Hai created the stry inspired by a painting masterpiece Qianli Jiangshan Tu by Wang Ximeng frm the Sng Dynasty, wh painted the wrk at the

13.Sleep-deprived （缺乏睡眠的） human parents knw the value f a quick nap, but it turns ut Chinstrap penguins have us all beat. When nesting,
these Antarctic birds take fur-secnd-lng "micrsleeps," a strategy that allws parents t keep cnstant watch ver vulnerable eggs and chicks, all
while amunting t 11 hurs f ttal sleep a day, accrding t a new study.
It's hard t sleep in a cmmunity f nesting Chinstrap penguins. The Antarctic summer sun prvides 24/7 daylight. And then there's the eye-watering
smell f ammnia mixed with rtting fish and penguin wastes. "It made me dizzy," says c-study leader Wn Yung Lee, a researcher at the Krea Plar
Research Institute.
Like ther penguins, Chinstrap parents take turns guarding the nest. While ne bird prtects the chicks, the partner hunts at sea. Then the penguins
trade places. Fr tw mnths between egg laying and fledging, it's a series f nnstp demands.
T study hw penguins manage t accmplish all this and get the necessary sleep, Lee and his team first stuck bilggers, small battery-pwered
devices, t the backs f 14 nesting penguins f bth sexes. This device functins like a smartwatch, measuring physical activity, pulse, and the cean
depths f hunting birds. Next, the team captured each f the penguins, anesthetizing （麻醉） them t attach the devices and temprarily implant
electrdes int their skull t measure brain activity. When an animal is awake, the brain cnstantly buzzes with activity. During sleep, hwever, brain
waves slw dwn and stretch ut. When Lee started reviewing the data, he was surprised t discver the birds slept in fur-secnd intervals （间隔）
thrughut the day and night while caring fr their egg r chick.
While the data is cnvincing, Cirelli, a neurscientist at the University f Wiscnsin wh wasn't invlved in the study, ntes that the researchers nly
studied the penguins during nesting perids, making it impssible t tell if the birds micrsleep when they're nt parenting. The ther challenge is
understanding hw micr sleep impacts the brains and bdies f the penguins. Sleep deprivatin in humans causes a range f health prblems, and it's
nt clear whether penguins experience this, t.
【小题1】What des the underlined wrd "vulnerable" in paragraph 1 prbably mean?

B．Brken.
C．Stlen.
D．Genuine.
【小题2】Hw did the researchers cllect data fr the study?
A．They stuck smartwatches t the back f penguins.
B．They recrded the penguins' waking and sleep duratin.
C．They captured the penguins and placed devices int their nests.
D．They mnitred their physical and brain activity using different devices.
【小题3】What's the main idea f the last paragraph?
A．The prspect f the research.
B．The limitatins f the research.
C．Micrsleep is cmmn in parenting penguins.
D．Micrsleep may cause health prblems t penguins.
【小题4】What can be a pssible title fr the text?
A．A shrt-term strategy t deal with lack f fd
B．A shrt-term strategy t cpe with extreme weather
C．A 4-secnd nap: penguin parents survive n "micrsleeps"
D．A 4-secnd nap: Chinstrap penguins seek t hunt fr enugh fd
14.If yu use the internet, yu've prbably heard f a filter bubble （过滤气泡）. Internet sites and scial media platfrms use algrithms （算法）
that shw yu cntent based n yur previus interactins, likes, and shares. Over time, this creates a filter bubble where yu nly see cntent that
agrees with yur interests and beliefs, which serves t cnvince yu that yur beliefs are true. But what yu might nt knw is that in similar fashin,
yur brain has several mechanisms t filter infrmatin, creating persnal filter bubbles that deeply shape hw yu live yur life.
Self-created filter bubbles happen thrugh varius cgnitive prcesses, and they have multiple cnsequences. They shape yur experience f what's
happening by frming a lens （镜片） thrugh which yu see and interpret the wrld. On the internet, because things are being presented based n past
user histry, n tw peple get the same results when they search fr smething n Ggle r pen their news feed. In real life, n tw peple are

