Passage 1
Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:
A little boy in South Carolina got to celebrate his birthday twice: After only
one friend showed up to his birthday party, the local fire department decided to
throw him another on.
The City of Beaufort Fire Department shared the story of a party the fire department
held for a local boy named Cooper, who was disappointed when only one of his
classmates showed up to his 6th birthday party. But after a community member gave
the local fire department a call, (76) the members were quick to come to his rescue.
“We jumped on board and said we’ll do whatever we can make sure he has a great
birthday and that more than one child shows up.” Beaufort firefighter Ross Vezin
says.“We made arrangements to pick him up from school along with his mom and brother,
and we brought him to a bowling alley(保龄球场) along with a biker group.”
The fire department was also able to bring nearly 75 other kids from school to
celebrate alongside Cooper, whose mother, Nicoala Shiflet, said he has difficulty
making friends because he suffers from autism(自闭症)”They had cake and presents
and got to do some bowling,” Vezin says, ”We’re also going to have him up next
week. ” Vezin says, “We’re going to give him a fire department T-shirt and a tour

Passage 2
Questions 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. “Over time, the suit started to show
signs of deterioration(变坏). ” Lisa Young says. She works at NASM and her job is
to preserve historical and cultural treasures.
Plastics are tricky to preserve. They tend to degrade( 降 解 ) over time.
Neoprene is one type of plastic in Armstrong a suit. The material can turn 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°F and a lower
relative humidity of 30%. These conditions will be maintained when Armstrong’s suit
returns to a museum display case in time for this year’s 50th anniversary(周年纪
念日) 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 of 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. “Plastics are a part of our history,” she says, “it’s important
to preserve them so that future generations can understand the journey we’ve taken.”
6. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. Landing on the Moon
C. Neil Armstrong’s spacesuit
B. Preserving Plastics
D. Application of Plastics
7. The word brittle in Paragraph 2 probably means _________.

8. In 2006, NASM removed Armstrong’s spacesuit from display to ____________.
A. put it on sale
C. give it to another museum
B. return it to Armstrong
D. look for ways to preserve it
9. In Claes Oldenburg’s False Food Selection, the wooden box _________ the plastic
degradation.
A. slow 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?

B. Armstrong’s spacesuit is currently on public display at NASM.
C. NASM acquired Armstrong’s spacesuit in 1971.

Passage 3
Questions 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(橡树) turned upside down.
It’s branches resemble roots reaching toward the sky. It grows in Africa and is
called the Tree of Life. 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’s 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(栖息地). Increasing heat and shifting rainy seasons have made it harder for
baobabs in these areas to thrive.
Smaller and younger baobabs are dying too. “ The big ones and the old ones caught
attention of the media. ” Woodborne says, “ But it ’ s not just those, it ’ s
unprecedented(空前的) that they should be dying across the age spectrum. We’ve 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.”
11. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. Die-off of Africa’s Baobabs
C. African Rainy Seasons
B. National Parks in Africa
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 Stephan Woodborne, which of the following statements is NOT TURE?
A. Further research is needed to know why the Baobabs died.
B. Baobab trees can live a long time.
C. The researchers found that only old baobab trees died.
D. The baobab study involved more than 60 baobabs.
