A
There was once a jeweler, known for many virtues. One day, the Jewish elders came to him to buy some diamonds to decorate part of the dress of their high priest (神父，牧师), which the Bible calls an ephod.
They told him what they wanted, and offered him a fair price for the diamonds. He replied that he could not let them see the jewels at that moment, and requested them to call again.
As they wanted them without delay, and thought that the object of the jeweler was only to increase the price of the diamonds, the elders offered him twice, then three times, as much as they were worth. But he still refused, and they went away angrily.
Some hours after, he went to them, and placed before them the diamonds, for which they again offered him the last price they had named, but he said, “I will only accept the first one you offered to me this morning.”
“Why, then, did you not close with us at once ” asked they in surprise. “When you came,” replied he, “my father had the key of the box, in which the diamonds were kept, and as he was asleep, I should have been obliged to wake him to obtain them. At his age, a short hour of sleep does him a great deal of good, and for all the gold in the world, I would not be wanting in respect to my father, or take from him a single comfort.”
The elders, affected by these feeling words, spread their hands upon the jeweler’s head, and said, “Thou shalt be blessed of Him who has said: Honor thy father and thy mother, and thy children shall one day pay thee the same respect and love thou hast shown to thy father.”
1. Why did not the jeweler give two elders the diamonds at first
A. He wanted a higher price B. He had to get his father’s permission.
C. He didn’t have them in the shop then. D. He didn’t have the key to the container.
2. What the underlined part might mean
A. You will get as many honors as you want. B. Your children will live a rich and respectable life.
C. You and your family are blessed by God. D. Your father will live a long and healthy life.
3. What might be the best title of the passage
A. A devoted son B. An honest businessman
C A reasonable price D. A luxurious dress
【答案】1. D 2. C 3. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一位珠宝商为了不打扰自己的父亲睡觉，而推迟做生意的故事。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“my father had the key of the box, in which the diamonds were kept, and as he was asleep, I should have been obliged to wake him to obtain them.(我父亲拿着放钻石的盒子的钥匙，因为他睡着了，我不得不叫醒他去取钻石)”可知，珠宝商一开始不把钻石给两位长老是因为他没有箱子的钥匙。故选D。
【2题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段“One day, the Jewish elders came to him to buy some diamonds to decorate part of the dress of their high priest (神父，牧师), which the Bible calls an ephod.(有一天，犹太长老来找他，想买一些钻石来装饰他们大祭司的衣服，圣经称之为以弗得)”以及划线词上文“The elders, affected by these feeling words”可知，这些牧师长老们被这些充满感情的话感动了，所以是祝福珠宝商和他的家人了。由此可知，划线部分意思是“你和你的家人受到上帝的祝福”。故选C。
【3题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“The elders, affected by these feeling words, spread their hands upon the jeweler’s head, and said, “Thou shalt be blessed of Him who has said: Honor thy father and thy mother, and thy children shall one day pay thee the same respect and love thou hast shown to thy father.”(长老们被这些充满感情的话感动了，他们把手放在珠宝商的头上，说：“你将受到上帝的祝福，上帝说：‘孝敬你的父母，你的孩子终有一天会像你孝敬你的父亲一样孝敬你。’”)”可知，文章主要讲述了一位珠宝商为了不打扰自己的父亲睡觉，而推迟做生意的故事。由此可知，A选项“孝顺的儿子”最符合文章标题。故选A。
B
Health officials in Canada are very busy these days. They are placing chickens at fixed points all along their border with the United States of America. That’s an enormous distance of 2,500 km.
It’s not a practical joke, nor have the Canadians gone mad. They are using these chickens to see if the deadly West Nile virus is lurking around. The virus infects birds, so they think that the chickens have a good chance of catching the virus. Or the virus will catch the chickens.
Countries around the world are realizing something important. That it may just be possible to stop certain kinds of people from entering their land, but it is very difficult to try and stop viruses that travel from one end of the earth to another. When they travel to new places, they adjust very easily to those climates and sometimes start destroying the local plant and animal life. These biological polluters are called smart polluters.
