AFrom December 1st, 2023 to November 30th, 2024, visitors can stay in China for up to 15 days without a visa. Below are several easy steps for planning a first China tour.Decide How Many Days to StayWe suggest you take at least a week for your first trip to see the highlights in the top three cities: Beijing (3–4 days), Xi’an (2 days), and Shanghai (1–2 days).To discover more of China, like charming Guilin and lovely Chengdu pandas, you would need a few more days.Consider When to Travel to ChinaThings to do in Beijing, Xi’an, and Shanghai are seldom affected by the seasons.Spring (April–May) and autumn (September–October) are generally the most comfortable and recommended times for a China tour. They are neither too hot nor too cold, but fall is generally drier and warmer than spring.A more ideal travel time for you could be March and early April or September when there are smaller crowds, favorable prices, and still good weather.China is a good summer holiday destination too.Consider Your BudgetThe biggest cost could be international airfares. The cost of airfares from the US or Europe to China varies a lot depending on when you fly and which airline you use, from around US$1,200 to US$3,000 for an economy round trip.The biggest price difference between the off and peak seasons is in the price of hotels and airfares. Prices in peak seasons can go up by 50 to 100%.For a private tour, the average cost per day is about US$220–350 per person, including flights/trains within China, 4- or 5-star hotels, lunches, attractions, guides, and private transport.We Believe Private and Tailor-Made Tours Are BestWith our private tours, you would have much more personal choice in how your tour goes. You could have more hand-picked and interactive experiences, like visiting a local family with your own local guide.With private guiding and transport, we would make full use of your time. You could focus on the sightseeing you want to do, skipping what’s not of interest and the long queues in the most crowded attractions.21. If you have a tour in China in winter, which places are suitable for you?A. Beijing and Guilin.B. Xi’an and Chengdu.C. Shanghai and Chengdu.D. Beijing and Xi’an.22. What can we know from the text?A. A visa is needed for a 12-day tour.B. The highest expense is the accommodation fee.C. Travelling in March can save tourists money.D. Prices in peak seasons usually go up by 150%.23. Which of the following is NOT the reason why a tailor-made tour is recommended?A. You have more choices about your route.B. Your time will be maximized.C. You are likely to interact with locals in person.D. You will spend less on the tour.BThree years into my postdoc(博士后), I started to wonder whether I needed a new career plan. After applying for more than two dozen teaching jobs, I hadn’t landed a single interview.I had once considered going to art school but had put that idea to the side when I decided to pursue chemistry as an undergraduate. In the years that followed, I kept up my interest in art by taking painting classes at night. My family was bursting with mathematicians, computer programmers, and engineers, so it felt natural to have my daily life center around science.But in the spring after my failed job search, that started to change after a friend excitedly showed me proofs of a review article. She was astonished by what the journal’s scientific illustrator had done with her fundamental sketches(速写). “That would be such a fun job.” I thought.I decided to test out a new career direction by volunteering to create similar illustrations for my institute’s newsletters. I spent my nights and weekends reading scientific papers and thinking about how to illustrate the results. It was a fun task. I felt I was perhaps on the right path. But could I make a full-time career?Searching online, I tracked down people who had that kind of job. I found many had training through scientific illustration master’s degree programs. After living on graduate student and postdoctoral salaries for years, I didn’t have enough money saved up for the programs, so I decided to get a certificate in digital design.I now work as a visual designer at a biomedical research institute where I spend my days working with research to communicate their work visually. I love the fact that I get to combine my scientific and artistic sides.24. Why did the author attend classes at night?A. To please her family.B. To pass her undergraduate tests.C. To pursue her hobby.D. To complete optional courses in art.25. What effect did the proofs have on the author?A. They shook her belief in science.B. They tested out what she learned in class.C. They gave her inspiration for her scientific paper.D. They motivated her to find a new career direction.26. What prevented the author seeking a scientific illustration master’s degree?A. Her busy schedule.B. Her financial difficulties.C. Her new interest in digital design.D. Her lack of confidence.27. How does the author feel about her current job?A. Pressured.B. Desperate.C. Curious.D. Satisfied.CAdministrators of the Mogao Caves in Dunhuang, Gansu province, are striving to harmonize tourists’ exploration of the site with the need to safeguard murals and artifacts, through innovative measures such as digital presentations.Sandstorms, rainfall and tourist visits constitute the most severe threats to the UNESCO World Heritage Site, said Wang Xiaowei, director of the Dunhuang Grottoes Monitoring Center at the Dunhuang Academy.Since the Mogao Caves opened to the public in 1979, the number of visitors has been growing at an average annual rate of around 20 percent, reaching 2.15 million in 2019 before the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. Thisyear, the site is expected to receive a record 3 million visitors.