C&D 1
（24-25高三上·广东深圳·阶段练习）Growing up, Roberto S. Luciani had hints that his brain worked differently than most people. He didn’t relate when people complained about a movie character looking different than what they’d pictured from the book, for instance.
But it wasn’t until he was a teenager that things finally clicked. His mother had just woken up and was telling him about a dream she had. “Movielike,” is how she described it. “I asked her what she meant and quickly realized my visual imagery was not functioning like hers.” That’s because Luciani has a condition called aphantasia - an inability to picture objects, people and scenes in his mind. When he was growing up, the term didn’t even exist.
But now, Luciani, a cognitive scientist at the University of Glasgow, and other scientists are getting a clearer picture of how some brains work, including those with a blind mind’s eye.
In a recent study, Luciani and colleagues explored the connections between the senses, in this case, hearing and seeing. In most of our brains, these two senses collaborate. Auditory information influences activity in brain areas that handle vision. But in people with aphantasia, this connection isn’t as strong, researchers report November 4 in Current Biology. While in a brain scanner, blindfolded people listened to three sound scenes: A forest full of birds, a crowd of people, and a street bustling with traffic. In 10 people without aphantasia, these auditory scenes create reliable neural hallmarks in parts of the visual cortex (视觉皮层). But in 23 people with aphantasia, these hallmarks were weaker.
The results highlight the range of brain organizations, says cognitive neuroscientist Lars Muckli, also of the University of Glasgow. “Imagine the brain has an interconnectedness that comes in different strengths,” Muckli says. At one end of the spectrum (图谱) are people with synesthesia (共感), for whom sounds and sights are tightly mingled. “In the midrange, you experience the mind’s eye - knowing something is not real, but sounds can trigger some images in your mind. And then you have aphantasia,” he says. “Sounds don’t trigger any visual experience, not even a faint one.”
The results help explain how brains of people with and without aphantasia differ, and they also give clues about brains more generally, Muckli says. “The senses of the brain are more interconnected than our textbooks tell us.”

（24-25高三上·湖南益阳·期末）Have you ever joyously stepped out to your backyard garden, freshly brewed coffee in hand, only to find your cared-for plants and herbs wilted (枯萎的) and dying Was the soil too dry Did pests find their way in During times like these, some frustrated gardeners may wish their fickle ficus (榕树) would just tell them what it needs. A new Microsoft-partnered project in the UK is trying to see if that concept can be demonstrated in the real-world.
Next year, the Royal Horticultural Society in England will show off an “intelligent garden” that uses an AI model to monitor the garden’s environment and inform gardeners when it needs care. Visitors can ask the AI-powered garden questions. The model could then respond with phrases like “I need a bit more water,” or “I could use a haircut” depending on data captured in the soil.
The technical components of the garden are the product of a partnership between AIstart-up Avande and Microsoft. The garden relies on a network of sensors nestled throughout the garden measuring environmental factors like soil moisture, alkalinity (碱度), and nutrient levels as well as wind and projected rainfall. All of that data is then sent to a specially designed AI model at the back of the garden. The model, powered by Microsoft’s Azure Open AI Service, can then analyze those factors and inform gardeners on best feeding, watering, or trimming.
In theory, insights provided by models like this one could help gardeners allocate resources efficiently and avoid over-watering plants before rainfall, both of which can aid in sustainability efforts. Those tools could be a welcome convenience for casual growers or businesses looking to reduce costs. It’s unclear, however, whether even the best models can account for something abnormal and individual plant tendencies with the same level of care as experienced gardeners.
Several currently available apps also use AI to help gardeners identify unknown plants by comparing a photo of them against a large online database. But as past reporting has shown,simply trusting an AI to tell you whether a plant or fungi of unknown origin is safe to eat isn’t wise, and could have dangerous results.
5．What will AI be used to do in gardening according to the text
A．Look after the plants in place of gardeners.
B．Help the gardeners interact with the plants.
C．Improve the condition of soil in the garden.
D．Design the environmentally-friendly gardens.
6．What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A．How the intelligent garden works.
B．Why the intelligent garden is popular.
C．How the intelligent garden was invented.
D．What advantages the intelligent garden has.
7．What does the underlined word insights mean in paragraph 4
A．Experience. B．Data. C．Methods. D．Tests.
8．What is the author’s attitude toward AI’s use in gardening
A．Unclear. B．Approving. C．Objective. D．Negative.
