B “How many languages do you speak?” It seems like a simple question, but it’s a tough one for me to answer. I’ve studied six, but I don’t speak six. I can’t count each language I’ve tried to learn as one, because my competence in each is different. The simplest answer is two. Eagle-eyed readers will notice I’m writing this in English, but I could have composed it in French. English is like sitting, and French is like walking. I’m really good at both but obviously sitting is easier. I took Italian in college, and to continue this analogy (类比), Italian is like jogging. I can jog for a decent distance, but not as far as I could go if I were walking. When I jog, I have to focus on not slowing down to a walk. But I also can’t speed up and start running. And by running, of course, I mean speaking Spanish. In fact, Spanish isn’t just running for me; it’s running in a race. The whole time, I am totally focused on that finish line, and when I get there, I’m spent. I might even need to be carried off the track. Now, Norwegian is also like running a race, but this time with hurdles (跨栏). The level of difficulty is much higher—as are the chances of me falling flat on my face. And then there’s Greek. Well, here’s what Greek is to me: It’s running a race, with hurdles, while being hunted by a lion. I keep up or get swallowed up. Clearly ‘six’ isn’t the right answer, just like ‘two’ doesn’t paint the full picture. I feel cheap taking credit for English—it’s effortless. But I am proud of the other five and of all those races I’ve run, whether I was going for distance or speed, or just trying to make it out alive. 24. Why is it hard for the author to answer the question? A. She does not figure out which is a spoken language. B. She isn’t aware of the definition of “studying a language”. C. She understands that studying and speaking vary greatly. D. She mainly applies English and French in her daily life. 25. Which is most probably the author’s native language? A. Spanish. B. French. C. Italian. D. English. 26. How does the author find speaking Greek? A. Hopeless. B. Frightening. C. Effortless. D. Discouraging. 27. What is the author’s attitude towards her learning multiple languages? A. She takes pride in her success. B. Her efforts are really worthwhile. C. Learning languages is a necessity. D. It calls for patience and speed. C Restricting your eating window to just 8 hours a day — a popular type of intermittent fasting (间歇性禁食) — has been linked to a higher risk of dying from heart disease, a new study indicates. Time-restricted eating has previously been associated with improved health conditions, but its long-term effects are unclear. To learn more, Wenze Zhong at Shanghai Jiao Tong University in China and his teammates studied about 20,000 adults, roughly half men and half women, who took part in the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Every year from 2003 to 2018, the survey’s participants self-reported dietary (饮食的) information. The researchers matched this against death records between 2003 to 2019. Participants were only included if they were aged 20 or older and had completed two diet questionnaires (问卷) in their first year of the survey. Over an average follow-up period of eight years, the researchers found that those who ate during an 8-hour daily window didn’t live longer than those with a more traditional eating schedule of 12 to 16 hours, despite intermittent fasting often being praised for its benefits to longevity (长寿). The researchers also found that people who followed an 8-hour eating schedule were 91% more likely to die from heart disease than those who ate over 12 to 16 hours. For people with heart conditions, eating during an 8 to 10-hour window was linked to a 66% higher risk of death from heart disease than it was for those eating over 12 to 16 hours. Among people with cancer, eating over a window of more than 16 hours was associated with a lower risk of death from cancer than a more restricted eating schedule. However, the study doesn’t prove that time-restricted eating caused any of these deaths. “Actually, unhealthy lifestyles may lead to heart disease. We also don’t know how healthy the foods people ate were,” says Zhong. 