After taking an introductory course in global health last winter, Yashaswi Bista, president of Stanford SupplyHe, was empowered to take action against malaria---a disease that has been claiming hundreds of thousands of lives every year for centuries.
Stanford SupplyHe, a student group supporting women's health through art, hosted an event in partnership with United to Beat Malaria (UBM) to encourage funding for malaria prevention, treatment and research initiatives while tabling at White Plaza on Monday. “Knowing that malaria is especially dangerous to pregnant individuals and children makes advocacy for malaria funding and research essential for our mission,” said Bista.
“We in the U.S. need to be aware of the impact of global warming on malaria because less developed countries in other parts of the world are more heavily affected by our emissions,” Bista said. Last year, the U.S. experienced its first local outbreaks of malaria since 2003. Infectious disease experts have warned that climate change will spread malaria and other diseases carried by mosquitoes to areas that were once free of malaria.
This summer, after discovering the work of UBM, a global grassroots campaign of the UN Foundation, Bista met with her congressional representatives to advocate for malaria treatment and research. To support continued funding for global malaria programs, Bista wrote to officials in Congress. “It’s easy for people to feel like they are powerless with issues as big as malaria. But any person can give input to their decision makers on issues as big as these,” wrote Maegan Cross, a senior advocate at UBM. "By sending messages to your elected official in support of global health funding, you are making sure your voice is heard.”
Bista encouraged students to become involved in initiatives on campus to spread awareness of malaria and other global health issues: “Global health is important to me because there are so many health inequities around the world and health itself is important to live a fulfilling life,” Bista said. “Because there are so many health inequities around the world, I want to raise awareness and help people live fulfilling lives.”
What inspired Bista to engage in actions against malaria
A learning experience. B. A health crisis.
C. A grassroots campaign. D. A tabling event.
5. What did Bista do to support malaria prevention
A. A tabling event. B. She launched a research project.
C. She campaigned for fundraising. D. She budgeted for malaria treatment.
6. What is the message Maegan Cross intends to convey
A. Community voices secure health funding.
B. Malaria outbreaks are difficult to prevent.
C. The public needs more knowledge about health.
D. Individual efforts matter in government decisions.
7. Which of the following best describes Bista
A. A health advocate. B. A club founder. C. A woman pioneer. D. A disease specialist.
C
In a new set of studies, researchers found that people showed greater goal commitment and performance when they told their goal to someone they believed had higher status (地位) than themselves. In these studies, higher-status people were those who the participants thought had more prestige (威望) than they did.
In one study, 17l undergraduate students were seated at computers and told they had to move a slider (滑块) on the screen to the number 50 as many times as possible within the given time. After counting how many times they successfully did this, they had to do it again, but this time they were told to set and write down a goal.
The experimenter then informed the participants that a lab assistant would come around and check on their goals. In some cases, the lab assistant was dressed in a suit and introduced himself as a doctoral student in the business school who was an expert on today’s study topic. For other participants, the same lab assistant dressed in casual clothing and introduced himself as a student at a local community college who was working part time at the business school. A third group of participants didn’t share their goals with the lab assistant.
Results showed that participants who shared their goals with the higher-status lab assistant reported they were more willing to achieve the goal they set for themselves than those who told the lower-status assistant. And participants who shared their goal with the lower-status assistant performed no better than those who told no one about their goal. “These findings provide evidence that refutes popular media recommendations that one should stay silent about a goal,” said Howard Klein, lead author of the new study.
“Contrary to what you may have heard, in most cases you get more benefit from sharing your goal than if you don’t as long as you share it with someone whose opinion you value,” Klein said. “You don’t want him to think less of you because you didn’t achieve your goal.”
8．Why did the lab assistant change his clothes
A．To approach the students more easily. B．To act out roles of different status.
C．To work for different business schools. D．To avoid being recognized by the students.
9．What does the underlined word “refutes” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A．Deals with. B．Catches up with. C．Says no to. D．Relies on.
10．Why do we benefit from sharing our goals with the right person
A．We care about what he thinks of us.
B．We get useful advice and support from him.
C．We improve ourselves according to his opinions.
D．We find a strong sense of purpose by sharing.