C&D 3
（24-25高三上·天津·期末）I’ve considered that fire is our first technology. Its profound and trans-formative impact is still powerful. Prometheus (a god of fire in ancient Greek stories) stole fire from the gods to benefit humanity and disrupted (打乱) the original order to challenge authority. Artificial intelligence (AI) emerges as a modern Prometheus. AI has, in a sense, “stolen” knowledge or rather, made accessible vast amounts of information and insights previously beyond our reach. This act has paved the way for new human achievements, indicating an era of exceptional cognitive (认知的) expansion and controversy.
On the one hand, AI has made knowledge widely accessible, broken down barriers to information access, and fueled innovation in every field. AI’s contribution to human progress is obvious. In the meantime, AI’s “theft” of knowledge comes with its own set of challenges and ethical (道德的) dilemmas. The disruption it brings can be seen in job losses, privacy concerns, and the unsettling changes it brings to societal norms. The very act of AI obtaining and processing vast amounts of data raises questions about security and the ethical use of information.
So AI challenges us to rethink our relationship with technology and its role in society. As we cast a light at the crossroads of technology and humanity, it is urgent to balance the flame of AI with a commitment to responsible management. In doing so, we can make the most of the full potential of this Promethean gift, ensuring that it serves as a lighthouse of progress and enlightenment, rather than a source of unchecked disruption for you and me.
Despite these challenges, AI’s role in our modern society is eminent. It’s similar to that of a partner in human creativity and problem-solving. It takes on the laborious tasks of data analysis and pattern recognition, freeing human minds so that they can engage in higher-order thinking and creative pursuits. This cooperation between humans and AI is fostering a new age of innovation — a cognitive age — where the boundaries of what can be achieved are constantly being redefined.
9．AI is compared to Prometheus in Paragraph 1 to stress that AI_________.
A．helps people to succeed easily B．stands up for ordinary people
C．brings forth earthshaking changes D．challenges traditional knowledge
10．What is primarily implied about AI in Paragraph 2
A．It is a double-edged sword. B．It is the driving force behind creativity.
C．Its cognitive ability needs improvement. D．Its advantages outweigh the potential drawbacks.
11．What is a must in order to maximize AI’s beneficial impact
A．Adopting an open and tolerant mindset.
B．Carrying out effective regulation and management.
C．Ensuring cross-cultural cooperation in AI development.
D．Prioritizing ethical considerations over technological advances.
12．What does the underlined word “eminent” in the last paragraph mean
A．Significant. B．Traditional. C．Conflicting. D．Complicated.
13．What is the author’s general attitude towards AI’s role in our society
A．Concerned. B．Pessimistic. C．Indifferent. D．Positive.
C&D 4
（24-25高三上·湖北·期末）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.
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, thus 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 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 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.
14．What does the study find about metaphors
A．They help clarify abstract concepts. B．They may cause some misunderstanding.
C．They make language more poetic and vivid. D．They can influence people’s minds and behavior.
15．Why is the example of “lightbulb metaphor” quoted in paragraph 3
A．To raise some doubt about metaphors. B．To highlight improper use of metaphors.
C．To illustrate poetic functions of metaphors. D．To demonstrate the influence of metaphors.
16．How does the “seed metaphor” differ from the “lightbulb metaphor”
A．It suggests consistent efforts of individuals. B．It attaches great significance to natural talent.
C．It arouses people’s awareness of their creativity. D．It simplifies the process of generating new ideas.
17．What is author’s attitude towards the use of metaphors
A．Doubtful. B．Positive. C．Cautious. D．Ambiguous.
C&D 5
（24-25高三上·江苏·阶段练习）Feeling discouraged after a favorite show ends is common, and it even has an unofficial term: post-series depression (PSD). Rita Kottasz, a marketing professor at Kingston University, defines PSD as “a feeling of emptiness and upset when something you love finishes”. This applies to TV shows, books, or video games, creating a desire for more.
The concept of PSD gained popularity on social media and fan blogs in the mid-2010s, particularly during the Golden Age of TV. Kottasz prefers not to use the term PSD, instead calling it “consumer saudade”, a Portuguese word meaning nostalgic (怀旧的) longing. However, a journal editor convinced her to use PSD due to its established use outside of research.
Kottasz and her colleagues published a 15-item classification scale for PSD based on interviews with fans who felt sad after their favorite things mon emotions included frustration, disappointment, sadness, and emptiness. Some fans even felt that life was less complete or that they had lost “best friends”.
