We round up the best from the USA and Europe. Caspar David Friedrich: The Soul of Nature 2024 was really Caspar David Friedrich’s year — the 250th anniversary of his birth — so the MET is a bit slow. Last year, all his works were on show in various exhibitions around Germany. The gallery is waiting to get their pick of them, showing 75 works from 30 collections. Unbelievably, this is Friedrich’s first-ever major show in the United States. Suzanne Valado This exhibition has already done the rounds, having started in Metz in 2023 and visited Nantes and Barcelona in the last 12 months. The Centre Pompidou exhibition will be divided into different themes. It will also show her works with the works of less-known artists who lived and worked in the same age like Juliette Roche, Georgette Agutte, and Jacqueline Marval. Elizabeth Catlett: A Black Revolutionary Artist The NGA is doing a full review of Catlett’s career, with 150 prints, sculptures, and rare examples of her painting. The exhibition is currently showing at Brooklyn Museum (until June 19, 2025) and it will later travel to Chicago. Taking a time-ordered approach, the show tells a life of protest and campaigning for social justice and an artistic practice that adopted a new form. From Odesa to Berlin These might not be the most famous paintings on show in Europe, but it is probably the most touching exhibition. 60 pictures of Ukrainian refugees (难民) leaving their homes will be shown together with works from Berlin collections. This includes religious art, still life and landscape organized into a series of nine themes. The idea is to stress the historic connections between Ukraine and Western Europe. 1. What can we know about the MET’s Friedrich exhibition? A. It lasts a month. B. It is held in Germany. C. It is Friedrich’s first show. D. It displays Friedrich’s 75 works. 2. Where can visitors appreciate works related to social justice on July 25th? A. Chicago. B. Berlin. C. Brooklyn. D. Barcelona. 3. What is a feature of From Odesa to Berlin? A It includes 60 historical paintings. B. It helps Ukrainian refugees escape. C. It groups works into various themes. D. It presents a symbol of religious art. 【答案】1. D 2. A 3. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四个2025年不容错过的最佳艺术展览的情况。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The gallery is waiting to get their pick of them, showing 75 works from 30 collections.(这家画廊正期待着挑选心仪的展品，此次展出的有来自30个收藏机构的75件作品)”可知，美泰博物馆的弗里德里希展览展出了弗里德里希的75件作品。故选D。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The exhibition is currently showing at Brooklyn Museum (until June 19, 2025) and it will later travel to Chicago. Taking a time-ordered approach, the show tells a life of protest and campaigning for social justice and an artistic practice that adopted a new form.(该展览目前在布鲁克林博物馆展出（持续至2025年6月19日），之后还将前往芝加哥。该展览以时间顺序展开，讲述了关于抗议、争取社会公正以及采用新形式的艺术实践的一生历程)”可知，7月25日，游客们可以在芝加哥欣赏与社会正义相关的作品。故选A。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“This includes religious art, still life and landscape organized into a series of nine themes.(这些作品涵盖了宗教艺术、静物画和风景画，被分为九个主题系列)”可知，From Odesa to Berlin将作品按照不同的主题进行了分类。故选C。 B I grew up in Beirut, Lebanon, where an amazingly rich cooking tradition that has been perfected for thousands of years taught me the love of good food. Yet, these were times when globalization had not reached the kitchen table, and I had limited exposure to the various cuisines we take for granted here in Vancouver. I had never had guacamole until I moved to North America! I have Armenian heritage, which means that I have recipes passed down to me from my mother. I got my love of cooking from her. My two children have had the chance to enjoy food from everywhere in the world. They don’t find it remarkable at all that in the same week, they could go on a worldwide cuisine journey that could include sushi, samosas, tamales, and tabboulch. Through food, they have come to learn about and celebrate the rich cultural traditions and identities that make Vancouver a wonderful diverse city. A culture’s food vocabulary is a window into its values and priorities. A typical Italian child can name twenty-two different kinds of pasta, whereas a child in Canada might know three to four different kinds. When thinking of fried eggs, the French say “breakfast.” Americans say “cholesterol (胆固醇).” The French think of the cooking experience; Americans think of what is entering the blood. When I first arrived at UBC 22 years ago, the food scene on campus was not good. We have come a long way and there is now a wide range of eating options, but we can do better. Through food, the university can promote cultural understanding and a way of life that preserves our planet. 