Ⅰ.主题语篇阅读(共8小题；每小题2.5分，满分20分)
A
(2025·湖北武汉高二上期中)
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 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 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.

2．What does the underlined word “underestimate” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A．Realize. B．Overlook.
C．Emphasize. D．Acknowledge.

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

(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.