“If you enter the caves during the peak tourism months of July, August and September, you’ll find it hard to breathe,” Wang said. The carbon dioxide and moisture exhaled by visitors accumulate inside the caves and cause damage to the murals, Wang said.To preserve the caves, the duration of visits is limited and sometimes stopped during rain or dust storms. To try and ensure visitors aren’t disappointed when restrictions are in place, the center provides a digital exhibition, he said.Currently, the center is being expanded to cater for an additional 3,000 visitors on top of the existing capacity of 6,000.The Dunhuang Academy began digitally recording and storing images of murals and painted sculptures over 30 years ago. The digitization project has successfully covered over 200 caves, with a dedicated team of 110 experts currently undertaking the work.The Mogao Caves are immovable, and transporting them is impossible, according to Su Bomin, head of the Dunhuang Academy. And he added, “However, with digitization, we can perfectly replicate Dunhuang art and showcase it worldwide, introducing Eastern culture to the world.”In 2016, the Digital Dunhuang repository went live, sharing high-definition images and panoramic tours of the most exquisite 30 caves globally. Currently, visitors from 78 countries have accessed the repository, totaling over 16.8 million visits.Su said Dunhuang can provide diverse cultural exchanges through its cultural relics. “By digitizing these relics, we enable people worldwide to understand Dunhuang’s culture, thereby gaining a deeper appreciation for China’s historical commitment to diverse cultural exchanges — that is, an ethos of inclusivity, mutual learning and a shared future,” he said.28. Which of the following is NOT the reason for providing a digital exhibition?A. The factors related to COVID-19 put the caves in grave danger.B. The increasing number of tourists visiting Dunhuang might harm the caves.C. The authority is aimed to balance tourism and relics conservation.D. The duration of visits is limited and sometimes stopped during rain or dust storms.29. What does the underlined word “replicate” probably mean?A. Copy.B. Safeguard.C. Access.D. Transport.30. What does Su Bomin think of digitization?A. It records and stores images of murals and painted sculptures.B. It shares high definition and panoramic tours of the most exquisite caves.C. It allows for an international exchange of cultures through the relics.D. It enables people to appreciate the lasting beauty of the murals.31. What can be the best title for the text?A. The Significance of the Mural PaintingsB. The Restoration in Mogao CavesC. The Innovation on Mogao Caves’ PreservationD. The Dunhuang Spirit in Chinese CultureDThe road to Mars is long and fraught with peril. One challenge is getting humans to the red planet; another is ensuring that once they’ve arrived, they’ll be able to manage life there.To prepare astronauts for an extended stay on Mars, NASA’s latest simulated mission, CHAPEA — Crew Health and Performance Exploration Analog — will isolate four people inside a mock-Mars base in Texas for 378 days — roughly the time a manned mission to Mars would spend on the surface.Once inside they will adopt a pre-planned schedule taking part in simulated activities and science work, eating like astronauts, and dealing with maintenance and equipment failures, while undergoing strenuous psychological and physiological testing.The first simulation will begin in June, and will be followed by two more, each with a different crew in identical conditions, with the last simulation starting in 2026.“We’ve built a high-accuracy Mars surface mission scenario,” says Scott M. Smith, co-investigator for CHAPEA. The participants will experience a 22-minute delay in external communications, as astronauts would on Mars. Ambient noise will be played through speakers around the base, ensuring no outside sounds can be heard by participants.Aiming for accuracy has resulted in a habitat that could be feasibly built on Mars, Smith adds. The base, called “Mars Dune Alpha”, is a custom design by Bjarke Ingels Group and 3D-printing company ICON, and resides inside a hangar at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas. Printed in a month from ICON’s concrete formula dubbed “Lavacrete”, on Mars, the idea is to build using Martian soil.