There can be no doubt that Stephen King, New York Times’ best-selling author, has found success in many aspects, but it wasn’t always like this, King witnessed tragedy and horrors from the very beginning. When he was 2 years old, his father told his mom that he was going out to get cigarettes but in fact, he never came back, he had abandoned his family.
This left his mother Ruth to care for Stephen and his elder brother David on her own. Ruth was forced to move often, desperately looking for work as she was now the only provider of the family, and she had to rely on relatives most of the time. One day Stephen went out to play with friends and when he came back, he wasn’t even able to speak a single word. It seemed he was hurt mentally or something, but he still got the courage to continue forward. It turned out that one of his friends was hit by a train and died, which left an emotional scar on him.
King, later on, dropped out of school due to some serious health concerns and was told that he had to enlist（入伍） again the next fall, which demotivated him too. Although Stephen King didn’t see his childhood as something extraordinary or special, he did say that he was always fascinated by scary things.
People used to acknowledge the King family by their love of literature. In fact, whenever Stephen’s mom had to go out, she didn’t hire a babysitter, for the kids used to read novels to each other so they would not get bored. Stephen King’s love of stories was developed from a very young age and he carried that tradition with his own children along with his wife Tabitha.
In 1973, Stephen King started his amazing journey of success when he published his first novel Carrie, which is scary. The rest followed from after that as he published many amazing books like The Shining, IT, Firestarter, and Cujo. All of these books became instant classics and got their own movie and television shows adaptions.
24. What is mainly talked about Stephen King in the first two paragraphs
A. His unfortunate childhood. B. His mother’s bitter experiences.
C. His difficulty in supporting the family. D. His achievements in writing.
25. What left Stephen King not even speaking a single word
A. He was knocked down by a passing train.
B. He was depressed by the constant moves.
C. He was heart struck by a terrible accident.
D. He was badly criticized by a close friend.
26. What does the underlined word “demotivated” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Inspired. B. Embarrassed. C. Relaxed. D. Discouraged.
27. Why didn’t Stephen’s mom hire a babysitter
A. The children could actually entertain themselves.
B. The family was too poor to hire a babysitter.
C. The family could not find a proper babysitter.
D. The children didn’t like to be cared for by others.

