Many concepts that are central to the human experience are abstract, such as relationships, ideas. 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 conducted 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 thana “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 appear suddenly like a light switch being turned 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 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.
24．What can we know about metaphors according to the study
A．They may lead to conflicts between 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 Isaac 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 lightbulb 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.
C
Paris embraces the Olympic spirit with a burst of creativity, as nearly 30 colorful street art pieces have transformed the city into an open-air gallery. These artworks, capturing scenes such as the dynamic French fence r Ysaora Thibus and the calm boaters on the Seine River, have made a lasting impression on people.
Street 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 spaces 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. Despite their differences, both the Olympic spirit and the world of art share a common platform of values that celebrate the pursuit（追求）of excellence, encouraging individuals to reach their highest potential. 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 International Olympic Committee ended the competitions in the 1948 Games. Now, the spirit of the Olympics is reflected in the street art that brightens every corner of Paris. “Artists are like athletes. They also require a lot of effort and determination.” said JonOne, who is a pioneer of street art. “I respect athletes in basketball and runners. Art is not really a sport, but it should be included in the Olympics. Just surviving as an artist is an Olympic sport.”
28．What can be inferred from Paragraph 2
A．All the Olympic events are held in Paris.
B．Street art encourages cooperation between artists.
C．Street art contributes to strengthening social connection.
D．Street artists come to France to participate in the Olympic events.
29．What do we know about the Olympics and street art according to the passage
A．They have strict standards to follow.
B．They reflect the creativity of communities.
C．They don’t attach importance to creativity or innovation.
D．They not only have differences but also have common points.
30．Which of the following statements will JonOne agree with
A．Athletes are easier to gain success than artists.
B．People should integrate art with the Olympic Games.
C．Athletes deserve more respect from people than artists.
D．Art motivates many Olympic athletes to pursue their full potential.
31．What is the best title for the text
A．Street Art Adds Color To the Olympics
B．Street Art Centers Around Olympic Events
C．The Olympics Bring Art Into People’s Daily Life
D．The Olympic Games Globalize Street Artists’ Fame
D
Some of the world’s most important scientists 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 be safe.” he said. Robert Zubrin, a rocket scientist, agrees and thinks starting with Mars makes the most sense. He thinks sending people to Mars will allow us to learn a lot— for example, about the ability of humans to live in a very different environment.
However, scientists will need to terraform 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 average temperature there is about - 60 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 rainfall and the growth of plants, resulting in more air that people can breathe.
Another big concern for scientists is whether humans can 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 1,200-square-foot room that was on the side of a volcano and used the sun for energy. Christian e Heinicke, one of the people who lived there, said that one of the biggest issues was feeling bored. So humans on Mars would always need to keep themselves busy with various activities. Another important finding was that people living together should be able to get along and work together.
One particular organization based in Europe is planning to send the first humans to Mars before2030．The organization believes that its project is giving people worldwide the chance to be part of the first human crew ever to live on Mars for good. However, many experts think the project’s cost of USS6 million is too low for it to be successful. The American space agency NASA believes that sending people to Mars would cost about USS100 million, although 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 believe.
32．What’s Robert Zubrin’s attitude to humans living on Mars
A．Skeptical. B．Ambiguous. C．Favourable. D．Intolerant.
33．What does the underlined word “terraform” mean
A．Building homes on the planet.
B．Transforming the planet into Earth.
C．Sending people to the planet from Earth.
D．Making the planet’s environment similar to Earth’s.
34．Why did scientists conduct a test in Hawaii
A．To learn about the local customs.
B．To find ways to terraform Mars.
C．To confirm one of their concerns.
D．To prove Stephen Hawking’s belief wrong.
35．What conclusion can we draw about human living on Mars according to the author
A．Humans’ living on Mars is impossible.
B．Humans’ living on Mars is probably practical.
C．Humans’ living on Mars will become a reality in 2030．
D．Humans’ living on Mars has met with many experts’ challenges.

应用文: The possible version
Dear fellow students.
With the development of modern industry and the change of people’s lifestyles, our ecological environment is becoming increasingly worse. It’s high time we took action to protect our ecological environment, otherwise we may soon have nowhere to live.
Firstly, turn off lights and other electrical appliances when they are not in use to conserve electricity. Secondly, when going out, we should choose to walk, to ride a bike or to take public transportation instead of driving a car. Lastly, reusing paper or bottles and resisting using plastic bags are also highly recommended.
These simple actions can significantly contribute to a low-carbon lifestyle. Let us work together to create a green and harmonious environment.

She stood in front of a mirror and practiced. “You can do it,” she told herself when drowsiness（昏昏欲睡）fell upon her.
The next day Mary again walked to the front of the classroom to give her presentation. She nervously lowered her head and averted her gaze, feeling numb for a few seconds. But courage found its way back the moment she caught sight of the red ribbon on her forted and inspired, she took a deep breath, summoned up her courage, and said “Dear fellow students.” Mary cast a glance at Mr. Brown who was standing in the corner and smiling at her.