experiencing an event r seeing a situatin in the exact same way, because we all bring ur wn past experiences and biases （偏见） t situatins,
causing us t prcess them differently.
Filter bubbles can cause yu t stay stuck in self-created and ften self-limiting patterns f thught and behavir. If yu've ever wndered why
change is s hard, it's because yur mental filter bubbles make it difficult t see different pssibilities. If yu hld the belief that yu're nt smene wh
can have a high-paying jb, yu wn't lk fr ne and yu'll nly seek ut and see jbs that match up with what yu think yu're wrth.
Filter bubbles can als prevent critical thinking and can lead t a limited and biased view f the wrld, where peple dn't cnsider alternative
viewpints and dn't engage with thers utside f their wn circles. When we nly cnsume infrmatin that cnfirms ur preexisting beliefs and
values, we dn't questin the truth f that infrmatin r prperly evaluate the evidence.
While yu can't prevent yur brain frm creating selective filter bubbles, yu can becme mre aware s that yu dn't have t be limited r
trapped by them.
【小题1】What can we learn abut filter bubbles?
A．They have little effect n us.
B．They shape ur interpretatins f the wrld.
C．They are frequent ccurrences and have little effect n us.
D．They assist us in making friends with like-minded individuals.
【小题2】Hw d filter bubbles impact individuals' ability t embrace change?
A．They facilitate pen-mindedness and flexibility.
B．They help individuals adapt quickly t new situatins.
C．They prevent individuals frm successfully securing a jb.
D．They make individuals resistant t seeking ut new pprtunities.
【小题3】What might the authr cntinue talking abut?
A．Barriers t vercming filter bubbles.
B．Benefits f recgnizing filter bubbles.
C．Ways t avid getting trapped in the filter bubbles.
D．Examples f yur brain creating mental filter bubbles.
【小题4】Which wrd can describe the influence f filter bubbles n peple?
A．Negative.
B．Indirect.
C．Psitive.
D．Unclear.

19.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。
On the first day f sixth grade, I sat in my quiet hmerm class and bserved all the peple wh I wuld eventually befriend and pssibly graduate
with. I glanced arund the rm and nticed that the majrity f the middle class kids were dressed in their nicest first day f schl utfits.
My glance stpped n a shy-lking girl in the back f the rm. She wre wrn-ut, mismatched clthes. Her hair was unusually shrt and
unwashed. I caught myself thinking, "That's disgusting （恶心的）. Desn't she knw what a bathtub is?" As I lked arund, I figured thers were
prbably thinking the same thing.
The teacher began checking the attendance, each persn casually lifting his r her hand as names were called in turn.
"Terri Jacksn?" the teacher asked.
Finally we heard a submissive answer frm the back f the rm, fllwed by the sund f rubbing clth. We all shifted in ur seats t see what had
happened.
"Scary Terri rubbed her shirt!" ne by jked. "Eww, I bet it's a hundred years ld!" anther girl cmmented. One cmment after anther brught a
rar f laughter.
I was prbably laughing the ludest. Sadly, making Terri feel insecure made me feel secure and cnfident. It was a gd break frm the awkward
silence and uncmfrtable first day.
Terri Jacksn was the jke f the whle sixth grade that year. If we had nthing t talk abut,
Terri's trip thrugh the lunchrm was an entertaining cnversatin starter.
At my twelfth birthday party, ten gssipy girls were playing Truth r Dare （真心话大冒险）, a favrite party game. We had just finished a Terri
Jacksn discussin. It was my turn at the game.
"Umm... Sydney! Truth r Dare?" ne f my friends asked.
"Hw abut a dare? Bring it n. I'll d anything." Oh, if nly I'd knwn what she was abut t say.
"Okay, I dare yu t invite Terri Jacksn ver t yur huse next Friday fr tw whle hurs!"

"Tw whle hurs? Please ask smething else, please!" I begged. "Hw culd anybdy d that?" But I have n chice.
The next day, I cautiusly walked up t Terri.