On December 16, 2023, the first section of Maya Train officially opened, which runs between Campeche and Cancún, carrying up to 231 passengers across 290 miles and stopping at 14 train stations.
Built as an ambitious effort to promote tourism and boost Mexico’s economy, the rail system connects the major cities and tourist regions of the Yucatán Peninsula — from Cancún’s beaches to Tulum’s archaeological wonders. Once the project is completed, the entire rail system will link tourist destinations across five states. However, environmentalists and archaeologists argue that the train route will cause great damage to the environment -- and ancient Mayan sites.
The Maya Train passes through six UNESCO World Heritage sites and thousands of archaeological sites. One particular area of concern is the Calakmul biosphere reserve, which is home to many endangered species, such as jaguars and over 500 other animal species. The train lines, more than 60 meters wide, could act as artificial barriers that may limit the movement of these animals within the reserve making it difficult for them to move around and access food and water sources.
Opponents also express safety concerns. Certain sections of the rail system will be built right on top of the aquifer’s（含水层的） most fragile points of contact with the surface. “It’s like wanting to build over eggshells,” says Guillermo Christy, a water treatment consultant. “Putting trains weighing thousands of tons on top could cause the underground caves to crash down.” To construct the train infrastructure also requires driving long piles deep into the ground, which poses a big threat to this fragile ecosystem and leads to water shortages.
In the ongoing debate of Maya Train, it is crucial to consider the delicate balance between economic development and environmental preservation. While Maya Train may provide economic benefits, we must not overlook the potential environmental and cultural losses, as well as the safety risks it may bring. Achieving harmony between progress and conservation may be a significant challenge for the project, but we must take into account the long-term consequences of our actions.
28. What do we know about the Maya Train project
A. It consumes lots of labor in Mexico.
B. It was completed on December 16,2023.
C. It has concerned some professionals.
D. It blocks the development of local tourism.
29. What effect do the train lines have on the animals in the reserve
A. Polluting their water sources.
B. Disturbing their sleeping patterns.
C. Attracting their enemies to the area.
D. Restricting their activities.
30. Why does the author mention “eggshells” in Paragraph 4
A. To show the difficulty of constructing the rail lines.
B. To stress Maya Train’s potential harm to the aquifer system.
C. To prove the urgency of protecting the fragile ecosystem.
D. To explain the reasons for water shortages along the railway.
31. Which statement would the author probably agree with
A. Economic development should not come at the cost of the environment.
B. Preserving cultural sites requires strong financial support.
C. It is time to speed up the construction process of Maya Train.
D. We should value the economic benefits of the project in the long run.
D
Zoologists studied the nervous systems of insects to investigate principles of biological brain computation and possible effects on machine learning and artificial intelligence. Specifically, they analysed how insects learn to associate sensory information in their environment with a food reward, and how they can recall this information later in order to solve complex tasks such as the search for food.
Living organisms show remarkable abilities in coping with problems posed by complex and dynamic environments. They are able to generalize their experiences in order to rapidly adap t their behaviour when the environment changes. The zoologists investigated how the nervous system of the fruit fly controls its behaviour when searching for food.
Using a computer model, they simulated and analysed the computations in the fruit fly’s nervous system in response to scents（气味） coming from the food source. They initially trained their model of the fly brain in exactly the same way as insects are trained in experiments. They presented a specific scent in the simulation together with a reward and a second scent without a reward.
“The model rapidly learns a strong representation of the rewarded scent after just a few scent presentations and is then able to find the source of this scent in a complex environment,” said computer scientist Dr Hannes Rapp, who created the model.
The model created is thus capable to generalize from its memory and to apply what it has learned previously in a completely new and complex environment, while learning required only a very small database of training samples.
The results suggest that the transformation of sensory information into memories in the brain can inspire future machine learning and artificial intelligence application s to solving complex tasks.
32. What is the ultimate aim of the research
A. To investigate principles of biological brain computation.
B. To solve problems in simulated complex environments.
C. To analyse how insects search for food in complex environment.
D. To promote machine learning and AI applications.
33. How did zoologists mainly carry out their research
A. By observing fruit flies. B. By performing lab experiments.
C. By using a computer model. D. By carrying out field research.
34. What is mainly discussed about the study in paragraphs 3-5
A. Its findings. B. Its process.
C. Its importance. D. Its application.
35. What does the result of this study imply
A. Artificial intelligence is applied to the study of insect brain.
B. Food reward is connected with information transformation.
C. Sensory information can be applied to solving complex tasks.
D. Studying living organisms can make a difference to AI research.

67.阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Almost every childhood memory I have is centered on food. Telling stories around a crowded table at holiday dinners , the smell of roasting vegetables, the sensation（感受） of heat coming from the kitchen, all picture a familiar feeling of love and comfort.
My favorite memory of all is of my grandparents making and baking bread together. To this day, I have never tasted bread that is as delicious as theirs. No other loaf has ever been made with that kind of powerful, unconditional love.
When our son Brian, one of seventh graders, began to refuse usual communication with me, I felt desperate. How I missed those lovely old days when he couldn’t wait to tell me his stories in kindergarten the moment I arrived home without getting changed! And there were also times when he brought loads of storybooks to me and demanded to be told all the stories before going to bed. But I didn’t know since when everything changed. There was hardly any sharing about his daily school life with friends or any trouble about his schoolwork. Most of the time, his bedroom door was closed. The cold silence between us seemed to warn me that love between us began to fade.
At that time, like most mothers, I couldn’t focus on work and couldn’t sleep well. Why did things go off track so much Was it because my work took away most of my energy that family love was taken for granted Was it because my only precious spare time went too much to my two-year-old baby daughter that Brian’s need for my company was ignored The more lreflected, the more I felt myself to blame and it was my responsibility to find a way out.
One day, as my eyes landed onto the bread on the kitchen table, I was reminded of those sweet childhood memories, “Could food help us make a change ” I wondered.

