But sleeping can also be dangerous because other animals may hurt those who are sleeping. This leads to many different ways of sleeping that help them stay safe. Some of these ways may surprise you!Almost all bats sleep upside down. They hang from a branch of a tree or the ceiling of a cave. Up high, bats are safe from most other animals. If they are in danger, they just fly away.A dolphin sleeps with just half its brain at a time. It must stay awake to breathe and to watch for danger. Dolphin mothers and babies can go without sleep for as long as two months to stay safe.Some ducks sleep with just half their brains, too. These ducks often sleep in a line. The ducks at both ends help to keep the group safe. They keep one eye open to watch for danger. The ducks in the middle sleep deeply with both eyes closed.Seals breathe air, but that doesnt stop some of them from sleeping underwater. They hold their breath and dive deep to sleep for up to twenty minutes at a time. Sleeping deep underwater helps these seals stay safe from animals that hunt them near the surface.Horses often sleep standing up. Their legs lock in place so they dont fall over. If a horse is lying down, it needs a long time to get up. A horse can run from danger more quickly if it is already standing.A flamingo can sleep while standing on one leg. The standing leg locks so it stays straight. The other leg remains close to the flamingos body. Its head rests on its back. A flamingo lives (and sleeps) near many other birds to stay safe.Some seabirds can sleep while they fly. These large birds spend most of their lives over the ocean. They are in danger on the water, but they are safe in the air. They fly for many hours without flapping（拍打）their wings. Sometimes they sleep while they are flying.Would you like to sleep how they sleep?（1）The animals that sleep with half their brains are _.A . ducks and sealsB . dolphins and ducksC . bats and dolphinsD . flamingos and seabirds（2）Horses often stand up when they sleep because _.A . they can run from danger quicklyB . they are afraid of falling overC . this helps them to sleep deeplyD . it takes them a long time to go to sleep（3）The underlined word hunt in Paragraph 5 probably means _.A . offer to helpB . come to teachC . refuse to protectD . want to kill（4）Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A . How animals sleepB . Sleep to stay healthyC . Sleep as animals doD . What sleeping animals are like13. （10分）阅读理解 In the 1950s, a female swimming athlete set a goal for herself. She decided to swim across the English Channel before she retired. If she could make it, she would be the first person in the world who did it. On that day, she jumped into the sea without any hesitation and swam towards the opposite bank. In the journey, she faced heavy fog, heavy rain and heavy waves. Though she was very tired, she carried on swimming. But in the end, she gave up. And what she didnt know at the moment she gave up was that the opposite bank was only 1 mile away. Later people asked her about the reason. And she said, The reason why I gave up is that I could not see the destination which I was so close to. Too many stories about success have been lecturing us about courage and persistence(坚持). But they never told us where to find courage and persistence. You can have courage only when you know where your goal is. You can manage to persist only when you know where your goal is, and prepare yourself well mentally(心理上). Courage and persistence never fall from the sky. They come from weighing between input and output. A life without goals is like a ship without a compass. It goes nowhere. There is no courage or persistence in a life without goals. （1）In Paragraph 1, the underlined word it refers to _. A . being retiredB . swimming across the English ChannelC . swimming towards the bankD . setting a goal（2）_ is not mentioned in the passage. A . FogB . The waveC . RainD . Wind（3）The underlined word weighing in Paragraph 8 probably means _. A . 权衡B . 有重C . 称重量D . 有分量（4）Why did the athlete give up? Because _. A . the bank was one mile awayB . she was too tiredC . she didnt have courage at firstD . she thought her destination was far away（5）What can be inferred from the last sentence of the passage? A . If you have courage and persistence, you have goals.B . Even if you have no goals, you have courage to persist.C . There is no courage or persistence unless you know your goals.D . Between input and output, you must find courage and persistence.14. （10分）根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。If you want to become a better reader, here are four points to remember about speed of reading.Knowing why you are readingwhat you are reading to find outwill often help you to know whether to read quickly or slowly.Some things should be read slowly, such as instructions for making or doing something, maths problems, science and history books.

Everyone thought that was a perfect picture of peace.The other picture had mountains too. But these were rugged(崎岖的） and bare（无遮蔽的）.Above was an angry sky. And it was raining and lightening. Down the side of the mountain, a waterfall fell quickly. This did not look peaceful at all.But when the King looked carefully, he saw behind the waterfall a bush(矮树丛)growing in a crack（裂缝） in the rock In the bush a mother bird had built her nest（巢，窝）, There, she sat on her nest in perfect peace.Which picture do you think won the prize?The King chose the second picture.Because, said the King, peace does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble, or hard work.