These smart polluters can be carried across borders of countries unknowingly. Just as we humans are travelling across the globe more often than earlier, these biological polluters have also started journeying much more. They slide into aircraft through their wheels. They bore their way into objects that air travelers may be carrying from one country to another.
Suddenly, a lot of things become clearer. Like why the customs officials in many foreign countries prevent you from bringing in a small plant, or a decorative item made of wood that is in its natural form… They tell you that it’s in the rules.
They have these rules because they know that these varieties of plants that are special to specific places have the power to spread new diseases among native plants and animals. They are called biological polluters and they always create problems in places where they do not belong. They could be special varieties of plants, bugs or even animals.
4. Why did the author talk about what Canadian officials’ are doing
A. To introduce a successful case B. To arouse readers’ curiosity
C. To describe a phenomenon D. To introduce the topic
5. Which of the following can’t be called smart polluters
A. Tiger mosquitoes from Asia are busy biting Americans.
B. Pandas from China are wining millions of American’s hearts.
C. The small lobsters from Mexico are taking over most of lakes in America.
D. Tree snakes from New Guinea are busy eating up bird varieties in the country of Guam.
6. What might be the main reason for more and more smart polluters
A. A lot of profit can be made from introducing foreign species.
B. People want to add more species to their surroundings.
C. People nowadays travel overseas more frequently.
D. There are more domestic flights than before.
7. What’s the purpose of writing this passage
A. To convince B. To warn C. To inform D. To entertain
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. C 7. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了有关生物污染者的概况。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“It’s not a practical joke, nor have the Canadians gone mad. They are using these chickens to see if the deadly West Nile virus is lurking around.(这不是恶作剧，加拿大人也没有发疯。他们正在用这些鸡来观察致命的西尼罗河病毒是否潜伏在周围。)”和第三段“Countries around the world are realizing something important. That it may just be possible to stop certain kinds of people from entering their land, but it is very difficult to try and stop viruses that travel from one end of the earth to another. (世界各国正在意识到一些重要的事情。阻止某些类型的人进入他们的土地是可能的，但试图阻止病毒从地球的一端传播到另一端是非常困难的。)”可知，在提到加拿大人做的事情以后作者开始引入文章话题：生物污染，所以作者谈论加拿大官员正在做什么是为了引入话题。故选D项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“When they travel to new places, they adjust very easily to those climates and sometimes start destroying the local plant and animal life. These biological polluters are called smart polluters.(当它们旅行到一个新的地方时，它们很容易适应那里的气候，有时会开始破坏当地的动植物。这些生物污染者被称为聪明污染者。)”可知，聪明的污染者是指对当地动植物造成破坏的生物污染者，所以B项“来自中国的熊猫赢得了数百万美国人的心。”不能被成为聪明的污染者。故选B项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Just as we humans are travelling across the globe more often than earlier, these biological polluters have also started journeying much more. They slide into aircraft through their wheels. They bore their way into objects that air travelers may be carrying from one country to another.(就像我们人类比以前更频繁地在全球旅行一样，这些生物污染者也开始更多地旅行。它们通过轮子滑入飞机。它们钻进了航空旅客从一个国家带到另一个国家的物品中。)”可知，越来越多聪明的污染者出现的主要原因是现在人们出国旅游更频繁了。故选C项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。分析全文内容，再根据文章最后一段“They are called biological polluters and they always create problems in places where they do not belong. They could be special varieties of plants, bugs or even animals.(它们被称为生物污染者，它们总是在不属于它们的地方制造问题。它们可能是特殊品种的植物、昆虫甚至动物。)”可知，文章主要介绍了有关生物污染者的概况，所以写这篇文章的目的是为了告知读者有关生物污染者的一些情况。故选C项。
C
On Grytviken island in the South Atlantic Ocean lies the South Georgia Museum, one of the most remote museums in the world.
South Georgia Museum is located in the island’s old whaling station. Whaling, or the hunting of whales for their usable natural products, such as meat and oil, ceased there in 1964. The building that now houses the museum once served as the whaling manager’s home and office and went unused for over 20 years before it opened to the public as a museum in 1992.
