24、

All animals need sleep. Some sleep a little. Others sleep a lot. Some sleep in surprising ways. Keep reading to learn more about how animals get their zzzz’s.

Some animals are light sleepers. Giraffes sleep for just a few hours each day. For giraffes, it is not safe to sleep much more than that. Giraffes have long, thin legs. When they lie down, it is hard to get back up. So giraffes mostly take short naps. They sleep standing up. Horses sleep standing up, too. Like giraffes, they need to be ready to run away. Horses do need to lie down for some of their sleep, though. Giraffes do, too. The animals get about 20 or 30 minutes of deep sleep while lying down.

Some animals are big sleepers. Koalas live in Australia. These animals eat only one food: leaves. Leaves do not give them much energy. So koalas sleep most of the time. They sleep for about 20 hours in total. Lions sleep a lot, too. They can feel safe while sleeping. After all, they are predators, which hunt other animals. Who would bother (打扰) a sleeping lion?

Dolphins are always swimming in the sea. So how do they sleep? If they stop swimming, will they drown (淹死)? Dolphins have a great trick for this. They sleep with half of their brains at a time, the other half stays awake. The sides switch (转换) after 20 minutes. Some birds sleep this way, too. They use half of their brains to fly, the other half goes to sleep. After the birds land, they sleep much more.

【1】“light sleepers” in the second paragraph refers to animals that ________.

A．sleep much

B．sleep a little

C．sleep with half brain

D．sleep without lying down

【2】Why do horses sleep standing up?

A．Because they are short of energy.

B．Because they can’t lie down.

C．Because they need to stay safe.

D．Because they sleep with half brains.

【3】What does the underlined word “predators” probably mean in Chinese?

A．捕食者

B．掠夺者

C．贪睡者

D．受害者

【4】Which animals are half sleepers?

A．Koalas.

B．Giraffes.

C．Lions.

D．Dolphins.

【5】Which is the best title for the passage?

B．All animals need lots of sleep.

C．Animals sleep in different ways.

D．Animals rest well while sleeping.

25、   Robots are increasingly being developed to think and act like humans. But it is difficult for engineers to create humor (幽默) in machines. Computer scientists have hoped to help them understand humor. But they failed again and again. Why is it so difficult?

Kiki, a computer language expert (专家), studies humor at a university. “Most robots are powered by artificial intelligence (人工智能AI). But AI will never understand jokes like humans do.” He said, “The main problem is that AI system doesn’t have the sense of humor.”

Other experts agree that context (语境) is very important to understand humor, both for humans and robots. In one project, Tristan Miller, a computer scientist, studied more than 10, 000 puns. Puns are a kind of joke that uses a word with two meanings. For example, you could say, “Balloons (气球) do not like pop music.” The word “pop” can be a way of saying popular music, or “pop” can be the sound a balloon makes when it explodes (爆炸). “A robot might not understand the joke because it doesn’t know the meaning of the puns.” Miller said.

Although it’s difficult, some scientists say there are good reasons to keep trying to teach humor to robots. It can make machines understand humans better and serve humans better. And it can also help them to think more like humans.

But other scientists don’t think it’s a good idea to teach humor to robots. They may find humor, but they may use it in a wrong way. Maybe bad AI will start killing people because it thinks it is funny. Besides, it may make some people feel not safe. The comedians (喜剧演员) may lose their jobs when the robots can understand humor.

【1】Kiki is an expert who studies ______ at a university.

A. humans B. humor C. AI system D. robots

【2】What does the underlined word "pun" mean in Paragraph 3?

A. 语言 B. 笑话 C. 双关语 D. 同义词

【3】From the passage, we know that ______.

A. AI system has the sense of humor

B. context is very important to understand humor only for humans

C. if robots understand humor, they can’t serve humans better

D. some scientist think it’s good to teach robots humor but others don’t
