(研究小组把小象带了进来，不断地照顾它，但Themba很伤心，吃不下东西。)”可知，因为 Themba失去了亲人，过于悲伤，所以开始它拒绝进食。故选C。【22题详解】细节理解题。根据最后一段“Koko took
38、care of All Ball as if it were a baby gorilla, and would appear distressed when parted from it. (Koko把All Ball当作一只大猩猩幼崽来照顾，当它离开时，它会显得很痛苦。)”可知，Koko与All Ball之间建立了亲密的关系；由此可知，选项A的描述正确。故选A。【23题详解】推理判断题。阅读文章内容，并根据第一段“While it remains debatable whether animals really feel what we call love, hate and happin

49、刚做完手术，休养了六个月。更糟糕的是，作为一个带着三个孩子的单身母亲，我没有地方住。我感到绝望)”可知，作者刚进入演员行业时穷困潦倒，从未想过能取得成功，所以那个时候她是悲观的。故选C项。【25题详解】推理判断题。阅读第三段和第四段作者买房的经历，尤其根据第四段结尾“But I had enough self-confidence without following common sense.(但我没有遵循常识，也有足够的自信)”以及第五段开头“After getting the house, my new self-confidence grew.

75、drugs are being used “off-label” Just because a drug is FDA-approved for a specific type of disease does not prevent it from having possible benefits for other purposes.”（如果医生开出的药物是经食品和药物管理局(FDA)批准的，其目的与标签上的目的不同，那么这些药物就被“标示外”使用了，仅仅因为一种药物被FDA批准用于特定类型的疾病并不妨碍它在其他用途上可能产生的益处。）可知，“标示外”药物的用途超出了原来的用途。故选C。【3
76、3题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第二段“the drugs are being used “off-label” Just because a drug is FDA-approved for a specific type of disease does not prevent it from having possible benefits for other purposes.”（这些药物被“标示外”使用，仅仅因为一种药物被FDA批准用于某种特定类型的疾病，并不妨碍它在其他用途上可能有好处。）和文章第三段“For example, Metformin, a drug that is FDA

AI deep learning is well-suited to find patterns in the complexity of potentially thousands of confounders.

87、一情况得到了改善。【36题详解】根据上文“When I decided to leave my home country to pursue a degree in Canada, I hadnt expected that communication would be an issue.(当我决定离开祖国去加拿大攻读学位时，我并没有想到沟通会成为一个问题)”以及后文“I took English lessons in my teens and scored well on English tests.(我十几岁的时候上过英语课，在英语考试中成绩很好)”可知，上文提到作者要去加拿大读书，后文又
88、提到作者十几岁时英语成绩很好，说明作者一开始觉得自己英语没问题，在加拿大沟通不成问题。故C选项“我原以为我能用英语很容易地表达自己”符合语境，故选C。【37题详解】根据上文“But soon after my arrival in Canada, I realized how wrong I was. In research discussions, surrounded by native English speakers, I had to be careful. I needed to consciously follow each conversation and translate
89、it to my native language.(但在我到达加拿大后不久，我意识到我错得有多离谱。在研究讨论中，周围都是英语为母语的人，我必须小心。我需要有意识地跟上每一次对话，并把它翻译成我的母语)”以及后文“Finally, I tried to find the right English words to communicate that response. Constantly thinking about what I would say next, I had a hard time remaining focused in conversations.(最后，我试图用正确的英
90、语表达这一回答。我一直在想我接下来要说什么，很难在谈话中集中注意力)”可知，上文提到作者每次听到英语时要先在脑海里翻译成母语，再进行回答，E选项中a response对应后文中that response。故E选项“然后，我必须仔细地考虑一下，并想个回答”符合语境，故选E。【38题详解】根据上文“But when I again failed to say exactly what I meant in a meeting a few months later, a simple idea occurred to me.(但几个月后的一次会议上，我又一次没能说清楚我的意思，这时我想到了一个简单的
91、主意)”以及后文“Communicating with my colleagues by e-mail, I had more time to think and comfortably express my thoughts. Over time, this practice helped improve my English significantly.(通过电子邮件与我的同事交流，我有更多的时间去思考和舒服地表达我的想法。久而久之，这种练习让我的英语有了很大的提高)”可知，本句应承接上文说明这个主意是什么，结合后文作者写电子邮件，可推测作者想出的办法是通过书面形式而非口语，进行参与讨论。
92、故B选项“为什么不以书面形式参与讨论？”符合语境，故选B。【39题详解】根据后文“I decided to remind them that English is not my first language. I asked them to speak more slowly to help me follow the discussions. It was a little awkward to draw attention to what might be seen as a weakness. And at first, the other members of the research
93、 team seemed slightly surprised.(我决定提醒他们英语不是我第一语言。我让他们说得慢一点，帮助我跟上讨论。让别人注意到可能被视为弱点的东西有点尴尬。一开始，研究小组的其他成员似乎有点惊讶)”可知，后文提到作者主动提醒他人英语不是自己的第一语言，让别人说得慢一点，即对同事坦白自己的缺点，A选项中colleagues对应后文中them。故A选项“另外，我学会了对同事开诚布公”符合语境，故选A。【40题详解】根据上文“But the dynamics quickly improved. They seemed to become more aware of how th
94、ey were speaking, and I felt more comfortable joining in the conversation.(但情况很快得到了改善。他们似乎更清楚自己在说什么，我也更自在地加入了他们的谈话)”可知，本句为本段最后一句，上文提到作者和同事的沟通情况有了改善，说明在他们双方的努力下，作者也在逐渐克服语言障碍。故F选项“通过双方的努力，我们可以克服语言障碍”符合语境，故选F。第三部分 英语知识运用 (共两节，满分 45 分) 第一节 完形填空(共 20 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 30 分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C 和 D)中