4. What can we learn about the author’s childhood food experience? A. She was exposed to global cuisines early. B. She rarely had chance to try foreign foods. C. She didn’t like Lebanese cooking traditions. D. She was affected by family’s cooking habits. 5. The rich food experiences allow the author’s children to ______. A. become picky caters B. improve cooking skills C. develop cultural appreciation D. value family heritage 6. Why does the author mention pasta and fried eggs in paragraph 3? A. To illustrate the link between food and health. B. To explain Canadians’ simple food vocabulary. C. To show Italians’ attitude toward healthy food. D. To state different food values between cultures. 7. Which can best describe UBC’s current food culture? A. Nutritious. B. Healthy. C. Diverse. D. Tasty. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了作者在黎巴嫩贝鲁特长大，受母亲影响热爱烹饪，移居后孩子能享全球美食。食物反映文化，英属哥伦比亚大学校园饮食需改进，可借其促进文化理解与环保。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Yet, these were times when globalization had not reached the kitchen table, and I had limited exposure to the various cuisines we take for granted here in Vancouver. I had never had guacamole until I moved to North America! (然而，在我成长的那个时代，全球化尚未触及厨房餐桌，我对这里人们习以为常的各种美食种类的了解十分有限。我之前从未吃过鳄梨酱，直到我来到北美之后才第一次品尝到！)”可知，作者儿时很少有机会尝试外国食物。故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Through food, they have come to learn about and celebrate the rich cultural traditions and identities that make Vancouver a wonderful diverse city. (通过食物，他们了解并庆祝了使温哥华成为一个多元而美妙的城市的丰富文化传统和独特身份。)”可知，丰富的美食体验让作者的孩子们能够培养文化鉴赏能力。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“A culture’s food vocabulary is a window into its values and priorities. A typical Italian child can name twenty-two different kinds of pasta, whereas a child in Canada might know three to four different kinds. When thinking of fried eggs, the French say “breakfast.” Americans say “cholesterol (胆固醇).” The French think of the cooking experience; Americans think of what is entering the blood. (一个民族的饮食词汇反映了其价值观和优先事项。一个典型的意大利孩子能说出22种不同的意大利面种类，而加拿大的孩子可能只会知道3到4种。当想到煎蛋时，法国人会说“早餐”。而美国人则会说“胆固醇”。法国人想到的是烹饪的过程；而美国人想到的是进入血液中的物质。)”可知，作者在第三段提及意大利面和煎蛋是为了阐述不同文化中的食物差异。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“When I first arrived at UBC 22 years ago, the food scene on campus was not good. We have come a long way and there is now a wide range of eating options, but we can do better. Through food, the university can promote cultural understanding and a way of life that preserves our planet. (22年前我刚来到英属哥伦比亚大学时，校园内的餐饮状况并不理想。如今我们已经取得了长足的进步，现在有各种各样的餐饮选择，但我们仍可以做得更好。)”可知，英属哥伦比亚大学当前的饮食文化是多样化的。故选C。 C Actor James Franco looks happy as he records a video diary in the movie 127 Hours. It’s not until the camera moves backward, revealing his arm is under a big rock, that it becomes clear his smile hides his suffering. That’s because when it comes to reading a person’s state of mind, visual context is just as important as facial expressions, according to a new study from the University of California, Berkeley. “Our study reveals that emotion recognition is an issue of context as much as it is about faces,” said study lead author Zhimin Chen, a researcher in psychology at UC Berkeley. For the study, Chen and David Whitney, a UC Berkeley seientist, tested the emotion recognition abilities of nearly 400 young adults. They used short videos from various Hollywood movies as well as documentaries and home videos that showed emotional responses in more natural settings. Participants went online to view and rate them. A rating system was superimposed (叠加) over the video so that researchers could track each study participant’s mouse as it moved around the screen, processing visual information and rating moment-to-moment emotions. The tracking model that Chen created for the study allows researchers to track how people rate the emotions of characters as they view videos. Chen’s method is capable of collecting large quantities of data in a short time, and could eventually be used to assess how people with disorders like autism (孤独症) and schizophrenia read emotions in real time, and help with their diagnoses. “Some people might have deficits in recognizing facial expressions, but can recognize emotion from the context,” Chen said. “For others, it’s the opposite.” Moreover, the findings, based on analysis of the data collected, could inform the development of facial recognition technology. 