28．What is the purpose of Wenze Zhong’s research? A．To explore the secrets of people’s longevity. B．To study the benefits of time-restricted eating. C．To investigate the dietary habits among people. D．To find long-term effects of intermittent fasting. 29．How did Wenze Zhong and his team conduct the study? A．By interviewing participants of all ages. B．By linking dietary data to death records. C．By collecting data from different regions. D．By reporting participants’ health conditions. 30．What did Wenze Zhong and his team find? A．Intermittent fasting can help people live longer. B．An 8-hour eating window is best for heart health. C．Heart patients should avoid a 16-hour eating window. D．Longer eating windows can be good for some patients. 31．What is the last paragraph mainly about? A．The limitations of the study. B．The prospect of the study. C．The applications of the study. D．The significance of the study. D Before you open an app for a “hit”, it could be helpful to ask yourself, “What’s my reason for wanting to use the app right now?” Short videos reshape how the human brain processes information, warns a new study published in Neurolmage. Oxford University Press named “brain rot” its 2024 Word of the Year — a term to describe the mental fog and cognitive (认知的) decline tied to endless video watching, which is actually changing how our brains work: it dulls focus, weakens memory, and severely disturbs decision-making. The research, which combined behavioral analysis, brain imaging, and computational decision-making models, uncovered two critical ways short video addiction alters the brain. First, short video consumption affects you by hurting your sensitivity to loss. This is the tendency to feel the pain of losing something more strongly than the pleasure of gaining something of equal value. In decision-making, this comparison acts like a protective filter (过滤器) that helps you avoid risks. It makes you think twice before making choices that could lead to negative outcomes. However, if the sensitivity to loss is reduced, you’re more likely to make risky decisions without fully considering the consequences. Second, it slows information processing. Researchers found heavy users had significantly lower drift rates, the speed at which the brain gathers and analyzes evidence before deciding, meaning their brains worked slower to process information, requiring more mental effort even for simple choices. Notably, these issues are not due to poor willpower, but the brain adapting to the rapid pace of short-form content. If you’ve been feeling mentally foggy, troubled by everyday decisions, or find it hard to focus, it could be your brain adapting to the speed of the content you consume. This might be your sign to give your mind the space it needs to exist without constant stimulation. The fix isn’t quitting videos entirely, but intentional engagement: pause to ask, “Why use this app now?” Meanwhile, we can appreciate moments of meaningless time. We can make a habit of letting ourselves be intentionally bored, and find ways to be away from the screen. 32. What does “brain rot” refer to in paragraph 2? A. Physical damage to the brain. B. Addiction to short videos. C. Brains’ critical working method. D. Reduction in mental abilities. 33. Why are heavy short-video users more likely to make risky decisions? A. They tend to seek more risks. B. They weigh gain and loss well. C. Their awareness of loss weakens. D. Their decision-making speed quickens. 34. What is the author’s view regarding short-video consumption? A. Purposeful involvement in short videos will be helpful. B. Short videos should be banned to protect brain function. C. The harm of short videos is overstated by researchers. D. You should adapt to the speed of the content you consume. 35. Which of the following best describes the structure of the passage? A. Define a term→criticize a behavior→predict its consequences. B. Present a study→analyze findings→offer practical advice. C. Introduce an idea→explain its origin→propose solutions. D. Compare effects→introduce methods→draw conclusions. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Blanking on English words? The setback can make your study difficult. But the good news is there are multiple proven strategies for boosting memory. Strategy 1: ____36____ Best for: Remembering any new information. The brain links new details to information already stored away. So the easiest way to remember anything is to make it meaningful. Meaningful information is easier to remember than random, unconnected facts. ____37____. This is the idea behind memorization techniques — acronyms (首字母缩略词), rhymes, or songs that create associations between new information and existing knowledge or visual imagery. Strategy 2: Space out your study sessions — and let yourself struggle Best for: Studying for a test, learning a new language, remembering facts in detail. Spaced repetition involves revisiting information at increasing intervals (间隔). ____38____. Consolidating (巩固) this into long-term memory takes time and happens “offline” during rest periods. Another way to successfully commit something to memory is to test yourself and let yourself struggle to remember. For example, rather than rereading your textbook, test yourself first. It can help solidify information in your brain. Strategy 3: Employ visual and spatial memory Human brains are particularly good at remembering visual and spatial information, by linking information to familiar locations. Strategy 4: Prioritize sleep Adequate sleep is particularly important. ____39____. Exercise and healthy eating also help. Strategy 5: Emotional connections Memories associated with strong emotions are easier to form and maintain. ____40____. Strategy 6: Active recall It’s more effective than passive reading. Regularly test yourself rather than just rereading materials. This struggle actually helps strengthen memories. A. Make meaningful connections B. Spend 30 minutes focusing on memory C. Write down new words repeatedly until you can recall them immediately D. For information without built-in meaning, creating artificial meaning helps E. Try linking information you want to remember to personal experiences or emotions F. The brain uses this time to review what you’ve learned and store it in long-term memory G. This works because when you initially learn something, you store it in short-term memory 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 I’ve never met Mrs. Poddar, the owner of the house where I am living in this foreign country. I finished my 41 through a property agent. Mrs. Poddar is a complete 42 for me. Yet, a few months later, Mrs. Poddar instructed my agent to 43 my rent, and the new rent is only half of the original! Feeling 44 , I asked my agent about the reason. He told me that Mrs. Poddar 45 I was from abroad studying here alone and was still 46 the new environment. She did this just to offer me some 47 . Being away from my family to 48 my college degree, I have found the life here 49 in the past few months: no friends, no familiar food…. But the 50 Mrs. Poddar showed me opened a new world to me, 51 me not to indulge (沉湎) in negative feelings and to establish new relationships. So I decided to 52 with people in my local area by first lending a hand to others. On one occasion, I shopped for groceries for an old couple, who 53 me to a heavy meal they made. Actually, about half of my spare time is 54 with offering help to people in my neighborhood. We are indeed from different 55 , but that doesn’t loosen the ties between us. 41．A．moving B．purchasing C．selling D．renting 42．A．newcomer B．stranger C．friend D．helper 43．A．lower B．cancel C．collect D．raise 44．A．motivated B．confused C．excited D．annoyed 45．A．anticipated B．suspected C．discovered D．argued 46．A．wondering at B．adjusting to C．looking into D．working on 47．A．convenience B．advice C．comfort D．freedom 48．A．pursue B．change C．polish D．support 49．A．boring B．adventurous C．tough D．eventful 50．A．trust B．wisdom C．respect D．kindness 51．A．forcing B．expecting C．encouraging D．commanding 52．A．negotiate B．live C．correspond D．connect 53．A．treated B．entitled C．guided D．welcomed 54．A．ready B．occupied C．stuck D．consistent 55．A．neighborhoods B．families C．generations D．