An academic article. Many concepts that are central to the human experience are abstract, such as relationships, ideas, B. and time - things we can't directly see or touch. We commonly use concrete language to talk and think about these things, often through metaphors (隐喻). Using metaphors is far more than a poetic device of factual statements. A study eonducted at Purchase College found that metaphors can frame people's perspectives, thereby shaping their reasoning and subsequent actions. For example, describing the effort to stop climate change as a "war" rather than a"race" caused people to feel more urgency about reducing emissions. Another example is the lightbulb(灯 泡) metaphor commonly used to describe new ideas. suggesting that new thoughts appcar suddenly like a hght switch being urned on. However, this metaphor implies that new ideas come effortlessly and are accessible only to a select few geniuses, such as Isaac Newton, who supposedly developed his theory of gravity from a sudden insight about a falling apple. It may lead people to question their capability to generate news ideas, and as a behaviora! consequence. people may underestimate the role of hard work and continuous learning in bringing about chango. An alternative way to describe ideas is by eomparing new thoughts to seeds that fall on fertile ground and - if cared for - will grow and develop over time. Different from the lightbulb metaphor. 高三英语试卷(共8期)第3页 3 the seed mctaphor implies an understanding that generating new ideas is a laborious process, which requires time and efort. It also suggests that anybody can be the cultivator of ideas as long as they put their mind to it. The subtle effects of metaphors show how powerful language can be, even though we often don't realize it. Who'd have thought a simple use of a lightbulb metaphor could profoundly affect how we understand the concept of innovation? Given the nature of our mctaphorical minds, it is worth asking: are our mctaphors suitable? We owe it to ourselves and others to use metaphors appropriately. These choices- conscious or not -can be eonstructive or destructive. 24. What can we know about metaphors according to the study? A. They may lead to conflicts hetween people. B. They can shape people's minds and behavior C. They make language more poetic and meaningful. D. They contribute to clarify abstract concepts further 25. Why does the author mention Isaae Newton in Paragraph 3? A. Because Isaac Newton invented the lightbulb. B. Because celebrities are more popular with people C. Because the author means to explain the hghtbulb metaphor further D. Because the author intends to show the lightbulb metaphor is superior to the seed metaphor 26. What is the distinguishing feature of the seed metaphor? A. It indicates consistent efforts of individuals. B. It emphasizes the importance of natural talent. C. It leads to people's doubt about their own creativity D. It undervalues the part of people's hard work in causing changes 27. What is the purpose of the last paragraph? A. To present the potential limitations of metaphors. B. To reveal the difficulty of understanding metaphors. C. To urge people to reflect on the strengths of metaphors D. To call on people to use metaphors properly in daily work and life 。 Paris embraces the Olympic spirit with a burst of creativity, as nearly 30 colorful stree art pieces have transformed the city into an open-air gallery. These artworks, capturing scenes such as the dynamic French fencer Ysaora Thibus and the calm boaters on the Seine River, have made a lasting impression on people. Stree artists come from different countries. Their pieces not only capture the essence of Parisian life, from the busy coffee shops to the charming bookstores, but also extend to airports in Lille, Lyon. and Marseille. These cities are co-hosting some of the Olympic events. Street art bridges the gap between high culture and everyday life, making art accessible to everyone. It promotes shared appreciation, inspiring conversations in public spuaces like subway stations and airports and encouraging interaction among people of different backgrounds. The Olympics follow strict guidelines and show national spirit, while street art is freer and shows many different cultures from the community.

Creativity and innovation are central to both. driving artists to create with every brushstroke and athletes to excel in every performance as they both explore new heights of achievement. Art competitions first appeared at the Olympics in 1912 in Stockholm, with medals awarded in five categories: architecture, literature, music, painting and sculpture. However, the Intemational Olympic Committee ended the competitions in the 1948 Games. Now, the spirit of the Olympics is reflected in the street art that brightens every comer of Paris."Artists are like athietes. They also require a lot of 高三英语认春(共8页)第4页 effort and determination," said lonOne, who is a pioneer of street art."I respect athietes in basketball and runners.

The Olympie Games Globalize Street Artists' Fame D Some of the world's most important seientists think the idea of people living on the Mars will come true one day. Stephen Hawking believed that humans must move into space to survive, "Once we spread out into space and establish independent resident areas, our future should he safe," he said. Robert 乙ubrin, a rocket seientist, agrees and thinks starting with Mars makes the most sense. He thinks sending people to Mars will allow us to leam a lot-for example, about the ability of humans to live in a very different environment. However, scientists will need to terrform Mars for people to be able to live. Then why and how can we terraform Mars? One of the main goals of terraforming Mars is to warm it up because the averaze temperature there ia about -6o degrees centigrade. One idea for warming Mars is to build factories there that produce green gases. This could take many centuries. However, it should lead to rninfall and the growth of plants, resulting in more air that people can hreathe. Another big concem for scientists is whether humans ean move to Mars and still stay healthy in mind and body, As a test, six people lived in a Mars-like environment in Hawaii for a year before “returning to Earth" recently. It was a 1.2oo-square-foot room that was on the side of a volcano and used the sun for energy, Christinne Heinicke, one of the people who lived there, said that one of the various activities. Another important finding was that people living together should be able to get along biggest issues was feeling hored. So humans on Mars would always need to keep themselves busy with ard work together. One particular organization based in Europe is planning to send the first humans to Mars before 2030. The organization believes that its project is giving people woridwide the chance to be part of the first human crew ever to live on Mars fot good. However, many experts think the projeet's cost of USs6 million is too low for it to he successful. The American space agency NASA believes that sending people to Mars would cost about UsS1o0 million, aithough this estimate is based on bringing them back to Earth, too. Regardless, it seems that humans living on Mars may well happen a lot sooner than most people:beliee. 高三英语认卷(共8页)第5页 1n 32. What's Robert 乙ubrin's attude to humans living on Mars? C. Favourable A.