Dear Mr. Peterson,
It is a common phenomenon that modern high school students have stress. My pressure mainly comes from the pressure of study. Academic pressure is undoubtedly the main source of high school students’ psychological pressure. After entering high school, the study burden is increased, which is manifested as the increase of subjects, and the deepening of course. In my opinion, students should know themselves correctly and set a good position for themselves. Students shouldn’t exceed their upper limit level, nor give up on themselves, and have the spirit of “persistence is victory”.
Yours sincerely,

读后续写参考范文：
With an uneasy feeling, I decided to try. Just then it occurred to me that the other day Brian ever mentioned that he loved the fried rice that I cooked. I began preparing the cooking material. When he got home from school, Brian was greeted by delicious fried rice on the table and a note reading,“from your Mom who loves you forever” He was surprised and gave me a hug saying, “Thank you, Mom.” Although Brian still had his door closed every day, I was greeted by more broad smiles every time he came back from school.
More than that, one weekend evening, Brian offered to help me in the kitchen. When we were preparing his favorite fried rice together, Brian came to me and looked at me in the eyes saying, “Mom, although I made you unhappy, I love you in my deep heart just as I love fried rice.” I cried that night for nearly half an hour because I got my Brian back again.

Text 10 寓教于乐
W: Isidora Djuki c is a biology and chemistry student at John Carroll University. She never thought that one day she would be in a classroom where an English professor asked her to play a board game to learn about climate change.
Djuki c is taking a biology class called Climate Change: Global Impacts. At the same time, she is taking an English class called Environmental Literature. Her university requires students to take two connected classes that examine the same subject in different ways.
Debra Rosenthal is the English professor. At first, Djuki c said she was uncertain about Rosenthal’s board game idea. “I was just thinking the idea could be interesting. But how fun is this idea actually going to be Can we really learn about climate change just by playing a board game What specifically can we get from such a game ”
Rosenthal bought six copies of a game called “Solutions”. The goal is to pick cards and then add them to the game board in a way that helps reduce global temperatures. Students do not compete against each other. They work together and try to come up with a solution so that the planet is not destroyed. The game is different from some other board games such as “Monopoly”, where the goal is to win.
Students read materials and then discuss their ideas. In most classes, Rosenthal said, students laughed, disagreed and had to call for votes as a way to decide how to move forward in the game. Djukic said it was a way to have fun while also learning about such a serious subject.

There can be no doubt that Stephen King, New York Times’ best-selling author, has found success in many aspects, but it wasn’t always like this, King witnessed tragedy and horrors from the very beginning. When he was 2 years old, his father told his mom that he was going out to get cigarettes but in fact, he never came back, he had abandoned his family.
This left his mother Ruth to care for Stephen and his elder brother David on her own. Ruth was forced to move often, desperately looking for work as she was now the only provider of the family, and she had to rely on relatives most of the time. One day Stephen went out to play with friends and when he came back, he wasn’t even able to speak a single word. It seemed he was hurt mentally or something, but he still got the courage to continue forward. It turned out that one of his friends was hit by a train and died, which left an emotional scar on him.
King, later on, dropped out of school due to some serious health concerns and was told that he had to enlist（入伍） again the next fall, which demotivated him too. Although Stephen King didn’t see his childhood as something extraordinary or special, he did say that he was always fascinated by scary things.
People used to acknowledge the King family by their love of literature. In fact, whenever Stephen’s mom had to go out, she didn’t hire a babysitter, for the kids used to read novels to each other so they would not get bored. Stephen King’s love of stories was developed from a very young age and he carried that tradition with his own children along with his wife Tabitha.
In 1973, Stephen King started his amazing journey of success when he published his first novel Carrie, which is scary. The rest followed from after that as he published many amazing books like The Shining, IT, Firestarter, and Cujo. All of these books became instant classics and got their own movie and television shows adaptions.
24. What is mainly talked about Stephen King in the first two paragraphs
A. His unfortunate childhood. B. His mother’s bitter experiences.
C. His difficulty in supporting the family. D. His achievements in writing.
25. What left Stephen King not even speaking a single word
A. He was knocked down by a passing train.
B. He was depressed by the constant moves.
C. He was heart struck by a terrible accident.
D. He was badly criticized by a close friend.
26. What does the underlined word “demotivated” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Inspired. B. Embarrassed. C. Relaxed. D. Discouraged.
27. Why didn’t Stephen’s mom hire a babysitter
A. The children could actually entertain themselves.
B. The family was too poor to hire a babysitter.
C. The family could not find a proper babysitter.
D. The children didn’t like to be cared for by others.