backgrounds 第二节 （共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Labubu dolls are hard to come by. Around the giant flagship store of their maker, Pop Mart, in Shanghai, a large number of customers 56 (tell) they need to wait a week or longer. It is not just Chinese children trying to get their hands on them; celebrities 57 (include) Rihanna, a pop star, and David Beckham, 58 ex-footballer, have posted photos of Labubu on social media. The popular enthusiasm for Labubu 59 (send) Pop Mart’s shares up by 180% since the start of the year. It is one of Chinese consumer brands 60 popularity is shooting up. In the past, Chinese shoppers looked overseas 61 the latest trends in cosmetics, fashion and more. Now they are streaming to local luxury firms, high-end make-up brands and milk-tea shops. It is an odd time for a boom among Chinese consumer products. Slow economic growth has caused household spending to 62 (weak). It is claimed that consumer downgrading is part of the 63 (explain) for the attention around Chinese brands. Since consumers have become more price-sensitive, cheap-but-decent-quality homegrown brands have boomed. Many Chinese coffee drinkers have found local chains such as Cotti or Luckin just as good as Starbucks, but often much 64 (expensive). Part of Pop Mart’s success with Labubu dolls comes from 65 (target) spenders with high-quality, “emotive” products, says Lina Yan of HSBC． 第一节（满分15分） 第一节（满分15分） 假定你是李华，你的网友Joe的家乡遭遇了洪涝灾害。请你给他写一封电子邮件，要点包括： （1）给予安慰和鼓励； （2）提供帮助。 注意： （1）写作词数应为80个左右； （2）请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Dear Joe, __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Yours sincerely, Li Hua 第二节（满分25分） 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。 A couple of months before I became a high school senior, my parents gave me the greatest gift any teenage boy could ask for: a cellphone. I lived on that phone all summer with my face buried in its screen. I ignored my family and my surroundings. Being connected was more important than being present. So, you can imagine my displeasure when I learned what my dad had planned for our family vacation that year. "This year," my dad said, "we'll be doing something special. We're going camping!" His excitement was met with a disappointed sigh. It wasn't my dream vacation because my mind was on my phone. I was so buried in the screen, in fact, that the first time I can remember truly looking up was when we drove across a bridge on the way to our campsite. I stared out the window and saw redwoods towering above us. I saw a road stretching out like a ribbon. The air blowing into the car from the open windows was hot. But none of that mattered to me. The reason I had looked up was for something far more serious: my phone no longer had service. The last hour of the drive was increasingly tense. My dad announced that he had chosen a campsite that had no cell service, and that my phone would be useless until we returned home. I would be trapped in the forest for four days with no way to contact the outside world! I went through the full cycle of teenage emotions during the first day of the trip. I raged. I bargained. I begged. I flip-flopped (转变) from a depressive state to anger and back. I went to bed angrily that night. But when I awoke in the morning, something had changed. 1. 续写词数应为150词左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Instead of burying myself in my phone, I focused on something else: my surroundings. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: The next four days passed in a flash with many fun activities. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高三年级英语期中考前练习答案 【答案解析】 A篇主题语境:人与社会——社会服务(商业促销与社区活动) 【语篇导读】本文是一篇广告/宣传类应用文。文章主要宣传一个为期5天的"自制自行车工作坊",参与者可在专业教练指导下学习组装自行车,了解零件原理与维护知识。同时提到早鸟折扣、会员优惠及企业愿景,强调其平台连接骑行者与零售商,促进骑行社区互动。 21--23.BAD 第21题.B 细节理解。解析:文章明确提到:"step-by-step instructions... guide you in building your own bike"和"expand your knowledge of bike parts, how they work and how to maintain them"。B选项(学习组装自行车的知识)与此完全吻合。 第22题.A 数字计算与细节推理。解析:课程原价:$500。3月报名享受早鸟折扣10%:$500 × 10% = $50,折后价为$450。会员额外减免$30:$450 - $30 = $420。故选A。 第23题.D 主旨推理。解析:文章结尾的"Our Vision"部分提到:"serve as a platform where cyclists... be rewarded..."和"connect cyclists and inspire them to share their experiences"。D选项(为骑行者创建互动网络)准确概括了这一长期目标。 【答案】24. C 25. D 26. B 27. B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述作者学习六种语言却难回答“会说几种语言”的问题，还以类比描述各语言掌握难度及对多语言学习的态度。 