Best Art Exhibitions to Sce in 2025
2025 promises to be another year for great art exhibitions.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.

The NGA is doing a full review of Caulett's carcer,with 150 prints,sculpturcs,
and rarc examples of her painting.The exhibition is currently showing at Brooklyn
Museum (until June 19,2025)and it will latcr travel to Chicago.Taking a
time-ordcred approach,the show tells a life of protest and campaigning for social
justice and an artistic practice that adoptcd a ncw form.
From Odesa to Berlin
Thesc might not be the most famous paintings on show in Europe,but it is
probably the most touching exhibition.60 pictures of Ukrainian refugces (
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.

In my early teens,I was once given a film camera as a gift.On receiving it,I
jumped on my bike,headed to Wimbledon Common and took photos,just for me:
photos of trees and wildlife.I was out all day.On my way home I spotted a tree lit up
by street lighting and tried to capture its splendour ()Rushing home,I popped
the exposed film in a special little envelope and sent it off to a photography store,
desperate to see how it came out I took many photos then and loved the fact that
when I processed the film I got back colour photos which froze the precious moments,
gently encouraging the hobby and the payments for processing.
As I grew into adulthood,that simple,deep happiness gradually faded away.One
weekend when I was busy answering the work calls,my eyes caught a box in the
CS扫描全能王

comer of the room.I suddenly felt a sensc of sadness.The siress growing over theso
years bad pushed the camera from beside my pillow to the box in the comer.I thought
I nccded a change.
I took out the camern and dustcd it down.It was a great joy that it still worked.I
bought a new film and took the camcra everywhere I went.Now it is always on hand
to accompany me on joumcys,to allow me time to myself Even if the day is full and
busy,I can seize some moments for myself to take photos,to obscrve the world
5
around me.
The wall of my room now holds all my camera cquipment on display,along with
photos I've taken.To me,the room represents how I've found bappiness:by
reconnecting to the younger part of myself I laid aside,by allowing room in my life
:
for plcasure to exist,and by creating an environment that allows opportunities for
delight.

For sports fans,attending a live match with their favorite team playing is exciting.
For the visually challenged,however,this usually means giving up the commentary
(from TV broadcasts and relying on their companions to know what's going on
in the game.Hoping to change the situation,OncCourt has created a clever tactile
device,aiming to make the excitement of live sports accessible to all.
The device,a tactile display,is designed to sit comfortably on the user's lap.Its
surface is a faithful copy of the game field or court,with the plays being tumed into
vibrations that fans can follow with their fingertips.As the ball moves across
the court or field,the corresponding vibration on the device also shifts position.
Currently,the device supports three popular sports:basketball,football,and
baseball,the latter of which was put to the test during the MLB's 2024 All-Star
Weekend,proving its functionality and reliability.OneCourt explains that they collect
ball and player positional data tracked at the league level.This data is then translated
into a special tactile language,which is presented as trackable vibrations on the
device's surface.
Recently,the Portland Trail Blazers became the first NBA team to partner with
OneCourt.The device is available at home games at no additional cost.The team
welcomed blind Paralympian Anthony S.Ferraro to show the device at work.While
using it,the athlete was excited to discover how quickly the players were moving on
the court "This was a life-changing experience,and I can't wait until devices like this
are applied across the board in all sports and events,"Ferraro said.The device is of
great help to the visually challenged following a game at home,but it really shines at
an in-stadium event,where fans can take in the live game in front of them and feel the
energy of like-minded sports fans.
28.Why does the author mention"commentary from TV broadcasts"in paragraph 1?
A.To show the awkward situation the visually challenged face.
B.To introduce the popularity that TV sports broadcasts enjoy.
C.To highlight the role live sports commentary plays in a match.
D.To compare different ways that people follow sports games.