On December 16, 2023, the first section of Maya Train officially opened, which runs between Campeche and Cancún, carrying up to 231 passengers across 290 miles and stopping at 14 train stations.
Built as an ambitious effort to promote tourism and boost Mexico’s economy, the rail system connects the major cities and tourist regions of the Yucatán Peninsula — from Cancún’s beaches to Tulum’s archaeological wonders. Once the project is completed, the entire rail system will link tourist destinations across five states. However, environmentalists and archaeologists argue that the train route will cause great damage to the environment -- and ancient Mayan sites.
The Maya Train passes through six UNESCO World Heritage sites and thousands of archaeological sites. One particular area of concern is the Calakmul biosphere reserve, which is home to many endangered species, such as jaguars and over 500 other animal species. The train lines, more than 60 meters wide, could act as artificial barriers that may limit the movement of these animals within the reserve making it difficult for them to move around and access food and water sources.
Opponents also express safety concerns. Certain sections of the rail system will be built right on top of the aquifer’s（含水层的） most fragile points of contact with the surface. “It’s like wanting to build over eggshells,” says Guillermo Christy, a water treatment consultant. “Putting trains weighing thousands of tons on top could cause the underground caves to crash down.” To construct the train infrastructure also requires driving long piles deep into the ground, which poses a big threat to this fragile ecosystem and leads to water shortages.
In the ongoing debate of Maya Train, it is crucial to consider the delicate balance between economic development and environmental preservation. While Maya Train may provide economic benefits, we must not overlook the potential environmental and cultural losses, as well as the safety risks it may bring. Achieving harmony between progress and conservation may be a significant challenge for the project, but we must take into account the long-term consequences of our actions.
28. What do we know about the Maya Train project
A. It consumes lots of labor in Mexico.
B. It was completed on December 16,2023.
C. It has concerned some professionals.
D. It blocks the development of local tourism.
29. What effect do the train lines have on the animals in the reserve
A. Polluting their water sources.
B. Disturbing their sleeping patterns.
C. Attracting their enemies to the area.
D. Restricting their activities.
30. Why does the author mention “eggshells” in Paragraph 4
A. To show the difficulty of constructing the rail lines.
B. To stress Maya Train’s potential harm to the aquifer system.
C. To prove the urgency of protecting the fragile ecosystem.
D. To explain the reasons for water shortages along the railway.
31. Which statement would the author probably agree with
A. Economic development should not come at the cost of the environment.
B. Preserving cultural sites requires strong financial support.
C. It is time to speed up the construction process of Maya Train.
D. We should value the economic benefits of the project in the long run.
D
Zoologists studied the nervous systems of insects to investigate principles of biological brain computation and possible effects on machine learning and artificial intelligence. Specifically, they analysed how insects learn to associate sensory information in their environment with a food reward, and how they can recall this information later in order to solve complex tasks such as the search for food.
Living organisms show remarkable abilities in coping with problems posed by complex and dynamic environments. They are able to generalize their experiences in order to rapidly adap t their behaviour when the environment changes. The zoologists investigated how the nervous system of the fruit fly controls its behaviour when searching for food.
Using a computer model, they simulated and analysed the computations in the fruit fly’s nervous system in response to scents（气味） coming from the food source. They initially trained their model of the fly brain in exactly the same way as insects are trained in experiments. They presented a specific scent in the simulation together with a reward and a second scent without a reward.
“The model rapidly learns a strong representation of the rewarded scent after just a few scent presentations and is then able to find the source of this scent in a complex environment,” said computer scientist Dr Hannes Rapp, who created the model.
The model created is thus capable to generalize from its memory and to apply what it has learned previously in a completely new and complex environment, while learning required only a very small database of training samples.
The results suggest that the transformation of sensory information into memories in the brain can inspire future machine learning and artificial intelligence application s to solving complex tasks.
32. What is the ultimate aim of the research
A. To investigate principles of biological brain computation.
B. To solve problems in simulated complex environments.
C. To analyse how insects search for food in complex environment.
D. To promote machine learning and AI applications.
33. How did zoologists mainly carry out their research
A. By observing fruit flies. B. By performing lab experiments.
C. By using a computer model. D. By carrying out field research.
34. What is mainly discussed about the study in paragraphs 3-5
A. Its findings. B. Its process.
C. Its importance. D. Its application.
35. What does the result of this study imply
A. Artificial intelligence is applied to the study of insect brain.
B. Food reward is connected with information transformation.
C. Sensory information can be applied to solving complex tasks.
D. Studying living organisms can make a difference to AI research.