【24题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段中的“I’ve studied six, but I don’t speak six. I can’t count each language I’ve tried to learn as one, because my competence in each is different.(我学过六种语言，但我不会说六种。我不能把我尝试学习的每一种语言都算作一种，因为我在每种语言上的能力都不同。)”可知，作者认为学习语言和会说语言有很大差别，且自己对不同语言的掌握程度不同，所以难以回答该问题。故选C项。 【25题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段中的“English is like sitting, and French is like walking. I’m really good at both but obviously sitting is easier. (英语就像坐着，法语就像走路。这两样我都很擅长，但显然坐着更容易。)”以及第三段中的“I feel cheap taking credit for English—it’s effortless.(把英语说得好归功于自己，我觉得不光彩——因为它不费力。)”可知，作者掌握英语毫不费力，且将其类比为最轻松的“坐着”，由此可推断英语很可能是她的母语。故选D项。 【26题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段中的“And then there’s Greek. Well, here’s what Greek is to me: It’s running a race, with hurdles, while being hunted by a lion. I keep up or get swallowed up.(然后是希腊语。嗯，希腊语对我来说是这样的：它就像一场跨栏赛跑，同时还被一头狮子追赶。我要么跟上，要么被吞噬。)”可知，作者将说希腊语比作“被狮子追赶的跨栏赛跑”，暗示其过程充满恐惧。故选B项。 【27题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“But I am proud of the other five and of all those races I’ve run, whether I was going for distance or speed, or just trying to make it out alive.(但我为其他五种语言感到骄傲，也为我所跑过的所有“赛跑”感到骄傲，无论我是为了距离、速度，还是只是努力活下来。)”可知，作者虽认为英语能力不值一提，但为学习其他五种语言的努力感到自豪，觉得这些付出是值得的。故选B项。 C) 28．D 29．B 30．D 31．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了限制每日进食时间为8小时可能增加心脏病死亡风险的研究发现。 28．细节理解题。由文章第二段“Time-restricted eating has previously been associated with improved health conditions, but its long-term effects are unclear. To learn more, Wenze Zhong at Shanghai Jiao Tong University in China and his teammates studied about 20,000 adults, roughly half men and half women, who took part in the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. (此前，限时进食与健康状况的改善有关，但其长期影响尚不清楚。为了更深入地了解这一点，中国上海交通大学的钟文泽及其团队研究了约2万名成年人，他们大约一半是男性，一半是女性，并参与了美国国家健康与营养调查。)”可知，钟文泽的研究目的是为了发现间歇性禁食的长期影响。故选D。 29．细节理解题。由文章第三段中“Every year from 2003 to 2018, the survey’s participants self-reported dietary (饮食的) information. The researchers matched this against death records between 2003 to 2019. (从2003年到2018年，调查的参与者每年自行报告饮食信息。研究人员将这些信息与2003年至2019年的死亡记录进行了匹配。)”可知，钟文泽和他的团队通过将饮食数据与死亡记录相联系来进行研究。故选B。 30．细节理解题。由文章倒数第二段中“Among people with cancer, eating over a window of more than 16 hours was associated with a lower risk of death from cancer than a more restricted eating schedule. (在癌症患者中，超过16小时的进食窗口期与比更受限的进食计划更低的癌症死亡风险相关。)”可知，较长的进食时间窗口对某些患者（如癌症患者）来说可能是有益的。故选D。 31．主旨大意题。由最后一段“However, the study doesn’t prove that time-restricted eating caused any of these deaths. “Actually, unhealthy lifestyles may lead to heart disease. We also don’t know how healthy the foods people ate were,” says Zhong. (然而，这项研究并没有证明限时饮食导致了这些死亡。‘实际上，不健康的生活方式可能会导致心脏病。我们也不知道人们吃的食物有多健康。’)”可知，最后一段主要是关于研究的局限性。故选A。 【答案】32. D 33. C 34. A 35. B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍短视频对大脑的影响，包括“脑腐”概念、成瘾改变大脑的两种方式，以及作者提出的非完全戒断而是有意使用的解决办法。 【32题详解】词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“Oxford University Press named “brain rot” its 2024 Word of the Year — a term to describe the mental fog and cognitive (认知的) decline tied to endless video watching, which is actually changing how our brains work: it dulls focus, weakens memory, and severely disturbs decision-making.(牛津大学出版社将“脑腐”评为2024年度词汇——这个术语用来描述与无休止观看视频相关的脑雾和认知能力下降，这种情况实际上正在改变我们大脑的工作方式：它会模糊注意力、削弱记忆力，并严重干扰决策。)”可知，“脑腐”指的是与无休止观看视频相关的脑雾和认知能力下降，即心智能力的下降。故选D项。 【33题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段中的“First, short video consumption affects you by hurting your sensitivity to loss. This is the tendency to feel the pain of losing something more strongly than the pleasure of gaining something of equal value. In decision-making, this comparison acts like a protective filter (过滤器) that helps you avoid risks. It makes you think twice before making choices that could lead to negative outcomes. However, if the sensitivity to loss is reduced, you’re more likely to make risky decisions without fully considering the consequences.(首先，短视频消费会通过损害你对损失的敏感度来影响你。这是一种对失去某物的痛苦感受比对获得同等价值某物的愉悦感受更强烈的倾向。在决策过程中，这种对比就像一个保护过滤器，帮助你规避风险。它会让你在做出可能导致负面结果的选择前三思。然而，如果对损失的敏感度降低，你就更有可能在没有充分考虑后果的情况下做出冒险的决定。)”可知，对损失的敏感度原本能帮助人们规避风险、谨慎决策，而短视频消费会损害这种敏感度，导致重度用户在决策时不再充分权衡风险，进而更易做出冒险选择。