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。
许多对人类体验至关重要的概念都是抽象的，例如关系、想法和时间——我们无法直接看到或触摸的东西。我们通常使用具体的语言来谈论和思考这些事情，通常是通过隐喻。
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 “race” caused people to feel more urgency about reducing emissions.
使用隐喻远不止是事实陈述的诗意手段。在 Purchase College 进行的一项研究发现，隐喻可以构建人们的观点，从而塑造他们的推理和随后的行动。例如，将阻止气候变化的努力描述为“战争”而不是“种族”，使人们对减少排放感到更加紧迫。
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.
另一个例子是通常用于描述新想法的 lightbulb（灯泡）隐喻，它暗示新想法突然出现，就像打开电灯开关一样。然而，这个比喻意味着新想法毫不费力地出现，并且只有少数天才才能获得，例如艾萨克·牛顿，据说他从突然意识到一个掉落的苹果中发展了他的引力理论。它可能会导致人们质疑他们产生新闻想法的能力，作为行为后果，人们可能会低估努力工作和持续学习在推动变革中的作用。
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.
描述想法的另一种方式是将新想法与落在肥沃土地上的种子进行比较，如果得到照顾，它们会随着时间的推移而生长和发展。与灯泡的比喻不同，种子的比喻意味着人们理解产生新想法是一个费力的过程，需要时间和精力。它还表明，只要他们用心去做，任何人都可以成为思想的培养者。
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.
隐喻的微妙效果显示了语言的力量，尽管我们往往没有意识到它。谁会想到简单地使用灯泡的比喻会深刻影响我们理解创新概念的方式？鉴于我们隐喻思维的性质，值得问一问：我们的隐喻合适吗？我们有责任为自己和他人适当地使用隐喻。这些选择——有意识的或无意识的——可以是建设性的，也可以是破坏性的。
24．What can we know about metaphors according to the study?

A．They may lead to conflicts between people.
A.它们可能会导致人与人之间的冲突。
B．They can shape people’s minds and behavior.

C．They make language more poetic and meaningful.

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.
巴黎以迸发的创造力拥抱奥林匹克精神，近 30 件色彩缤纷的街头艺术作品将这座城市变成了一个露天画廊。这些作品捕捉了充满活力的法式栅栏 r Ysaora Thibus 和塞纳河上平静的划船者等场景，给人们留下了深刻的印象。
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.
街头艺术家来自不同的国家。他们的作品不仅捕捉了巴黎生活的精髓，从繁忙的咖啡店到迷人的书店，而且还延伸到里尔、里昂和马赛的机场。这些城市正在共同举办一些奥林匹克赛事。街头艺术弥合了高雅文化和日常生活之间的鸿沟，让每个人都能接触到艺术。它促进共同的欣赏，激发地铁站和机场等公共场所的对话，并鼓励不同背景的人们之间的互动。
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.
奥运会遵循严格的指导方针并展示民族精神，而街头艺术则更自由，展示了社区的许多不同文化。尽管存在差异，但奥林匹克精神和艺术界都有一个共同的价值观平台，即颂扬追求卓越，鼓励个人发挥最大潜力。创造力和创新是两者的核心，它推动艺术家用每一笔进行创作，推动运动员在每一次表演中都表现出色，因为他们都取得了新的成就。
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.”
艺术比赛于 1912 年在斯德哥尔摩奥运会上首次出现，奖牌分为五个类别：建筑、文学、音乐、绘画和雕塑。然而，国际奥林匹克委员会在 1948 年奥运会上结束了比赛。现在，奥林匹克精神体现在点亮巴黎每个角落的街头艺术中。“艺术家就像运动员。他们也需要大量的努力和决心，“街头艺术的先驱 JonOne 说。“我尊重篮球运动员和跑步运动员。艺术不是一项真正的运动，但它应该被纳入奥运会。作为一名艺术家生存就是一项奥林匹克运动。
28．What can be inferred from Paragraph 2?
28.从第 2 段可以推断出什么？
A．All the Olympic events are held in Paris.
A.所有的奥林匹克比赛项目都在巴黎举行。
B．Street art encourages cooperation between artists.