11．What might be the suitable title for the text
A．Share your goals — but do use the right words
B．Share your goals — but be careful who you tell
C．Share your goals — and you’ll surely achieve them
D．Share your goals — and you’ll get mentally strong
D
Research reveals that not only brain cells, but also cells from other body parts, can store memories. This discovery offers new insights into memory function and potential treatments for memory - related issues, according to New York University. The research aimed to explore whether non - brain cells contribute to memory by applying the massed - spaced effect — a principle suggesting that information is remembered better when learned over multiple periods rather than through intensive study in a single session.
In their study, published in Nature Communications, scientists investigated two types of non - brain human cells in a laboratory setting. These cells were exposed to various chemical signals, similar to how brain cells respond to neurotransmitters (神经递质) during learning. In response, the non - brain cells activated a “memory gene” — the same gene that brain cells use for detecting patterns and restructuring their connections to form memories. To monitor this process, the researchers engineered the cells to produce a fluorescent protein, allowing them to track when the memory gene was turned on or off.
The results showed that these cells could detect repeated chemical signals, similar to neurotransmitter bursts in the brain, rather than extended ones. This mirrors how brain cells register learning with spaced breaks instead of learning everything all at once. When signals were spaced out, the “memory gene” was activated more strongly and for a longer time than when delivered all at once. “This reflects the massed - spaced effect,” says Kukushkin, a clinical associate professor at NYU. “It shows that repeated learning is a fundamental property of all cells.”
“This discovery opens new doors for understanding how memory works and could lead to better ways to enhance learning and treat memory - related issues,” observes Kukushkin. “It also suggests that in the future, we may need to treat our body like the brain, considering how systems such as digestion or cancer cells ‘remember’ patterns to regulate blood sugar or respond to the pattern of cancer treatment.”
What does the massed - spaced effect illustrate
A. The brain stores memory during deep sleep.
B. Spacing learning over time improves memory.
C. Memory is stored only when repeated continuously.
D. Learning everything in one session reduces memory.
13. What is the underlined word “fluorescent protein” refer to
A. A neurotransmitter produced by brain cells.
B. A type of chemical signal released by cells.
C. A protein found only in brain - related research.
D. A substance that indicates active memory genes.
14. What can be learned from the research in paragraph 3
A. All cells possess the basic characteristic of repeated learning.
B. Cells do not respond to chemical signals during spacing learning.
C. Intensive learning is more effective than spaced learning.
D. The brain only uses extended bursts of neurotransmitters.
15. What could be a suitable title for this article
A. Exploring Memory Function
B. The Impact of Chemical Signals on Memory Formation
C. How Brain Cells Detect Patterns during Learning
D. The Role of Non-Brain Cells in Memory Storage

Celebrations are essential for your well-being. In a fast-paced world, pausing to celebrate gives your mind and body a much-needed break. It’s a moment to reconnect with people around you, recharge yourself, and reflect on how far you’ve come. 16 Here’s how hitting pause to party can make your life healthier and happier.
●Celebrating builds connection and community. 17 They bring people together. They create moments of shared joy and a sense of belonging that strengthens bonds. Having a solid network of people in your corner reduces stress, boosts mental health, and even improves physical well - being.
●Celebrating helps you feel motivated. Taking the time to celebrate increases your motivation to get things done. According to research, acknowledging your wins, even small ones, causes the brain to release dopamine (多巴胺), which creates a cycle in your brain that encourages you to repeat that same behavior. 18 You’ll get that pleasant dopamine hit that’ll keep you moving forward.
●Celebrating fuels confidence and resilience. Celebrating your wins boosts confidence and self-esteem. Every milestone shows the challenges you’ve conquered. Reflecting on these moments reminds you of your strength and determination. Each win, big or small, is a stepping stone to the next goal. Go ahead and celebrate. 19
● 20 Celebrations spark an energy of joy and optimism. When you gather people to laugh, dance, and share love, you create something bigger than the event itself. It’s a reminder to let go of worries, even if only for a little while. This kind of joy is contagious (有感染力的). When you celebrate, you’re not just lifting your own spirits, you’re inspiring others to feel lighter, happier, and more connected.