其核心原因是“对损失的敏感度减弱”。故选C项。 【34题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“The fix isn’t quitting videos entirely, but intentional engagement: pause to ask, “Why use this app now?” Meanwhile, we can appreciate moments of meaningless time. We can make a habit of letting ourselves be intentionally bored, and find ways to be away from the screen.(解决办法不是完全戒掉视频，而是有意识地参与：停下来问问自己，“现在为什么要用这个应用？”同时，我们可以享受那些无意义的时光。我们可以养成让自己有意识地感到无聊的习惯，并找到远离屏幕的方法。)”可知，作者认为对短视频不是完全戒断，而是有意识、有目的的使用会更有帮助。故选A项。 【35题详解】推理判断题。通读全文，第一段通过提问引出对短视频使用的思考；第二段呈现新研究，提出“脑腐”概念并说明其影响；第三段分析研究发现，即短视频成瘾改变大脑的两种关键方式；最后一段给出实用建议，即有意识地使用短视频而非完全戒断，因此，文章结构是“呈现研究→分析发现→提供实用建议”。故选B项。 【答案】36. A 37. D 38. G 39. F 40. E 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了六种经过验证的记忆提升策略，包括建立有意义联结、间隔学习、运用视觉空间记忆、保证睡眠、借助情感联结以及主动回忆，以帮助读者高效改善记忆效果。 【36题详解】根据下文“The brain links new details to information already stored away. So the easiest way to remember anything is to make it meaningful. Meaningful information is easier to remember than random, unconnected facts. (大脑会将新信息与已储存的信息关联起来。因此，记住任何东西最简单的方法就是让它变得有意义。有意义的信息比零散、无关联的事实更容易记住。)”可知，本段强调通过建立有意义的联系来帮助记忆，A选项“Make meaningful connections (建立有意义的联系)”准确概括了本段核心策略，且其中的“meaningful connections”与下文“make it meaningful”“links new details to information already stored away”直接呼应，适合作为该策略的小标题，统领全段内容。故选A项。 【37题详解】根据上文“Meaningful information is easier to remember than random, unconnected facts. (有意义的信息比随机的、不相关的事实更容易记住。)”以及下文“This is the idea behind memorization techniques — acronyms (首字母缩略词), rhymes, or songs that create associations between new information and existing knowledge or visual imagery. (这正是记忆技巧背后的原理 —— 首字母缩略词、押韵句或歌曲，它们能在新信息与已有知识或视觉图像之间建立关联。)”可知，本空应说明对于没有内在意义的信息，如何通过人为创造意义来帮助记忆，D选项“For information without built-in meaning, creating artificial meaning helps (对于本身没有内在意义的信息，人为创造意义会有所帮助)”承接上文“有意义信息易记忆”的观点，补充说明“无意义信息”的处理方法，且“creating artificial meaning”与下文“acronyms, rhymes, or songs”等“人为创造关联的技巧”直接呼应。故选D项。 【38题详解】 根据上文“Spaced repetition involves revisiting information at increasing intervals (间隔) . (间隔重复指的是在逐渐延长的间隔时间内回顾信息。)”以及下文“Consolidating (巩固) this into long-term memory takes time and happens “offline” during rest periods.

(充足的睡眠尤为重要。)”可知，本空应说明充足睡眠对记忆巩固的作用，F选项“The brain uses this time to review what you’ve learned and store it in long-term memory (大脑会利用这段时间回顾你所学的内容，并将其储存在长期记忆中)”，解释了“睡眠重要”的原因，即睡眠时大脑会处理并储存所学知识，且“this time”指代上文“sleep”，与“巩固记忆”的主题直接呼应，补充了睡眠对记忆的具体作用。故选F项。 【40题详解】 根据本段小标题“Emotional connections (情感联结)”和上文“Memories associated with strong emotions are easier to form and maintain.

I'm writing to offer my genuine concern and sincere backup. I know that you are physically hurt. I do feel bad about this and I hope you can fully recover soon. Meanwhile, never lose heart and don't forget I am always by your side. I have been raising money and collecting useful items for you, which will be sent to you as soon as possible. Wish you all the best. And feel free to contact me if you need any more help. Yours sincerely, Li Hua 第二节 Paragraph 1: Instead of burying myself in my phone, I focused on something else: my surroundings. I let the noise of the wilderness wash over me, animals and bugs creating a ruckus that was both loud and serene at the same time. My anger turned to peace, then little interest and, finally, excitement. Standing on the high campsite, I felt the weight of stress melt from my shoulders as I viewed the vast expanse that unfolded below me. The sight that met my startled eyes nearly took my breath away. For the first time, I thought camping in a place that had no cell service might not be so bad. Paragraph 2: The next four days passed in a flash with many fun activities. I hiked. I swam. I fished. My dad and I learned how to start a fire together after several false starts. We cooked together and I ate the sweetest marshmallows I had ever tasted. Dad told me stories of his life, stories I had never heard or perhaps I hadn't been listening. When the weekend came to an end, I realized I hadn't thought of my phone once. I hadn't felt the need to be connected to anywhere else. It dawned on me that what mattered most were the moments I was sharing with just my father and nature. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