29.What is special about the tactile device's surfuce design?
A.It connects to smartphones for voicc guidance.
B.It adjusts its shape according to diffcrent sports rules.
C.It displays real-time player data through visual signals
D.It copies the game ficld and uscs vibrations to present plays.
30.What docs the example of MLB's 2024 All-Star Weckend show?
A.The device is adaptable to many sports.
B.Baseball enjoys a growing popularity among fans.
C.The device is considered both practical and reliable.
D.More data support is badly needed from sports leagucs.
31.What can be inferred about the tactile device from the last paragraph?
A.It requires further development to support more sports.
B.It may become more widely used in various sports events.
C.It is currently available at most NBA teams'home games.
D.It will soon replace TV commentary for the visually challenged.

For many years,school children in the US have taken on "field trips"to cultural
institutions such as museums of art.Educators arrange them in the belief that schools
exist not only to teach economically useful skills,but also to produce civilized young
people who appreciate the art and culture.While there are parents who will take their
children to cultural places in their free time,there are plenty of other children who
will never have this kind of opportunity unless schools offer it So you could say that
taking school students on field trips is a means of giving everyone equal access to
their cultural heritage.
However,the attitude towards field trips in recent years is changing,with the
number of tours organized for school groups falling significantly in museums all
around the country.The most obvious reason is the issue of finance.Because there are
increasing demands on their funds,after all,computers and sports facilities aren't
cheap,schools are forced to make a difficult choice about how to spend the limited
money they have.Faced with this dilemma,field trips are an obvious thing to cut
since they are seen by many as a luxury.
Additionally,the noture of these ficld days is also changing Schools increasingly
use trips to amusement parks or sporting events as a treat for students rather than an
opportunity for cultural leaming.This shift could have a basis in generational
differences betwcen tcachers'reasons for organizing days out of schooL A recent
survey conducted among 500 Arkansas teachers showed that older teachers were
significantly more likely to take the primary purpose of a field trip as a learning
expericnce than younger teachers,who view it as fun.
Some evidence shows the trend of fewer trips may have a negative effect on
children's devclopment.A research led by Jay Greene at Arkansas University found
that students who received a tour of an art museum greatly improved their knowledge
of art and the ability to think critically about art.They also display stronger historical
interest and were more likely to visit cultural places in the future.The researchers
wamn that if schools cut field trips or switch to less educational destinations,valuable
opportunities to broaden and enrich children's learing experiences are lost.
32 What is the initial purpose of field trips to cultural institutions?
A.To teach students useful skills in economics.
B.To make every student exposed to art and culture.
C.To educate students to preserve cultural heritnge.
D.To encourage parents to take their children there.
33.Which factor most probably leads to the trend of fewer field trips?
A.The drop in school funds.
B.Students'demand for fun.
C.The dilemma of school finance.
D.Teachers'generational differences.
34.What does the underlined phrase "This shift"in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A.The switch from old generations to young generations.
B.The switch from sporting events to cultural experiences.
C.The change from an opportunity to learn to a treat to entertain.
D.The change from educational destinations to luxurious attractions.

Ever since I can remember,I've always been shy.The thought of talking to new
people or being the center of attention made my heart race and palms sweat.As I
entered middle school,this shyness turned into social anxiety,making it even harder
for me to interact with my peers.
One day,during a class presentation,I stumbled (over my words and
everyone laughed.I felt extremely ashamed.That only made my social anxiety worse,
and I started avoiding speaking in front of others.
My parents noticed my struggle and suggested I talk to our family therapist
)Dr.Smith.At first,I hesitated,but I knew I needed help.During our first
period,Dr.Smith explained that social anxiety was a common issue and there were
ways to overcome it.She recommended some effective treatments.Over the next few
months,I attended weekly treatment with Dr.Smith.Slowly but surely,I began to feel
more confident in myself.As part of the treatment,Dr.Smith encouraged me to take
part in school events and clubs that interested me.It was terrifying to put myself out
there,but I knew it was necessary for my growth.