There are no passenger flights to or from Grytviken, so the majority of visitors arrive on a ship. The island itself only sees about 10, 000 visitors a year and there are no permanent residents, only a group of 20 scientists, maintenance staff, and museum workers who brave the island’s cold weather conditions. Traveling to the museum requires advance planning. South Georgia Museum staff all travel to the island from abroad for the southern hemisphere (半球) spring, or mid - October, and most come from the United Kingdom, around 8, 000 miles north.
The museum, which offers free admission, “aims to make this history and heritage accessible both to the visiting public and to those unable to visit this remote region through education, exhibitions and outreach”. according to its website. It houses a natural history collection, artifacts, exhibitions related to the early history of sealing and whaling as well as Antarctic explorer, Sir Ernest Shackleton, and more. The museum rooms are named after individuals who contributed to the growth or conservation of the island in some way.
The temperature is ideal for visitors October through December, but sill, daytime highs don’t often reach above 40 degrees Fahrenheit. For those who work there, Internet access is patchy and fresh food options are rare. It’s not a place for everyone, but for the staff that calls it home for parts of the year, it’s a unique form of paradise. “Stepping away from the world has been a treat,” said Pierce, one of the staff.
8. What can we learn about the South Georgia Museum
A. It is accessible to visitors by air. B. It has 20 maintenance workers.
C. It opened to the public in 1964. D. It used to be a whaling station.
9. Who are the rooms of the museum named after
A. Managers of the whaling station.
B. Adventurers exploring the Antarctic.
C. Those who made contributions to the island.
D. Individuals who conserved whales from extinction.
10. What does the underlined word “patchy” mean in the last paragraph
A. Poor. B. Easy. C. Free. D. Quick.
11. In which column of a website can we find this text
A. Animals. B. People. C. Travel. D. News.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍位于南大西洋的格里特维肯岛上的南乔治亚博物馆。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The building that now houses the museum once served as the whaling manager’s home and office and went unused for over 20 years before it opened to the public as a museum in 1992. (现在博物馆所在的建筑曾经是捕鲸经理的家和办公室，在1992年作为博物馆向公众开放之前，它已经闲置了20多年。)”可知，南乔治亚博物馆曾经是一个捕鲸站。故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“The museum rooms are named after individuals who contributed to the growth or conservation of the island in some way. (博物馆的房间以在某种程度上对该岛的发展或保护做出贡献的个人命名。)”可知，博物馆的房间是以对该岛的发展或保护做出贡献的个人命名的。故选C。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据最后一段“For those who work there, Internet access is patchy and fresh food options are rare. (对于那些在那里工作的人来说，互联网接入patchy，新鲜食物的选择也很少。)”可知，这句话描述的是在那里工作的条件很苦，所以patchy的意思应该是“不好的，糟糕的”，和选项A意思一致。故选A。
11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“On Grytviken island in the South Atlantic Ocean lies the South Georgia Museum, one of the most remote museums in the world. (南乔治亚博物馆位于南大西洋的格里特维肯岛上，是世界上最偏远的博物馆之一。)”和最后一段“The temperature is ideal for visitors October through December, but sill, daytime highs don’t often reach above 40 degrees Fahrenheit. (10月至12月的气温对游客来说是理想的，但白天的气温通常不会超过40华氏度。)”可知，这篇文章主要介绍位于南大西洋的格里特维肯岛上的南乔治亚博物馆，所以应该是选自于旅游栏一部分。故选C。
D
Almost all new parents struggle to get enough sleep while caring for their newborns. For some penguin parents, though, periods of sleep are especially short.
Researchers recently found that Chinstrap penguins only sleep for about four seconds at a time in order to protect their eggs and newborn chicks. They do this thousands of times throughout the day.
The short “microsleeps” total around 11 hours each day. The microsleeps appear to be enough to keep the parents going for many weeks.
Niels Rattenborg is a sleep researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Biological Intelligence in Germany. He helped write the new study. He said these penguins blink “their eyes open and shut, and they do it 24/7 for several weeks at a time. What’s surprising is that they’re able to function okay and successfully raise their young”.
Chinstrap penguins usually lay their eggs in November in nests made up of small rocks. As with many other kinds of penguins, mated pairs share parenting responsibilities. One parent usually watches the eggs and chicks alone while the other goes off fishing for family meals.
