1．How Do Different Animals Sleep？ Big Sleepers
Predators，such as lions and wolves，tend to sleep more than their prey.They also spend more time dreaming，although scientists don't know why.
Light Sleepers
Giraffes don't get very much sleep — only a few hours a day.For giraffes，sleeping is awkward and leaves them weak to their enemies.So giraffes mostly take short naps while standing up.But they do need to lie down for half an hour or so of deep，dreaming sleep.It can take a whole minute for a giraffe to get back up on its long legs again.
A Comfortable Bed
Most animals like to find a safe，comfortable place to sleep.Gorillas make themselves sleeping nests of branches and leaves on the ground or in a tree.Every gorilla makes a fresh new nest every night，even if they haven5 t moved far from the one they used the night before.
Half-asleep
Dolphins are air-breathing mammals that swim in the sea.But how do they sleep？If they stop swimming to take a nap，won't they sink and drown？Scientists studying seals and dolphins have discovered a surprising answer — these animals can sleep with one half of their brain while the other half stays awake!While the right half of the dolphin's brain is asleep，the left half stays awake.This lets the dolphin keep its nose above the water so it can breathe.After about 20 minutes，the sides switch，allowing the other half of the dolphin's brain to sleep.

2．Hans is a young German born after 1995，who is a big fan of Chinese culture.He has been learning traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） since 2016.Now he is studying for his master's degree at Henan University of Chinese Medicine.
As he thought some diseases can't be treated thoroughly with Western medicine，he decided to research into TCM.Hans came to Central China's Henan Province in 2015，where a rich TCM culture can be enjoyed because Henan Province is the hometown of Zhang Zhongjing，the medical master of ancient China.After one year of learning the Chinese language，he started to learn Chinese medicine.Hans thought TCM is one of the best-preserved aspects of Chinese culture.He hopes to solve problems and understand Chinese culture deeply by learning TCM.
Without a language barrier，Hans read some of the ancient Chinese medical classics，such as Huangdi Neijing and Yi Jing.He believes different aspects of traditional Chinese culture interact with each other.
Studying TCM also changed Hans' mind and lifestyle.He used to be addicted to electronic devices and stay up late every night，trapped in this fast-paced but unhealthy daily routine.But now，according to the Yin-Yang theory in TCM，he lives a balanced and peaceful life，practicing good habits such as drinking tea and meditating（冥想），as well as reading ancient books.
Hans also uses what he has learned to help his family.Previously，acupuncture（針灸） tools and Chinese medicine were necessities when he went back to his home in Germany.With acupuncture and Chinese-style massages（按摩），various physical disorders of his family have been well-treated.Now，he always provides his family members with some advice about staying fit after he checks their skin or tongues online.Over time ，his family gradually began to understand his passion for TCM.

3．Despite years of drought and water-saving policies，Californians continue to put a lot of clean，drinkable water into yards to keep the greenery alive.Now，however，Southern California officials have carried out very strict limits on outdoor water use in response to a water shortage emergency.So you may need to find other ways to keep your plants from drying in the summer sun.
How about watering them with grey water instead of clean water？Grey water is the water from showers，bathtubs，washing machines — anything that's not filled with human waste，food or poisonous chemicals.With the right measures，grey water can be fine for most plant life.
If you're a typical Southern Californian，you're throwing a lot of grey water into the sewer system.Every load of clothes you wash leads to roughly 15 to 40 gallons of it，depending on your washer's design and efficiency.Over the course of a year，thousands of gallons of soapy water ran away.That's enough to keep a number of trees and other plants happy.And if you're really ambitious，you can build a system that carries all of your horned grey water to the roots of your grassland，thus making your non-native grass in your yard watered regularly.
Some critics，the Los Angeles Sanitation and Environment Bureau，see grey water recycling as environmentally risky，damaging public wastewater recycling efforts and uneconomic.However，other local agencies across the state，including the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power，actively endorse grey water projects as a way to reduce water use.Supporters admit that the projects carry some risk and require great efforts，but insist that they can save clean water and help your plants.
（1）What can be inferred from paragraph 1？
A．California is very rich in clean and drinkable water.
B．There is a lack of water-saving policies in California.
C．Outdoor water use in California will be strictly controlled.
D．Different ways to save water have been adopted in California.
（2）What's the purpose of paragraph 3？
A．To summarize the benefits of using grey water.
B．To provide reasons why grey water should be used.
C．To make a prediction about the future of grey water.
D．To introduce some new ways to save drinkable water.
（3）What's the attitude towards the use of grey water according to the last paragraph？
A．Negative.
B．Indifferent.
C．Positive.
D．Objective.
（4）What does the underlined word "endorse" mean in paragraph 4？
A．Oppose.
B．Promote.
C．Abandon.
D．Recover.組卷：3引用：2難度：0.5

John could not shut out his wife's complaint anymore.He was tired of hearing her laughing at him，for example，what a bad husband he was.Mary was never satisfied with anything that he did.If he brought home ＄4 ，000，she would tell him stories of how much her colleagues' husbands earned.If he had bought her flowers，she would still complain about how other people received diamonds instead.She was impossible to please.
He decided to take a walk along the quiet banks of the lake.It was always a good way to calm down himself after an argument with his wife.As he walked towards the bus stop，he thought over his life.Sometimes，he wondered that it must be a mistake for him when he married Mary.Perhaps，they had been happy in the early days，but those days were definitely behind them now.
As he approached the bus stop，he spotted a white basket on the seat.Curiosity caught him，so he walked closer to take a look.To his surprise，it was a baby all wrapped up in a rough white towel.As he reached out to touch the baby，it suddenly stretched out to try to hold his fingers.John was amused.As he laughed with happiness at the beautiful face of the baby，waves of being gentle washed over him.What a beautiful baby!He wondered who could have the heart to abandon（拋棄）such a joy.
Suddenly，John picked up the basket and ran quickly to the police post just some distance away.He reported finding the baby and，when it was discovered that no one had come to report a missing baby，he was asked to keep the baby for the time being.Although doubtful at the beginning，the policeman soon gave in to John's obvious honesty.Somehow，John knew that Mary would welcome this baby into their childless marriage.