“NASA has evaluated a tremendous number of options for off-world habitat construction — repurposed rockets and landers, inflatables, assembled buildings, etc.,” explains ICON CEO Jason Ballard. “They’ve come to believe what we believe: that when you evaluate it from a financial, safety and flexibility standpoint, robotic construction using local materials is far and away the best option.”32. What’s the purpose of NASA’s latest simulated mission?A. To get astronauts to Mars.B. To isolate four people inside a base in Mars.C. To help astronauts to do experiments in Mars.D. To prepare astronauts for managing life in Mars.33. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. The last simulation will end in 2026.B. Each stimulation has a different crew in the same conditions.C. The participants can hear outside sounds.D. The participants will do things different from those that astronauts do.34. What’s Smith’s attitude to the simulated mission?A. Indifferent.B. Pessimistic.C. Optimistic.D. Skeptical.35. What is the most commonly used technique in the text?A. Making comparison.B. Giving examples.C. Analyzing causes and effects.D. Listing figures.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Grammar and VocabularySection ADirections: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.The Hell of the Sandwich LunchThe competition to be the worst two words in the English language is extremely hard-fought. Surprise party. Cruise holiday. Rice pudding. Keen golfer. The list goes on and on. But right up there is “sandwich lunch”. S eparately, (21) ______ of these words contains lots of beautiful promise. In combination, however, they spell horrible disaster.Most obviously, they signal that your lunch is ruined. You might have been planning to stroll through a park or eat with a friend. Now you will be spending your break working, (22) ______(trap) in a meeting room with several of your colleagues. Even more annoyingly, your manager has announced that sandwiches will be provided (23) ______ you shouldbe grateful for the kindness and consideration.The actual food choices are not yours. Instead, they appear(24) ______ make) by a six-year- old. The centre piece is a piatter of sandwiches cut into triangles. There are paper plates. You can’t help (25) ______( look) around for party hats and balloons.Not that you actually eat much. The etiquette（礼仪）of the sandwich lunch requires everyone to take less than they want, in order to signal that they are team players (26) ______ know how to share. People politely wait their turn and then restrict themselves (27) ______a few items. Your own paper plate is fairly typical: two triangles of bread, four salt-and-vinegar crisps （薯片）,a limp salad leaf and one plum tomato. It’s about as appetizing as a cup of sand. You pick up the biggest of your four crisps and put it in your mouth just as the boss begins to lay out the agenda for the discussion. Crisps are never (28) ______ (noisy) than when eaten at a sandwich lunch. Every bite thunders（响声穿透）through the room; eyes flick your way with each crunch and then back to the speaker. You wonder (29) ______ it takes for a crisp to dissolve（溶解）through the action of saliva（唾液）alone, and conclude it is better to get the whole thing over with. Cue a desperate loud burst of chewing and all eyes are now on you. The boss has stopped speaking. One final bite, and a swallow. The crisp as well as your promotion prospects (30) ______( be) dead.Section BDirections: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.A. easeB. fittingC. forceD. modestE. preciselyF. primarilyG. robbedH. awesomeI. encounterJ. starvingK. warnedThe Problem of Totally Epic Language InflationStan Carey recently wrote a short blog about language inflation, which ultimately creates devaluation in meaning Today, popular expressions like epic and brilliant are used to express a more 31 meaning than their traditional uses. Brilliant actually means clever, and epic actually means surprising. Such is our desire to elevate words with power and importance, that we use hyperbole（夸张）to draw attention.The same tendency can be seen in numbers as well. Once giving 110% became cliché, people started insisting that they give 210%,310%, and on and on. To create even more 32 behind the phrase, people will also throw in a literally. I literally gave 210%.This is no new trend. My generation destroyed words like awesome and totally. My parents and grandparents 33 of meaning words like incredible, wonderful, and fantastic.Irish novelist C. S. Lewis expressed concern over language inflation: “Don’t say infinitely when you mean very; otherwise, you’ll have noword left when you want to talk about something really infinite.”And this is 34 where we find ourselves right now. We have no words 35 when we want to say that something truly is awe-inspiring.This can also make it all the more difficult for modern readers to connect with older books. Particularly, it can cheapen our understanding of the Scriptures（圣经）. As a child