Questions 21-24
Choose the correct letter, A, B, or C.

Write your answers in boxes 21-24 on your answer sheet.

21. Why do the students think rooftop farming is relevant in Singapore?

22. What did Maya find unexpected about outdoor growing conditions?

23. How does Maya describe the government's role?

24. What roof condition do the students treat as especially important?

(A) is correct. Tom says rooftop farms use space that would otherwise sit empty, and Maya links this to pressure on ground-level land.

(B) is incorrect. Tom says they will not replace imports.

(C) is incorrect. The setup is described as a technical system.

Associated Text:
They will not replace imports, obviously, but they use space that would otherwise sit empty above offices, supermarkets and apartment blocks.

(A) is incorrect. The recording does not support this option: Shade cloth rarely works well.

(B) is correct. Maya expected heat to be the main issue, but growers identified moisture in the air as more awkward because it encourages disease and affects storage.

(C) is incorrect. The recording does not support this option: Most crops fail because of direct sunlight.

Associated Text:
I expected the equatorial heat to be the big issue. But several growers said the more awkward problem was the moisture in the air.

(A) is incorrect. The recording does not support this option: It manages most rooftop farms directly.

(B) is correct. Maya says the government is more of an enabler and offers grants for structural checks, strengthening and installation.

(C) is incorrect. The recording does not support this option: It requires every new building to include a farm.

Associated Text:
It is more of an enabler than an operator. Building owners can get grants for structural checks, strengthening work and the first installation of beds.

(A) is incorrect. The recording does not support this option: easy access for visitors.

(B) is incorrect. The recording does not support this option: enough distance from nearby buildings.

(C) is correct. Tom says water must leave the roof quickly during heavy rain; otherwise it collects and creates a structural problem.

Associated Text:
During heavy rain, water must leave the roof quickly; otherwise it collects around the beds and creates a structural problem.

Questions 25-26
Choose two letters A-E.

Write your answers in boxes 25-26 on your answer sheet.

Which TWO technical arrangements are mentioned for rooftop farms?
  1. using wind turbines to run irrigation pumps
  2. using solar panels to power equipment
  3. storing rainwater for later use
  4. cooling growing beds with mains water
  5. placing official weather stations on every roof

25

26

(A) is incorrect. Wind turbines are not mentioned.

(B) is correct. Tom says newer farms often put solar panels beside the beds to run pumps and sensors.

(C) is correct. Tom says many roofs collect rainwater in tanks and use it through drip lines.

(D) is incorrect. Mains water is available but not preferred as the main design feature.

(E) is incorrect. The speakers do not say that farms place official weather stations on every roof.

Associated Text:
The newer examples we looked at often put solar panels beside the growing beds, and those run the pumps and sensors.

(A) is incorrect. Wind turbines are not mentioned.

(B) is correct. Tom says newer farms often put solar panels beside the beds to run pumps and sensors.

(C) is correct. Tom says many roofs collect rainwater in tanks and use it through drip lines.

(D) is incorrect. Mains water is available but not preferred as the main design feature.

(E) is incorrect. The speakers do not say that farms place official weather stations on every roof.

Associated Text:
Many roofs collect rainwater in tanks, filter it, and send it through drip lines.

Questions 27-30
What purpose is linked to each feature?
  1. helping fruiting crops develop
  2. avoiding routine chemical spraying
  3. shortening the route from producer to buyer
  4. reducing energy use in the building below
  5. showing young visitors how urban food production works
  6. increasing the market price of vegetables

Write the correct letter A-F next to questions 27-30.

27. Beehives

28. Ladybirds and sticky traps

29. Supermarket roof farms

30. Vegetation on the roof

The correct answer is A because the hives are discussed in relation to tomatoes or chillies needing help with crop setting, not mainly honey production.

Associated Text:
For leafy vegetables it is not a big issue. But once farms grow tomatoes or chillies, some keep beehives on the roof. The hives have to be managed carefully because workers and visitors are nearby, so farms choose calmer bee varieties.
Tom: I had assumed the hives were mainly there for honey, but the case studies talked much more about crop setting.

The correct answer is B because ladybirds, sticky traps and natural predators are used instead of routine chemical spraying.

Associated Text:
Instead, they use ladybirds, sticky traps and other natural predators where possible.

The correct answer is C because the supermarket example shows salad leaves being sold downstairs on the same day, making the journey to the customer very short.

Associated Text:
salad leaves were sold downstairs the same day. That kind of arrangement makes the journey from farm to customer extremely short.

The correct answer is D because the roof vegetation shades the concrete and keeps the floor below cooler, which can lower air-conditioning bills.

Associated Text:
Vegetation shades the concrete roof, and the floor below stays cooler.

Note: After the instruction audio, you will have 20 seconds to look at questions before listening to the conversation.