8. What does the new research find about reading a person’s mind? A. Visual context is irrelevant. B. Facial expressions dominate. C. Context equals facial expressions. D. Emotion recognition is insignificant. 9. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The use of rating method. B. The study’s testing process. C. The selection of short videos. D. The role of study participants. 10. What can be inferred about Chen’s model? A. It can enhance video quality. B. It can aid disorder diagnoses. C. It can cure autism completely. D. It can produce emotional videos. 11. What does the underlined word “deficits” in Paragraph 5 mean? A. Shortcomings. B. Interests. C. Strategies. D. Habits. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了加州大学伯克利分校研究表明，识别情绪时视觉语境与面部表情同样重要。研究方法及成果对相关病症诊断和面部识别技术有意义。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“That’s because when it comes to reading a person’s state of mind, visual context is just as important as facial expressions, according to a new study from the University of California, Berkeley. “Our study reveals that emotion recognition is an issue of context as much as it is about faces,” said study lead author Zhimin Chen, a researcher in psychology at UC Berkeley.(这是因为，根据加州大学伯克利分校的一项新研究，当要解读一个人的心理状态时，视觉环境与面部表情同样重要。“我们的研究表明，情绪识别既与面部有关，也与环境背景密切相关，”该研究的首席作者、加州大学伯克利分校的心理学研究员陈志敏说道)”可知，研究发现在解读他人内心想法时情境和面部表情同等重要。故选C。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“For the study, Chen and David Whitney, a UC Berkeley seientist, tested the emotion recognition abilities of nearly 400 young adults. They used short videos from various Hollywood movies as well as documentaries and home videos that showed emotional responses in more natural settings. Participants went online to view and rate them. A rating system was superimposed (叠加) over the video so that researchers could track each study participant’s mouse as it moved around the screen, processing visual information and rating moment-to-moment emotions.(在此次研究中，陈博士和加州大学伯克利分校的科学家大卫·惠特尼对近400名年轻人的情绪识别能力进行了测试。他们使用了来自不同好莱坞电影的短片，以及纪录片和家庭录像，这些视频展示了在更自然环境中的情绪反应。参与者通过上网观看并对其进行评分。研究人员在视频上叠加了一个评分系统，以便能够追踪每个研究参与者的鼠标在屏幕上的移动情况，观察其处理视觉信息和即时情绪反应的过程)”可知，第三段主要讲的是该研究的测试流程。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Chen’s method is capable of collecting large quantities of data in a short time, and could eventually be used to assess how people with disorders like autism (孤独症) and schizophrenia read emotions in real time, and help with their diagnoses.(陈的方法能够在短时间内收集大量数据，最终有望用于评估患有孤独症和精神分裂症等疾病的人群如何实时解读情绪，并有助于他们的诊断工作)”可知，陈的模型有助于诊断紊乱病症。故选B。 【11题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“in recognizing facial expressions(在识别面部表情方面)”以及“but can recognize emotion from the context(但他们能够根据情境来判断情绪)”可知，but表示转折，他们能够根据情境来判断情绪，说明在识别面部表情方面存在缺陷。故划线词意思是“缺陷”。故选A。 D Changes in personality following a heart transplant have been noted pretty much ever since transplants began. In one case, a man developed a passion for classical music after receiving a musician’s heart. Another, a 45-year-old man, began loving loud headphone music after receiving a 17-year-old heart, something he never did before. What might explain this? One suggestion could be that the overwhelming joy of receiving a new lease on life makes the person sunnier. Other transplant recipients suffer from guilt, depression and other psychological issues that might also be seen as personality changes. However, there is some evidence to suggest that these personality changes aren’t all psychological. Biology may play a role, too. Transplanted organs not only perform their primary function, but also release hormones (荷尔蒙) affecting the entire body. A heart from a donor might have a different level of hormones compared with the original heart, and this could change the recipient’s mood and personality. The body stores memories in the brain. We access them when thinking or they can be triggered by sight or smell. But memories are basically neurochemical (神经化学的) processes where nerves convey impulses to each other and exchange specialized chemicals at the interface between them. While in transplant surgery, many of the nerves that govern the function of the organ are cut and are not able to be reattached, this doesn’t mean that the nerves within the organ do not still function. In fact, there is evidence that they may be partially restored a year after surgery. These neurochemical actions and interactions could feed into the nervous system of the recipient, triggering a physiological response that then affects the recipient’s personality according to memories from the donor. Whichever mechanism (机制), or combination of mechanisms, is responsible, this research area needs further investigation so that recipients can understand the physical and psychological changes that could occur following surgery. 12. What changes occurred in the two heart transplant recipients? A. They showed musical talents. B. They started to compose music. C. They suffered mental problems. D. They developed new personalities. 13. What factors can lead to the changes after organ transplants? A. Surgery methods and recovery process. B. Hormone level change and nerve restoration. C. Brain region control and nerve disconnection. D. Environment stability and nerve function loss. 14. What does the underlined word “they” refer to in paragraph 5? A. The damaged nerves. B. The transplanted organs. C. The memories stored in brains. D. The hormones released by organs. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. How to Prevent Surgical Memory Loss? B. Why do Hormones Determine Personality? C. Do Psychological Factors Affect Recipients? D. Can Organ Transplants Change Personality? 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是心脏移植后可能出现的性格变化及其潜在原因。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Changes in personality following a heart transplant have been noted pretty much ever since transplants began. In one case, a man developed a passion for classical music after receiving a musician’s heart. Another, a 45-year-old man, began loving loud headphone music after receiving a 17-year-old heart, something he never did before.(自从心脏移植开始以来，人们就注意到心脏移植后的性格变化。在一个案例中，一名男子在接受了一位音乐家的心脏后，对古典音乐产生了热情。另一个45岁的男人，在17岁的时候得到了一颗心后，开始喜欢上了耳机里响亮的音乐，这是他以前从未做过的事情。)”可知，两位心脏移植受者发展了新的个性。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“A heart from a donor might have a different level of hormones compared with the original heart, and this could change the recipient’s mood and personality.(来自捐赠者的心脏可能与原始心脏的激素水平不同，这可能会改变接受者的情绪和性格。)”和倒数第二段“While in transplant surgery, many of the nerves that govern the function of the organ are cut and are not able to be reattached, this doesn’t mean that the nerves within the organ do not still function. In fact, there is evidence that they may be partially restored a year after surgery. These neurochemical actions and interactions could feed into the nervous system of the recipient, triggering a physiological response that then affects the recipient’s personality according to memories from the donor.(虽然在移植手术中，许多控制器官功能的神经被切断，无法重新连接，但这并不意味着器官内的神经不再起作用。事实上，有证据表明，它们可能在手术一年后部分恢复。这些神经化学反应和相互作用会进入接受者的神经系统，引发生理反应，然后根据捐赠者的记忆影响接受者的性格。)”可知，激素水平变化与神经恢复会导致器官移植后的变化。故选B。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段“While in transplant surgery, many of the nerves that govern the function of the organ are cut and are not able to be reattached, this doesn’t mean that the nerves within the organ do not still function. In fact, there is evidence that they may be partially restored a year after surgery.(虽然在移植手术中，许多控制器官功能的神经被切断，无法重新连接，但这并不意味着器官内的神经不再起作用。事实上，有证据表明，它们可能在手术一年后部分恢复。)”可知，they指代的是“受损的神经”，故选A。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Changes in personality following a heart transplant have been noted pretty much ever since transplants began.(自从心脏移植开始以来，人们就注意到心脏移植后的性格变化。)”，第三段“A heart from a donor might have a different level of hormones compared with the original heart, and this could change the recipient’s mood and personality.(来自捐赠者的心脏可能与原始心脏的激素水平不同，这可能会改变接受者的情绪和性格。)”和倒数第二段“While in transplant surgery, many of the nerves that govern the function of the organ are cut and are not able to be reattached, this doesn’t mean that the nerves within the organ do not still function. In fact, there is evidence that they may be partially restored a year after surgery.