of the 80s, I was never at 36 calling God awesome, because as far as I knew, it meant something much less great. If my sunglasses are totally awesome, I need some other word for God! Our souls are 37 in the current culture. We neglect the spiritual aspects of our own existence more and more. It makes sense that the language would reflect that as well. Caring 38 for our physical needs, we run across fewer moments that inspire us with true awe. Those emotions would require a(n) 39 with the significant and the time to contemplate （沉思）it.But who’s got the time or the desire for that We’ll settle for（将就）pretty good experiences and call them totally 40III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B,C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Dare to FollowAlmost everyone aspires to lead. If there is one thing anyone with a job and a pulse needs to learn, it is how to 41 . That, at least, is the message from the tsunami of books, courses, videos and podcasts on the topic. Business schools offer all kinds of leadership training. You are told how to lead without actually being a leader.42 in all this is an inconvenient fact. Most people in the workforce are not leaders and pretty much everyone 43 someone else. The most useful skill to have in your current job may well be how to be a good follower. That leaders depend on followers might seem blindingly obvious, but the way that people lower down the ladder interact with those above them gets much less attention than the 44 . A corner of the management literature is 45 to “followership”, but it remains small, for several reasons.The first is that you don’t need any advice to achieve the positi on of 46 ; you will never be more of one than on the very first day of your very first job.The second reason is that, although some people have little desire to be in a position of authority, very few aspire to follow. The word itself is associated with 47 , weakness and complaints. In an experiment conducted by Colette Hoption of Seattle University and her co-authors, people who were randomly assigned to the role of followers felt unhappier and were less willing to do work at the weekends and early inthe morning than those given the 48 of leaders.The third reason why the art of following gets little attention is that most subordinates（下属）have much less agency than the people 49 them. There is often no choice in whom you report to. Leaders, not followers, set the tone: 50 bosses are not old-school command-and- control types, they shape how everyone beneath them behaves.·If such things explain why leadership is 51 , the behaviour of followers is still crucial. Hierarchies（等级制度）can be more fluid（流动的）than they sometimes look: as teams form and dissolve, you may be leading a project one month and 52 the next. Things generally go better when people at every level are engaged in their work and prepared to take on responsibility.Proactivity is a big part of being an effective follower. One of the fathers of the field, Robert Kelley, has usefully 53 five styles of followership: sheep, yes-people, unfriendly followers, pragmatists, and stars. Which 54 of follower people fall into will undoubtedly depend on their boss. But it will also depend on them: on whether they ingratiate（讨好）themselves with their managers or 55 them; on whether they see their boss as someone to support or complain about. As the British Army puts it, “To follow effectively… is a choice.”41. A. start B. lead C. acquire D. convey42. A. Special B. Abundant C. Missing D. Competent43. A. counts on B. reports to C. calls for D. alternates with44. A. reverse B. authority C. agenda D. convention45. A. blinded B. reduced C. dedicated D. accustomed46. A. candidate B. consultant C. executive D. follower47. A. courage B. passivity C. discrimination D. dignity48. A. leisure B. duty C. label D. payment49. A. supervising B. surrounding C. defending D. entertaining50. A. even if B. now that C. given that D. provided that51. A. under the weather B. in the dark C. in the spotlight D. on cloud nine52.

A. defend B. sponsor C. influence D. challengeSection BDirections: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A)A biography of Bill Gates: Dollar Bill“Americans appear to be growing increasingly uneasy about billionaires,”observes Anupreeta Das, a journalist at the New York Times. With his long career and its many ups and downs, Mr. Gates is “the perfect prism （棱镜）through which to project tricky moral questions” in pursuit of a “collective rethink” about American values.In the biography, Ms. Das goes from the founding of Microsoft in 1975 to its stock market flotation（上市）11 years later. By 1995 Mr. Gates was the youngest billionaire and the richest person in America but was facing a new problem: his company was so dominant that it attracted the attention of antitrust regulators. The heroic nerd had come to be seen as a villain（反派）.So, Mr. Gates reinvented himself as a philanthropist（慈善家）, establishing the world’s largest charitable foundation with his then wife Melinda and promoting