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 one.
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 to 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 continues，adding that the party came to be known as “Cooper's Birthday 2.0”.
From riding in a fire truck to seeing the motorcycles from the biker group and even being welcomed by so many new friends，Cooper loved his celebration.And it won't be the last time that the little boy gets to hang out with the fire department responsible for it.
“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 of our fire station.”
1.Who did the most to make Cooper's second birthday party a great success?
A.Firefighters from Beaufort Fire Department.
B.Men from the biker group.

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's 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℉ 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 1966.（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.“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

［难度系数］ 0.32
［试题分析］
从文章最后一段“The artwork's wooden box produces an acidic gas that eats away at the plastic，which speeds up the degradation process.”可知，这件艺术品的木箱会产生一种酸性气体，腐蚀塑料，加速塑料的降解过程。因此C选项accelerates（加速）为正确答案。A选项slows down减慢；B选项 leads to导致；D选项doesn't play any role in没有起到任何作用。
10.According to the passage，which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?

也可以根据第8题推断本题答案。
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.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'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 the 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
B.National Parks in Africa
C.African Rainy Seasons
D.Strange-looking Baobabs

A.point
B.range
C.edge
D.team
［答案］ B
［命题意图］ 猜测单词词意
［难度系数］ 0.49
［试题分析］
选项中单词为：A选项point点；B选项range范围；C选项edge边缘；D选项team队伍。定位到最后一段spectrum所在的句子“It's unprecedented that they should be dying across the age spectrum.”，意思是：空前的是，它们的死亡应该是跨越年龄范围的。across是“跨越；贯穿”的意思，across the age spectrum意思是“跨越年龄范围”，故B为正确答案。
15.According to the passage，which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?
A.Further research is needed to know why the Baobabs died.

C.The researchers found that only old baobab trees died.