Blown 44. fewer 45. what 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是乱扔垃圾（尤其是烟头和塑料袋）对环境的危害，并呼吁人们减少垃圾的产生、正确处理垃圾以及重复利用和回收资源。 【36题详解】 考查动名词。句意：我们中的许多人可能想都不去想就扔掉一小块垃圾。to是介词，空格处用动名词dropping作宾语，故填dropping。 【37题详解】 考查介词。句意：随着塑料袋使用量的增加和吸烟者人数的增加，产生的垃圾比以往任何时候都多。根据语境可知，句子表示“随着塑料袋使用量的增加和吸烟者人数的增加，产生的垃圾比以往任何时候都多”，空格处用with表伴随，位于句首，首字母大写，故填With。 【38题详解】 考查时态语态和主谓一致。句意：全世界每年大约有4.3万亿个烟头被丢弃。烟头是被丢，由every year可知，时态是一般现在时，因此空格处是一般现在时的被动语态，主语4.3 trillion cigarette butts是复数，因此空格处是are littered。故填are littered。 【39题详解】 考查名词复数。句意：它们不仅破坏了环境之美，还含有有毒化学物质。chemical意为“化学物质”，是可数名词，有很多，因此用复数，故填chemicals。 【40题详解】 考查连词。句意：它们会进入供水系统，影响水质，危害动植物。 affect water quality和endanger plants and animals之间是并列关系，句子是肯定句，因此用and表并列，故填and。 【41题详解】 考查不定式。句意：所以，如果人们有吸烟的冲动，他们应该把烟蒂扔进垃圾桶。have an urge to do sth.是固定短语，意为“有做某事的冲动”，因此空格处用不定式to smoke，故填to smoke。 【42题详解】 考查冠词。句意：所以，如果人们有吸烟的冲动，他们应该把烟蒂扔进垃圾桶。rubbish bin是可数名词的单数形式，表泛指，前面要加不定冠词，rubbish是辅音音素开头，因此不定冠词用a，故填a。 【43题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：在风的吹拂下，它们可以漂浮并传播很远的距离。句中谓语是can float and travel，空格处用非谓语动词，由by可知，空格处用过去分词表被动，作状语，位于句首，首字母大写，故填Blown。 【44题详解】 考查形容词比较级。句意：我们应该少用塑料袋，再利用和回收我们已经用过的东西。根据语境可知，句子表示“我们应该少用塑料袋”，空格处意为“更少的”，因此空格处用形容词比较级fewer，故填fewer。 【45题详解】 考查宾语从句。句意：我们应该少用塑料袋，再利用和回收我们已经用过的东西。空格处引导宾语从句，从句中缺少宾语，句子表示“再利用和回收我们已经用过的东西”，因此用what引导宾语从句，故填what。 三、写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 46. 假定你是李华，你校成立了中国美食、太极和中国传统音乐三个学生社团。你校外籍交换生Leo不知如何选择和申请，写信向你求助。请你回信给他推荐其中一个社团，内容包括： 1. 推荐理由; 2. 申请方式。 注意：1. 词数80左右; 2. 可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 Dear Leo, ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】例文 Dear Leo, Knowing you are in a dilemma about choosing a club, I’m writing to highly recommend the Chinese Cuisine Club.

