Great Apps For Learning A New Language
You might be surprised at how much you can gain from the apps on your phones. Here we’ve chosen four apps that can act as personal language tutors.
Duolingo
The app boasts a simple learning system and easy progress tracking. Plus, it makes all these educational features available for free. If you want an ad-free experience and other extras, you can pay for Duolingo Plus. The app encourages you to keep going, even if it’s just for a few minutes each day. The exercises are interesting, switching between different types of practice in order to test your reading, listening, and speaking as you progress.
Rosetta Stone
This app especially suits people who have time to si t down and dedicate blocks of time to language learning. We like this app’s clever and intuitive (易懂的) use of flashcards, as well is its pronunciation training exercises.
Memrise
With a colorful, friendly interface (界面) and a gentle learning curve (曲线). Memrise is perfect for those who want to learn the basics of a language. And as a little confidence booster, Memrise displays summary screens at the end of each exercise, tracking your progress to fluency.
Babbel
Babbel provides a mix of conversational topics that teach you how to use the language in real-life situations. Its combination of repetition and variety has been carefully adjusted, However, the app’s interface isn’t quite as polished as some of the other options. This app gives you the added bonus of a pronunciation trainer. But you can’t get far without paying it a fee.
1. What is one of the advantages of Duolingo
A. It contains no advertisements. B. It can be free of charge.
C. It provides repeated practices. D. It improves learners’ handwriting.
2. Which app best suits language beginners
A. Duolingo. B. Rosetta Stone. C. Bubbel D. Memrise.
3. What do we know about Babbel
A. It focuses on oral languages. B. It has a friendly user interface.
C. It values writing ability. D. It is friendly to users’ wallets.
【答案】1. B 2. D 3. A

推理判断题。根据Babbel部分中“Babbel provides a mix of conversational topics that teach you how to use the language in real-life situations. Babbel提供了一系列的会话话题,教你如何在现实生活中使用这门语言)” 可知,Babbel教你如何在现实生活中使用这门语言,故它是专注于口语,故选A。
B
Lillian, 17, had just started working as a lifesaver at a beach in Australia on New Year’s Eve when beach-goers started to point and shout at the water. The workers quickly examined the situation and saw that a kangaroo had jumped out of the bushes (灌木丛) — straight into the sea.
The animal seemed confused by the fishermen standing on the rocks. So instead of turning back and heading back into the bushes, it jumped right into the water! The poor thing bobbed(摆动)around in the waves and went underwater several times before Lillian decided to take action.
As with any other animal rescue, it’s important to approach the situation with prudence. Wild animals that are stressed can become dangerous to their rescuers, and Lillian was aware of the risks as she took her rescue board and hit the water at a run. “It just didn’t want to come on to the beach because it was kind of scared,” she said. “I was trying to figure out how to get it on the board. But considering that it’s a wild animal, even though I was helping, I wouldn’t want to be hurt by it or make it more stressed out.”
As beach-goers recorded the rescue on their phones,Lillian paddled (用浆划船) behind the animal carefully and guided the kangaroo onto the beach. As soon as Lillian’s feet touched the sand, the beach erupted in cheers for her!“It was quite special. As people there were cheering and clapping, the kangaroo was just sitting there up in the bushes staring at me, as if it was conveying something with its shining eyes,” Lillian said. “I didn’t think that was going to ever be my first rescue, I may have more rescues in the future, but none would be as memorable as this one.”
4. What happened to the kangaroo
A. It jumped off the rocks by mistake,
B. It jumped into the sea by accident,
C. It was forced to leave the bushes.
D. It was washed away into the sea.
5. What does the underlined word “prudence” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Inspiration. B. Hope. C. Care. D. Shock.
