文章精要
文章详细介绍了芝加哥市政大厅的屋顶花园，并说明了修建该花园的原因，以及花园中植物的选取原则。
1．D细节题。文章第三段第一句指出，该工程是全国为数不多的此类工程之一，所以排除A；还说它是政府投资l50万美元的示范工程的一部分，而不是全部，故排除8；文章第四段提到屋顶花园可以降温，但并没有否定传统降温方式的必要性，故排除C；由文章第九段阿伯特先生所说的话可知，D正确。
2．A细节题。由文章第五段可知，市政厅的屋顶有90年的历史，即市政厅建于90年前，且是市中心最著名的建筑，所以A正确。第二段第一句中的all unlikely spot否定了B项中的originally proper。根据第五段可排除C，根据第十段not new可排除D。
3．B推断题。由文章第七段可知，市政厅屋顶花园是精心建造而成的，可以避免屋顶渗漏，或是在土、雨和植物相混合的重量之下坍塌，由此可知，屋顶花园的设计充分考虑到了屋顶能承受的重量，所以B正确。
4．C细节题。由文章第九段可知，在市政厅大楼上修建屋顶花园主要是为了让人们了解自己对环境的影响，所以C正确。虽然该段也提到了laboratory，但指的是让人们了解自己对环境的影响的“实验室”，而并不是真正做实验的实验室，故排除D。
5．D语义题。被考查词在句中用于修饰比较级honer，分析句意可知，此处应表示强调，突出屋顶的温度要比街上的温度高出很多，选项中只有D(相当大地)最符合。A(一点)，B(实际上)，C(本质上地)均应排除。
