A big problem for animals in the wild is keeping thei enemies away while they sleep. Animals take care of this problem in different ways. Anolis lizards live in many areas including topical rainforests. They often slep on leaves at the end of long branches. A leaf might seem like a strange bed, but it works like an alarm. If a hungry snake wiggles a branch, the lizard wakes up and leaps to safety. Chimpanzees take their sleep very seriously. Each day, a chimpanzee builds itself a new comfortable bed to sleep in. Scientists believe chimpanzees carefully choose a tree that is strong, where they build a nest using branches and leaves. Parrotfish live among coral reefs in oceans. Every night, parotfish usually sep close to the rock in sheltered places. Some parrotfish go one step further by quickly making a slime layer that covers their whole body. This covering acts like a sleeping bag that provides a barrier against danger. Bottle-nosed dolphins need to sleep, but they have to be on the ocean's surface to breathe. They also need to watch over their young. What do they do? While half of the dolphin's brain sleeps, the other half stays awake. After a while, the sleeping half wakes up while the other half snoozes. Sooty terns have the most amazing sleep. They nest on islands. When they are not nesting, they live for many years in the sky and on the sea's surface. When and where can they sleep? Scientists believe they are able to sleep while they are flying, staying out of the reach of enemies. 21. Which animals need the most preparation before sleep? A. Anolis lizards. B. Chimpanzees. C. Parrotfish. D. Sooty terns. 22. What is the shared concern when wild animals sleep? A. Quietness. B. Time length. C. Comfort. D. Safety. 23. The passage is probably taken from a ________________. A. biography B. tourist brochure C. science fiction D. popular science magazine B My philosophy professor was a typical eccentric philosopher, whose behavior was somewhat odd. His disheveled（蓬乱的）appearance was highlighted by a well-worn tweed sport coat and poor-fitting thick glasses, which often rested on the tip of his nose. Every now and then, as most philosophy professors do, he would go off on one of those existential "what's the meaning of life"discussions. Many of those discussions went nowhere, but there were a few that really hit home. This was one of them: "Respond to the following questions by a show of hands, "my professor instructed. "How many of you can tell me something about your parents?" Everyone's hand went up. "How many of you can tell me something about your grandparents?" About three-fourths of the class raised their hands. "How many of you can tell me something about your great-grandparents?" Two out of sixty students raised their hands. "Look around the room, "he said. "In just two short generations hardly any of us even know who our own great-grandparents were. Oh sure, maybe we have an old photograph tucked （收 藏）away in a musty cigar box or know the classic family story about how one of them walked five miles to school barefoot .But how many of us really know who they were, what they thought, what they were proud of what they were afraid of, or what they dreamed about? Think about that. Within three generations our ancestors are all but forgotten. Will this happen to you?" "Here's a better question. Look ahead three generations. You are long gone. Instead of you sitting in this room, now it's your great-grandchildren. What will they have to say about you? Will they know about you? Or will you be forgotten, too?" "Is your life going to be a warning or an example? What legacy（遗产）will you leave? The choice is yours. Class dismissed. " Nobody rose from their seats for a good five minutes. 24. Which of the following can best describe the professor? A. Untidy but considerate. B. Strange but thoughtful. C. Fashionable and helpful. D. Neat and responsible. 25. Why does the professor mention "photograph" and "family story" in Paragraph 6? A. To share his own interesting stories. B. To suggest new ways to know the ancestors. C. To prove they are good ways to know the ancestors. D. To show people's understanding of the ancestors are shallow. 26. What can we know about this philosophy class? A. It aroused our thinking about life. B. It went nowhere like the previous ones. C. The professor was unsatisfied with our answers. D. The professor offered us his answers to the questions. 27. What is the best title of the passage? B. A lesson about legacy. A. Our philosophy professor. C. Our memorable ancestors. D. A gap among three generations. C IQ is often considered as an important driving factor of success particularly in fields such as science, innovation and technology. In fact many people have endless fascination with the IQ scores of famous people. But the truth i
