In March, the water between Canada and Greenland, called Baffin Bay, is cvered with sea ice. Scientists in a helicpter fly ver, searching fr narwhals (独角鲸). The narwhal is ne f the mst mysterius whale species n Earth. Each male sprts a single tusk (长牙) 6 t 10 feet lng. Narwhals are the nly whales with tusks. They feed n fish, squid and shrimp. By staying under the ice, they avid killer whales and ther predatrs.
The helicpter lands n the frzen cean, and Dr. Jens Kblitz climbs ut. He studies animal sunds at the BiAcustics Netwrk. And he wrks with Dr. Kristin Laidre, a bilgist wh studies mammals that live in the Arctic.
Dr. Kblitz lwers a weighted line int the icy water. Attached t the line are 16 underwater micrphnes strung tgether, abut a yard apart. Each sund frm a narwhal hits each micrphne at a slightly different time. When Dr. Kblitz recrds, he captures infrmatin abut hw the whales dive and rise as they hunt fr fd.
“The windchill is minus 5 t minus 22 degrees Fahrenheit. I have t quickly get everything back inside the helicpter s my equipment isn’t destryed by the cld and ice,” he says.
Narwhals use echlcatin. The whales buzz, click, and creak. When that sund wave hits an bject, like a fish, it bunces back, prducing an ech. They use snar t find hles in the ice and prey in the dark.
But as the average glbal temperature increases, the Arctic ice is shrinking. The narwhal will face a severe threat as the ice melts. Fr centuries, sea ice has blcked mst ships frm the Arctic Ocean. But scientists predict the cean will be ice-free in a few decades. Then ships will ram the narwhals habitats. The nise f the ships may drwn ut the whales’ clicks.
Dr. Laidre says, “If we understand what sunds they use, we can better understand hw human impacts.” That understanding can shw humans hw t help narwhals survive.
24. What is special abut narwhals?
A. They are the largest whales. B. They live n sea creatures.
C. Male whales have tusks. D. They prefer living in warm waters.
25. What des Dr. Kblitz d in Baffin Bay?
A. Study mammals in the Arctic. B. Recrd narwhal sunds.
C. Track climate changes. D. Learn hw narwhals hunt fr fd.
26. Which f the fllwing best describes Dr. Kblitz’s wrk?
A. Challenging. B. Bring. C. Well-paid. D. Relaxing.
27. What des paragraph 6 mainly talk abut?
A. The effects f glbal warming n narwhals.
B. The current situatin f narwhals.
C. Scientists’ research n the cean.
D. Human activities in the Arctic.

If yu ask mst peple whether they like having mre chices, the answer will be yes. But when it cmes t sales, a large selectin can actually hurt the sellers’ incme.
Althugh peple like chice, they becme verwhelmed (不知所措) by it. Hick’s Law perfectly prves this. It states that there is a measurable increase in hw lng it takes smebdy t make a decisin as the number f ptins that are available ges up.
That delay in decisin-making can prve damaging n an nline shpping site because it tends t result in users giving up. They are paralyzed by the decisin, and s, they decide t g away and think abut it. That will significantly reduce the number f peple wh eventually make a purchase.
I knw it can be hard t cnvince sellers t limit the variety f prducts r cmplex ptins they ffer n their sites, but there is sme strng evidence t supprt yur cause. Researchers in Califrnia ran an experiment in a lcal grcery stre. They set up a stall (货摊) in the stre selling jam. Sme days the stall wuld sell six flavrs f jams, while n ther days it ffered 24 varieties. The results were significant. On days when they sld 24 varieties, they saw a mere fur percent sales rate. Hwever, when they ffered nly six chices, that figure rse t a surprising 31 percent. Limiting chice wrks.
That experiment perfectly shws bth the prblem and the slutin. Despite the evidence, yu will nt always be able t persuade sellers t reduce chice. The next best ptin is t hide sme f thse chices.
Unlike a stall in a grcery stre, we have mre flexibility nline regarding hw prducts are displayed. We can highlight sme ptins and hide thers. Fr example, yu culd display the best-selling categries f prducts, while hiding ther grupings under smething like a “mre” ptin. If yu are unable t remve ptins, yu can at least fcus clients n the mst ppular chices.
28. What des Hick’s Law mainly tell us abut mre chices?
A. They increase prduct sales. B. They lead t better decisins.
C. They can better satisfy custmers. D. They make decisin-making harder.
29. What des the underlined wrd “paralyzed” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Attracted. B. Prevented. C. Cntrlled. D. Encurage
30. What d we learn frm the experiment in the grcery stre?
A. Mre varieties prduce mre prfits.
B. Fewer varieties attract mre custmers.
C. Mre varieties reduce running csts.
D. Fewer varieties create higher sales rate.
31. What des the authr advise in the last paragraph?
A. Imprving prduct quality. B. Increasing prduct varieties.
C. Aviding displaying all ptins. D. Hiding the best-selling prducts.
D
We are familiar with the unpleasant results f pr sleep. We may feel tired, anxius and bad-tempered, and everything gets a bit harder t d. But sleeplessness als impairs (损害) parts f the brain that affect ur scial lives and abilities t relate t ther peple, accrding t research by neurscientist Eti Ben Simn.
In the first study, Simn and his clleagues designed a task where participants wuld face each ther, and walk tward each ther. The participant wuld decide when smene gt t clse, and they wuld measure that distance. Cnsistently, when peple were sleep-deprived (睡眠不足的), they preferred thers t be farther away.
In a recent study, they asked participants t think abut different individuals while their brain activity was being recrded in an fMRI scanner. Then they answered a questinnaire (abut daily acts) that explred hw likely they were t help thers. They fund that sleep-deprived peple were significantly less likely t want t help thers.
They als lked at a database f charitable dnatins and cmpared the week f daylight saving time—when peple lse, n average, an hur f sleep—t ther weeks f the year. In 15 years’ wrth f data, they kept seeing that n that week, the amunt peple dnate is reduced by abut 10 percent.
Other researchers are lking at similar questins. A clleague published a study that fund dctrs prescribe (开处方) fewer painkillers during a night shift than a day shift, and that was accmpanied by reduced sympathy fr their patients.
They’ve fund that sleep deprivatin reduces activity in what’s knwn as the thery f mind netwrk in the brain. These are areas that help us think abut ther peple. The larger the impairment, the less they wanted t help ther peple.
It’s nt always easy t restre gd sleep. But nce we priritize it, we can really help shift symptms, md, anxiety and even the desire t be kind t ther peple.
32. What can be inferred frm the first study?
A. Distance is a key factr in scial cmmunicatin.
B. Participants tend t keep far away frm strangers.
C. Peple becme mre talkative because f sleep lss.
D. Lack f sleep makes peple less interested in scial interactin.
33. Which questin might be included in the questinnaire?
A. Hw did yu sleep last night?
B. Will yu keep the dr pen fr thers?
C. Wh will yu turn t when in sleep truble?
D. D yu find it hard t fcus after sleeplessness?
34. Why des the authr mentin “dctrs” in paragraph 5?
A. T give a warning. B. T describe a phenmenn.
C. T present an ppsite idea. D. T prvide mre evidence.
35. Which f the fllwing is a suitable title fr the text?
A. Give a Hand t Others in Need B. Lack f Sleep Becmes Universal
C. Sleep-Deprived Peple Are Selfish D. A Sund Sleep Des Gd t Health