While PSD is often associated with TV shows, Kottasz is exploring its connection to other media, such as the abrupt break of K-pop band BTS (防弹少年团) and novels like Harry Potter. Younger people are more affected than older ones, partially due to on-demand streaming and constant new content pushes from businesses like Netflix.
Contrary to popular belief, binge-watching does not seem to trigger PSD．Instead, long-term consumption may be a factor. Kottasz thinks watching a show over several seasons or reading novels across many years strengthens a person’s relationship to the characters. In her 2019 paper, she cites a Harry Potter devotee who started reading the series at age 9 and was “cruelly left behind’ after the final book and film released years later.
But it isn’t quite as simple as saying the end of a show or novel controls our emotional state. Brian Kong, a Chicago-based psychologist, is concerned that PSD might imply a causal relationship between low moods and a program’s end. Instead, he says that when viewers feel lasting negativity, TV consumption might be acting as an anesthetic(麻醉剂) for a deeper psychological issue, like how some people with anxiety or depression drink alcohol. Put another way, the low mood already existed, and watching the series only masked it.
18．Which of the following is a common reaetion among fans experiencing PSD
A．A fresh sense of purpose for life. B．A deep satisfaction after the show.
C．A great sense of loss of best friends. D．A strong desire for a new hobby
19．What does the underlined word “binge-watching” in Paragraph 5 mean
A．Reviewing every detail of a TV show day and night.
B．Watching some episodes of a TV show in one sitting.
C．Following the episodes of a TV show for a long duration.
D．Reading a book series while watching the TV adaptation.
20．What does Brian Kong imply in the last paragraph
A．PSD covers up a deeper psychological issue.
B．Viewers with negativity like drinking alcoho.
C．TV consumption is the root cause of low moods
D．Watching TV series can address psychological issues.
21．What might the following paragraphs focus on
A．The solutions to post-series depression.
B．The marketing strategies of TV shows.
C．The difference between PSD and nostalgla.
D．The impact of social media on fan emotions.22.【2025年高考英语分类练】阅读理解C&D篇能力提升组组合卷

1．Why are Luciani’s two experiences mentioned in the first 2 paragraphs
A．To explain Luciani’s previous special experience.
B．To prove Luciani’s specific condition called aphantasia.
C．To introduce the research topic “aphantasia” by his experience.

【答案】1．C 2．B 3．B 4．A
【难度】0.4
【知识点】科普知识 、说明文
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了Roberto S. Luciani 自幼便察觉自己大脑运作与常人有异，青少年时因与母亲对梦境描述的差异，发现自己患有想象障碍症，即无法在脑海中构建事物、人物和场景的画面。如今身为格拉斯哥大学认知科学家的他，与其他科学家一同深入探究大脑的运作机制，尤其关注此类特殊大脑。在近期研究中，他们探索听觉与视觉的联系，发现多数人大脑中这两种感官相互协作，听觉信息会影响视觉处理区域的活动，但患有想象障碍症的人，这种联系较弱。
1．推理判断题。根据第一段“Growing up, Roberto S. Luciani had hints that his brain worked differently than most people. He didn’t relate when people complained about a movie character looking different than what they’d pictured from the book, for instance. ( Roberto S. Luciani从小就有迹象表明，他的大脑运作方式与大多数人不同。例如，当人们抱怨电影角色看起来和他们在书中描绘的不一样时，他就不感兴趣了。)”以及第二段中““I asked her what she meant and quickly realized my visual imagery was not functioning like hers.” That’s because Luciani has a condition called aphantasia—an inability to picture objects, people and scenes in his mind. When he was growing up, the term didn’t even exist. (我问她是什么意思，很快就意识到我的视觉意象和她的不一样。”这是因为Luciani患有一种叫做“想象障碍症”的疾病——无法在脑海中描绘物体、人物和场景。在他的成长过程中，这个词根本不存在。)”可知，文章前两段讲述了Luciani 成长过程中一些显示他大脑工作方式不同的经历，引出了他患有的“想象障碍症”这一状况，从而为后文介绍关于“想象障碍症” 的研究做铺垫，所以提及这两个经历是为了通过他的经历引入研究话题“想象障碍症”。故选C项。