Sumer 42 the southern part of modern Iraq in the region called Mesopotamia. Mesopotamia means “between two rivers” — the Tigris and the Euphrates.

第二节（满分25分）
67.阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Almost every childhood memory I have is centered on food. Telling stories around a crowded table at holiday dinners , the smell of roasting vegetables, the sensation（感受） of heat coming from the kitchen, all picture a familiar feeling of love and comfort.
My favorite memory of all is of my grandparents making and baking bread together. To this day, I have never tasted bread that is as delicious as theirs. No other loaf has ever been made with that kind of powerful, unconditional love.
When our son Brian, one of seventh graders, began to refuse usual communication with me, I felt desperate. How I missed those lovely old days when he couldn’t wait to tell me his stories in kindergarten the moment I arrived home without getting changed! And there were also times when he brought loads of storybooks to me and demanded to be told all the stories before going to bed. But I didn’t know since when everything changed. There was hardly any sharing about his daily school life with friends or any trouble about his schoolwork. Most of the time, his bedroom door was closed. The cold silence between us seemed to warn me that love between us began to fade.
At that time, like most mothers, I couldn’t focus on work and couldn’t sleep well. Why did things go off track so much Was it because my work took away most of my energy that family love was taken for granted Was it because my only precious spare time went too much to my two-year-old baby daughter that Brian’s need for my company was ignored The more lreflected, the more I felt myself to blame and it was my responsibility to find a way out.
One day, as my eyes landed onto the bread on the kitchen table, I was reminded of those sweet childhood memories, “Could food help us make a change ” I wondered.

