【解答】（1）细节理解题。根据第二段中的For another thing，it usually takes giraffes about one minute to stand up and run away at once，so they like sleeping standing up.（另一方面，长颈鹿通常需要一分钟左右才能站起来逃跑，所以它们喜欢站着睡觉。）可知，长颈鹿大部分时间都站着睡觉是因为如果有危险，它们可以快速地逃跑，故选：D。
（2）词义猜测题。根据第二段中的like a lion，might get them in that time（像狮子一样，可能会在那个时候抓住它们）可知，划线的单词"predator"在汉语中是捕食者，故选：B。
（3）细节推理题。根据第二段中的Giraffes sleep for just a few hours each day.（长颈鹿每天只睡几个小时。）可知，长颈鹿是浅睡眠者；根据第四段中的Lions are big sleepers，too.（狮子也是睡眠深的。） 可知，狮子深睡眠者；根据最后一段中的The other half stays awake!Like dolphins，when some birds fly far across the sea，they can also sleep with half of their brains and the other half keeps flying.（另一半保持清醒！像海豚一样，当一些鸟类飞越大海时，它们也可以用一半的大脑睡觉，另一半继续飞行。）可知，鸟是半睡眠者；因此长颈鹿、狮子和鸟类分别是浅睡眠者、深睡眠者和半睡眠者。故选：C。
（4）推理判断题。根据最后一段中的The other half stays awake!Like dolphins，when some birds fly far across the sea，they can also sleep with half of their brains and the other half keeps flying.（另一半保持清醒！像海豚一样，当一些鸟类飞越大海时，它们也可以用一半的大脑睡觉，另一半继续飞行。）和After they get home，they sleep a lot.（回家后，他们睡得很香。）可判断出，当一些鸟飞得很远的时候，它们也可以用一半的大脑睡觉，另一半的大脑继续飞行，它们到家了，就睡得很多，因此不是它们不累，故选：A。
（5）主旨大意题。根据第一段中的But they all have one thing in common：sleep!All animals need sleep.Some sleep a little，others sleep a lot，and some get their zzzz's in interesting ways.（但他们都有一个共同点：睡眠！所有的动物都需要睡眠。一些人睡得很少，另一些人睡的很多，还有一些人以有趣的方式得到他们的zzzz。） 以及通读全文可知，文章的主旨是不同的动物有不同的睡眠方式。故选：B。
六、短文填空请用适当的词完成下面的短文。每个空只能填写一个形式正确、意义相符的单词。
25．（15分）What would people like to eat on their birthday？The answer would be different in different countries.
In many countries，people have birthday （1）　cakes　 with candles.The number of candles （2）　is　 the person's age.The birthday person must make（3）　a　 wish and blow out the candles.If he or she blows out all the candles in one go，the wish will come （4）　true　.In the UK，people sometimes put a candy in a birthday cake.The child（5）　with　the candy is lucky.
In China，it is（6）　getting/becoming　popular to have cake on your birthday.But many people still eat very long noodles for（7）　their　 birthday.They never cut up the noodles（8）　because　the long noodles are a symbol of long life.In some places，Chinese people also eat eggs on their birthday.They are a（9）　symbol　 of life and good luck.
All of these birthday foods may be different，but the ideas are the （10）　same　.They bring good luck to the birthday person.
【解答】（1）考查名词。句意：在许多国家，人们吃插上蜡烛的生日蛋糕。根据have birthday ...with candles（插上蜡烛的生日......）可知，此处带有蜡烛的应是生日蛋糕，birthday cake"生日蛋糕"，此处表示泛指，所以应用复数形式。故填cakes。
（2）考查be动词。句意：蜡烛的数量就是这个人的年龄。根据常识可知，过生日时，过生日的人是几岁，就在生日蛋糕上插几根蜡烛，这里是主系表结构，主语是The number of candles，时态是一般现在时，be动词用is。故填is。
（3）考查冠词。句意：过生日的人必须许下一个愿望并吹灭蜡烛。make a wish"许愿"，固定短语。故填a。
（4）考查短语。句意：如果他或她一口气吹灭所有的蜡烛，愿望就会实现。根据the wish will come...（愿望就会......）可知，此处指愿望实现，come true"实现"。故填true。
（5）考查介词。句意：得到糖果的孩子是幸运的。根据people sometimes put a candy in a birthday cake.（人们有时会在生日蛋糕里放一颗糖果。）和 is lucky（是幸运的）可知，应是得到蛋糕里的糖果的孩子是幸运的，此处用with表示"有"，介词短语作后置定语，故填with。
（6）考查动词。句意：在中国，生日吃蛋糕正变得越来越流行。根据But many people still eat very long noodles.（但是许多人仍然吃很长的面条。）可知，but表示句意上的转折，所以空处指"在中国，吃蛋糕正变得越来越流行"，popular是形容词，所以空处应是系动词，get/become"变得"符合语境，is后跟现在分词构成现在进行时结构。故填getting/becoming。
（7）考查形容词。句意：但是许多人生日时吃长长的面条。根据many people （许多人）可知，此处指"他们的生日"，their作定语修饰名词birthday。故填their。
（8）考查连词。句意：他们从不切面条，因为长长的面条是长寿的象征。空后the long noodles are a symbol of long life.（长长的面条是长寿的象征。）是空前They never cut up the noodles （他们从不切面条）的原因，所以用because引导原因状语从句。故填because。
（9）考查名词。句意：它们是生命和好运的象征。they指的是上文提到的"eggs（鸡蛋），结合常识可知，鸡蛋是生活和好运的象征，a symbol of"……的象征"。故填symbol。
（10）考查形容词。句意：所有这些生日食物可能不同，但理念是相同的。根据but（但是）可知，空后表示转折，指食物不同，但是理念一样，same"一样的"，形容词作表语。故填same。