Adult penguins do not face many natural enemies in the mating season. But large birds called brown skuas eat the penguin eggs and small chicks. Other adult penguins may also try to steal the small rocks from nests. So, penguin parents must always be on guard.
For the first time, scientists followed the sleeping behavior of Chinstrap penguins in an Antarctic mating colony. They did this by attaching devices that measure brain waves. They collected data on 14 adults over 11 days on King George Island off the coast of Antarctica.
Won Young Lee is a biologist at the Korean Polar Research Institute. He thought of the idea for the study when he saw mating penguins often blinking their eyes and possibly sleeping during his long days of field observations. But the team needed to record brain waves to confirm the animals were sleeping.
“For these penguins, microsleeps have some restorative functions,” he said. He added that they would not survive without it.
The researchers did not collect sleep data outside the mating season. But they suspect that the penguins may sleep for longer periods at other times of the year.
12. What’s the main idea of the passage
A. Penguins keep awake for weeks when having chicks.
B. Penguins must have at least 11 hours’ sleep every day.
C. Penguins don’t have enough sleep because of antarctic climate.
D. Penguins can only sleep very short for the sake of their chicks’ safety.
13. What Niels did not expect about the Chinstrap penguins
A. They keep their eyes open when they are sleeping.
B. The short but repetitive sleep habit of theirs works well.
C. It does no harm to them when they keep awake for weeks.
D. They can function well even if they don’t have enough sleep.
14. How did these researchers get their findings
A. They paired, compared and collected. B. They followed, observed and recorded.
C. They attached device, filmed and analyzed. D. They read, researched and concluded.
15. What’s the limit of their study
A. They didn’t follow them all the year round.
B. Their study didn’t include other species of penguins.
C. The number of the penguins they studied was not big enough.
D. Their equipment was not advanced and their data was not accurate.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. B 15. A
【解析】

【12题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“Researchers recently found that Chinstrap penguins only sleep for about four seconds at a time in order to protect their eggs and newborn chicks. They do this thousands of times throughout the day.(研究人员最近发现，帽带企鹅每次只睡大约四秒钟，以保护它们的蛋和新生的企鹅。他们一天要这样做几千次)”结合文章介绍了这次关于帽带企鹅睡眠时间短，来保护小企鹅的研究过程、方式以及存在的局限性。可知，这篇文章的主旨是为了小企鹅的安全，企鹅只能睡得很短。故选D。

细节理解题。根据第四段“He said these penguins blink “their eyes open and shut, and they do it 24/7 for several weeks at a time. What’s surprising is that they’re able to function okay and successfully raise their young”.(他说，这些企鹅眨着眼睛，“它们的眼睛开了又闭，它们每天24小时不停这么做，一次持续好几个星期。”令人惊讶的是，它们能够正常运作，并成功地抚养后代。”)”可知，尼尔斯没有想到帽带企鹅短暂但重复的睡眠习惯效果很好。故选B。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第四段“For the first time, scientists followed the sleeping behavior of Chinstrap penguins in an Antarctic mating colony.(科学家们第一次在南极的一个交配区追踪了帽带企鹅的睡眠行为)”；“They collected data on 14 adults over 11 days on King George Island off the coast of Antarctica.(他们在南极洲海岸外的乔治王岛上，用11天的时间收集了14名成年企鹅的数据)”以及倒数第三段“He thought of the idea for the study when he saw mating penguins often blinking their eyes and possibly sleeping during his long days of field observations. But the team needed to record brain waves to confirm the animals were sleeping.(当他在漫长的野外观察中看到交配的企鹅经常眨眼，可能还在睡觉时，他想到了这个研究的想法。但研究小组需要记录脑电波来确认这些动物是否在睡觉)”可知，这些研究人员通过跟踪、观察和记录来得到他们的发现。故选B。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一短“The researchers did not collect sleep data outside the mating season. But they suspect that the penguins may sleep for longer periods at other times of the year.(研究人员没有收集交配季节以外的睡眠数据。但他们怀疑企鹅在一年中的其他时间可能会睡得更久)”可知，研究的局限是他们并不是一年到头都跟着他们。故选A。

How is everything going It’s been a while since I started my academic life here as an exchange student, but I’m still in great appreciation of what you have done for me on the very first day of my enrollment.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I stayed mostly at home recovering from major surgery for breast cancer. Then my Today show colleague Matt threw me a lifeline by asking whether I felt well enough to tape a“ Where in the World ” segment (节目). He suggested kindly that I pick a couple of days and escape. On second thought, I jumped at the chance.
