Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:
Birds that are literally half-asleep—with one brain
hemisphere alert and the other sleeping—control which side of
the brain remains awake, according to a new study of sleeping
ducks.
Earlier studies have documented half-brain sleep in a wide
range of birds. The brain hemispheres take turns sinking into
the sleep stage characterized by slow brain waves. The eye
controlled by the sleeping hemisphere keeps shut, while the
wakeful hemisphere’s eye stays open and alert. Birds also can
sleep with both hemispheres resting at once.

range of birds. The brain hemispheres take turns sinking into
the sleep stage characterized by slow brain waves. The eye
controlled by the sleeping hemisphere keeps shut, while the
wakeful hemisphere’s eye stays open and alert. Birds also can
sleep with both hemispheres resting at once.
Decades of studies of bird flocks led researchers to predict
第 2 页 共 15 页 extra alertness in the more vulnerable, end-of-the-row
sleepers, Sure enough, the end birds tended to watch carefully
on the side away from their companions. Ducks in the inner spots
showed no preference for gaze direction.
Also, birds dozing（打盹）at the end of the line resorted to
single-hemisphere sleep, rather than total relaxation, more
often than inner ducks did. Rotating 16 birds through the
positions in a four-duck row, the researchers found outer birds
half-asleep during some 32 percent of dozing time versus about
12 percent for birds in internal spots.
“We believe this is the first evidence for an animal
behaviorally controlling sleep and wakefulness simultaneously
in different regions of the brain,” the researchers say.
The results provide the best evidence for a long-standing
supposition that single-hemisphere sleep evolved as creatures
scanned for enemies. The preference for opening an eye on the
lookout side could be widespread, he predicts. He’s seen it
in a pair of birds dozing side-by-side in the zoo and in a single
pet bird sleeping by mirror. The mirror-side eye closed as if
the reflection were a companion and the other eye stayed open.
Useful as half-sleeping might be, it’s only been found in birds
and such water mammals（哺乳动物）as dolphins, whales, and seals.
第 3 页 共 15 页 Perhaps keeping one side of the brain awake allows a sleeping
animal to surface occasionally to avoid drowning.
Studies of birds may offer unique insights into sleep. Jerome
M. Siegel of the UGLA says he wonders if birds’ half-brain sleep
“is just the tip of the iceberg（冰山）”. He speculates that
more examples may turn up when we take a closer look at other
species.
11. A new study on birds’ sleep has revealed that ____________.
A) birds can control their half-brain sleep consciously
B) birds seldom sleep with the whole of their brain at rest
C) half-brain sleep is found in a wide variety of birds
D) half-brain sleep is characterized by slow brain waves
12. According to the passage, birds often half sleep because
______________.
A) they have to constantly keep an eye on their companions
B) the two halves of their brain are differently structured
C) they have to watch out for possible attacks
D) their brain hemisphere take turns to rest
13. The example of a bird sleeping in front of a mirror indicates
that _____________.
A) birds prefer to sleep in pairs for the sake of security
B) the phenomenon of birds dozing in pairs is widespread
第 4 页 共 15 页 C) a single pet bird enjoys seeing its own reflection in the
mirror
D) even an imagined companion gives the bird a sense of
security
14. While sleeping, some water mammals tend to keep half awake
in order to __________.
A) avoid being swept away by rapid currents
B) emerge from water now and then to breathe
C) alert themselves to the approaching enemy
D) be sensitive to the ever-changing environment
15. By “just the tip of the iceberg” (Line 2, Para.8), Siegel
suggests that ____________.
A) half-brain sleep is a phenomenon that could exist among
other species
B) most birds living in cold regions tend to be half sleepers
C) the mystery of half-brain sleep is close to being solved
D) half-brain sleep has something to do with icy weather

Although credit cards are becoming a more acceptable part of the
financial scene, they are still regarded with suspicion by many as being a
major part of the "live now pay later" syndrome(^Jttt). Along with
hire-purchase, rental and leasing schemes, they provide encouragement
to spend more money. Of course, it is only the foolhardy who yield to the
temptation to live, temporarily at least, beyond their means, and such
people would no doubt manage to do so even without credit cards.
Advertising campaigns have, however, promoted a growing
realization of the advantages of these small pieces of plastic. They
obviate (避免) need to carry large amounts of cash and are always useful
in emergencies.
All the credit card organizations charge interest on a monthly basis
which may work out as high as 25 per cent a year, yet judicious

What can be done about mass unemployment? All the wise heads agree:
therere no quick or any answers. Theres work to be done, but workers arent ready to
do it-theyre in the wrong places, or they have the wrong skills. Our problem are
structural, and will take many years to solve.
But dont bother asking for evidence that justifies this bleak view. There isnt any.
On the contrary, all the facts suggest that high unemployment in America is the result
of inadequate demand. Saying that therere no easy answers sounds wise, but its
actually foolish: our unemployment crisis could be cured very quickly if we had the
intellectual clarity and political will to act. In other words, structural unemployment is

We are all naturally attracted to people with ideas,
beliefs and interests like our own. Similarly, we feel
comfortable
with people with physical qualities similar as ours. (71)
You may have noticed about how people who live or work (72)

copy these we are close to or love or admire. So a sportsman’s (73)