6. How did the kangaroo react to its rescuer
A. It couldn’t wait to leave her.
B. It was worried about her safety.
C. It was confused about her action.
D. It seemed grateful for her help.
7. Which of the followings can best describe Lillian
A. Far-sighted and independent. B. Talented and positive.
C. Brave and cautious. D. Determined and ambitious.
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述Lillian水中救袋鼠的故事。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第二段“The animal seemed confused by the fishermen standing on the rocks. So instead of turning back and heading back into the bushes, it jumped right into the water! (站在岩石上的渔民似乎把这只动物弄糊涂了。因此,它没有转身返回灌木丛,而是直接跳入水中!)”可知,袋鼠跳进了海里。故选B项。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。由第三段后文“Wild animals that are stressed can become dangerous to their rescuers, and Lillian was aware of the risks as she took her rescue board and hit the water at a run.(承受压力的野生动物可能会对救援人员造成危险,Lillian意识到了风险,她拿起救援板,在水中奔跑。)”可知,救受惊野生动物很危险,所以救生员应该是“小心”地接近它们。所以猜测prudence是“小心”的意思。故选C项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。由第四段“It was quite special. As people there were cheering and clapping, the kangaroo was just sitting there up in the bushes staring at me, as if it was conveying something with its shining eyes,(这很特别。当那里的人们欢呼和鼓掌时,袋鼠就坐在灌木丛中凝视着我,好像它在用闪亮的眼睛传递着什么,)”可以推测,袋鼠应该是看起来很感激被救的。故选D项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第三段“Wild animals that are stressed can become dangerous to their rescuers, and Lillian was aware of the risks as she took her rescue board and hit the water at a run.(承受压力的野生动物可能会对救援人员造成危险,Lillian意识到了风险,她拿起救援板,在水中奔跑。)”以及第四段“As beach-goers recorded the rescue on their phones,Lillian paddled(用浆划船)behind the animal carefully and guided the kangaroo onto the beach.(当海滩游客用手机记录救援情况时,莉莲小心翼翼地在动物身后划水,并将袋鼠引导到海滩上。)”以及上下文可知,Lillian是很勇敢和小心的。故选C项。
C
Today, many people spend a lot of time reading online, whether reading news, social media, or e-books. While online reading opens up a lot of knowledge to people, there are some drawbacks, too. These include eyestrain, headaches, as well as difficulty in even finishing reading the text. Now a new reading plugin (插件) has been intended to help people overcome these problems and read faster online.
The reading plugin called Bionic Reading, which was developed by Swiss designer Renato Casutt, was created with the belief that your brain can read faster than your eyes. The plugin makes the first few letters of each word in bold (粗体), which actually allows your eyes to skip over parts of the text and your brain to fill in what is missing. Incredibly, reading like this feels like finally unlocking 100 percent of people’s brain.
Casutt came up with the plugin by accident. He was reading a book in a foreign language and realized he could read it faster and well master it if he separated it into parts. He has worked for six years to develop Bionic Reading and is still working to perfect it. Many people who want to strengthen their reading ability show interest in it, but more research is needed before it can be definitively shown that the system improves reading ability. But people with dyslexia (诵读障碍) have confirmed that Bionic Reading did help them focus on what they are reading.
Casutt’s goal is to integrate the plugin into all reading apps and online services. “In a digital world dominated (支配) by shallow forms of reading, Bionic Reading aims to encourage a more in-depth reading and understanding of written content,” he said. Bionic Reading is available in several apps like Fiery Feeds, Lire, and Next App. The best way to know if it helps you read better online is to try it yourself and find out what it is all about.
