Another example is the lightbulb(灯泡) metaphor commonly used to describe new ideas，suggesting that new thoughts appear suddenly like a light switch being turned on.However，this metaphor implies that new ideas come effortlessly and are accessible only to a 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 new ideas，and as a behavioral consequence，people may underestimate the role of hard work and continuous learning in bringing about change. An alternative way to describe ideas is by comparing new thoughts to seeds that fall on fertile ground and—if cared for—will grow and develop over time.Different from the lightbulb metaphor，the seed metaphor implies an understanding that generating new ideas is a laborious process，which requires time and effort.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 metaphorical minds，it is worth asking：are our metaphors suitable？We owe it to ourselves and others to use metaphors appropriately.These choices—conscious or not—can be constructive or destructive. 语篇解读　这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了比喻在生活中的应用及其带来的影响。 1．What does the study find about metaphors? A．They make language more poetic. B．They help clarify abstract concepts. C．They may cause conflicts between people. D．They can shape people’s minds and behavior. 答案　D 解析　细节理解题。根据第二段中“A study conducted at Purchase College found that metaphors can frame people’s perspectives，thereby shaping their reasoning and subsequent actions.”可知，比喻可以塑造人们的思想和行为。故选D。 2．What does the underlined word “underestimate” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A．Realize. B．Overlook. C．Emphasize. D．Acknowledge. 答案　B 解析　词义猜测题。根据第三段可知，作者在本段阐述灯泡比喻，利用牛顿的例子来表达灯泡比喻会使人过分强调天赋、对自己的能力产生怀疑，相应地对勤奋努力的价值则有所忽视、低估。因此推断画线词与overlook意思相近。故选B。 3．How does the seed metaphor differ from the lightbulb metaphor? A．It stresses the importance of natural talent. B．It indicates consistent efforts of individuals. C．It simplifies the process of cultivating new ideas. D．It leads to people’s doubt about their creativity. 答案　B 解析　细节理解题。根据第四段中“Different from the lightbulb metaphor，the seed metaphor implies an understanding that generating new ideas is a laborious process，which requires time and effort.It also suggests that anybody can be the cultivator of ideas as long as they put their mind to it.”可知，将一粒种子培育成才需要长期的关注和养护，即只要用心，任何人都可以成为想法的培育者。种子比喻的显著特征是它表明了个人的持续努力。故选B。 4．What is the purpose of the last paragraph? A．To call on people to use metaphors properly. B．To present the potential limitations of metaphors. C．To reveal the difficulty of understanding metaphors. D．To urge people to reflect on the concept of innovation. 答案　A 解析　写作意图题。根据最后一段中“Given the nature of our metaphorical minds，it is worth asking：are our metaphors suitable？We owe it to ourselves and others to use metaphors appropriately.These choices—conscious or not—can be constructive or destructive.”可知，作者在最后一段提出问题，告诫读者要恰当合理地使用比喻，显然目的是呼吁人们正确使用比喻。故选A。 B (2025·山东潍坊高二上期中) At the age of 75，the Italian female traveler Vienna，inspired by Marco Polo as her spiritual model，measured the vast expanse of China’s land with her own feet，painting a vivid picture of cultural exchanges across time and space. Her heart was filled with a thirst for the unknown world and a longing for Chinese culture.This feeling came from a chance encounter with a Beijing-based international student over two decades ago，and it got stronger upon reading the vivid descriptions in The Travels of Marco Polo.The Ancient Silk Road described in the book served as a link between the East and the West，connecting Vienna’s dreams with reality. In her pursuit of Marco Polo’s footsteps，Vienna encountered loneliness，tiredness，and even life-threatening situations.An encounter with wild dogs in a foreign land left her injured，forcing her to halt her journey for the time being.However，these hardships did not threaten her.Instead，they served as precious trials that made her value each encounter with different cultures even more. While tracing Marco Polo’s footsteps，Vienna also researched deeply into Chinese culture.She visited various Confucius Institutes，engaging in exchanges and learning with local students，therefore gaining a deep understanding of the virtues of “benevolence” and “harmony” containing in Confucianism.To Vienna，both Marco Polo and Confucius were great figures who promoted world peace and exchange.Marco Polo promoted cultural exchange and integration between the East and the West through trade and observation，while Confucius advocated harmony among people with his deep thoughts.Despite being separated by a thousand years，they resonated amazingly in Vienna’s journey. “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step” got new meaning in Vienna’s travels.With her actions，she explained the meaning of this saying—no matter how remote the dream may seem，one can surely reach the destination of one’s heart by bravely taking the first step and pushing forward in one’s journey. 语篇解读　这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了75岁的意大利女性徒步旅行家维娜，受马可·波罗的精神鼓舞，用自己的双脚丈量中国广袤的土地，描绘了一幅跨越时空的文化交流画卷。 5．What increased Vienna’s desire for Chinese culture? A．Her childhood dream. B．A student from Beijing. C．The Travels of Marco Polo. D．Interest in the outside world. 答案　C 解析　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“This feeling came from a chance encounter with a Beijing-based international student over two decades ago，and it got stronger upon reading the vivid descriptions in The Travels of Marco Polo.”可知，《马可·波罗游记》增加了维娜对中国文化的渴望。故选C。 6．What does the underlined word “halt” probably mean in paragraph 3? A．Stop. B．Record. C．Complete. D．Arrange. 答案　A 解析　词义猜测题。根据画线词上文“An encounter with wild dogs in a foreign land left her injured”以及后文“for the time being”可知，维娜受了伤，应该暂时停止了旅行。故画线词的意思是“停止”。故选A。 7．What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A．Marco Polo’s great contributions. B．The importance of cultural exchange. C．The huge influence of Confucianism. D．Vienna’s new insight into Chinese culture. 答案　D 解析　段落大意题。根据第四段内容可知，维娜深入研究了中国文化，访问了各种孔子学院，与当地学生进行交流和学习，因此对“仁”和“和谐”的儒家美德有了深刻理解。因此，本段主要讲了维娜对中国文化的新认识。故选D。 8．Which of the following best describes Vienna? A．Creative and honest. B．Ambitious and determined. C．Considerate and modest. D．Responsible and generous. 答案　B 解析　推理判断题。根据第一段内容可知，维娜受马可·波罗的精神鼓舞，用自己的双脚丈量中国广袤的土地，由此可知，她是有抱负的。再根据第三段可知，维娜虽然遇到了孤独、疲惫、甚至生命威胁，但她不畏艰难，勇敢前行，说明她有坚定的决心。故选B。 Ⅱ.完形填空(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) (2025·浙江绍兴高二上期末) I participated in an exchange program where a Spanish student came to live in my home for a few weeks and then I went to live in hers in Spain.I was somewhat 1 but mostly excited about the coming experience.
