In our last class， we looked at how climate change is presenting challenges for cities across the globe. Today we will focus on what city planners are doing to deal with extreme heat in cities. To reduce temperatures， urban designers are adding “passive cooling” elements. This means designing and redeveloping greenery， streets， and buildings in specific ways to reduce heat in the city.
Greenery， or “green coverage，” includes parks， gardens， trees， and other types of vegetation that provide shade. A study conducted in Melbourne， Australia， suggests a 10 percent increase in green coverage could reduce daytime temperatures by 1 degree Celsius. Other advantages are better psychological health for residents and a richer variety of wildlife.
The layout of streets can play an important role in passive cooling. By placing streets in line with local wind patterns， air can flow easily through a city， lowering the temperature. One study shows that tropical cities like Singapore could benefit from having streets arranged so that ocean winds move through them， cooling the city off. Additionally， good wind flow decreases air pollution， improving residents’ health.
Building design can also affect city temperatures. Many studies recommend the use of buildings of various heights. High−rise buildings create shade and low−rise buildings allow wind to blow hot air away. In tropical cities near the ocean， like Manila in the Philippines， low−rise buildings should be built near the shore so breezes reach the inside of the city. As an added benefit， buildings of various sizes make the city visually attractive.
These are some ways that good use of urban design can help cool our cities and make them better places to live.

01
まずはA、Bの発言を見てみます。
StudentA:
Although passive cooling can lower temperatures in tropical cities, it can also have negative effects on health.
（受動冷却設計は、熱帯都市の気温を下げることはできるが、健康にはマイナスに影響を与えうる。）
とありますが、気温を下げることは、熱帯地域だけでなく、どの都市でも可能なことである。
さらに、道の配置によって、風を通すことにより、
good wind flow decreases air pollution, improving residents' health
（良い風の流れは、大気汚染を減らし、住民の健康を改善させる）
ともあり、健康にマイナスな影響は与えていないと言える。
したがって、Aの発言は誤りである。
StudentB:
Cities can be planned or redesigned in various ways to reduce heat levels.
（都市は、暑さのレベルを下げるための様々な方法で、計画や再設計されうる。）
と述べています。
本文では、
To reduce temperatures， urban designers are adding “passive cooling” elements. This means designing and redeveloping greenery， streets， and buildings in specific ways to reduce heat in the city.
（気温を下げるために、都会の設計士達は、『受動冷却』の要素を追加している。これは、都市の暑さを軽減するための特殊な方法で、緑、道、そして建物を設計し再開発することを意味している。)
とあり、Bの意見と一致します。
したがって、Bは正しいと言えます。
答えとして、Bのみ正しいとなります。