He chose to remain in the home they had shared for decades, alone. Despite the many offers from relatives to come to live with him or have someone move in, he politely refused every single one. He wasn’t being stubborn; rather, he always sought to ease the sorrow in his own way. We all worried, of course. The silence of a house that was once filled with shared memories and companionship can be a heavy one to bear. Watching his day-to-day life, I felt an ache that wouldn’t go away. I couldn’t stop thinking about how lonely he must be. But what can I possibly do? One day, while wandering the streets, I encountered a small dog that was lost and hungry, clearly without a home—a sight that touched me deeply inside, for he was not just a poor dog but a creature whose eyes held a story, a quiet resilience, even a longing beyond his ragged appearance. I took him in without hesitation, cleaned him up, and brought him over to my grandfather’s house. He opened the door, gave the pup a curious look, and after a few minutes of tentative sniffing and gentle pats, they both seemed to relax into each other’s presence. My grandfather named him Chirulin, without even thinking twice about it. From that day forward, something changed. The house no longer felt empty. Chirulin quickly became a part of the rhythm of my grandfather’s daily life. They shared meals together, napped together and watched television side by side on the couch. Such was the harmony they had found—one rooted in a silent bond that needed no words. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 However, that peaceful routine was interrupted when my grandfather suddenly fell ill. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Thankfully, after a few days ,he was released from the hospital and came back home. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 However, that peaceful routine was interrupted when my grandfather suddenly fell ill. The news hit us like a bolt from the blue, sending shockwaves through the family. We rushed to his side, fearing the worst. The hospital became his temporary home, with machines beeping and doctors bustling around. Amidst the chaos, Chirulin seemed lost and confused, pacing anxiously outside the hospital room door. It was as if he sensed the gravity of the situation, his eyes reflecting a deep concern for his beloved companion. Thankfully, after a few days, he was released from the hospital and came back home. The moment he stepped through the door, Chirulin bounded towards him, wagging his tail furiously. It was a heartwarming reunion, a testament to the bond they had formed. My grandfather’s face lit up with a smile, a rare sight in those trying times. As they settled back into their routine, it was clear that Chirulin had become more than just a pet; he was family, a source of comfort and joy. Together, they continued to navigate life’s ups and downs, proving that even in the face of adversity, love and companionship could conquer all. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了在作者的奶奶去世后，爷爷选择独自居住，家人都为他独自居住的孤独和可能承受的心理压力感到担忧，作者在街上遇到了一只迷路且饥饿的小狗，作者毫不犹豫地收留了它，并给它清洗干净，然后带到了爷爷家，为爷爷的生活带来了新的变化和温暖。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“然而，爷爷突然生病，这种平静的生活被打断了。”可知，第一段可描写爷爷生病给家庭带来的变化以及小狗Chirulin对爷爷的关心和焦虑。 ②由第二段首句内容“谢天谢地，几天后，他出院回家了。”可知，第二段可描写爷爷康复出院回家后，与小狗Chirulin之间温馨感人的重逢场景，以及他们之间深厚情感的体现和共同面对生活的态度。 2.续写线索：住院一事震动家庭——家人陪着爷爷——小狗担心——和小狗团聚——小狗对爷爷的意义 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①冲：rush/dash ②感觉到：sense/perceive ③进门：step through the door/enter the door 情绪类 ①困惑：confused/puzzled ②高兴：joy/delight 【点睛】[高分句型1] It was as if he sensed the gravity of the situation, his eyes reflecting a deep concern for his beloved companion.

