Passage 2
Question 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:
On July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong became the first person to walk on the moon.
The spacesuit Armstrong wore on his mission has come to symbolize courage and
human achievement. In 1971, the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum
(NASM)acquired Armstrong's suit. It stood proudly on display for visitors to admire,
until there were changes in the suit's appearance. 鈥淥ver time, the suit started to show
signs of deterioration(鍙樺潖).\
her job is to
preserve historical and cultural treasures.
Plastics are tricky to preserve. They tend to degrade(闄嶈В)over time. Neoprene is
one type of plastic in Armstrong s suit. The material can tum brittle and break into tiny
Pieces. (77) This would ruin the spacesuit, NASM, seeking ways to preserve this
historical treasure, removed it from display in 2006. Yet history can still be saved. Sunlight, water, humidity, and dust can cause plastics
to degrade, Scientists have found that storing plastics in cooler temperatures, with
lower humidity levels, can slow degradation. Young says Armstrong's suit is currently
in storage at a temperature of 63 掳 F and a lower relative humidity of 30%. These
conditions will be maintained when Armstrong鈥檚 suit returns to a museum display
case in time for this year鈥檚 50th anniversary(鍛ㄥ勾绾? 蹇垫棩) of the moon landing.
Plastic degradation affects art, too, Artist Claes Oldenburg created False Food
Selection in 1906. (78)It consists of plastic food displayed in a wooden box. The plastic
food used to look real. Now, some of it has flattened and yellowed. The artwork's
wooden box produces an acidic gas that eats away at the plastic, which speeds up the
degradation process. But Young is motivated to preserve this artwork and others like
it. \are a part of our history, \says. \it's important to preserve them
so that
future generations can understand the journey we've taken.鈥?
6. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

8. In 2006, NASM removed Armstrong鈥檚 spacesuit from display
to____ .
A. put it on sale B. return it to Armstrong
C. give it to another museum D. look for ways to preserve it
9. In Claes Oldenburg鈥檚 False Food Selection, the wooden box_____the plastic
degradation.
A. slows down B. leads to
C. accelerates D. doesn't play any role in
10. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?

Passage3
Question 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:
There was once a tree in South Africa so wide that it could fit 60 people inside its
hollow trunk. The tree reached 62 feet into the sky. It was more than 1, 100 years old.
But recently, that tree and others like it have died. (79) Scientists are wondering why.
The tree was a baobab. A baobab looks like a giant oak( 姗? 鏍? )turned upside
down. Its branches resemble roots reaching toward the sky. It grows in Africa and is
called the Tree of Life. Baobab trees tend to live a long time. One of the oldest stood
for more than 2.400 years. Various baobabs have been used as a shop, a prison, a
house, and a bus shelter.
In 2005, scientists began a survey to determine the age of more than 60 baobabs
(80) During the process, they noticed that several of the trees had died. Their results.
recently published in Nature Plants, show that nine of the 13 oldest baobab trees and
five out of six of the largest died in the 12-year study period.
Stephan Woodborne conducted the baobab study with six other scientists. They
say more research is needed to know why the trees died, but they think climate change
may be to blame. That鈥檚 because the trees showed no evidence of disease. Plus. many
were in national parks, so they would have been protected from human harm. Also,
Woodborne says, the most affected baobabs are on the outer edge of their ideal
habitat ( 鏍栨伅鍦?. Increasing heat and shifting rainy seasons have made it harder for
baobabs in these areas to thrive.
Smaller and younger baobabs are dying too. \ones
caught attention of the media, Woodborne says. \ it's not just those. It's
unprecedented (绌哄墠鐨? that they should be dying across the age spectrum. We鈥檝e
got to do a reality check on our own footprints in terms of the way we live our lives. If
we all changed what we did a little bit. it would start to make a difference.鈥?
11. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. Die-off of Africa's Baobabs B. National Parks in Africa C. African Rainy Seasons D. Strange-looking Baobabs
12. The baobab study lasted_____ .
A. 6 years B.9 years C. 12 years D. 13 years
13. According to Stephan Woodborne, the baobab trees died mainly because
of______.
A. human damage B. disease
C. climate change D. the attack of insects
14. The word spectrum in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to____ .
A. point B. range C. edge D. team
15. According to the passage, which of the following statements is
NOT TRUE?
A. Further research is needed to know why the Baobabs died.