23. D 细节理解题。根据 Academy of Media Arts Cologne（KHM）可知，KHM提供了一个特殊而独特的学习概念没有将电影、电视、艺术、设计和理论领域分开，而是将它们整合到一个单一的学习课程中，从而获得视听媒体文凭。故选 D。
【B篇大意】本文为记叙文。主题为“人与自我”。本文主要讲述作者斯蒂芬·金虽然经历了不幸的童年然而正是这种不幸的童年使得作者见证并积累了众多的写作素材，从而创作出旷世杰作
24. A【解析】推理判断题。作者经历了不幸的童年：2岁时父亲离家而去、见证母亲独自抚养作者及其哥哥的艰辛、亲历好友被火车撞倒离世、虽因病辍学，随后一年又不得已被征入伍等等，作者见证并积累了众多的写作素材，从而创作出旷世杰作。第三段最后一句… he did say that he was always fascinated by scary things 和最后一段第一句…when he published his first novel “Carrie”, which is scary 也印证了这一推断,故答案为 A. Stephen’s unfortunate childhood。干扰项为 B. His mom’s miserable experiences“他妈妈的不幸遭遇”，该答案为以偏概全类的答案。
25. C【解析】细节理解题。由文章第二段最后一句It turned out that one of his friends was hit by a train and died, which left an emotional scar on him. 可知答案为C。
26. D 【解析】猜测词义题。由前一分句 King, later on, dropped out of school due to some serious health concerns“金后来因为一些严重的健康问题而辍学”可知这是一件令人泄气的事，又由定语从句 which demotivated him too 中的 too 一词可以推断 demotivated 意为Discouraged“使泄气”，故答案为 D. Discouraged.
27. A【解析】推理判断题。由倒数第二段中的she didn’t hire a babysitter, for the kids used to read novels to each other so they would not get bored 可知孩子们通过给彼此读故事来“自娱自乐”（entertain themselves）， 不需要成人照顾，故答案为 A. The children could actually entertain themselves.
C篇【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章谈论了玛雅火车项目对环境和遗迹的破坏。
28. 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Once the project is completed, the entire rail system will link tourist destinations across five states. However, environmentalists and archaeologists argue that the train route will cause great damage to the environment-and ancient Mayan sites.（一旦项目完成，整个铁路系统将连接五个州的旅游目的地。然而，环保主义者和考古学家认为，这条铁路线将对环境和古玛雅遗址造成巨大破坏。）”可知，玛雅火车项目引起了一些专业人士的担忧。故选 C 项。
29. 细节理解题。根据第三段中“The train lines, more than 60 meters wide, could act as artificial barriers that may limit the movement of these animals within the reserve making it difficult for them to move around and access food and water sources.（这些超过60 米宽的火车线可以作为人工屏障，限制这些动物在保护区内的活动，使它们难以四处走动，也难以获得食物和水源。）”可知，铁路限制了保护区的动物活动。故选 D 项。
30. 推理判断题。根据第四段中“’It’s like wanting to build over eggshells,’says Guillermo Christy, a water treatment consultant.’Putting trains weighing thousands of tons on top could cause the underground caves to crash down.’To construct the train infrastructure also requires driving long piles deep into the ground, which poses a big threat to this fragile ecosystem and leads to water shortages.（‘这就像想在蛋壳上盖房子一样’水处理顾问Guillermo Christy 说。 ‘把数千吨重的火车放在上面可能会导致地下洞穴坍塌。’建设铁路基础设施还需要将长桩深入地下，这对脆弱的生态系统构成了巨大威胁，并导致水资源短缺。）”可知，本段提到“蛋壳”是强调玛雅火车对含水层系统的潜在危害。故选 B 项。
31. 推理判断题。根据最后一段“In the ongoing debate of Maya Train, it is crucial to consider the delicate balance between economic development and environmental preservation. While Maya Train may provide economic benefits, we must not overlook the potential environmental and cultural losses, as well as the safety risks it may bring. Achieving harmony between progress and conservation may be a significant challenge for the project, but we must take into account the long-term consequences of our actions.（在正在进行的关于玛雅火车的辩论中，考虑经济发展和环境保护之间的微妙平衡是至关重要的。虽然玛雅火车可能提供经济效益，但我们不能忽视潜在的环境和文化损失，以及它可能带来的安全风险。实现进步和保护之间的和谐可能是该项目面临的重大挑战，但我们必须考虑到我们行动的长期后果。）”可知，作者认为经济发展不应该以牺牲环境为代价。故选 A 项。
D篇【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍动物学家通过研究证明感官信息可以促进机器学习和人工智能在解决复杂问题中的作用。
【32题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段的“Zoologists studied the nervous systems of insects to investigate principle s of biological brain computation and possible effects on machine learning and artificial intelligence.（动物学家研究昆虫的神经系统，其目的是研究生物大脑计算的原理，以及对机器学习和人工智能可能产生的影响）”和最后一段的“The results suggest that the transformation of sensory information into memories in the brain can inspire future machine learning and artificial intelligence applications to solving complex tasks.（研究结果表明，将感官信息转化为大脑中的记忆可以激发未来机器学习和人工智能在解决复杂任务中的应用）”推知，该研究的最终目的是促进机器学习和人工智能的应用。故选 D。
【33 题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段的“Using a computer model, they simulated and analysed the computations in the fruit fly’s nervous system in response to scents（气味） coming from the food source.（利用一个计算机模型，他们模拟并分析了果蝇神经系统对来自食物来源的气味的反应）”可知，动物学家通过使用一个计算机模型来进行研究。故选C。
【34题详解】主旨大意题。根据第三段的“They initially trained their model of the fly brain inexactly the same way as insects are trained in experiments. They presented a specific scent in the sim ulation together with a reward and a second scent without a reward.（他们最初训练果蝇大脑模型的方式与在实验中训练昆虫的方式完全相同。他们在模拟实验中展示了一种特定的气味和一种奖励，以及一种没有奖励的气味）”，第四段的“The model rapidly learns a strong representation of the rewarded scent after just a few scent presentations and is then able to find the source of this scent in a complex environment（这个模型只需展示几次气味，就能迅速学会对受奖励气味的强烈表达，然后就能在复杂的环境中找到这种气味的来源）”和第五段的“The model created is thus capable to generalize from its memory and to apply what it has learned previously in a completely new and complex environment（因此，所创建的模型能够从其记忆中进行概括，并在一个全新复杂的环境中应用之前所学到的知识）”可知，3-5段主要介绍了实验的过程，包括实验初、实验中和实验得到的结果。故选 B。
【35题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段的“The results suggest that the transformation of sensory information into memories in the brain can inspire future machine learning and artificial intelligence applications to solving complex tasks.（研究结果表明，将感官信息转化为大脑中的记忆可以激发未来机器学习和人工智能在解决复杂任务中的应用）”推知，感官信息可以用来解决复杂的任务。故选 C。