The trip was fun, and on the plane back home, my plan was to sleep for the entire flight. The earbuds were an inch away from going in when the guy beside turned to me and said, “Hi. How are you doing I recognize you from somewhere.”
“I work on the Today show,” I told him, still holding my earbuds.
He smiled at me. “How’s Matt Is Matt nice ”
“Yeah,” I said. “Matt’s nice.”
“How’s Al Al seems funny.”
He then noticed I was wearing a compression sleeve (压力袖套) on my arm and asked what that was. I told him I’d had a “procedure” and needed the sleeve to fly, hoping we could change the subject.
But he continued, “What procedure did you have ”
“I had an operation,” I said vaguely. Defeated by his curiosity, I finally said, “I had breast cancer. But, I hope that’s not the first thing you think of when getting off this flight, telling your kids, ‘Hey, I sat next to this girl with breast cancer.’”
He paused for a moment and said, “What’s wrong with that It is part of you, like going to college or getting married. Let me give you some advice: Don’t hog(独占) your journey. It’s not just for you. Think of how many people you could help.”
I could feel tears coming down my face.
“Look! You have a choice in life. You can either put your story deep in your pockets and take it to your grave, or you can help someone.”
Despite being open on a show, I’ve always been a private person, and aside from the few people who needed to know, I’d kept my illness secret. I didn’t want to be defined by my weakness.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】But this man, Ken, showed me that my illness gave me strength. Not until then did I wake up to the message that it gave me the ability to lighten someone else’s load. My eyes glittering with excitement, I decided I was going to share my story publicly. Before long, I talked about my illness and the conversation with Ken on air. Floods of letters rushed in, mostly pouring the writers’ hearts out or offering to lend a hand. Together with some volunteers, I eventually founded a non-profit organization, targeting people trapped in similar cases, in the hope of reigniting their passion for life.
Years later, awarded for my volunteer work at a charity event, I met Ken again. Never had we met after the encounter on the flight, but an audience of Today, who happened to be Ken’s best friend, wound up contacting me and mentioning Ken’s struggling life with prostate cancer. Amazed at his positive attitude towards life, I was more impressed with how powerful his words and deeds had influenced so large a crowd. Ken was siting there grinning as I said, “He’s touched a lot of people’s lives. He obviously touched a stranger like me! And it’s always better to share and heal than to try to hide away.”

There was once a jeweler, known for many virtues. One day, the Jewish elders came to him to buy some diamonds to decorate part of the dress of their high priest (神父，牧师), which the Bible calls an ephod.
They told him what they wanted, and offered him a fair price for the diamonds. He replied that he could not let them see the jewels at that moment, and requested them to call again.
As they wanted them without delay, and thought that the object of the jeweler was only to increase the price of the diamonds, the elders offered him twice, then three times, as much as they were worth. But he still refused, and they went away angrily.
Some hours after, he went to them, and placed before them the diamonds, for which they again offered him the last price they had named, but he said, “I will only accept the first one you offered to me this morning.”
“Why, then, did you not close with us at once ” asked they in surprise. “When you came,” replied he, “my father had the key of the box, in which the diamonds were kept, and as he was asleep, I should have been obliged to wake him to obtain them. At his age, a short hour of sleep does him a great deal of good, and for all the gold in the world, I would not be wanting in respect to my father, or take from him a single comfort.”
The elders, affected by these feeling words, spread their hands upon the jeweler’s head, and said, “Thou shalt be blessed of Him who has said: Honor thy father and thy mother, and thy children shall one day pay thee the same respect and love thou hast shown to thy father.”

