根据短文内容,回答下面5个问题,每题答案不超过6个单词。
A lot of countries need different kinds of seeds so that they can plant them again. There is an important reason for this. Sometimes plants can't grow in a country because of bad weather or disease, so farmers need new seeds.
You can keep seeds in a "seed vault(地窖)". It's a place at a special temperature. The seeds don't grow, but they can live for a long time. Norway has the biggest seed vault in the world—the Svalbard Global Seed Vault and it has seeds from a lot of different countries.
The vault is on the island of Spitsbergen. The island is about one thousand kilometres from the North Pole. It's a very cold place so it's good for seeds. Above the ground, the doorway is small, but inside, the building is huge. You walk down a long corridor(走廊), which is one hundred and thirty metres inside a mountain. At the end of it, there are three large areas with seeds.
There are about half a million kinds of seeds inside the vault. For example, there are kinds of seeds for rice from Asia and Africa, 32 kinds of seeds for potatoes from Ireland and seeds for different tomatoes from the USA. The seed vault has space for a lot more seeds. You can put about 2.2 billion seeds inside.
The seeds can live here for thousands of years because of the cold temperature of $-18°\mathrm{C}$. So in the future, humans can grow any seed they want.
36. Why can't plants grow in a country?
37. Where is the biggest seed vault in the world?
38. How far is the Svalbard Global Seed Vault from the North Pole?
39. How many seeds can be put in the Svalbard Seed Vault?
40. 新考法 开放式设问 What do you think of the seed vault?