A. Celebrating spreads positivity.

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。
I never imagined that a single piece of paper could change my entire perspective on life. I was a librarian, a job that had defined my existence for over two decades. My days were spent among the quiet rows of books. I knew every corner of the library, every book of the shelves, and yet, I felt as if my own life was missing a chapter.
It was a typical Tuesday morning. I was sorting through a box of old donations, preparing to catalog some rare books, when I found a small, yellowed envelope between the pages of an ancient volume. It was unaddressed, with no stamp and no indication of its origin. Curious, I carefully opened it. The handwriting was elegant but faded. The letter inside read:
I read the letter over and over, feeling a strange mix of emotions. The words resonated deeply within me, as if they were written specifically for me. I had always been content with my life, but lately, I felt a growing sense of restlessness. The library was my sanctuary(庇护所), but it had also become my prison. I had lost sight of my own dreams, my own story.
That evening, as I closed the library, I couldn't shake the feeling that the letter was a sign. I had always been cautious, preferring the safety of routine to the uncertainty of change. But the letter determined me that life was meant to be lived, not just observed.

第二节（满分25分）Version：
The next morning, I walked into the library director's office, saying with resolution, “I have an idea." The director looked up from her desk, her eyes filled with curiosity. Taking a deep breath, I explained my idea to organize a moveable library program, bringing books and stories to those who had no access. I suggested reaching out to schools, nursing homes, and shelters-places where people might need a little bit of hope and connection. The director's expression softened, and she nodded thoughtfully.“That's a wonderful idea," she agreed. With her support, I threw myself into the project. After hours of planning, contacting local organizations, and gathering resources, I enlisted the help of a few enthusiastic volunteers. The preparation work went smoothly.
Weeks later, the moveable library program started, bringing libraries to different communities. The first stop was a local elementary school, where we set up a reading corner in the library, equipped with colorful books and cozy seats. As I read aloud to a group of wide-eyed children, I saw their faces light up with wonder. For a moment, I forgot about my own doubts and fears. I was reminded of the joy that books could bring, and the importance of sharing that joy with others. The following months witnessed our library touched the lives of countless people in diverse places ranging from nursing homes, orphanages to hospitals. Each visit was a reminder of the letter's words: “You have the power to change your world, one small act at a time.”
附详解：
D 原文提到“The instant New York Times bestseller. End the struggle, speak up for what you need, and experience the freedom of being truly yourself. Healthy boundaries. .... But what do ‘healthy boundaries’ really mean—and how can we successfully express our needs, say ‘no,’ and be decisive without offending others ”这段话明确指出，这本书的重点是“建立健康的边界”，并解释了如何成功地表达需求、说“不”以及在不冒犯他人的情况下做出决定。