Health officials in Canada are very busy these days. They are placing chickens at fixed points all along their border with the United States of America. That’s an enormous distance of 2,500 km.
It’s not a practical joke, nor have the Canadians gone mad. They are using these chickens to see if the deadly West Nile virus is lurking around. The virus infects birds, so they think that the chickens have a good chance of catching the virus. Or the virus will catch the chickens.
Countries around the world are realizing something important. That it may just be possible to stop certain kinds of people from entering their land, but it is very difficult to try and stop viruses that travel from one end of the earth to another. When they travel to new places, they adjust very easily to those climates and sometimes start destroying the local plant and animal life. These biological polluters are called smart polluters.
These smart polluters can be carried across borders of countries unknowingly. Just as we humans are travelling across the globe more often than earlier, these biological polluters have also started journeying much more. They slide into aircraft through their wheels. They bore their way into objects that air travelers may be carrying from one country to another.
Suddenly, a lot of things become clearer. Like why the customs officials in many foreign countries prevent you from bringing in a small plant, or a decorative item made of wood that is in its natural form… They tell you that it’s in the rules.
They have these rules because they know that these varieties of plants that are special to specific places have the power to spread new diseases among native plants and animals. They are called biological polluters and they always create problems in places where they do not belong. They could be special varieties of plants, bugs or even animals.
4. Why did the author talk about what Canadian officials’ are doing
A. To introduce a successful case B. To arouse readers’ curiosity

D. Tree snakes from New Guinea are busy eating up bird varieties in the country of Guam.
6. What might be the main reason for more and more smart polluters
A. A lot of profit can be made from introducing foreign species.
B. People want to add more species to their surroundings.
C. People nowadays travel overseas more frequently.
D. There are more domestic flights than before.
7. What’s the purpose of writing this passage
A. To convince B. To warn C. To inform D. To entertain
C
On Grytviken island in the South Atlantic Ocean lies the South Georgia Museum, one of the most remote museums in the world.
South Georgia Museum is located in the island’s old whaling station. Whaling, or the hunting of whales for their usable natural products, such as meat and oil, ceased there in 1964. The building that now houses the museum once served as the whaling manager’s home and office and went unused for over 20 years before it opened to the public as a museum in 1992.
There are no passenger flights to or from Grytviken, so the majority of visitors arrive on a ship. The island itself only sees about 10, 000 visitors a year and there are no permanent residents, only a group of 20 scientists, maintenance staff, and museum workers who brave the island’s cold weather conditions. Traveling to the museum requires advance planning. South Georgia Museum staff all travel to the island from abroad for the southern hemisphere (半球) spring, or mid - October, and most come from the United Kingdom, around 8, 000 miles north.
The museum, which offers free admission, “aims to make this history and heritage accessible both to the visiting public and to those unable to visit this remote region through education, exhibitions and outreach”. according to its website. It houses a natural history collection, artifacts, exhibitions related to the early history of sealing and whaling as well as Antarctic explorer, Sir Ernest Shackleton, and more. The museum rooms are named after individuals who contributed to the growth or conservation of the island in some way.
The temperature is ideal for visitors October through December, but sill, daytime highs don’t often reach above 40 degrees Fahrenheit. For those who work there, Internet access is patchy and fresh food options are rare. It’s not a place for everyone, but for the staff that calls it home for parts of the year, it’s a unique form of paradise. “Stepping away from the world has been a treat,” said Pierce, one of the staff.
8. What can we learn about the South Georgia Museum
A. It is accessible to visitors by air. B. It has 20 maintenance workers.
C. It opened to the public in 1964. D. It used to be a whaling station.
9. Who are the rooms of the museum named after
A. Managers of the whaling station.
B. Adventurers exploring the Antarctic.
C. Those who made contributions to the island.
D. Individuals who conserved whales from extinction.
10. What does the underlined word “patchy” mean in the last paragraph
A. Poor. B. Easy. C. Free. D. Quick.
11. In which column of a website can we find this text
A Animals. B. People. C. Travel. D. News.
D
Almost all new parents struggle to get enough sleep while caring for their newborns. For some penguin parents, though, periods of sleep are especially short.