8. How does Bionic Reading work
A. Users can read faster with less thinking.
B. Users keep their brains much less active.
C. Users keep an eye on part of the whole text.
D. Users guess the meanings of some key words.
9. What benefit does Bionic Reading bring to people with dyslexia
A. Selecting suitable reading contents.
B. Keeping up with reading contents.
C. Limiting reading time.
D. Reducing stress from reading.
10. What can we learn about Bionic Reading
A. It has not been put into use so far.
B. It has already been fully developed.
C. It leaves users a further reading and thinking.
D. It helps users skip the new words in reading.
11. Which is the most suitable title for the text
A. New Pioneering Plugin Improves Online Reading
B. Online Reading Is Sure To Perfect People’s Brain
C. Spending Time On Online Reading Is Worthwhile
D. New Pioneering Plugin Still Needs To Be Improved
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。Casutt发明了一种新插件,它可以帮人们克服在线阅读时眼睛疲劳,头痛等问题,并能提高在线阅读速度。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的句子“The plugin makes the first few letters of each word in bold (粗体), which actually allows your eyes to skip over parts of the text and your brain to fill in what is missing.(该插件将每个单词的前几个字母加粗,这实际上可以让你的眼睛跳过部分文本,让你的大脑填补缺失的部分)”可知,通过使用该插件阅读,用户的眼睛会跳过部分文本,也就是只关注部分内容。故选C项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的最后一句话“But people with dyslexia (诵读障碍) have confirmed that Bionic Reading did help them focus on what they are reading.(但有阅读障碍的人已经证实,Bionic Reading确实帮助他们专注于阅读内容)”可知,对于有阅读障碍的人来说,Bionic Reading能帮助他们专注于阅读内容。故选B项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段Casutt所说的“In a digital world dominated (支配) by shallow forms of reading, Bionic Reading aims to encourage a more in-depth reading and understanding of written content.(在一个被肤浅阅读形式主导的数字世界中,Bionic Reading旨在鼓励对书面内容进行更深入的阅读和理解)”可知,Bionic Reading可以让用户进行更深入的阅读和思考。故选C项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“While online reading opens up a lot of knowledge to people, there are some drawbacks, too. These include eyestrain, headaches, as well as difficulty in even finishing reading the text. Now a new reading plugin (插件) has been intended to help people overcome these problems and read faster online.(虽然在线阅读为人们打开了很多知识,但也有一些缺点。这些症状包括眼睛疲劳,头痛,甚至很难读完文章。现在,一个新的阅读插件旨在帮助人们克服这些问题,提高在线阅读速度)”及下文对插件的介绍可知,文章主要介绍了一种新插件,它可以帮人们克服在线阅读时眼睛疲劳,头痛等问题,并能提高在线阅读速度。由此可知,A项“New Pioneering Plugin Improves Online Reading(新的先锋插件改进了在线阅读)”适合作为本文标题。故选A项。
D
A new study discovers that sharks do sleep, and they often sleep with their eyes open. Since some sharks have to swim constantly to keep oxygen-rich water flowing over their gills (鱼鳃), people have long thought that they don’t sleep at all.
Researchers from Australia have now recorded a species of shark sleeping for the first time, finishing the long-standing debate about whether sharks sleep. To see if sharks were in fact asleep, the team analyzed the metabolism (新陈代谢) and pose of seven draughtsboard sharks (猫鲨) over 24 hours. When the sharks were resting for five minutes or longer, their oxygen consumption dropped, which suggested the animals were sleeping. And the researchers also noticed that the sharks changed their posture by lying flat and closer to the ground.
The sharks sometimes slept with their eyes shut as well, though, mostly during the day. At night, they tended to keep their eyes open more often, leading researchers to suspect that the sharks’ eye closure might have more to do with light than the sleep state itself. “Not only are sleeping sharks less responsive to their surroundings, but they also have lower metabolic rate,” said Michael Kelly, an ecophysiologist at La Trobe University.
“Sharks are an important group as they are the oldest living jawed vertebrates (颌类脊椎动物) — a character they share with us,” Michael Kelly said. “Sharks have been swimming in the sea for over 400 million years and have evolved very little in that time. Understanding how and why these animals sleep will provide important understanding into the function of sleep and how the animal has evolved over time.”
The team points out that more research will be needed to see if other species sleep like the draughtsboard sharks. Next they plan to continue to analyze the sharks’ brain activity while they sleep, to learn more about their waking and resting states.
12. What is the previous misunderstanding about sharks
A. They sleep with their eyes closed.
B. They breathe in flowing water.
C. They swim frequently at night.
D. They always stay awake.
13. What do researchers find about draughtsboard sharks
A. They need to rest every five minutes in the sea.
B. They consume much less oxygen during the day.
C. They have the same pose when awake and when asleep.
D. They might close their eyes not to sleep but to avoid light.
14. What does paragraph 4 talk about
A. The process of the research.
B. The negation of the research.
C The significance of the research.
