The space suit Armstrong wore on his lunar mission has come to symbolize courage and human achievement. In 1971, the Smithsonians National Air and Space Museum(NASM), in Washington, D.C., acquired (获得) Armstrongs suit. It stood proudly on display for visitors to admire, until there were changes in the suits appearance. Over time, the suit started to show signs of deterioration, Lisa Young said. Young is an objects conservator (文物修复员) at NASM. It is her job to preserve(维护)historical and cultural objects.Plastics are tricky to conserve, Young says. They tend to degrade (降解)over time. Neoprene is one type of plastic in Armstrongs suit. The material can turn brittle and break into tiny pieces. This would ruin the space suit. NASM, seeking ways to preserve this historical treasure, removed it from display in 2006.What causes plastic to degrade in the first place? Many things, Odile Madden says. Madden is a scientist in California. She explains that sunlight, water, humidity, and dust can cause plastics to degrade. Some plastics will break down no matter what we do, Madden says.Yet history can still be saved. Scientists have found that storing plastics in cooler temperatures, with lower humidity levels, can slow degradation. Young says Armstrongs suit is currently in storage at a temperature of 63F and a lower relative humidity of 30%. These conditions will be maintained when Armstrongs suit returns to a museum display case in time for the 50th anniversary of the moon landing.Plastic degradation affects art, too. Artist Claes Oldenburg created False Food Selection in 1966.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. Georgina Rayner is a conservation scientist at Harvard Art Museums, in Cambridge. She says the artworks wooden box produces an acidic (酸的) gas that eats away at the plastic. This speeds up the degradation process. But Rayner is motivated to conserve this artwork and others like it. Plastics are a part of our history, she says. Its important to preserve them so that future generations can understand the journey weve taken.（1）Neil Armstrongs space suit . A . is in storage at a higher relative humidityB . is considered as a symbol of plastic artC . was protected at Harvard Art MuseumsD . was removed from display in 2006（2）The word deterioration in Paragraph 1 probably means . A . becoming worseB . losing attentionC . getting strongerD . being valuable（3）What can we infer from the passage? A . Plastic artworks help future generations learn more about history.B . We can do nothing to prevent plastic objects from breaking down.C . The acidic gas is a necessity in the preservation of plastic objects.D . People are advised to use fewer plastic objects in their daily life.4. （10分）阅读理解Having a teenager at home can be a real headache. Many teenagers smoke, drink and even fight. They often do something dangerous.Earlier studies have shown that teenagers are more likely (可能) to make irrational decisions than people from any other age group, including children and adults. Is it that teenagers are too young to tell right from wrong? Not really. So whats the reason?According to Laurence, a teacher from a US university, the reason is that teenagers care a lot about how their peers (同龄人) view themthat is “peer influence”.As children enter their teenage years, they spend more time with their friends and classmates, and also they care more about what they think of them. This makes teenagers make decisions without thinking about the costs.In a test, a group of teenagers were asked to play a video driving game. When they played with their friends watching around them, they took more chances and drove more carelessly because that would increase their possibility of winning. But when they played alone, they drove more safely.Why do peers have such a big influence on teens behavior?As Laurence sees it, a teenagers brain is like a car with a good accelerator (油门) but a weak brake (刹车). The “accelerator” is fully developed by teenage years while the “brake” is still not fully developed. When teenagers are watched by their peers, they usually push hard on the accelerator. With their weak brake, it is likely that they are going to end up in an accident.But the good news is that a violent (暴力的)teenager doesnt necessarily become a violent adult. About two-thirds to three-quarters of violent youth grow out of it. “They get more self-controlled.”（1）What does the underlined word “irrational” in the 2nd paragraph mean? A . Quick.B . Crazy.C . Careful.（2）Why are teenagers likely to make wrong decisions according to the text? A . They like difficult tasks.B . They dont care about costs.C . They care a lot about what their peers think of them.（3）How does Laurence explain the influence of peer pressure on teens behavior? A . By comparing it with how a car works.B . By comparing it with an accident.C . By showing research findings.（4）What can we learn from the text? A . Teenagers are easy to have traffic accidents.B . Peer influence is bad on teenagers.C . Most of the teenagers become less violent when they grow up.5. （6分）阅读理解BA boy and his father walk in the mountains. Suddenly the boy falls, hurts himself, and cries, AAAhhhhhhhh!