Researchers recently found that Chinstrap penguins only sleep for about four seconds at a time in order to protect their eggs and newborn chicks. They do this thousands of times throughout the day.
The short “microsleeps” total around 11 hours each day The microsleeps appear to be enough to keep the parents going for many weeks.
Niels Rattenborg is a sleep researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Biological Intelligence in Germany. He helped write the new study. He said these penguins blink “their eyes open and shut, and they do it 24/7 for several weeks at a time. What’s surprising is that they’re able to function okay and successfully raise their young”.
Chinstrap penguins usually lay their eggs in November in nests made up of small rocks. As with many other kinds of penguins, mated pairs share parenting responsibilities. One parent usually watches the eggs and chicks alone while the other goes off fishing for family meals.
Adult penguins do not face many natural enemies in the mating season. But large birds called brown skuas eat the penguin eggs and small chicks. Other adult penguins may also try to steal the small rocks from nests. So, penguin parents must always be on guard.
For the first time, scientists followed the sleeping behavior of Chinstrap penguins in an Antarctic mating colony. They did this by attaching devices that measure brain waves. They collected data on 14 adults over 11 days on King George Island off the coast of Antarctica.
Won Young Lee is a biologist at the Korean Polar Research Institute. He thought of the idea for the study when he saw mating penguins often blinking their eyes and possibly sleeping during his long days of field observations. But the team needed to record brain waves to confirm the animals were sleeping.
“For these penguins, microsleeps have some restorative functions,” he said. He added that they would not survive without it.
The researchers did not collect sleep data outside the mating season. But they suspect that the penguins may sleep for longer periods at other times of the year.
12. What’s the main idea of the passage
A. Penguins keep awake for weeks when having chicks.
B. Penguins must have at least 11 hours’ sleep every day.
C. Penguins don’t have enough sleep because of antarctic climate.
D. Penguins can only sleep very short for the sake of their chicks’ safety.
13. What Niels did not expect about the Chinstrap penguins
A. They keep their eyes open when they are sleeping.
B. The short but repetitive sleep habit of theirs works well.
C. It does no harm to them when they keep awake for weeks.
D. They can function well even if they don’t have enough sleep.
14. How did these researchers get their findings
A. They paired, compared and collected. B. They followed, observed and recorded.
C. They attached device, filmed and analyzed. D. They read, researched and concluded.
15. What’s the limit of their study
A. They didn’t follow them all the year round.
B. Their study didn’t include other species of penguins.
C. The number of the penguins they studied was not big enough.
D. Their equipment was not advanced and their data was not accurate.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I stayed mostly at home recovering from major surgery for breast cancer. Then my Today show colleague Matt threw me a lifeline by asking whether I felt well enough to tape a“ Where in the World ” segment (节目). He suggested kindly that I pick a couple of days and escape. On second thought, I jumped at the chance.
The trip was fun, and on the plane back home, my plan was to sleep for the entire flight. The earbuds were an inch away from going in when the guy beside turned to me and said, “Hi. How are you doing I recognize you from somewhere.”
“I work on the Today show,” I told him, still holding my earbuds.
He smiled at me. “How’s Matt Is Matt nice ”
“Yeah,” I said. “Matt’s nice.”
“How’s Al Al seems funny.”
He then noticed I was wearing a compression sleeve (压力袖套) on my arm and asked what that was. I told him I’d had a “procedure” and needed the sleeve to fly, hoping we could change the subject.
But he continued, “What procedure did you have ”
“I had an operation” I said vaguely. Defeated by his curiosity, I finally said, “I had breast cancer. But, I hope that’s not the first thing you think of when getting off this flight, telling your kids, ‘Hey, I sat next to this girl with breast cancer.’”
He paused for a moment and said, “What’s wrong with that It is part of you, like going to college or getting married. Let me give you some advice: Don’t hog(独占) your journey. It’s not just for you. Think of how many people you could help.”
I could feel tears coming down my face.
“Look! You have a choice in life. You can either put your story deep in your pockets and take it to your grave, or you can help someone.”
Despite being open on a show, I’ve always been a private person, and aside from the few people who needed to know, I’d kept my illness secret. I didn’t want to be defined by my weakness.