应用文范文：
Dear Mr. Peterson,
It is a common phenomenon that modern high school students have stress. My pressure mainly comes from the pressure of study. Academic pressure is undoubtedly the main source of high school students’ psychological pressure. After entering high school, the study burden is increased, which is manifested as the increase of subjects, and the deepening of course. In my opinion, students should know themselves correctly and set a good position for themselves. Students shouldn’t exceed their upper limit level, nor give up on themselves, and have the spirit of “persistence is victory”.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

With an uneasy feeling, I decided to try. Just then it occurred to me that the other day Brian ever mentioned that he loved the fried rice that I cooked. I began preparing the cooking material. When he got home from school, Brian was greeted by delicious fried rice on the table and a note reading,“from your Mom who loves you forever” He was surprised and gave me a hug saying, “Thank you, Mom.” Although Brian still had his door closed every day, I was greeted by more broad smiles every time he came back from school.
More than that, one weekend evening, Brian offered to help me in the kitchen. When we were preparing his favorite fried rice together, Brian came to me and looked at me in the eyes saying, “Mom, although I made you unhappy, I love you in my deep heart just as I love fried rice.” I cried that night for nearly half an hour because I got my Brian back again.

W: Isidora Djuki c is a biology and chemistry student at John Carroll University. She never thought that one day she would be in a classroom where an English professor asked her to play a board game to learn about climate change.
Djuki c is taking a biology class called Climate Change: Global Impacts. At the same time, she is taking an English class called Environmental Literature. Her university requires students to take two connected classes that examine the same subject in different ways.
Debra Rosenthal is the English professor. At first, Djuki c said she was uncertain about Rosenthal’s board game idea. “I was just thinking the idea could be interesting. But how fun is this idea actually going to be Can we really learn about climate change just by playing a board game What specifically can we get from such a game ”
Rosenthal bought six copies of a game called “Solutions”. The goal is to pick cards and then add them to the game board in a way that helps reduce global temperatures. Students do not compete against each other. They work together and try to come up with a solution so that the planet is not destroyed. The game is different from some other board games such as “Monopoly”, where the goal is to win.
Students read materials and then discuss their ideas. In most classes, Rosenthal said, students laughed, disagreed and had to call for votes as a way to decide how to move forward in the game. Djukic said it was a way to have fun while also learning about such a serious subject.