2．词句猜测题。根据第一段中“Growing up, Roberto S. Luciani had hints that his brain worked differently than most people. ( Roberto S. Luciani从小就有迹象表明，他的大脑运作方式与大多数人不同。)”以及第二段中“His mother had just woken up and was telling him about a dream she had. (他的母亲刚刚醒来，正在给他讲她做的一个梦。)”可知，前文说Luciani 成长过程中有一些迹象表明他大脑工作方式不同，但直到十几岁时，当母亲描述梦境，他与母亲对比后，才最终“明白”是怎么回事，所以“clicked”在此处意为“理解，明白”，和B选项“Got understood (得到理解)”意思一致。故选B项。
3．细节理解题。根据第四段中“In a recent study, Luciani and colleagues explored the connections between the senses, in this case, hearing and seeing. (在最近的一项研究中，Luciani和同事探索了感官之间的联系，在这里是听觉和视觉之间的联系。)” 可知，Luciani研究的主要关注点是理解听觉和视觉之间的关系。故选B项。
4．细节理解题。根据第四段中“In most of our brains, these two senses collaborate. Auditory information influences activity in brain areas that handle vision. But in people with aphantasia, this connection isn’t as strong, researchers report November 4 in Current Biology. (在我们的大多数大脑中，这两种感觉是相互协作的。听觉信息影响大脑中处理视觉的区域的活动。但研究人员在11月4日的《当代生物学》上报告说，在患有想象障碍症的人群中，这种联系并不那么强烈。)”以及相关实验内容可知，在最近的研究中发现患有想象障碍症的人听觉和视觉之间的联系较弱。故选A项。

A new Microsoft-partnered project in the UK is trying to see if that concept can be demonstrated in the real-world.
Next year, the Royal Horticultural Society in England will show off an “intelligent garden” that uses an AI model to monitor the garden’s environment and inform gardeners when it needs care. Visitors can ask the AI-powered garden questions. The model could then respond with phrases like “I need a bit more water,” or “I could use a haircut” depending on data captured in the soil.
The technical components of the garden are the product of a partnership between AIstart-up Avande and Microsoft. The garden relies on a network of sensors nestled throughout the garden measuring environmental factors like soil moisture, alkalinity (碱度), and nutrient levels as well as wind and projected rainfall. All of that data is then sent to a specially designed AI model at the back of the garden. The model, powered by Microsoft’s Azure Open AI Service, can then analyze those factors and inform gardeners on best feeding, watering, or trimming.
In theory, insights provided by models like this one could help gardeners allocate resources efficiently and avoid over-watering plants before rainfall, both of which can aid in sustainability efforts. Those tools could be a welcome convenience for casual growers or businesses looking to reduce costs. It’s unclear, however, whether even the best models can account for something abnormal and individual plant tendencies with the same level of care as experienced gardeners.
Several currently available apps also use AI to help gardeners identify unknown plants by comparing a photo of them against a large online database. But as past reporting has shown,simply trusting an AI to tell you whether a plant or fungi of unknown origin is safe to eat isn’t wise, and could have dangerous results.

5．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Next year, the Royal Horticultural Society in England will show off an ‘intelligent garden’ that uses an AI model to monitor the garden’s environment and inform gardeners when it needs care. Visitors can ask the AI-powered garden questions. The model could then respond with phrases …(明年，英国皇家园艺学会将展示一个“智能花园”，它使用人工智能模型来监测花园的环境，并在需要护理时通知园丁。游客可以向人工智能花园提问。然后，模型可以用短语进行响应……)”可知，英国皇家园艺学会将展示一个使用人工智能模型监测花园环境并在需要时通知园丁的“智能花园”，游客还可以向这个由人工智能驱动的花园提问。因此，人工智能在园艺中将被用来帮助园丁与植物互动。故选B项。
6．主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“The garden relies on a network of sensors nestled throughout the garden measuring environmental factors like soil moisture, alkalinity (碱度), and nutrient levels as well as wind and projected rainfall. All of that data is then sent to a specially designed AI model at the back of the garden. (花园依靠遍布花园的传感器网络来测量环境因素，如土壤湿度、碱度、营养水平以及风和预计降雨量。然后，所有这些数据被发送到花园后面一个特别设计的人工智能模型。)”以及“The model, powered by Microsoft’s Azure Open AI Service, can then analyze those factors and inform gardeners on best feeding, watering, or trimming.(该模型由微软的Azure开放人工智能服务提供支持，然后可以分析这些因素，并告知园丁最好的喂养、浇水或修剪。)”可知，本段主要介绍了智能花园的技术依靠遍布花园的传感器网络测量环境因素，并将所有这些数据发送到花园后部的一个专门设计的人工智能模型，该模型由微软的Azure提供支持，然后分析这些因素，并向园丁提供最佳施肥、浇水和修剪的建议。因此，本段主要讲述的是智能花园的工作原理。故选A项。