D. The introduction of the researchers.
15. What do the researchers think of their research in the last paragraph
A. Insufficient. B. Unrealistic. C. Meaningless. D. Inefficient.
【答案】12. D 13. D 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项研究,发现鲨鱼会睡觉,而且它们经常睁着眼睛睡觉。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Since some sharks have to swim constantly to keep oxygen-rich water flowing over their gills (鱼鳃), people have long thought that they don’t sleep at all. (由于一些鲨鱼必须不停地游泳,以保持富含氧气的水流过它们的鳃,人们一直认为它们根本不睡觉)”可知,之前的误解是鲨鱼总是保持清醒,不睡觉。故选D项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“The sharks sometimes slept with their eyes shut as well, though, mostly during the day. At night, they tended to keep their eyes open more often, leading researchers to suspect that the sharks’ eye closure might have more to do with light than the sleep state itself. (不过,鲨鱼有时也会闭着眼睛睡觉,大部分是在白天。在晚上,它们往往会更频繁地睁开眼睛,这使得研究人员怀疑鲨鱼闭上眼睛可能更多地与光线有关,而不是睡眠状态本身)”可知,研究人员发现猫鲨闭上眼睛可能不是为了睡觉,而是为了避光。故选D项。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段中“Understanding how and why these animals sleep will provide important understanding into the function of sleep and how the animal has evolved over time. (了解这些动物如何以及为什么睡觉,将为了解睡眠的功能以及动物如何随着时间的推移而进化提供重要的帮助)”可知,本段主要讲了这项研究的意义。故选C项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The team points out that more research will be needed to see if other species sleep like the draughtsboard sharks. (研究小组指出,还需要更多的研究来看看其他物种是否像猫鲨那样睡觉)”可知,他们认为这项研究尚有不足。故选A项。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,文章主要介绍了为什么要进行职业规划。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:职业规划很重要,因为它可以为你的未来提供一个路线图,帮助你对你的职业目标做出明智的选择。动词help的逻辑主语是前面的句子,两者之间是主谓关系,应用现在分词作结果状语,故填helping。
【42题详解】
考查介词。句意:没有人会帮你发展你的事业,成功的事业也不是偶然发生的。by chance偶然,固定短语,故填by。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:有了合适的职业规划,你将更有可能朝着正确的方向迈出一步。be likely to do sth可能做某事,故填to take。
【44题详解】
考查状语从句的省略。句意:当事情没有按计划进行时,你也不太可能责怪外部力量。此处是as引导的状语从句的省略,主语是things,和动词plan是被动关系,句子是一般现在时,故完整形式是as they are planned,状语从句的主语和前面的句子主语一致,且状语从句含有be动词,可以省略主语和be动词,故填planned。
【45题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意:如果你现在不知道怎么走,你可能会迷路或走错地方。结合句意可知,此处指“如果你现在不知道怎么走”,用连接副词how引导宾语从句,故填how。
【46题详解】
考查副词。句意:同样,如果你心中没有一个明确的目标,当机会出现时,你就很难获得充分利用机会的信心。空处作状语修饰整个句子,应用副词形式,similarly同样地,类似地,副词,首字母应大写,故填Similarly。
【47题详解】
考查名词。句意同上。空处应填名词作动词gain的宾语,confidence信心,不可数名词,故填confidence。
【48题详解】
考查形容词。句意:例如,如果你想成为一名团队经理,但没有实现这一目标的计划,你可能没有准备好与他人竞争这份工作,因此,反过来,可能会令人沮丧。空处应填形容词作表语,prepared准备好的,形容词,故填prepared。
【49题详解】
考查副词。句意同上。结合句意可知,空前后是因果关系,空后表示结果,作状语,此处应用副词therefore“因此,所以”,故填therefore。
【50题详解】
考查冠词。句意:因此,你需要一个计划,让你在日常工作生活中有一种目标感。sense是可数名词,此处表示泛指,应用不定冠词,a sense of purpose一种目标感,故填a。

【答案】1. mostly→ most
2. whom→ who
3. works→ work
4. tried→ tries
5.去掉to
6. to→ with
7. 去掉and
8. it→ them
9. the→ an
10. respected前加上is
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述的是作者非常尊敬自己的父亲,并描述了父亲身上的闪光点。
【详解】1. 考查副词。句意:就我而言,我的父亲是我最尊敬的人。副词修饰动词“respect”,表示“最……”,用most;mostly表示“主要地”。根据句意,此处意为“最尊重……”。故将mostly改为most。
2. 考查定语从句。句意:我的父亲是一名老师,他非常热爱他的工作和学生。这里为非限制性定语从句的关系词,先行词为“a teacher”,在非限制性定语从句中担当主语,用who。故将whom改为who。
3. 考查名词的数。句意:我的父亲是一名老师,他非常热爱他的工作和学生。名词“work”意为“工作”时,为不可数名词。故将works改为work。
4. 考查时态。句意:他每天都在努力提高自己。这里为本句谓语动词,根据“every day”可知,本句时态为一般现在时,主语是He,谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。故将tried改为tries。
5. 考查介词。句意:他也会抽出时间陪我,和我分享很多关于他工作的趣事。短语:spare time doing sth, 意为“抽出时间做某事”。故将to去掉。
6. 考查固定搭配。句意:他也会抽出时间陪我,和我分享很多关于他工作的趣事。固定搭配:share…with…,意为“和某人分享……”。故将to改为with。
7. 考查句式。句意:当我在学习中遇到一些问题时,我的父亲会耐心地听我说,鼓励我勇敢地克服它们。分析句子成分可知,“when”引导的为时间状语从句,逗号后为主句,不用and连接。故将and去掉。
8. 考查代词。句意:当我在学习中遇到一些问题时,我的父亲会耐心地听我说,鼓励我勇敢地克服它们。分析句意可知,此处的代词代指的是上文提到的“problems”,用them而不是it。故将it改为them。
9. 考查冠词。句意:他在工作中享有很高的声誉,深受学生们的尊敬。短语:an amount of,意为“大量的……”。故将the改为an。
