Unit 3 Under the sea Ⅰ.阅读理解 A (2017·四川成都诊断)From sleeping standing up to shutting down half of their brain，animals have some strange sleeping habits. Now some of these unusual habits, from napping giraffes to birds that sleep while flying, have been shown in a chart. This chart shows that little brown bats are very lethargic,_sleeping for around 19.5 hours per day. This long period of sleep is thought to be a way of conserving energy and it means brown bats only hunt for a few hours each night when their insect food is available. In contrast, giraffes can go weeks without sleep because these large and slow-moving animals are constantly easy to the attacks from predators. However, other animals are experts at multitasking and can swim or fly while sleeping. For example, dolphins and whales sleep while keeping half of their brain alert (警觉), so they dont drown, with dolphins typically napping for around 10 hours a day.The method is known as “logging” and it has been observed in bottlenose dolphins, which keep half of their brain at a low level of alertness. This allows the dolphin to keep enough consciousness to carry on breathing through its blowhole. While sea otters arent alert while they sleep, they form rafts so they are not separated from each other. The creatures sometimes hold hands or paws when they sleep and typically eat, sleep and rest while floating in groups of rafts. 1．The underlined word “lethargic” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ________.
