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(

).
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

F
and
a
lower

conditions will be maintained when Armstrong

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

produces
an
acidic

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
(

Increasing
heat
and
shifting
rainy
seasons
have
made
it
harder
for
baobabs in these areas to thrive.
Smaller and younger baobabs are dying too.

it's
not
just
those. It's
