34．最后两段的主题是针对 WiFi 断连提供的解决方法。空白后句“It is workable to stop gaming or downloading
a movie.(停止游戏或下载电影是可行的)”中提到的行为正对应 E 选项“暂时减少过度使用 WiFi 的项目也会 有所帮助”中的 heavy WiFi use ，前后衔接紧密。故选 E 项。
35．空白句置于段首，浏览本段，并由“contact your internet provider about upgrading to a higher speed(联系 你的网络供应商，咨询更新升级到更高网速的事宜)”推知，该段给出的方法是升级网络从而提高网速，C 选项“最后，你可能需要更新你的连通性”符合本段主题。故选 C 项。
