 2 as a guide, it can be inferred that