7．词义猜测题。根据第三段中“The garden relies on a network of sensors nestled throughout the garden measuring environmental factors like soil moisture, alkalinity (碱度), and nutrient levels as well as wind and projected rainfall. All of that data is then sent to a specially designed AI model at the back of the garden. (花园依靠遍布花园的传感器网络来测量环境因素，如土壤湿度、碱度、营养水平以及风和预计降雨量。然后，所有这些数据被发送到花园后面一个特别设计的人工智能模型。)”以及根据画线词后的内容“…provided by models like this one could help gardeners allocate resources efficiently and avoid over-watering plants before rainfall, both of which can aid in sustainability efforts(像这样的模型提供的……可以帮助园丁有效地分配资源，避免在降雨前过度浇水，这两者都有助于可持续发展)”可知，花园依靠遍布花园的传感器网络来测量环境因素，如土壤湿度、碱度、营养水平以及风和预计降雨量。然后，所有这些数据被发送到花园后面一个特别设计的人工智能模型；园丁高效地分配资源，避免在降雨前过度浇水，实现这两者的条件是该模型所提供的相关信息。由此可知，画线词意思为“信息，数据”与B选项“Data.(数据，信息)”为同义词。故选B项。
8．推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“In theory, insights provided by models like this one could help gardeners allocate resources efficiently and avoid over-watering plants before rainfall, both of which can aid in sustainability efforts. Those tools could be a welcome convenience for casual growers or businesses looking to reduce costs. It’s unclear, however, whether even the best models can account for something abnormal and individual plant tendencies with the same level of care as experienced gardeners(从理论上讲，像这样的模型提供的见解可以帮助园丁有效地分配资源，避免在降雨前过度浇水，这两者都有助于可持续发展。这些工具对于临时种植者或希望降低成本的企业来说可能是一个受欢迎的便利。然而，目前尚不清楚的是，即使是最好的模型，是否也能以与经验丰富的园丁相同的护理水平来解释一些异常和个别植物的趋势)”可知，作者既提到了人工智能在园艺方面的积极作用，如帮助园丁高效地分配资源和避免在降雨前过度浇水，也指出了其局限性，即即使是最好的模型也不一定能像经验丰富的园丁那样照顾到异常情况和个体植物的习性。因此，作者对人工智能在园艺方面的使用持客观态度。故选C项。

（24-25高三上·天津·期末）I’ve considered that fire is our first technology. Its profound and trans-formative impact is still powerful. Prometheus (a god of fire in ancient Greek stories) stole fire from the gods to benefit humanity and disrupted (打乱) the original order to challenge authority. Artificial intelligence (AI) emerges as a modern Prometheus. AI has, in a sense, “stolen” knowledge or rather, made accessible vast amounts of information and insights previously beyond our reach. This act has paved the way for new human achievements, indicating an era of exceptional cognitive (认知的) expansion and controversy.
On the one hand, AI has made knowledge widely accessible, broken down barriers to information access, and fueled innovation in every field. AI’s contribution to human progress is obvious. In the meantime, AI’s “theft” of knowledge comes with its own set of challenges and ethical (道德的) dilemmas. The disruption it brings can be seen in job losses, privacy concerns, and the unsettling changes it brings to societal norms. The very act of AI obtaining and processing vast amounts of data raises questions about security and the ethical use of information.
So AI challenges us to rethink our relationship with technology and its role in society. As we cast a light at the crossroads of technology and humanity, it is urgent to balance the flame of AI with a commitment to responsible management. In doing so, we can make the most of the full potential of this Promethean gift, ensuring that it serves as a lighthouse of progress and enlightenment, rather than a source of unchecked disruption for you and me.
Despite these challenges, AI’s role in our modern society is eminent. It’s similar to that of a partner in human creativity and problem-solving. It takes on the laborious tasks of data analysis and pattern recognition, freeing human minds so that they can engage in higher-order thinking and creative pursuits. This cooperation between humans and AI is fostering a new age of innovation — a cognitive age — where the boundaries of what can be achieved are constantly being redefined.