C Mylèk Teele的评价是：“Set Boundaries, Find Peace is a down-to-earth guide on fully realizing your potential... Eye-opening and thoroughly engaging.”这里使用了“down-to-earth guide”，意思是“脚踏实地的指南”，这表明他认为这本书是实用的（practical）。
B 根据“FREE delivery: Friday, March 21 on orders shipped by Amazon over $35.”这意味着任何超过35美元的订单都可以免费送货。根据价格表，两个精装本的价格是$19.42 + $19.42 = $38.84，超过了35美元，因此至少需要两个精装本才能保证免费送货。
A 根据 “After taking an introductory course in global health last winter, Yashaswi Bista... was empowered to take action against malaria” 可知，是一次学习经历启发了 Bista 对抗疟疾，答案是 A。B 选项 “A health crisis”（健康危机）、C 选项 “A grassroots campaign”（草根运动）、D 选项 “A tabling event”（摆摊活动）均不是5. C 文中提到 “Stanford SupplyHer... hosted an event... to encourage funding for malaria prevention”，说明 Bista 通过组织活动来筹款支持疟疾防治，答案是 C。A 选项 “She organized a charity sale”（她组织了一场慈善义卖）、B 选项 “She launched a research project”（她发起了一个研究项目）、D 选项 “She budgeted for malaria treatment”（她为疟疾治疗做预算）在文中均未提及。
D Macgan Cross 说 “By sending messages to your elected officials in support of global health funding, you are making sure your voice is heard”，强调个人向决策者表达意见的重要性，即个人努力在政府决策中很重要，答案是 D。A 选项 “Community voices secure health funding”（社区声音确保健康资金）、B 选项 “Malaria outbreaks are difficult to prevent”（疟疾爆发难以预防）、C 选项 “The public needs more knowledge about health”（公众需要更多健康知识）均不符合文意。
A Bista 积极参与抗击疟疾行动，鼓励人们关注疟疾和全球健康问题，是一名健康倡导者，答案是 A。B 选项 “A club founder”（俱乐部创始人），文章重点强调她在健康倡导方面的行为；C 选项 “A woman pioneer”（女性先驱）、D 选项 “A disease specialist”（疾病专家）不符合对她的描述。
8. B 根据文章第三段内容，实验中，实验室助手会穿着不同的服装，以不同的身份介绍自己，一个是穿着西装、以商学院博士生的身份，代表较高地位；另一个是穿着便装、以社区学院学生兼商学院兼职工作人员的身份，代表较低地位。所以实验室助手换衣服是为了扮演不同地位的角色，来研究参与者在面对不同地位的人时的反应，故选 B。
9. C 文章第四段提到研究结果表明，与地位较高的实验室助手分享目标的参与者比那些与地位较低的助手分享目标或不分享目标的参与者更愿意实现自己设定的目标。这与流行媒体所推荐的 “对目标保持沉默” 这一观点是相反的，所以 “refutes” 的意思应该是 “反驳，否定”，与 “says no to” 意思相近，故选 C。
10. A 根据文章最后一段 “‘You don’t want him to think less of you because you didn’t achieve your goal.’” 可知，我们与合适的人分享目标会受益是因为我们在乎他对我们的看法，我们不想因为没有实现目标而让他看不起我们，故选 A。
11. B 文章主要讲述了研究发现人们向他们认为地位较高的人分享目标时，会表现出更强的目标承诺和更好的表现，强调了分享目标时对象的重要性。B 选项 “Share your goals—but be careful who you tell”（分享你的目标 —— 但要注意你告诉的对象）符合文章主旨，故选 B。A 选项中 “do use the right words” 在文中未提及；C 选项 “you’ll surely achieve them” 过于绝对，分享目标并不意味着一定会实现目标；D 选项 “you’ll get mentally strong” 文中没有相关内容。
文章介绍了一项研究,发现非大脑细胞也能存储记忆。研究应用了“间隔学习效应”,表明信息在分阶段学习时,比集中学习效果更好。研究人员通过在实验中激活非大脑细胞的“记忆基因”，发现这些细胞对间隔化学信号反应更强烈且持续更久。
12.B根据文章第一段The research aimed ... the massed-spaced effect-a principle suggesting that information is remembered better when learned over multiple periods rather than through intensive study in a single session.的描述,massed-spaced effect 解释了“在多个学习时段之间分开学习,而不是集中在一个时段进行学习，可以更好地记住信息”,故选B。
13.D从文章第二段To monitor this process, the researchers engineered the cells to produce a fluorescent protein, allowing them to track when the memory gene was turned on or off.可知,这是研究人员为了追踪记忆基因的活跃状态,而改造细胞使之产生的一种物质一-荧光蛋白,故选D。
14.A由第三段最后一句“It shows that repeated learning is a fundamental property of all cells."可知,重复学习是所有细胞的一个基本特性,故选A。
15.D整篇文章的主要内容是探讨身体其他部位的细胞如何通过响应化学信号参与记忆的形成,故选D。
16. B前文阐述了庆祝对幸福的重要性，如能让身心休息、重新建立联系等，后文则开始具体说明庆祝如何让生活更健康快乐。B 选项 “So, what makes celebrating so good for you ”（那么，是什么让庆祝对你如此有益呢？）作为过渡句，承接上文庆祝的意义，引出下文对庆祝好处的具体解释，起到了承上启下的作用。
17. F 该段主旨是庆祝能建立联系和社区。F 选项 “Celebrations do more than mark milestones or holidays.”（庆祝不仅仅是纪念里程碑或节日。）指出了庆祝的意义不止于常规的纪念，接着后文进一步说明庆祝能让人们聚集在一起，创造共享的快乐时刻和归属感，强化彼此的联系，与该段主旨相符。