among other billionaires the Giving Pledge (a promise to donate most of one’s wealth to charitable causes). So successful was this reinvention that Mr. Gates was the most admired man in the world from 2014 to 2019, according toYouGov polls.But then his scandals （丑闻）led to the collapse of his marriage. At the same time, the power of his foundation began to come under increasing inspection. The foundation pours billions into public-health initiatives, outspending many governments, and thus shapes health policy in many countries - yet it is accountable to nobody but the Gateses. During the covid-19 pandemic, Mr. Gates was also the subject of conspiracytheories（阴谋论）suggesting that he was profiting from vaccines and even injecting tiny microchips into people. The hero had once again become a villain.But Ms. Das’s book is most interesting when it shows how Mr. Gates has influenced other billionaires, such as Mark Zuckerberg and Jeff Bezos, - how they have followed his example, and how they have not.The book shows Mr. Gates from many angles but provides few insights of him as a person. There is a Gates-shaped hole at the centre of the narrative; Ms. Das was not allowed to interview Mr. Gates. So what does she conclude about billionaires They are, she suggests, lightning rods.（避雷针）for deeper concerns about inequality and privilege. But she holds back from making a strong argument about Mr. Gates. A book that promises to tackle billionaires’ place in society asks many questions, but also asks readers to make up their own minds.56. What is the main pur pose of Anupreeta Das’s biography of Bill GatesA. To document the personal life and career success of Bill Gates.B To celebrate Bill Gates’s achievements in the technology industry.C. To provide a detailed account of the history of Microsoft.D. To explore the moral implications of America values.57. Why was Bill Gates regarded a villain①Microsoft was so dominant as to attract the attention of antitrust regulators.②He established the world’s largest charitable foundation and reinvented himself as a philanthropist.③His investment in public-health initiatives exceeded many governments, thus shaping health policy accountable to only the Gateses.④He was accused of profiting from vaccines and even injecting tiny microchips into people during the covid-19 pandemic.A. ①②④B.①③④C. ②③④D. ①②③④58. Which of the following is most likely to be included in this bookA. A specific description of Ms. Das’ interview with Bill Gates and the transcript of it.B. Bill Gates’ personality, hobbies, and personal anecdote s in his early life at Microsoft.C. The story that Mr. Zuckerberg faced his own crisis, and turned to Mr. Gates for advice.D. Ms. Das’ strong argument about Mr. Gates, such as concerns about inequality and privilege.59. What is the overall tone of the author towards Bill Gates and other tech billionaires in this bookA. Neutral and informative.B. Admiring and supportive.C. Critical and disapproving.D. Sympathetic and understanding.(B)Hiking Three Great WalksTHE LARAPINTA TRAILDifficulty: ModerateThe Larapinta Trail is a 142-mile bushwalk across the Northern Territory’s sunbaked West MacDonnell Ranges, traversing arid outcrops before descending to swimming holes. Starting in Alice Springs/ Mparntwe, it takes nearly three weeks to hike the length of the trail to its glorious sunrise climax at Mount Sonder, but the trail is divided into 12 sections to allow for day walks, overnight treks and multi-day hikes. World Expeditions offers packages ranging from self-guided treks toall-inclusive guided tours with stays at tented eco-camps,fromA$4,000( 2,040) perperson. au worldCAPE TO CAPE WALKDifficulty: ModerateWestern Australia’s Margaret River draws surfers and oenophiles thanks to its bountiful breaks and wineries. Weaving between them is the77-mile Cape to Cape Track, a coastal trail that navigates karri forests and cliffs along the length of Leeuwin-Naturaliste National Park. The trail can take up to seven days to complete and is open year-round-plan your visit between June and December for the chance to spot humpbackwhales during their annual migration. Basic camping is allowed on the trail but a popular option is to stay in Margaret River and catch shuttles from there to the trailheads..auSCENIC RIM TRAILDifficulty: HardQueensland’s four-day, 29-mile Scenic Rim Trail starts with aheart-pumping climb 2,300ft up the Mistake Mountains. From here, you’re met with steep, track that meander through ancient rainforest. Look out for koalas in the treetops and kangaroos bouncing across the path and spend the night camping beneath eucalypts. The challenging topography means independent hiking is best left to experienced navigators.

Which of the following statement is TRUEYou can go camping on all of these three hiking trails.B: You can spot many wild animals when hiking the larapinta trail.C. It is recommended for beginner hikers to choose the scenic rim trail.D. The difficulty, cost, length and related site of each hiking route are mentioned in the passage.61.

