Even though elephant seals are large animals,they have to be careful in the ocean.Near the surface (K),predators like sharks and orcas are a danger.So elephant seals spend most of their time diving (deep underwater,looking for food.Usually,they will dive for about 30 minutes, then come up for air for just a couple of minutes before diving again. Scientists have wondered how elephant seals can sleep while they're at sea,since they are almost diving all the time.Animals like dolphins and sea lions have a special way.One half of their brain can sleep.while the other stays awake.But elephant seals are like humans-both halves of the brain need to go to sleep at the same time So how do they sleep? To find out,a scientist named Jessica Kendall-Bar did a research She created a special cap that could record the elephant seals'brain activity.The cap also collected information on the elephant seals'heart rates,how their bodies were moving,and how deep they were.Dr.Kendall-Bar and her team put the caps on thirteen voung female elephant seals. The scientists learned that elephant seals steep in short times while they are diving.They only sleep for about 10 minutes at a time.They wake up in time to go up for more air.The scientists found that elephant seals only sleep for about two hours a day when they're in the ocean.That means that the rest they get once they return to land is very important,which helps them have energy again. Back on land they sleep for about 10.8 hours a day The researchers hope that their work will help to protect the places where elephant seals sleep when they're on land. 123.How do elephant seals sleep while they are in the ocean? A.One half of their brain sleeps while the other stays awake. B.Both halves of their brain sleep at the same time. C.They sleep for quite a long time. D.They don't sleep at all. 124.What's Paragraph 4-mainly about? A.Why the team chose young female elephant seals. B.What the elephant seals'brain activity looks like.

B.It helps them get their energy back. C.It allows them to stay away from dangers. D.It helps them get enough food. ()26.In which part of a magazine can we find the passage? A.Travel and transportation.B.Education and art.C.Health and sports. D.Human and nature. D 'f you've ever used pi in math class,you probably used the number What's in pi? 3.14.In fact,the number for pi is much longer.Pi is called an irrational umber(无理数)because the digits(数位)after the decimal point(小数点 never end or repeat. In 2015,a young man from India named Rajveer Meena amaune set a world record by memorizing 70,000 digits of pi.But pi is much longer than that. On Pi Day (March 14th)this year,a company called Solidigm said it calculated (pi to 105 trillion (digits.And the 105 trillionth digit is 6.It broke the record for how many digits of pi we know. Pi is really useful for circles in math.It helps us connect the circumference with the diameter of a circle. Even NASA scientists use pi for their work of studying space.But they only need about 15 digits of pi for their calculations. Calculating pi also has another important use.It's how scientists test new computer programs and data storage systems(数据存储系统. Solidigm's calculation of pi took around 75 days to finish.The company's owner Brian Beeler said that the achievement needed a lot of work.They had to plan the calculation very carefully. This isn't the first time that Solidigm has calculated pi.In 2022,Google Cloud calculated 100 trillion digits of pi.Solidigm matched that in 2023. In the future,we'll keep finding more and more digits of pi.We'll never be able to calculate all the digits of pi because it goes on forever.But it still helps us see how great computers can be. )27.What can we learn from Paragraph 1? A.What pi is. B.How pi works.C.How long pi is.D.Why pi is important. ()28.What's the use of the chart(图表？ A.To show pi is long. B.To explain one use of pi. C.To compare two different circles. D.To let people know more about circles. ()29.What does the underlined word "that"in Paragraph 8 refer to? A.Memorizing 70,000 digits of pi. B.Spending 75 days calculating pi. C.Calculating pi to 105 trillion digits. D.Calculating 100 trillion digits of pi. ()30.Why did the writer write the passage?
