The largest capybaras may be 1.3 meters long and weigh 66 kilos or more.Capybaras are shy and live in groups of 10-20 along the lakes and rivers in South America.

An adult capybara may have three to eight babies each year. They can live up to about 10 years in the wild.Depending on your personal taste, capybaras may be considered cute.

Why? It’s because we’re looking into the world of sleep cycles in light of World Sleep Day which was celebrated on March 21.Our bodies sleep in 90-minute cycles. It means if we sleep 8 hours a night, we will experience five to six cycles each night. At first, you enter a light stage (阶段) of sleep when your muscles (肌肉) relax. The body temperature drops and the heart rate (心率) slows. Next comes deep sleep. It’s difficult to wake up during this stage. This is when your body repairs itself and builds up energy for the day. At this time, your heart rate is at the lowest point. Finally, you get into the rapid eye movement (REM) sleep stage. It is when most dreaming happens and the heart rate rises. After REM sleep, the cycle restarts.Waking up in the morning in the “wrong” stage can make you feel especially tired. An app called Sleep Calculator can help you to keep away from this. It can work out the perfect bedtime for you depending on your wake-up time.It’s also worth noting that you shouldn’t just start your sleep cycle whenever you want. Many young people go to bed late and get up late. They think as long as they have 8 hours of sleep,everything will be fine. But in fact, our bodies can tell the time by using light and temperature. That’s why sometimes we feel even more tired after oversleeping.36．If you sleep 7 hours at night, you will experience ________ sleep cycles.A．3~4B．4~5C．5~6D．6~737．What might happen during the deep sleep stage?A．Muscles relax.B．Temperature drops.C．Body repairs.D．Dreaming happens.38．How does the heart rate change during a sleep cycle?A．B．C．D．39．What does the underlined word “it” refer to?A．The cycle.B．The stage.C．The app.D．The body. 40．The writer wrote this text to ________.A．help people to get sleep cycle right B．encourage people to stay up lateC．show the importance of 8-hour sleep D．encourage people to wake up earlyEvery morning around 6 o’clock, Uncle Feng, along with other farmers, pours into the Shichuan Town Station of Line 4 - “Packbasket Special Line”. They carry baskets filled with fresh seasonal vegetables on their backs.“Packbasket Special Line”, connecting Shichuan town in Chongqing to the city center, has a total ride of 32.8 kilometers and 15 stations. It has provided farmers with a wider way to sell their goods (货物) since its opening in 2022.In order to help farmers, the station now opens at 6:10, five minutes earlier than before. The subway staff (工作人员) offer to help as much as possible: carrying the baskets and guiding themto enter the station quickly. Moreover, people over 65 years old can take the subway for free. Uncle Feng said, “It took us more than one hour to change several buses to the city before. It was a long ride with difficulties. So we always sold vegetables in the town at low prices. Now by taking the subway, we can get to the city in less than half an hour and sell vegetables at higher prices there.”However, some people argue that carrying large goods should not be allowed, because it may cause problems for other passengers and the subway. Chongqing Rail Transit said that passengers can carry goods on the subway as long as the size is not larger than 2 meters and the weight is not over 20 kilograms. But they’re not allowed to sell goods on it. If passengers notice that the carried vegetables smell bad, they can tell the subway staff, who will deal with it properly.Each basket on this special line not only carries the fresh seasonal vegetables, but also carries the warmth of the city Chongqing.41．How did the writer start the text?A．By listing numbers.B．By giving an example.C．By asking questions.D．By having a discussion.42．We can know something about the special line EXCEPT ________.A．The total ride B．The number of stationsC．The opening time D．The price of tickets43．What advantages (好处) might farmers get from this line?①Getting free goods. ①Making more money.①Saving their time.①Enjoying friendly service.A．①①①B．①①①C．①①①D．①①①44．Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?A．The subway station opened at 6:05 before.B．Passengers can’t carry goods over 2 meters.C．Passengers can buy goods on the subway.D．Station staff help farmers sell vegetables.45．What’s the best title of the text?A．Fast Subway, Warm City B．Happy Farmers, Kind PassengersC．Long Journey, Busy People D．Fresh Vegetables, Clean Subway阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的五个选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺、连贯，意思完整。

This special day brings fun to math lovers around the world. From classrooms to kitchens, people enjoy the fun of pi with activities like singing pi songs and making π cakes. On Pi Day, some students enjoy keeping its digits (数字) in mind, while others simply taste a delicious piece of pie. Pi is very fantastic. The exact digits of pi is difficult to calculate (计数). We only know it starts with 3.14159265. The number goes on and always changes. People have worked on the exact digits of pi for thousands of years. In the fifth century, Zu Chongzhi exactly calculated pi to seven decimal places (小数位). For 900 years after him, nobody succeed in calculating the number any further, That’s why pi is also known as “Zu’s ratio”.In 2021, some Swiss scientists calculated pi to 62.8 trillion (万亿) decimal places. It took them 108 days, but it was a new world record.In fact, we hardly need more than 15 decimal places of pi. Then why did scientists work out the 62.8 trillionth digit?Jan de Gier is a mathematician in Australia. He says that calculating pi is like the Olympic Games. It is not useful in itself, but it teaches us about what is possible. We may never finish calculating pi.Pi mirrors life itself, as our lives are also full of unknowns. We don’t know what’s going to happen. We’ll face many problems, but many surprises are waiting for us, too.36．What can people do on Pi Day according to the text?A．Dancing with pi songs.B．Making birthday cakes.C．Learning the digits of pi.D．Eating a tasty piece of pie.37．What does the underlined word “exact” in paragraph 2 probably mean in Chinese?A．无限的B．精确的C．粗略的D．近似的38．Which number can be called “Zu’s ratio”?A．3.14159.B．3.141592.C．3.1415926.D．3.14159265. 39．Jan de Gier thinks calculating pi is like the Olympic Games because both ________.A．waste little time B．are very usefulC．need a lot of money D．have lots of possibilities40．According to the text, we can learn Pi ________.A．has a short study history B．starts with 3.14159275C．is predictable and fantastic D．is too difficult to finish calculatingIt might sound like science films, but thanks to the development of AI, some people are looking for ways to keep their loved ones “alive”— even after they’ve died.Bao Xiaobo, a famous musician, used AI to create a digital (数字化) copy of his daughter who died. He then shared a video of the “daughter” on the Internet and had her sing a birthday song for his wife. If you could speak with your family or friends who died, would you take the chance?All in all, we should live now and look forward to the future. Only we use AI in a right way, can AI bring good changes to life.41．What did Bao Xiaobo use AI to create?A ．A video of his concert.B ．A photo for his daughter.C ．A digital copy of his daughter.D ．A birthday song for his family.42．Group Yes argues that AI can ________.A ．offer comfort to sad peopleB ．help people move forwardC ．make people forget their loved onesD ．enjoy the time with people in real life 43．What does the underlined word “it” in Group No probably refer to?A ．Death.B ．AIC ．Love.D ．Life.44．According to the Group No the most important thing is to ________.A ．ask a therapist for helpB ．enjoy the life we live nowC ．accept death as a part of lifeD ．use AI to bring back loved ones45．What can be the best title for the text?A ．Can AI improve our lives?B ．Should we use AI to help the sick?C ．Can AI help us have better memories?D ．Should we use AI to copy the loved ones?阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的五个选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺、连贯，意思完整。