National Geographic Traveller(C)Increasingly, AI-generated outputs drift across our feeds and searches. Far beyond our screens, the entire culture is becoming affected.A recent study examining scientists’ peer reviews revealed that the word “meticulous（严谨的）” was used 34 times more often than in t he previous year. The phrasing, one of the favorite buzzwords of modern large language models like ChatGPT, indicates that many researchers are handing their work over to AI.This reflects a much bigger problem. Any viral post on social media now almost certainly includes AI-generated replies, all to attract follows. Then there is the growing use of AI to scale the creation of cheap synthetic videos for children on YouTube. The narratives make no sense, and characters appear and disappear randomly. As a neuroscientist, this worries me. Isn’t it possible that human culture contains within it cognitive nutrients— things like cohesive narrations and character continuity— that developing brains need But what happens when atoddler is consuming mostly AI-generated contentIt’s worth looking to a historical analogy（类比）for our current situation: the environmental movement. For just as companies and individuals were driven to pollute by economic incentives, so, too, is AI’s cultural pollution driven by a rational de cision to fill the internet’s appetite for content as cheaply as possible. However, there has been undeniable progress keeping our cities mostly free of smog. HowGarrett Hardin, a biologist and ecologist, emphasized in 1968 that pollution was an over exploitation of shared resources driven by people acting in their own interest, and that “we are locked into a system of‘fouling（污染）our own nest,’ so long as we behave only as independent, rational, free enterprisers.” He summed up the problem as a “tragedy of the commons（公共用地）.” This acknowledgement was crucial to the environmental movement, which relied on government regulation to do what companies alone could or would not do.Once again, we find ourselves enacting a tragedy of the commons:short-term economic self- interest encourages using cheap AI content to maximize clicks and views, which in turn pollutes our culture. And so far, major AI companies are refusing to help identify AI’s creation- which they could do by adding statistical patterns hidden in word use or in the pixels of images.To deal with this corporate refusal to act we need the equivalent of aClean Air Act: a Clean Internet Act. A simple solution would be to legislatively force advanced watermarking in AI- generated outputs. Just as the 20th century required extensive interventions to protect the shared environment, the 21st century must protect a different, but equally critical, common resource: our shared human culture.63. Why does the author express concernA. AI-generated content is difficult to detect.B. Young children are overly exposed to online content.C. Our culture is affected by low-quality AI-generated content.D. Technological issues, similar to environmental problems, are serious.64. Which of the following examples best il lustrates a “tragedy of the commons”？A. Fishermen overfishing to earn as much as possible.B. Netizens uploading an excessive number of videos online.C. Students using AI to generate answers for exam questions.D. Governments failing to establish partnership with companies.65. According to the author, the issue discussed can be resolved by______ .A. controlling the volume of AI-generated contentB. regulating AI outputs to make them more identifiableC. urging tech companies to improve the quality of AI generationD. encouraging people to treat culture as seriously as they treatenvironmental issues66. Which of the following serves as the most suitable title for the passageA. A tragedy of the commons: the importance of regulationB. AI outputs are overwhelming: potential risks of AI technologyC. Navigating the digital age: why AI should be used with cautionD. Addressing AI-generated garbage: endangered culture needs legislationSection CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A. But that is complicated by another of the researchers’ findings.B. They are predatory birds that will gladly seize unattended eggs.C. Now a paper by Libourel and Lee reports another clever adaptation.D. The birds may readily steal nesting materials from unguarded neighbours, for instance.E. But the fact that the birds are able to incubate eggs under such conditions proves the naps useful.F. Like ducks, chinstrap penguins can sleep with either their whole brain or with just one hemisphere at a time.The biology of sleep: Forty thousand naps near the seaSleep is a bit of an evolutionary mystery. A sleeping animal cannot lookfor food, defend its territory or flee from danger. The fact that sleep is nonetheless common among animals suggests its restorative powers are essential. So does the fact that, if laboratory animals are deprived of it for long enough, they die.Some animals, though, have developed unique ways to balance the need for sleep and the need for staying alert. Dolphins and ducks can sleep with only half their brains at a time, leaving the other half alert. 67 Chinstrap penguins（帽带企鹅）, it seems, take their sleep in the form of thousands of tiny micro-naps.The researchers captured 14 penguins on King George Island, and their brain activity was tracked remotely through electrodes. While ducks sleep in long stretches, the researchers discovered that the penguins were napping for just a few seconds at a time, hundreds of times an hour.They offer two explanations for the penguins’ sleep patterns. The first is to do with external threats. Penguins often incubate（孵化）their eggs alone while their partners are away foraging for food. Colonies are threatened by brown skuas（棕贼鸥）. 68 Broken sleep may be an evolutionarily smart way of getting some shut-eye during longegg-guarding watches while still remaining able to react to danger.69 Birds with nests near the edge of the colony ought to be at greater risk than those in the centre. But birds on the edges of the colonyseemed to enjoy longer and deeper naps than those near the middle. That leads to the second suggestion, which is to do with the penguins themselves. Penguin colonies are noisy, crowded places, and threats may come from within as well as without. 70 Birds in the bustling, crime-ridden centre of the colony may simply find it harder to get any shut-eye than those living in the safer, quieter suburbs.Choosing between those theories will require more research. Both, of course, could prove to be true.IV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.71. The Marketing Success of the Staley Cup QuencherIn the world of drinkware, the Stanley Cup Quencher has emerged as a true success story. captivating consumers and dominating, the market.
