D. READING
When you think of agriculture, most people think of rural areas. But did you know that over 800 million people
worldwide practice urban agriculture?
By preserving agricultural land in urban areas, we can shorten supply chains and the amount of CO2 emitted when
transporting food from rural to urban areas. Producing and selling more fresh food within the city itself can reduce
the environmental impact of food distribution. They also increase opportunities for inclusive local supply chains
and improve access to nutritious foods, for example through farmers' markets.
In Medellin, Colombia, FAO has been supporting the departments of Nariño, Antioquia and Boyacá to build
community gardens. More than 7500 families have benefitted from these gardens, allowing them to grow their
own food with the possibility of selling the surplus. The project was so successful that Colombia is now
developing a number of political, legislative and governmental initiatives to promote similar schemes country-
wide.
Question 1: Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A. Agricultural Community Gardens B. Urban Food Distribution
C. A New Method of Reducing CO2 D. Promoting Urban Agriculture
Question 2: According to the passage, which is NOT mentioned as a benefit of preserving urban agricultural
lands?
A. Producing and selling more fresh food B. Shortening supply chains
C. Improving access to nutritious foods D. Increasing food transportation
Question 3: The word “them” in paragraph 3 refers to______.
A. community gardens B. farmer's markets C. departments D. families
Question 4: The word “promote” in paragraph 3 mostly means_______.
A. change B. boost C. rise D. concern
Question 5: Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Urban agriculture can reduce the amount of CO2 emission.
B. People can grow their own food in the community gardens.
C. Most people believe that agriculture is mainly in rural areas.
D. More than 800 million rural people practice agriculture worldwide

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct option
When you think of agriculture, most people think of rural areas. But did you know that over 800 million people
worldwide practice urban agriculture?
By preserving agricultural land in urban areas, we can shorten supply chains and the amount of CO2 emitted when
transporting food from rural to urban areas. Producing and selling more fresh food within the city itself can reduce
the environmental impact of food distribution. They also increase opportunities for inclusive local supply chains
and improve access to nutritious foods, for example through farmers' markets.
In Medellin, Colombia, FAO has been supporting the departments of Nariño, Antioquia and Boyacá to build
community gardens. More than 7500 families have benefitted from these gardens, allowing them to grow their
own food with the possibility of selling the surplus. The project was so successful that Colombia is now
developing a number of political, legislative and governmental initiatives to promote similar schemes country-
wide.
Question 1: Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A. Agricultural Community Gardens B. Urban Food Distribution
C. A New Method of Reducing CO2 D. Promoting Urban Agriculture
Question 2: According to the passage, which is NOT mentioned as a benefit of preserving urban agricultural
lands?
A. Producing and selling more fresh food B. Shortening supply chains
C. Improving access to nutritious foods D. Increasing food transportation
Question 3: The word “them” in paragraph 3 refers to______.
B. community gardens B. farmer's markets C. departments D. families
Question 4: The word “promote” in paragraph 3 mostly means_______.
B. change B. boost C. rise D. concern
Question 5: Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Urban agriculture can reduce the amount of CO2 emission.
B. People can grow their own food in the community gardens.
C. Most people believe that agriculture is mainly in rural areas.
