II. READING (3.5 PTS)
PART A: READ THE PASSAGE AND CHOOSE THE BEST ANSWERS TO THE QUESTIONS (1.0 PT)
 The radical change in the land's surface that results when rural areas are transformed into cities is a significant cause
of the rise in temperature in cities that is known as urban heat island.
 First, the tall buildings and the concrete and asphalt of the city absorb and store greater quantities of solar radiation
than do the vegetation and soil typical of rural areas.
 In addition, because the concrete and asphalt are impermeable, the runoff of water following a rain is rapid,
resulting in a severe reduction in the evaporation rate. So heat that once would have been used to convert liquid water to
a gas goes instead to increase the surface temperature further.
 At night, although both city and countryside cool through radiation losses, the stone-like surface of the city
gradually releases the additional heat accumulated during the day, keeping the urban air warmer than that of the
outlying areas.
 Part of the urban temperature rise must also be attributed to waste heat from such sources as home heating and air
conditioning, power generation, industry, and transportation. Many studies have shown that the magnitude of human-
made energy in metropolitan areas is equal to a significant percentage of the energy received from the Sun at the surface.
 Investigations in Sheffield, England, and Berlin showed that the annual heat production in these cities was equal to
approximately one-third of that received from solar radiation. Another study of the densely built-up Manhattan section
of New York City revealed that during the winter the quantity of heat produced from combustion alone was two and
one-half times greater than the amount of solar energy reaching the ground. In summer the figure dropped to one-sixth.
 It is interesting to note that during the summer there is a mutual reinforcement between the higher night-time
temperatures of the city and the human-made heat that helped create them. That is the higher temperatures result in the
increased use of air conditioners, which in, turn, use energy and further increase the amount of urban heat. During the
winter the night-time warmth of urban areas, produced in large part by heavy energy consumption, is beneficial because
less energy is needed to heat buildings.
1. What does the passage mainly discuss?

2. All of the following contribute to the urban heat island effect EXCEPT
 A. absorption of heat from the Sun
 B. storage of heat from the Sun
 C. an increased rate of evaporation after a rainfall
 D. the release of heat at night from city surfaces
3. The word convert in the passage is closest in meaning to
 А. reverse B. transform C. reduce D. compare