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.
世界上一些最重要的科学家认为，人类生活在火星上的想法总有一天会成真。斯蒂芬霍金认为，人类必须进入太空才能生存。“一旦我们扩展到太空并建立独立的居民区，我们的未来应该是安全的，”他说。火箭科学家罗伯特·祖布林 （Robert Zubrin） 对此表示赞同，并认为从火星开始最有意义。他认为将人送上火星将使我们能够学到很多东西，例如，关于人类生活在非常不同的环境中的能力。
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.
然而，科学家们需要对火星进行地球化改造，才能让人们能够生活。那么我们为什么以及如何对火星进行地球化改造呢？火星地球化改造的主要目标之一是让它变暖，因为那里的平均温度约为 - 60 摄氏度。让火星变暖的一个想法是在那里建造生产绿色气体的工厂。这可能需要很多世纪。然而，它应该会导致降雨和植物的生长，从而产生更多的空气供人们呼吸。
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 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.
科学家们关心的另一个大问题是，人类是否可以搬到火星，同时仍然保持身心健康。作为一项测试，六人在夏威夷的类似火星的环境中生活了一年，然后最近才“返回地球”。这是一个 1,200 平方英尺的房间，位于火山的一侧，利用太阳能获取能源。住在那里的人之一克里斯蒂安·海尼克 （Christian Heinicke） 说，最大的问题之一是感到无聊。因此，火星上的人类总是需要让自己忙于各种活动。另一个重要的发现是，住在一起的人应该能够相处和一起工作。
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 US56 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.
一个位于欧洲的特殊组织正计划在 2030 年之前将第一批人类送上火星，该组织相信其项目让全世界的人们有机会成为有史以来第一批在火星上永久生活的人类船员的一员。然而，许多专家认为该项目5600 万美元的成本太低了，不可能成功。美国宇航局 NASA 认为，将人送上火星将花费约 1 亿美元，尽管这一估计也是基于将他们带回地球。无论如何，生活在火星上的人类似乎可能比大多数人认为的要早得多。

However, her hands shook so badly that she couldn’t read her notes. Her voice became softer to the point of silence. Mr. Brown kindly ended Mary’s part of the presentation, even though she did clearly not finished. He also asked Mary to stay after class for a moment.
玛丽无法忘记她今天在全班同学面前僵住的样子。布朗先生让全班同学做演讲。今天轮到玛丽了。然而，她的手颤抖得很厉害，以至于她无法阅读她的笔记。她的声音变得柔和到沉默的地步。布朗先生好心地结束了玛丽的演讲部分，尽管她显然没有结束。他还请玛丽下课后留下来一会儿。
“Mary. I know you’ re shy, but you worked hard on this project. I’d hate to see you give up on yourself.” Then Mr. Brown hesitated, before saying. “If I give you another chance until tomorrow, do you think you can find your courage?” Mary nodded, grateful for the chance. She went as quickly as she could to her next class. She kept her head down and hoped the school day would end soon.
“玛丽。我知道你很害羞，但你在这个项目上付出了努力。我讨厌看到你放弃自己。然后布朗先生犹豫了一下，才说。“如果我明天再给你一次机会，你觉得你能鼓起勇气吗？”玛丽点点头，很感激有这个机会。她以最快的速度去上下一堂课。她低着头，希望上学日能快点结束。
When she reached home that afternoon, she could see an inviting light coming from the kitchen windows. Mom was baking. Mom studied Mary’s face as she came into the kitchen. “What’s wrong, baby?”
那天下午她回到家时，她可以看到厨房的窗户里射出诱人的光芒。妈妈在烘焙。妈妈端详着玛丽走进厨房时的脸。“怎么了，宝贝？”
Tears shone in Mary’s brown eyes. She told Mom the whole story. Mom was silent for a moment. her hands still busy with the cake. “Why is it that you can talk to me about everything, but you can’t talk to your class?” Mom asked and then said, “Let me show you something.”
玛丽棕色的眼睛里闪着泪水。她把整个故事都告诉了妈妈。妈妈沉默了一会儿。她的手还在忙着蛋糕。“为什么你可以什么都和我谈，但你不能和你的班级谈？”妈妈问道，然后说：“让我给你看点东西。
Mary followed Mom to her bedroom. There Mom showed her a book filled with newspaper clippings and pictures. In it there was a red ribbon（丝带）that said “First Place” and a picture of herself when she was very young, standing with her parents.
玛丽跟着妈妈来到她的卧室。在那里，妈妈给她看了一本装满剪报和图片的书。里面有一条红丝带（丝带），上面写着“第一名”，还有一张她很小的时候和父母站在一起的照片。
“I won it for public speaking. When I started on the speech team I was quiet as a mouse, but I ended the year as the winner. It wasn’t easy at first — I wasn’t sure of myself at all. I worked hard, and mostly I faced my fears. You just need to find your courage.”
“我赢得了公开演讲奖。当我开始参加演讲团队时，我像只老鼠一样安静，但我以赢家的身份结束了这一年。起初并不容易——我对自己一点信心都没有。我努力工作，大部分时间我面对自己的恐惧。你只需要找到你的勇气。
