IV. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the answer to each
of the question.
National parks play a highly valuable role in documenting climate change. Researchers have
utilized the vast tracts of pristine wilderness to collect data on species and habitats. At first, they
collected observational data on foot; now, they use sophisticated methods such as aerial
surveillance with drones like those used in Northrop Grumman's Wildlife Challenge to collect
information on polar bears.
Observational longitudinal data collection shows the effects of climate change that impact
vegetation and animal species. The pika is the perfect example of an animal who may need to be
relocated from the parks due to climate change, as described in Smithsonian Magazine. The park
service is taking this very seriously. "It is openly discussing the possibility of "assisted migration":
manually relocating some animals and plants if it turns out they can't survive within the park's
changing landscapes."
National park research also documents glacier retreat, finding that some ice fields have lost as
much as 85 percent in the last five decades, according to U.S. Geological Survey. Glacier Park
might be recognizable only as a historical name by 2030, it projects. It's not just glaciers retreating.
The Conversation notes that national park data shows that trees are also affected by climate change:
"Climate change is killing trees due to increased drought, changes in wildfire patterns and
increased bark beetle infestations. Tracking of trees in … national parks has contributed to a
database that revealed how climate change has doubled tree mortality since 1955 across the
western United States."
We should not forget that at its inception, the National Parks Service's long-term intention was to
protect the parks and "leave them unimpaired for the enjoyment of future generations."

V. 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
Many people see large urban cities as a wonder of human imagination and creativity. They
represent how far the human population has come in terms of community development. Many
positive things come from urbanization, but there are also negatives. This article will discuss and
present data on the implications of urbanization on the physical health of humans living in these
large urban areas.
As it would be expected, developing countries tend to see more negative physical health effects
than modern countries in regard to urbanization. One example of a developing country
experiencing these problems is China. China is a country that in the past 30-40 years went from
being an agrarian based society to a significant industrialized country. This industrialization has
in effect caused the need for more centralized cities, centralized meaning having lots of jobs and
living spaces within a close proximity. This is what is known as urbanization. In most recent
decades, since China's change to being more of an industrial based economy, the country has
experienced record high numbers of people migrating within its borders. In effect, the number of
cities with over 500,000 people has more than doubled. These migrations are typically of people
from rural areas of China moving to the new urban areas. Due to this large influx in the urban
population, there are many possibilities for health challenges among these people.
One very common and fairly obvious negative aspect of highly congested urban areas is air
pollution. Air pollution is defined as any harmful substance being suspended in the air. This could
include particulate matter, most commonly attributed to industrial plants and refineries waste, or
chemicals like CO2 or Methane (which are also products of plants and refineries as well as cars
and other modes of transportation). Due to a vast number of people in these urbanized cities, the
air pollution is known to be very extreme. These conditions can lead to many different health
problems such as: Asthma, cardiovascular problems or disease, and different types of cancer (most
commonly lung cancer). When exposed to these conditions for a prolonged period of time, one can
experience even more detrimental health effects like: the acceleration of aging, loss of lung
capacity and health, being more susceptible to respiratory diseases, and a shortened life span.
Another way that urbanization affects the populations' health is people's change in diet. For
instance, urban cities tend to have lots of accessible, quick, and easy to get food. This food is also
more than likely not as high quality as well as contains a large amount of sodium and sugar.
Because this food is so accessible, people tend to eat it more. This increase in consumption of low
quality food can then lead to diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, obesity, or many other health
conditions.