We round up the best from the USA and Europe. Caspar David Friedrich: The Soul of Nature 2024 was really Caspar David Friedrich’s year — the 250th anniversary of his birth — so the MET is a bit slow. Last year, all his works were on show in various exhibitions around Germany. The gallery is waiting to get their pick of them, showing 75 works from 30 collections. Unbelievably, this is Friedrich’s first-ever major show in the United States. Suzanne Valado This exhibition has already done the rounds, having started in Metz in 2023 and visited Nantes and Barcelona in the last 12 months. The Centre Pompidou exhibition will be divided into different themes. It will also show her works with the works of less-known artists who lived and worked in the same age like Juliette Roche, Georgette Agutte, and Jacqueline Marval. Elizabeth Catlett: A Black Revolutionary Artist The NGA is doing a full review of Catlett’s career, with 150 prints, sculptures, and rare examples of her painting. The exhibition is currently showing at Brooklyn Museum (until June 19, 2025) and it will later travel to Chicago. Taking a time-ordered approach, the show tells a life of protest and campaigning for social justice and an artistic practice that adopted a new form. From Odesa to Berlin These might not be the most famous paintings on show in Europe, but it is probably the most touching exhibition. 60 pictures of Ukrainian refugees (难民) leaving their homes will be shown together with works from Berlin collections. This includes religious art, still life and landscape organized into a series of nine themes. The idea is to stress the historic connections between Ukraine and Western Europe. 1. What can we know about the MET’s Friedrich exhibition? A. It lasts a month. B. It is held in Germany. C. It is Friedrich’s first show. D. It displays Friedrich’s 75 works. 2. Where can visitors appreciate works related to social justice on July 25th? A. Chicago. B. Berlin. C. Brooklyn. D. Barcelona. 3. What is a feature of From Odesa to Berlin? A. It includes 60 historical paintings. B. It helps Ukrainian refugees escape. C. It groups works into various themes. D. It presents a symbol of religious art. B I grew up in Beirut, Lebanon, where an amazingly rich cooking tradition that has been perfected for thousands of years taught me the love of good food. Yet, these were times when globalization had not reached the kitchen table, and I had limited exposure to the various cuisines we take for granted here in Vancouver. I had never had guacamole until I moved to North America! I have Armenian heritage, which means that I have recipes passed down to me from my mother. I got my love of cooking from her. My two children have had the chance to enjoy food from everywhere in the world. They don’t find it remarkable at all that in the same week, they could go on a worldwide cuisine journey that could include sushi, samosas, tamales, and tabboulch. Through food, they have come to learn about and celebrate the rich cultural traditions and identities that make Vancouver a wonderful diverse city. A culture’s food vocabulary is a window into its values and priorities. A typical Italian child can name twenty-two different kinds of pasta, whereas a child in Canada might know three to four different kinds. When thinking of fried eggs, the French say “breakfast.” Americans say “cholesterol (胆固醇).” The French think of the cooking experience; Americans think of what is entering the blood. When I first arrived at UBC 22 years ago, the food scene on campus was not good. We have come a long way and there is now a wide range of eating options, but we can do better. Through food, the university can promote cultural understanding and a way of life that preserves our planet. 4. What can we learn about the author’s childhood food experience? A. She was exposed to global cuisines early. B. She rarely had chance to try foreign foods. C. She didn’t like Lebanese cooking traditions. D. She was affected by family’s cooking habits. 5. The rich food experiences allow the author’s children to ______. A. become picky caters B. improve cooking skills C. develop cultural appreciation D. value family heritage 6. Why does the author mention pasta and fried eggs in paragraph 3? A. To illustrate the link between food and health. B. To explain Canadians’ simple food vocabulary. C. To show Italians’ attitude toward healthy food. D. To state different food values between cultures. 7. Which can best describe UBC’s current food culture? A. Nutritious. B. Healthy. C. Diverse. D. Tasty. C Actor James Franco looks happy as he records a video diary in the movie 127 Hours. It’s not until the camera moves backward, revealing his arm is under a big rock, that it becomes clear his smile hides his suffering. That’s because when it comes to reading a person’s state of mind, visual context is just as important as facial expressions, according to a new study from the University of California, Berkeley. “Our study reveals that emotion recognition is an issue of context as much as it is about faces,” said study lead author Zhimin Chen, a researcher in psychology at UC Berkeley. For the study, Chen and David Whitney, a UC Berkeley seientist, tested the emotion recognition abilities of nearly 400 young adults. They used short videos from various Hollywood movies as well as documentaries and home videos that showed emotional responses in more natural settings. Participants went online to view and rate them. A rating system was superimposed (叠加) over the video so that researchers could track each study participant’s mouse as it moved around the screen, processing visual information and rating moment-to-moment emotions. The tracking model that Chen created for the study allows researchers to track how people rate the emotions of characters as they view videos. Chen’s method is capable of collecting large quantities of data in a short time, and could eventually be used to assess how people with disorders like autism (孤独症) and schizophrenia read emotions in real time, and help with their diagnoses. “Some people might have deficits in recognizing facial expressions, but can recognize emotion from the context,” Chen said. “For others, it’s the opposite.” Moreover, the findings, based on analysis of the data collected, could inform the development of facial recognition technology. 