9．AI is compared to Prometheus in Paragraph 1 to stress that AI_________.
A．helps people to succeed easily B．stands up for ordinary people
C．brings forth earthshaking changes D．challenges traditional knowledge
10．What is primarily implied about AI in Paragraph 2
A．It is a double-edged sword. B．It is the driving force behind creativity.
C．Its cognitive ability needs improvement. D．Its advantages outweigh the potential drawbacks.
11．What is a must in order to maximize AI’s beneficial impact
A．Adopting an open and tolerant mindset.
B．Carrying out effective regulation and management.
C．Ensuring cross-cultural cooperation in AI development.
D．Prioritizing ethical considerations over technological advances.
12．What does the underlined word “eminent” in the last paragraph mean
A．Significant. B．Traditional. C．Conflicting. D．Complicated.
13．What is the author’s general attitude towards AI’s role in our society
A．Concerned. B．Pessimistic. C．Indifferent. D．Positive.
【答案】9．C 10．A 11．B 12．A 13．D
【难度】0.4

（24-25高三上·湖北·期末）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.
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, thus 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 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 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.
14．What does the study find about metaphors
A．They help clarify abstract concepts. B．They may cause some misunderstanding.
C．They make language more poetic and vivid. D．They can influence people’s minds and behavior.
15．Why is the example of “lightbulb metaphor” quoted in paragraph 3
A．To raise some doubt about metaphors. B．To highlight improper use of metaphors.
C．To illustrate poetic functions of metaphors. D．To demonstrate the influence of metaphors.
16．How does the “seed metaphor” differ from the “lightbulb metaphor”
A．It suggests consistent efforts of individuals. B．It attaches great significance to natural talent.
C．It arouses people’s awareness of their creativity. D．It simplifies the process of generating new ideas.
17．What is author’s attitude towards the use of metaphors
A．Doubtful. B．Positive. C．Cautious. D．Ambiguous.

【知识点】说明文、科普知识 、语言与文化
【导语】本文属于说明文。主要通过举例和分析来探讨隐喻在语言和思维中的作用，以及不同隐喻如何影响人们的理解和行为。
14．细节理解题。根据第二段的“A study conducted at Purchase College found that metaphors can frame people’s perspectives, thus shaping their reasoning and subsequent actions. (Purchase学院进行的一项研究发现，隐喻可以塑造人们的视角，进而影响他们的推理和后续行为。)”可知，研究发现隐喻能够影响人们的思维和行为。故选D。
15．推理判断题。根据第三段的“Another example is the lightbulb 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… 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. (另一个例子是常用于描述新想法的灯泡隐喻，暗示新想法像打开电灯开关一样突然出现。然而，这个隐喻暗示新想法来得不费吹灰之力，只有少数天才才能拥有……这可能会导致人们质疑自己产生新想法的能力，并因此低估努力工作和持续学习在带来变化中的作用。)”可知，引用灯泡隐喻这个例子是为了说明隐喻如何影响人们对新想法产生过程的理解，即证明隐喻的影响力。故选D。
16．细节理解题。根据第四段的“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. (与灯泡隐喻不同，种子隐喻暗示了一种理解，即产生新想法是一个需要时间和努力的艰苦过程。它还表明，只要用心，任何人都可以成为思想的培育者。)”可知，种子隐喻与灯泡隐喻不同之处在于它暗示个人需要持续的努力。故选A。
17．推理判断题。根据最后一段的“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. (隐喻的微妙影响显示了语言的强大力量，尽管我们常常没有意识到这一点。谁会想到一个简单的灯泡隐喻会深刻地影响我们对创新概念的理解？鉴于我们思维的隐喻性，值得一问的是：我们的隐喻是否合适？我们有责任对自己和他人适当地使用隐喻。这些选择，无论是有意识还是无意识的，都可能是建设性的或破坏性的。)”可知，作者对隐喻的使用持谨慎态度，认为应该恰当地使用隐喻，因为无论是有意识还是无意识的，英语都可能是建设性的或破坏性的。故选C。

（24-25高三上·江苏·阶段练习）Feeling discouraged after a favorite show ends is common, and it even has an unofficial term: post-series depression (PSD). Rita Kottasz, a marketing professor at Kingston University, defines PSD as “a feeling of emptiness and upset when something you love finishes”. This applies to TV shows, books, or video games, creating a desire for more.
