The wrld f underwater slumber is unlike what we see n the surface. Fr mammals （哺乳动 物）, a gd night's sleep sends an animal int a state f uncnsciusness （无知觉） during hurs f restrative sleeping that helps heal the bdy and slidify memries firmly in the mind. Fr fish, hwever, sleep isn't such a well-defined prcess. Instead, many fish species have taken t spending shrt perids in a state f reduced activity r rest while keeping their eyes pen t scan the water fr ptential threats. During these perids f reduced activity, a fish's bdily functins slw dwn and its watchfulness drps.
The breadth f animals in the cean that exhibit this type f reduced activity is widereaching. Amng the hundreds f thusands f creatures in the sea, sme merely ride alng with the current, such as jellyfish. Others find rcky bedrms fr the night, while thse such as stingrays bury themselves in the sand t rest. Hwever, it must be really hard t get a gd night's sleep when yu breathe air but live in water. This is smething that the wrld's underwater mammals have t deal with.
T prevent themselves frm drwning （溺死） in their sleep, underwater mammals such as dlphins and manatees have develped the ability t "turn ff' ne side f their brain t rest, knwn as unihemispheric sleep. While ne side is fast asleep, the ther keeps all the animal's vital functins running, such as breathing. Manatees, fr example, lve t sleep, spending up t 12 hurs a day in a deep slumber. Hwever, as air-breathing animals, manatees need t surface every 20 minutes r s fr xygen. T achieve this, the half f the brain that's still awake sends the sleeping manatee t the surface t get sme air.
24. What des the underlined wrd "slumber" in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Rest. B. Sleep. C. Danger. D. Activity.
25. Why is it hard t define sleep fr fish?
A. Because fish remain partially awake. B. Because fish need shrt resting times.
C. Because fish pssess n cnsciusness. D. Because fish pretend nt t be sleeping.
26. What is a challenge faced by underwater mammals?
A. Hiding in sand. B. Riding the current.
C. Finding spts t rest. D. Breathing while sleeping.
27. Hw d manatees ensure their xygen supply during sleep?

Prfessr Lum seems t be under the spell f ChatGPT, but let's nt get carried away with the AI chatbt craze. While it des have sme benefits, his arguments are like a leaky bat in a strmy sea- full f hles.
Accrding t Prfessr Lum, ChatGPT ffers students a wealth f infrmatin. Sure, it's like having a walking encyclpedia （百科全书）, but learning is nt abut cpying an answer. It's abut the jurney f discvery. ChatGPT, armed with its vast database, denies students the pprtunity t explre and learn thrugh their wn effrts. It's like awarding a participatin medal fr a race that hasn't even begun!
He als claims that ChatGPT imprves cmmunicatin skills. Seriusly? Chatting with an AI is nt the same as having a real cnversatin. Hw can we expect students t handle the cmplexities f the real wrld if all they knw is hw t talk t a chatbt? Let's nt turn them int scially awkward bts themselves.
Oh, and let's nt frget abut critical thinking. Prfessr Lum thinks ChatGPT challenges students t think critically. But cme n, flks! It's merely a machine! It's nt ging t teach them hw t questin assumptins, analyze evidence, r cme up with innvative slutins. We need human interactin and lively debates fr that.
Lastly, Prfessr Lum believes ChatGPT can prvide supprt and guidance. Again, seriusly? Are we ging t replace human emtins with lines f cde （代码）？ ChatGPT might ffer sme cmfrting wrds, but it can't replace the warmth and understanding that can nly be fund in human interactin. Let us nt abandn ur students, leaving them t feel mre alne and discnnected than ever befre.
Prfessr Lum's pinin regarding ChatGPT warns us against t much reliance n technlgy. Rather than priritizing ChatGPT, the fcus shuld be n develping critical thinking, prmting genuine human interactin, and emphasizing the cre aspects f educatin.
28. What is cmpared t a participatin medal in paragraph 2?
A. A walking encyclpedia. B. A jurney t explre.
C. A vast database. D. An answer.
29. What can be inferred abut ChatGPT frm paragraphs 3~5?
A. It is nt gd at scializing. B. It is a skilled critical thinker.
C. It ffers nthing helpful t humans. D. It frms a warm bnd with humans.
30. What is the authr's attitude twards ChatGPT?
A. Ttally negative. B. Fully supprtive.
C. Highly skeptical. D. Quite indifferent.
31. What is the main purpse f the passage?
A. T criticize a viewpint. B. T questin an authrity.
C. T clarify tw arguments. D. T cmpare tw chatbts.

If there was an app n yur phne that claimed t imprve yur memry, wuld yu be willing t try it? It's hard t resist the idea f having a better memry. After all, ur memries are delicate and can be affected by varius factrs such as diseases, injuries, mental health cnditins, and aging.
In respnse t this perceived need, the brain training industry has grwn rapidly, ffering a wide range f accessible and affrdable mental exercises thrugh smartphne and tablet apps. Many researchers have fund evidence suggesting that well-designed exercises can imprve mental abilities and even lead t better scres n IQ tests. They cmpare the brain t muscles, suggesting that targeted repetitin f memry exercises can strengthen and cnditin ur memry prcesses, similar t hw athletes engage in strength and cnditining by repeatedly exercising specific muscle grups.
In cntrast t everyday activities like reading a detailed article r slving a cmplex puzzle, memry training apps are specifically designed t prvide a mre challenging wrkut fr the brain. These apps typically invlve tasks that require. tracking a large number f bjects while being distracted by a secndary task, such as mental calculatins r explring a game's landscape. If this brain training prves effective, it culd be beneficial fr individuals with brain-related disabilities r thse recvering frm cnditins like cancer.
Critics, thugh, argue that while the cncept is appealing, the verall evidence fails t demnstrate significant imprvement in cre brain prcesses. Additinally, despite the claims made by many apps and brain training cmpanies, scientists have yet t identify the key factrs that make an interventin truly effective r determine the best appraches t address the diverse needs f individuals seeking help.
While the questin is still pen t debate, there is evidence suggesting that shrt-term wrking memry training can benefit high-functining individuals, such as cllege students. Hwever, it's imprtant t nte that brain training, like diet and exercise, is unlikely t have identical effects n every individual.
32. In what way is the brain similar t muscles accrding t many researchers?
A. In testing results. B. In wrk prcesses.
C. In bdily functins. D. In training methds.
33. What is the main feature f the typical tasks in memry training apps?
A. Detailed. B. Effective. C. Demanding. D. Cmplicated.
34. What d critics think memry training apps lack?
A. Legal claims. B. Prven effects. C. Tailred services. D. Appealing cncepts.
35. What can be a suitable title fr the text?
A. Can ur memry be imprved?
B. Des brain training actually wrk?
C. What have scientists fund abut memry?
D. What des the brain training industry bring?
