But sleeping can be dangerous because other animals may hunt sleeping animals. To help them stay safe, animals have many different ways of sleeping. Some of these ways may surprise you! 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 glide (滑行) for many hours without moving their wings up and down. Sometimes they sleep while they glide. A dolphin sleeps with just half its brain at a time. It must stay awake to breathe and to watch for danger. Dolphins can swim without sleep for two months to stay safe. Ducks sleep with just half their brain, too. The ducks often sleep in a line. The ducks at both ends help keep the group safe. They keep one eye open to watch for danger. The ducks in the middle sleep with both eyes closed. Seals breathe air, but that doesn’t stop them from sleeping under water. They hold their breath and dive deep to sleep for up to twenty minutes at a time. Some fish make their own sleeping bags.

The shops are full of love and hope because people with autism (孤独症) work there. Luo Liying started the shops after helping autistic children for over 20 years. “Many of my students grew up, but they had nowhere to work,” she said. She wanted to teach them skills that they could use anywhere. After trying many ideas, like opening a restaurant, she found that this kind of shop worked best. Every day, the workers clean the shops, collect things and put them in the right places. When they are free, teachers help them learn how to talk to people and how to use money. At night, there are no workers in the shops. People pick what they need and scan the QR code to pay. (扫码付费) The things in Lucky Star shops come from kind-hearted people. They give their books, toys, clothes and other useful things to the shops for free. The workers’ parents are very thankful. They say their children are excited about making money to buy their favourite things. Ms. Luo feels happy meeting kind people and helping her students. “I hope the shops can bring them a bright future,” she says. 16. Why are Lucky Star shops special? A. Because they sell beautiful gifts. B. Because they are in metro stations. C. Because they are open 24 hours a day. D. Because people with autism work there. 17. What does the second paragraph talk about? A. Where Ms. Luo got the things. B. How Ms. Luo found the shops. C. Why Ms. Luo started the shops. D. What Ms. Luo taught her students. 18.

Social media platforms (平台) allow users to share their thoughts, pictures, and videos with others anytime and anywhere. They are so popular. Every day, a large number of people use social media for both work and personal life. ②Social media has many good points. It helps people not only stay connected to their loved ones, but also make new friends. Sam is in the eighth grade. He said,“My best friend moved to another city a year ago, because his father got a new job as a doctor. But thanks to social media, we’re still able to stay in touch every day. I can see what he is doing and share fun moments with him. Social media also lets me meet new people. Recently, I’ve made a friend from the UK, and we’ve learnt something about each other’s culture.” ③However, there are also some downsides. Sometimes, people compare their lives to the perfect-looking lives in posts and feel sad about their own lives. This can lead to low self-esteem and even depression (抑郁). What’s more, spending too much time on social media can make people less active in real life. They might miss out on playing outside or talking to people face-to-face. ④In short, social media can be a great tool if we use it in the right way. It can help us stay connected and learn new things, but we need to be careful not to let it control our lives. 21. What does the underlined word “They” in paragraph 1 refer to? A. The great thoughts. B. The social media users. C. The social media platforms. D. The pictures and videos shared online. 22. Why does Sam think social media is good? A. It helps him build and keep relationships. B. It helps him get through sad times and stay happy. C. It allows him to share his life with more people. D. It allows him to compare his life with others’. 23. Which saying best shows the writer’s opinion about social media? A. Actions speak louder than words. B. Think twice before you act. C. Every coin has two sides. D. Easy come, easy go. 24. How is the text organized? A. ①/②③④ B. ①②③/④ C. ①/②③/④ D. ①②/③/④ 25. What can be the best title for the text? A. Why is social media popular? B. The influence of social media C. How should we build relationships? D. The best way to use social media 第二节 短文填空。（共5小题，每小题2分） 请阅读全文，并从文后的六个选项中选择五个还原到原文中，使原文的意思完整、连贯。 Starting a research project can be difficult.