Many concepts that are central to the human experience are abstract, such as relationships, ideas. 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 conducted 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 thana “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 appear suddenly like a light switch being turned 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 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.
24．What can we know about metaphors according to the study
A．They may lead to conflicts between 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 Isaac 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 lightbulb 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.
C
Paris embraces the Olympic spirit with a burst of creativity, as nearly 30 colorful street art pieces have transformed the city into an open-air gallery. These artworks, capturing scenes such as the dynamic French fence r Ysaora Thibus and the calm boaters on the Seine River, have made a lasting impression on people.
Street 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 spaces 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. Despite their differences, both the Olympic spirit and the world of art share a common platform of values that celebrate the pursuit（追求）of excellence, encouraging individuals to reach their highest potential. 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 International Olympic Committee ended the competitions in the 1948 Games. Now, the spirit of the Olympics is reflected in the street art that brightens every corner of Paris. “Artists are like athletes. They also require a lot of effort and determination.” said JonOne, who is a pioneer of street art. “I respect athletes in basketball and runners. Art is not really a sport, but it should be included in the Olympics. Just surviving as an artist is an Olympic sport.”
28．What can be inferred from Paragraph 2
A．All the Olympic events are held in Paris.
B．Street art encourages cooperation between artists.
C．Street art contributes to strengthening social connection.
D．Street artists come to France to participate in the Olympic events.
29．What do we know about the Olympics and street art according to the passage
A．They have strict standards to follow.
B．They reflect the creativity of communities.
C．They don’t attach importance to creativity or innovation.
D．They not only have differences but also have common points.
30．Which of the following statements will JonOne agree with
A．Athletes are easier to gain success than artists.
B．People should integrate art with the Olympic Games.
C．Athletes deserve more respect from people than artists.
D．Art motivates many Olympic athletes to pursue their full potential.
31．What is the best title for the text
A．Street Art Adds Color To the Olympics
B．Street Art Centers Around Olympic Events
C．The Olympics Bring Art Into People’s Daily Life
D．The Olympic Games Globalize Street Artists’ Fame
D
Some of the world’s most important scientists 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 be safe.” he said. Robert Zubrin, a rocket scientist, agrees and thinks starting with Mars makes the most sense. He thinks sending people to Mars will allow us to learn a lot— for example, about the ability of humans to live in a very different environment.
However, scientists will need to terraform 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 average temperature there is about - 60 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 rainfall and the growth of plants, resulting in more air that people can breathe.
Another big concern for scientists is whether humans can 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 1,200-square-foot room that was on the side of a volcano and used the sun for energy. Christian e Heinicke, one of the people who lived there, said that one of the biggest issues was feeling bored. So humans on Mars would always need to keep themselves busy with various activities. Another important finding was that people living together should be able to get along and work together.
One particular organization based in Europe is planning to send the first humans to Mars before2030．The organization believes that its project is giving people worldwide the chance to be part of the first human crew ever to live on Mars for good. However, many experts think the project’s cost of USS6 million is too low for it to be successful. The American space agency NASA believes that sending people to Mars would cost about USS100 million, although 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 believe.
32．What’s Robert Zubrin’s attitude to humans living on Mars
A．Skeptical. B．Ambiguous. C．Favourable. D．Intolerant.
33．What does the underlined word “terraform” mean
A．Building homes on the planet.
B．Transforming the planet into Earth.
C．Sending people to the planet from Earth.
D．Making the planet’s environment similar to Earth’s.
34．Why did scientists conduct a test in Hawaii
A．To learn about the local customs.
B．To find ways to terraform Mars.
C．To confirm one of their concerns.
D．To prove Stephen Hawking’s belief wrong.
35．What conclusion can we draw about human living on Mars according to the author
A．Humans’ living on Mars is impossible.
B．Humans’ living on Mars is probably practical.
C．Humans’ living on Mars will become a reality in 2030．
D．Humans’ living on Mars has met with many experts’ challenges.

应用文: The possible version
Dear fellow students.
With the development of modern industry and the change of people’s lifestyles, our ecological environment is becoming increasingly worse. It’s high time we took action to protect our ecological environment, otherwise we may soon have nowhere to live.
Firstly, turn off lights and other electrical appliances when they are not in use to conserve electricity. Secondly, when going out, we should choose to walk, to ride a bike or to take public transportation instead of driving a car. Lastly, reusing paper or bottles and resisting using plastic bags are also highly recommended.
These simple actions can significantly contribute to a low-carbon lifestyle. Let us work together to create a green and harmonious environment.

She imagined the scene where Mom had tried her best to overcome her fears and picked up the courage to deliver a fantastic speech to the audience. Realizing Mary’s anxiety, Mom reassured her and reached out her hand to tie the red ribbon onto Mary’s wrist with a smile. Restored and determined, Mary gritted（咬紧牙关）her teeth to find her courage. She stood in front of a mirror and practiced. “You can do it,” she told herself when drowsiness（昏昏欲睡）fell upon her.
The next day Mary again walked to the front of the classroom to give her presentation. She nervously lowered her head and averted her gaze, feeling numb for a few seconds. But courage found its way back the moment she caught sight of the red ribbon on her forted and inspired, she took a deep breath, summoned up her courage, and said “Dear fellow students.” Mary cast a glance at Mr. Brown who was standing in the corner and smiling at her. A self-reassuring smile spread across Mary’s face. She knew for sure that she had now found her courage.