18. C 上文提到认可自己的胜利（即使是小胜利）会让大脑释放多巴胺，鼓励重复相同行为。C 选项 “Make sure to set small goals and celebrate them.”（确保设定小目标并庆祝它们。）承接上文，说明设定小目标并庆祝可以获得多巴胺的刺激，让自己不断前进，符合上下文逻辑。
19. E此段围绕庆祝能增强信心和韧性展开，指出每个胜利都是下一个目标的垫脚石。E 选项 “You’ll prove to yourself just how great you really are.”（你会向自己证明你有多棒。）是对庆祝能增强自信这一观点的总结，与前文 “庆祝胜利能提升自信和自尊” 相呼应，强调了庆祝带来的积极自我认知。
20. A该段主要描述了庆祝能激发快乐和乐观的能量，这种快乐具有感染力，能鼓舞他人。A 选项 “Celebrating spreads positivity.”（庆祝传播积极情绪。）作为段首句，概括了该段的核心内容，即庆祝所带来的积极影响，且 “spreads positivity” 与后文 “spark an energy of joy and optimism”“this kind of joy is contagious” 等表述相契合 。
21. B 根据前文 “He has skills beyond the reach of ordinary people and creates woodwork with nothing other than a single piece of wood.” 可知，他技艺高超，能仅用一块木头制作木工制品，这会让首次观看的网友感到震惊。这里用 “astonishing” 更能体现他的技艺给人的震撼，所以选 B。
22.A 此处表示这位中国木匠被比作现代的鲁班。A 项 “compared to” 意为 “把…… 比作”；B 项 “influenced by” 意为 “受…… 影响”；C 项 “taken for” 意为 “被认为是”；D 项 “identified as” 意为 “被识别为”。根据语境，是将他和鲁班作比较，所以选 A。
D 从后文 “has spread quickly on overseas social platforms, gaining more than 42 million views” 可知，这个视频在海外社交平台传播迅速且观看量高，所以是很受欢迎的。
C 这里说的是阿木爷爷在他的作品中运用了中国古代的榫卯结构。C 项 “employs” 意为 “运用，使用”；准确表达在作品中使用某种技术，所以选 C。

After taking an introductory course in global health last winter, Yashaswi Bista, president of Stanford SupplyHe, was empowered to take action against malaria---a disease that has been claiming hundreds of thousands of lives every year for centuries.
Stanford SupplyHe, a student group supporting women's health through art, hosted an event in partnership with United to Beat Malaria (UBM) to encourage funding for malaria prevention, treatment and research initiatives while tabling at White Plaza on Monday. “Knowing that malaria is especially dangerous to pregnant individuals and children makes advocacy for malaria funding and research essential for our mission,” said Bista.
“We in the U.S. need to be aware of the impact of global warming on malaria because less developed countries in other parts of the world are more heavily affected by our emissions,” Bista said. Last year, the U.S. experienced its first local outbreaks of malaria since 2003. Infectious disease experts have warned that climate change will spread malaria and other diseases carried by mosquitoes to areas that were once free of malaria.
This summer, after discovering the work of UBM, a global grassroots campaign of the UN Foundation, Bista met with her congressional representatives to advocate for malaria treatment and research. To support continued funding for global malaria programs, Bista wrote to officials in Congress. “It’s easy for people to feel like they are powerless with issues as big as malaria. But any person can give input to their decision makers on issues as big as these,” wrote Maegan Cross, a senior advocate at UBM. "By sending messages to your elected official in support of global health funding, you are making sure your voice is heard.”
Bista encouraged students to become involved in initiatives on campus to spread awareness of malaria and other global health issues: “Global health is important to me because there are so many health inequities around the world and health itself is important to live a fulfilling life,” Bista said. “Because there are so many health inequities around the world, I want to raise awareness and help people live fulfilling lives.”
What inspired Bista to engage in actions against malaria
A learning experience. B. A health crisis.