The concept of PSD gained popularity on social media and fan blogs in the mid-2010s, particularly during the Golden Age of TV. Kottasz prefers not to use the term PSD, instead calling it “consumer saudade”, a Portuguese word meaning nostalgic (怀旧的) longing. However, a journal editor convinced her to use PSD due to its established use outside of research.
Kottasz and her colleagues published a 15-item classification scale for PSD based on interviews with fans who felt sad after their favorite things mon emotions included frustration, disappointment, sadness, and emptiness. Some fans even felt that life was less complete or that they had lost “best friends”.
While PSD is often associated with TV shows, Kottasz is exploring its connection to other media, such as the abrupt break of K-pop band BTS (防弹少年团) and novels like Harry Potter. Younger people are more affected than older ones, partially due to on-demand streaming and constant new content pushes from businesses like Netflix.
Contrary to popular belief, binge-watching does not seem to trigger PSD．Instead, long-term consumption may be a factor. Kottasz thinks watching a show over several seasons or reading novels across many years strengthens a person’s relationship to the characters. In her 2019 paper, she cites a Harry Potter devotee who started reading the series at age 9 and was “cruelly left behind’ after the final book and film released years later.
But it isn’t quite as simple as saying the end of a show or novel controls our emotional state. Brian Kong, a Chicago-based psychologist, is concerned that PSD might imply a causal relationship between low moods and a program’s end. Instead, he says that when viewers feel lasting negativity, TV consumption might be acting as an anesthetic(麻醉剂) for a deeper psychological issue, like how some people with anxiety or depression drink alcohol. Put another way, the low mood already existed, and watching the series only masked it.
18．Which of the following is a common reaetion among fans experiencing PSD
A．A fresh sense of purpose for life. B．A deep satisfaction after the show.
C．A great sense of loss of best friends. D．A strong desire for a new hobby
19．What does the underlined word “binge-watching” in Paragraph 5 mean
A．Reviewing every detail of a TV show day and night.
B．Watching some episodes of a TV show in one sitting.
C．Following the episodes of a TV show for a long duration.
D．Reading a book series while watching the TV adaptation.
20．What does Brian Kong imply in the last paragraph
A．PSD covers up a deeper psychological issue.
B．Viewers with negativity like drinking alcoho.
C．TV consumption is the root cause of low moods
D．Watching TV series can address psychological issues.
21．What might the following paragraphs focus on
A．The solutions to post-series depression.
B．The marketing strategies of TV shows.
C．The difference between PSD and nostalgla.
D．The impact of social media on fan emotions.

【知识点】科普知识 、说明文
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了“剧后抑郁（PSD）”的 概念、相关表现、影响因素，及对其与心理问题关联的看法。
18．细节理解题。根据第三段“Some fans even felt that life was less complete or that they had lost ‘best friends’.(一些粉丝甚至觉得生活不够完整，或者他们失去了‘最好的朋友’。)”可知，经历‘剧后抑郁（PSD）’的粉丝常见反应是感觉失去了‘好朋友’，即有很强的失落感。故选C项。
19．词句猜测题。根据第五段“Contrary to popular belief, binge-watching does not seem to trigger PSD. Instead, long-term consumption may be a factor.(与普遍看法相反， 似乎不会引发PSD。相反，长期消费可能是一个因素。)”可知，与长期观看相对的是binge-watching，长期观看是长时间追看，那binge-watching意思应是一次性看几集（短时间内集中看完一些内容）。故选B项。
20．推理判断题。由文章最后一段中“Brian Kong, a Chicago-based psychologist, is concerned that PSD might imply a causal relationship between low moods and a program’s end. Instead, he says that when viewers feel lasting negativity, TV consumption might be acting as an anesthetic(麻醉剂) for a deeper psychological issue, like how some people with anxiety or depression drink alcohol. (芝加哥心理学家Brian Kong担心PSD可能意味着情绪低落与节目结束之间存在因果关系。相反，他说，当观众感到持续的消极情绪时，电视消费可能会成为更深层次心理问题的麻醉剂，比如一些焦虑或抑郁的人如何饮酒。)”可知，PSD可能掩盖了更深层次的心理问题，看电视只是起到一种麻醉作用，而负面情绪原本就存在。故选A项。
21．推理判断题。由文章最后一段“Brian Kong, a Chicago-based psychologist, is concerned that PSD might imply a causal relationship between low moods and a program’s end.