10. 考查语态。句意:他在工作中享有很高的声誉,深受学生们的尊敬。这里为并列谓语,主语为“he”,单数,和动词“respect”之间为被动关系,所以用被动语态。故在respected前加is。

Great Apps For Learning A New Language
You might be surprised at how much you can gain from the apps on your phones. Here we’ve chosen four apps that can act as personal language tutors.
Duolingo
The app boasts a simple learning system and easy progress tracking. Plus, it makes all these educational features available for free. If you want an ad-free experience and other extras, you can pay for Duolingo Plus. The app encourages you to keep going, even if it’s just for a few minutes each day. The exercises are interesting, switching between different types of practice in order to test your reading, listening, and speaking as you progress.
Rosetta Stone
This app especially suits people who have time to si t down and dedicate blocks of time to language learning. We like this app’s clever and intuitive (易懂的) use of flashcards, as well is its pronunciation training exercises.
Memrise
With a colorful, friendly interface (界面) and a gentle learning curve (曲线). Memrise is perfect for those who want to learn the basics of a language. And as a little confidence booster, Memrise displays summary screens at the end of each exercise, tracking your progress to fluency.
Babbel
Babbel provides a mix of conversational topics that teach you how to use the language in real-life situations. Its combination of repetition and variety has been carefully adjusted, However, the app’s interface isn’t quite as polished as some of the other options. This app gives you the added bonus of a pronunciation trainer. But you can’t get far without paying it a fee.
1. What is one of the advantages of Duolingo
A. It contains no advertisements. B. It can be free of charge.
C. It provides repeated practices. D. It improves learners’ handwriting.
2. Which app best suits language beginners

3. What do we know about Babbel
A. It focuses on oral languages. B. It has a friendly user interface.
C. It values writing ability. D. It is friendly to users’ wallets.

Lillian, 17, had just started working as a lifesaver at a beach in Australia on New Year’s Eve when beach-goers started to point and shout at the water. The workers quickly examined the situation and saw that a kangaroo had jumped out of the bushes (灌木丛) — straight into the sea.
The animal seemed confused by the fishermen standing on the rocks. So instead of turning back and heading back into the bushes, it jumped right into the water! The poor thing bobbed(摆动)around in the waves and went underwater several times before Lillian decided to take action.
As with any other animal rescue, it’s important to approach the situation with prudence. Wild animals that are stressed can become dangerous to their rescuers, and Lillian was aware of the risks as she took her rescue board and hit the water at a run. “It just didn’t want to come on to the beach because it was kind of scared,” she said. “I was trying to figure out how to get it on the board. But considering that it’s a wild animal, even though I was helping, I wouldn’t want to be hurt by it or make it more stressed out.”
As beach-goers recorded the rescue on their phones,Lillian paddled (用浆划船) behind the animal carefully and guided the kangaroo onto the beach. As soon as Lillian’s feet touched the sand, the beach erupted in cheers for her!“It was quite special. As people there were cheering and clapping, the kangaroo was just sitting there up in the bushes staring at me, as if it was conveying something with its shining eyes,” Lillian said. “I didn’t think that was going to ever be my first rescue, I may have more rescues in the future, but none would be as memorable as this one.”