C. A grassroots campaign. D. A tabling event.
5. What did Bista do to support malaria prevention
A. A tabling event. B. She launched a research project.
C. She campaigned for fundraising. D. She budgeted for malaria treatment.
6. What is the message Maegan Cross intends to convey
A. Community voices secure health funding.
B. Malaria outbreaks are difficult to prevent.
C. The public needs more knowledge about health.
D. Individual efforts matter in government decisions.
7. Which of the following best describes Bista
A. A health advocate. B. A club founder. C. A woman pioneer. D. A disease specialist.
C
In a new set of studies, researchers found that people showed greater goal commitment and performance when they told their goal to someone they believed had higher status (地位) than themselves. In these studies, higher-status people were those who the participants thought had more prestige (威望) than they did.
In one study, 17l undergraduate students were seated at computers and told they had to move a slider (滑块) on the screen to the number 50 as many times as possible within the given time. After counting how many times they successfully did this, they had to do it again, but this time they were told to set and write down a goal.
The experimenter then informed the participants that a lab assistant would come around and check on their goals. In some cases, the lab assistant was dressed in a suit and introduced himself as a doctoral student in the business school who was an expert on today’s study topic. For other participants, the same lab assistant dressed in casual clothing and introduced himself as a student at a local community college who was working part time at the business school. A third group of participants didn’t share their goals with the lab assistant.
Results showed that participants who shared their goals with the higher-status lab assistant reported they were more willing to achieve the goal they set for themselves than those who told the lower-status assistant. And participants who shared their goal with the lower-status assistant performed no better than those who told no one about their goal. “These findings provide evidence that refutes popular media recommendations that one should stay silent about a goal,” said Howard Klein, lead author of the new study.
“Contrary to what you may have heard, in most cases you get more benefit from sharing your goal than if you don’t as long as you share it with someone whose opinion you value,” Klein said. “You don’t want him to think less of you because you didn’t achieve your goal.”
8．Why did the lab assistant change his clothes
A．To approach the students more easily. B．To act out roles of different status.
C．To work for different business schools. D．To avoid being recognized by the students.
9．What does the underlined word “refutes” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A．Deals with. B．Catches up with. C．Says no to. D．Relies on.
10．Why do we benefit from sharing our goals with the right person
A．We care about what he thinks of us.
B．We get useful advice and support from him.
C．We improve ourselves according to his opinions.
D．We find a strong sense of purpose by sharing.
11．What might be the suitable title for the text
A．Share your goals — but do use the right words
B．Share your goals — but be careful who you tell
C．Share your goals — and you’ll surely achieve them
D．Share your goals — and you’ll get mentally strong
D
Research reveals that not only brain cells, but also cells from other body parts, can store memories. This discovery offers new insights into memory function and potential treatments for memory - related issues, according to New York University. The research aimed to explore whether non - brain cells contribute to memory by applying the massed - spaced effect — a principle suggesting that information is remembered better when learned over multiple periods rather than through intensive study in a single session.
In their study, published in Nature Communications, scientists investigated two types of non - brain human cells in a laboratory setting. These cells were exposed to various chemical signals, similar to how brain cells respond to neurotransmitters (神经递质) during learning. In response, the non - brain cells activated a “memory gene” — the same gene that brain cells use for detecting patterns and restructuring their connections to form memories. To monitor this process, the researchers engineered the cells to produce a fluorescent protein, allowing them to track when the memory gene was turned on or off.
The results showed that these cells could detect repeated chemical signals, similar to neurotransmitter bursts in the brain, rather than extended ones. This mirrors how brain cells register learning with spaced breaks instead of learning everything all at once. When signals were spaced out, the “memory gene” was activated more strongly and for a longer time than when delivered all at once. “This reflects the massed - spaced effect,” says Kukushkin, a clinical associate professor at NYU. “It shows that repeated learning is a fundamental property of all cells.”
“This discovery opens new doors for understanding how memory works and could lead to better ways to enhance learning and treat memory - related issues,” observes Kukushkin. “It also suggests that in the future, we may need to treat our body like the brain, considering how systems such as digestion or cancer cells ‘remember’ patterns to regulate blood sugar or respond to the pattern of cancer treatment.”