8. What does the new research find about reading a person’s mind? A. Visual context is irrelevant. B. Facial expressions dominate. C. Context equals facial expressions. D. Emotion recognition is insignificant. 9. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The use of rating method. B. The study’s testing process. C. The selection of short videos. D. The role of study participants. 10. What can be inferred about Chen’s model? A. It can enhance video quality. B. It can aid disorder diagnoses. C. It can cure autism completely. D. It can produce emotional videos. 11. What does the underlined word “deficits” in Paragraph 5 mean? A. Shortcomings. B. Interests. C. Strategies. D. Habits. D Changes in personality following a heart transplant have been noted pretty much ever since transplants began. In one case, a man developed a passion for classical music after receiving a musician’s heart. Another, a 45-year-old man, began loving loud headphone music after receiving a 17-year-old heart, something he never did before. What might explain this? One suggestion could be that the overwhelming joy of receiving a new lease on life makes the person sunnier. Other transplant recipients suffer from guilt, depression and other psychological issues that might also be seen as personality changes. However, there is some evidence to suggest that these personality changes aren’t all psychological. Biology may play a role, too. Transplanted organs not only perform their primary function, but also release hormones (荷尔蒙) affecting the entire body. A heart from a donor might have a different level of hormones compared with the original heart, and this could change the recipient’s mood and personality. The body stores memories in the brain. We access them when thinking or they can be triggered by sight or smell. But memories are basically neurochemical (神经化学的) processes where nerves convey impulses to each other and exchange specialized chemicals at the interface between them. While in transplant surgery, many of the nerves that govern the function of the organ are cut and are not able to be reattached, this doesn’t mean that the nerves within the organ do not still function. In fact, there is evidence that they may be partially restored a year after surgery. These neurochemical actions and interactions could feed into the nervous system of the recipient, triggering a physiological response that then affects the recipient’s personality according to memories from the donor. Whichever mechanism (机制), or combination of mechanisms, is responsible, this research area needs further investigation so that recipients can understand the physical and psychological changes that could occur following surgery. 12. What changes occurred in the two heart transplant recipients? A. They showed musical talents. B. They started to compose music. C. They suffered mental problems. D. They developed new personalities. 13. What factors can lead to the changes after organ transplants? A. Surgery methods and recovery process. B. Hormone level change and nerve restoration. C. Brain region control and nerve disconnection. D. Environment stability and nerve function loss. 14. What does the underlined word “they” refer to in paragraph 5? A. The damaged nerves. B. The transplanted organs. C. The memories stored in brains. D. The hormones released by organs. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. How to Prevent Surgical Memory Loss? B. Why do Hormones Determine Personality? C. Do Psychological Factors Affect Recipients? D. Can Organ Transplants Change Personality? 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） The future of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is now, and we will see it in our workplaces more and more each day.

He chose to remain in the home they had shared for decades, alone. Despite the many offers from relatives to come to live with him or have someone move in, he politely refused every single one. He wasn’t being stubborn; rather, he always sought to ease the sorrow in his own way. We all worried, of course. The silence of a house that was once filled with shared memories and companionship can be a heavy one to bear. Watching his day-to-day life, I felt an ache that wouldn’t go away. I couldn’t stop thinking about how lonely he must be. But what can I possibly do? One day, while wandering the streets, I encountered a small dog that was lost and hungry, clearly without a home—a sight that touched me deeply inside, for he was not just a poor dog but a creature whose eyes held a story, a quiet resilience, even a longing beyond his ragged appearance. I took him in without hesitation, cleaned him up, and brought him over to my grandfather’s house. He opened the door, gave the pup a curious look, and after a few minutes of tentative sniffing and gentle pats, they both seemed to relax into each other’s presence. My grandfather named him Chirulin, without even thinking twice about it. From that day forward, something changed. The house no longer felt empty. Chirulin quickly became a part of the rhythm of my grandfather’s daily life. They shared meals together, napped together and watched television side by side on the couch. Such was the harmony they had found—one rooted in a silent bond that needed no words. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 However, that peaceful routine was interrupted when my grandfather suddenly fell ill. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Thankfully, after a few days ,he was released from the hospital and came back home. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
