D.Ambiguous.【答案】28.D29.D30.A31.C【解析】【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。【28题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段的“AstudyconductedatPurchaseCollegefoundthatmetaphorscanframepeople’sperspectives,thusshapingtheirreasoningandsubsequentactions.(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。【29题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段的“Anotherexampleisthelightbulbmetaphorcommonlyusedtodescribenewideas,suggestingthatnewthoughtsappearsuddenlylikealightswitchbeingturnedon.However,thismetaphorimpliesthatnewideascomeeffortlesslyandareaccessibleonlytoaselectfewgeniuses…Itmayleadpeopletoquestiontheircapabilitytogeneratenewideas,andasabehavioralconsequence,peoplemayunderestimatetheroleofhardworkandcontinuouslearninginbringingaboutchange.(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。【30题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段的“Differentfromthelightbulbmetaphor,theseedmetaphorimpliesanunderstandingthatgeneratingnewideasisalaboriousprocess,whichrequirestimeandeffort.Italsosuggeststhatanybodycanbethecultivatorofideasaslongastheyputtheirmindtoit.(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。【31题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段的“Thesubtleeffectsofmetaphorsshowhowpowerfullanguagecanbe,eventhoughweoftendon’trealizeit.Who’dhavethoughtasimpleuseofalightbulbmetaphorcouldprofoundlyaffecthowweunderstandtheconceptofinnovation?Giventhenatureofourmetaphoricalminds,itisworthasking:areourmetaphorssuitable?Weoweittoourselvesandotherstousemetaphorsappropriately.Thesechoices,consciousornot,canbeconstructiveordestructive.(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。DUntilnowithasbeenimpossibletopeerintothehumanmind,butnewbiometric(生物计量的)andmachinelearningtoolsarechangingthis.Assumingpeopleapproveofthesetechnologiesmonitoringthem,researcherscancollectreal-timefacialanalysisandeye-movementdatausingwebcams,andthereforerecognizesubconsciousfacial-expressionswhenpeopleareengagedwithdifferenturbanscenes.OurresearchgroupatTuftsUniversityhasconductedanumberoffacialanalysisandeye-trackingstudies,usingiMotionsOnlineAFFDEXfacialcodingsoftwaretotrack51participants’real-timevisualattentionandfacialexpressionsinresponsetoimagesandvideosofMemorialDriveinCambridge.Wecapturedsimilarimagesofthesamestretchofroadwithandwithoutcarsandcomparedourparticipants’emotionalreactionstobothtypesofimages.Thesystemrecordsaperson’seyemovementsandfacialexpressionswithacamera.Thenthesoftwareusesanalgorithm(算法)toscorewhetheraparticipantdisplayedpositive,negativeorneutralemotionsduringeachmillisecondofthestudybasedonsubtlemovementsintheirfacialmuscles.Initsresults,althoughourparticipantsexpressedneutralemotionsinresponsetotheimages85percentofthetime,participantsspentonaverage0.4percentmoretimeexpressingpositiveemotionsinresponsetovehiclelessimagesandvideos.Whileseeminglyasmalldifference,anymeasurableeffectfromastillimagecansignalsomethingworthconsidering.Andafterseveralfollow-upresearches,wedidfindthatcarsabsorbedpeoplenaturally,whereaspeople’semotionalresponsesaremorenegativewhilelookingatthem.Scientistsandurbanplannersgloballyarebeginningtopolishbiometrictoolstounderstandthesekindsofbehavioralresponsestourbanandarchitecturalelements.Naturalelementsliketreesarelessforeigntoourbrainthancar-relatedinfrastructureliketrafficlights,andaccordbetterwithourin-bornpreferences.Furthermore,naturaldesignelementsmakeiteasierforhumanstorelaxandenjoytheirsurroundingsastheyreflectthenaturalsurroundingsofourenvironment.Car-freespacesareimportantincommunitybuilding.Somestudieshavetakenthesebiometrictoolsoutofthelab,butmoreworkisstillneededtotestthesehumanbehavioralresponsesinreal-worldconditions.32.Howdidtheresearchersreachtheconclusion?A.Bymakinganassumption.
