In 1818, Luke Howard published The climate of London in which he identified emerging problem:
urban development was having a direct impact on the local weather. The early 1800s was a time of great
expansion for London and Howard noticed that temperatures in the city were gradually becoming higher
than those in rural areas. We now refer to these areas as Urban Heat islands. The difference in
temperature is usually greater at night and the phenomenon occurs in both winter and summer. Experts
agree that this is due to urban development, when open green spaces are replaced with asphalt roads
and tall brick or concrete buildings. These materials retain heat generated by the Sun and release it
through the night. In Atlanta, in the US, this has even led to thunderstorms occurring in the morning rather
than, as is more common, in the afternoon. Officials there are advising builders to use light-coloured roofs
in a bid to reduce the problem.
Large cities around the worlds are adopting strategies to combat this issue and it is not uncommon
to find plants growing on tops of roofs or down the walls of large buildings. In Singapore, the government
has pledged to transform it into a city within a garden and, in 2006, they held an international competition
calling for entries to develop a master plan to help bring this about. One outcome was the creation of 18
“Supertrees”. These metal constructions are made to resemble very tall trees and range in height from
25m to 50m. Each one is a vertical freestanding garden and is home to exotic plants and ferns. Their
structure allowed the designers to create an immediate rainforest canopy without having to wait for trees
to reach such heights. They contain solar panels used to light the trees at night and also containers to
collect rainwater, making them truly self- sufficient.
23. Roofs that are dark in color help address the issue of Urban Heat Islands.
24. Singapore’s Supertrees are made entirely from natural materials.
25. The temperatures in parts of London were different.
26. The Supertrees require regular maintenance.
27. What is the purpose of the writer in the passage?
A. To get the readers understand how to deal with urban heat.
B. To help the readers know the reason why cities become hot and how to solve that issue.
C. To help the readers understand the definition of urban development.
D. To raise a global problem which everyone knows well.
28. The word “their” in paragraph 2 refers to ______?
A. plants B. ferns C. tall trees D. metal constructions