What does the massed - spaced effect illustrate
A. The brain stores memory during deep sleep.
B. Spacing learning over time improves memory.
C. Memory is stored only when repeated continuously.
D. Learning everything in one session reduces memory.
13. What is the underlined word “fluorescent protein” refer to
A. A neurotransmitter produced by brain cells.
B. A type of chemical signal released by cells.
C. A protein found only in brain - related research.
D. A substance that indicates active memory genes.
14. What can be learned from the research in paragraph 3
A. All cells possess the basic characteristic of repeated learning.
B. Cells do not respond to chemical signals during spacing learning.
C. Intensive learning is more effective than spaced learning.
D. The brain only uses extended bursts of neurotransmitters.
15. What could be a suitable title for this article
A. Exploring Memory Function
B. The Impact of Chemical Signals on Memory Formation
C. How Brain Cells Detect Patterns during Learning
D. The Role of Non-Brain Cells in Memory Storage

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。
I never imagined that a single piece of paper could change my entire perspective on life. I was a librarian, a job that had defined my existence for over two decades. My days were spent among the quiet rows of books. I knew every corner of the library, every book of the shelves, and yet, I felt as if my own life was missing a chapter.
It was a typical Tuesday morning. I was sorting through a box of old donations, preparing to catalog some rare books, when I found a small, yellowed envelope between the pages of an ancient volume. It was unaddressed, with no stamp and no indication of its origin. Curious, I carefully opened it. The handwriting was elegant but faded. The letter inside read:
I read the letter over and over, feeling a strange mix of emotions. The words resonated deeply within me, as if they were written specifically for me. I had always been content with my life, but lately, I felt a growing sense of restlessness. The library was my sanctuary(庇护所), but it had also become my prison. I had lost sight of my own dreams, my own story.
That evening, as I closed the library, I couldn't shake the feeling that the letter was a sign. I had always been cautious, preferring the safety of routine to the uncertainty of change. But the letter determined me that life was meant to be lived, not just observed.

第二节（满分25分）Version：
The next morning, I walked into the library director's office, saying with resolution, “I have an idea." The director looked up from her desk, her eyes filled with curiosity. Taking a deep breath, I explained my idea to organize a moveable library program, bringing books and stories to those who had no access. I suggested reaching out to schools, nursing homes, and shelters-places where people might need a little bit of hope and connection. The director's expression softened, and she nodded thoughtfully.“That's a wonderful idea," she agreed. With her support, I threw myself into the project. After hours of planning, contacting local organizations, and gathering resources, I enlisted the help of a few enthusiastic volunteers. The preparation work went smoothly.
Weeks later, the moveable library program started, bringing libraries to different communities. The first stop was a local elementary school, where we set up a reading corner in the library, equipped with colorful books and cozy seats. As I read aloud to a group of wide-eyed children, I saw their faces light up with wonder. For a moment, I forgot about my own doubts and fears. I was reminded of the joy that books could bring, and the importance of sharing that joy with others. The following months witnessed our library touched the lives of countless people in diverse places ranging from nursing homes, orphanages to hospitals. Each visit was a reminder of the letter's words: “You have the power to change your world, one small act at a time.”