4. What happened to the kangaroo
A. It jumped off the rocks by mistake,
B. It jumped into the sea by accident,
C It was forced to leave the bushes.
D. It was washed away into the sea.
5. What does the underlined word “prudence” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Inspiration. B. Hope. C. Care. D. Shock.
6. How did the kangaroo react to its rescuer
A. It couldn’t wait to leave her.
B. It was worried about her safety.
C. It was confused about her action.
D. It seemed grateful for her help.
7. Which of the followings can best describe Lillian
A. Far-sighted and independent. B. Talented and positive.
C. Brave and cautious. D. Determined and ambitious.
C
Today, many people spend a lot of time reading online, whether reading news, social media, or e-books. While online reading opens up a lot of knowledge to people, there are some drawbacks, too. These include eyestrain, headaches, as well as difficulty in even finishing reading the text. Now a new reading plugin (插件) has been intended to help people overcome these problems and read faster online.
The reading plugin called Bionic Reading, which was developed by Swiss designer Renato Casutt, was created with the belief that your brain can read faster than your eyes. The plugin makes the first few letters of each word in bold (粗体), which actually allows your eyes to skip over parts of the text and your brain to fill in what is missing. Incredibly, reading like this feels like finally unlocking 100 percent of people’s brain.
Casutt came up with the plugin by accident. He was reading a book in a foreign language and realized he could read it faster and well master it if he separated it into parts. He has worked for six years to develop Bionic Reading and is still working to perfect it. Many people who want to strengthen their reading ability show interest in it, but more research is needed before it can be definitively shown that the system improves reading ability. But people with dyslexia (诵读障碍) have confirmed that Bionic Reading did help them focus on what they are reading.
Casutt’s goal is to integrate the plugin into all reading apps and online services. “In a digital world dominated (支配) by shallow forms of reading, Bionic Reading aims to encourage a more in-depth reading and understanding of written content,” he said. Bionic Reading is available in several apps like Fiery Feeds, Lire, and Next App. The best way to know if it helps you read better online is to try it yourself and find out what it is all about.
8. How does Bionic Reading work
A. Users can read faster with less thinking.
B Users keep their brains much less active.
C. Users keep an eye on part of the whole text.
D. Users guess the meanings of some key words.
9 What benefit does Bionic Reading bring to people with dyslexia
A. Selecting suitable reading contents.
B. Keeping up with reading contents.
C. Limiting reading time.
D. Reducing stress from reading.
10. What can we learn about Bionic Reading
A. It has not been put into use so far.
B. It has already been fully developed.
C. It leaves users a further reading and thinking.
D. It helps users skip the new words in reading.
11. Which is the most suitable title for the text

A new study discovers that sharks do sleep, and they often sleep with their eyes open. Since some sharks have to swim constantly to keep oxygen-rich water flowing over their gills (鱼鳃), people have long thought that they don’t sleep at all.
Researchers from Australia have now recorded a species of shark sleeping for the first time, finishing the long-standing debate about whether sharks sleep. To see if sharks were in fact asleep, the team analyzed the metabolism (新陈代谢) and pose of seven draughtsboard sharks (猫鲨) over 24 hours. When the sharks were resting for five minutes or longer, their oxygen consumption dropped, which suggested the animals were sleeping. And the researchers also noticed that the sharks changed their posture by lying flat and closer to the ground.
The sharks sometimes slept with their eyes shut as well, though, mostly during the day. At night, they tended to keep their eyes open more often, leading researchers to suspect that the sharks’ eye closure might have more to do with light than the sleep state itself. “Not only are sleeping sharks less responsive to their surroundings, but they also have lower metabolic rate,” said Michael Kelly, an ecophysiologist at La Trobe University.
“Sharks are an important group as they are the oldest living jawed vertebrates (颌类脊椎动物) — a character they share with us,” Michael Kelly said. “Sharks have been swimming in the sea for over 400 million years and have evolved very little in that time. Understanding how and why these animals sleep will provide important understanding into the function of sleep and how the animal has evolved over time.”
The team points out that more research will be needed to see if other species sleep like the draughtsboard sharks. Next they plan to continue to analyze the sharks’ brain activity while they sleep, to learn more about their waking and resting states.