附详解：
D 原文提到“The instant New York Times bestseller. End the struggle, speak up for what you need, and experience the freedom of being truly yourself. Healthy boundaries. .... But what do ‘healthy boundaries’ really mean—and how can we successfully express our needs, say ‘no,’ and be decisive without offending others ”这段话明确指出，这本书的重点是“建立健康的边界”，并解释了如何成功地表达需求、说“不”以及在不冒犯他人的情况下做出决定。
C Mylèk Teele的评价是：“Set Boundaries, Find Peace is a down-to-earth guide on fully realizing your potential... Eye-opening and thoroughly engaging.”这里使用了“down-to-earth guide”，意思是“脚踏实地的指南”，这表明他认为这本书是实用的（practical）。
B 根据“FREE delivery: Friday, March 21 on orders shipped by Amazon over $35.”这意味着任何超过35美元的订单都可以免费送货。根据价格表，两个精装本的价格是$19.42 + $19.42 = $38.84，超过了35美元，因此至少需要两个精装本才能保证免费送货。
A 根据 “After taking an introductory course in global health last winter, Yashaswi Bista... was empowered to take action against malaria” 可知，是一次学习经历启发了 Bista 对抗疟疾，答案是 A。B 选项 “A health crisis”（健康危机）、C 选项 “A grassroots campaign”（草根运动）、D 选项 “A tabling event”（摆摊活动）均不是5. C 文中提到 “Stanford SupplyHer... hosted an event... to encourage funding for malaria prevention”，说明 Bista 通过组织活动来筹款支持疟疾防治，答案是 C。A 选项 “She organized a charity sale”（她组织了一场慈善义卖）、B 选项 “She launched a research project”（她发起了一个研究项目）、D 选项 “She budgeted for malaria treatment”（她为疟疾治疗做预算）在文中均未提及。
D Macgan Cross 说 “By sending messages to your elected officials in support of global health funding, you are making sure your voice is heard”，强调个人向决策者表达意见的重要性，即个人努力在政府决策中很重要，答案是 D。A 选项 “Community voices secure health funding”（社区声音确保健康资金）、B 选项 “Malaria outbreaks are difficult to prevent”（疟疾爆发难以预防）、C 选项 “The public needs more knowledge about health”（公众需要更多健康知识）均不符合文意。
A Bista 积极参与抗击疟疾行动，鼓励人们关注疟疾和全球健康问题，是一名健康倡导者，答案是 A。B 选项 “A club founder”（俱乐部创始人），文章重点强调她在健康倡导方面的行为；C 选项 “A woman pioneer”（女性先驱）、D 选项 “A disease specialist”（疾病专家）不符合对她的描述。
8. B 根据文章第三段内容，实验中，实验室助手会穿着不同的服装，以不同的身份介绍自己，一个是穿着西装、以商学院博士生的身份，代表较高地位；另一个是穿着便装、以社区学院学生兼商学院兼职工作人员的身份，代表较低地位。所以实验室助手换衣服是为了扮演不同地位的角色，来研究参与者在面对不同地位的人时的反应，故选 B。
9. C 文章第四段提到研究结果表明，与地位较高的实验室助手分享目标的参与者比那些与地位较低的助手分享目标或不分享目标的参与者更愿意实现自己设定的目标。这与流行媒体所推荐的 “对目标保持沉默” 这一观点是相反的，所以 “refutes” 的意思应该是 “反驳，否定”，与 “says no to” 意思相近，故选 C。
10. A 根据文章最后一段 “‘You don’t want him to think less of you because you didn’t achieve your goal.’” 可知，我们与合适的人分享目标会受益是因为我们在乎他对我们的看法，我们不想因为没有实现目标而让他看不起我们，故选 A。
11. B 文章主要讲述了研究发现人们向他们认为地位较高的人分享目标时，会表现出更强的目标承诺和更好的表现，强调了分享目标时对象的重要性。B 选项 “Share your goals—but be careful who you tell”（分享你的目标 —— 但要注意你告诉的对象）符合文章主旨，故选 B。A 选项中 “do use the right words” 在文中未提及；C 选项 “you’ll surely achieve them” 过于绝对，分享目标并不意味着一定会实现目标；D 选项 “you’ll get mentally strong” 文中没有相关内容。
文章介绍了一项研究,发现非大脑细胞也能存储记忆。研究应用了“间隔学习效应”,表明信息在分阶段学习时,比集中学习效果更好。研究人员通过在实验中激活非大脑细胞的“记忆基因”，发现这些细胞对间隔化学信号反应更强烈且持续更久。
12.B根据文章第一段The research aimed ... the massed-spaced effect-a principle suggesting that information is remembered better when learned over multiple periods rather than through intensive study in a single session.的描述,massed-spaced effect 解释了“在多个学习时段之间分开学习,而不是集中在一个时段进行学习，可以更好地记住信息”,故选B。
13.D从文章第二段To monitor this process, the researchers engineered the cells to produce a fluorescent protein, allowing them to track when the memory gene was turned on or off.可知,这是研究人员为了追踪记忆基因的活跃状态,而改造细胞使之产生的一种物质一-荧光蛋白,故选D。
