Four Must-See Exhibitions in the US in 2025
Farm to Table: Art, Food, and Identity in the Age of Impressionism
5 April-2 September at the Frist Art Museum in Nashville, TN
France has long been famous for both its food and its art. This exhibition explores the surprisingly rich relationship between the two. Visit Nashville to see how leading French artists of the Impressionist era — including Claude Monet, Rosa Bonheur, and Camille Pissaro — brought cooking subjects to life.
Van Gogh: The Roulin Family Portraits
30 March-7 August at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, MA
When Vincent van Gogh arrived in Arles, France, he befriended his neighbor and postman Joseph Roulin, along with his wife and three children. Van Gogh went on to paint several vibrant and expressive portraits of the Roulin family. This exhibition showcases about twenty of them, demonstrating his distinctively forward-thinking approach to portraiture.
Myth and Marble: Ancient Roman Sculpture from the Torlonia Collection
15 June-29 October
The Torlonia Collection is the most extensive private collection of Roman marble (大理石) sculptures in Italy. This year, the Torlonia marbles are heading to North America for the first time in their long and storied history. Myth and Marble features 58 rarely-seen sculptures from the 5th century BCE to the early 4th century CE. Among them are larger-than-life gods and goddesses, powerful emperors, and grand funeral monuments — each telling an amazing story about life in ancient Rome.
Guerrilla Girls: Making Trouble
12 July-28 September at the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington, DC
The Guerrilla Girls, the anonymous (匿名的) feminist-activist collective known as “the conscience of the art world,” celebrate their fortieth anniversary this year. Today, the Guerrilla Girls still wear their iconic gorilla masks and exhibit bold advertising-style graphics on billboards and in museums. More importantly, much of the inequality their work has fought for the past four decades stubbornly exists.
1. What does the exhibition in Boston focus on
A. Portraits of a postman’s family.
B. Paintings of French cooking scenes.
C. Abstract artworks by some girls.
D. Sculptures of ancient Roman emperors.
2. What is true about Myth and Marble: Ancient Roman Sculpture from the Torlonia Collection

Sometimes heroes are made by happenstance. That certainly is the case for Mike Barker, a 1998 Granby High School graduate and resident in the Washington, D. C. area who found himself at the right place at the right time late on the morning of Sept. 4.
While he stood on the subway platform at the Foggy Bottom Metro station that day, waiting for his commute (通勤列车) to the store to arrive, Barker heard a sudden crash from another platform across the way.
Barker, who while in high school received the Good Citizenship Award from the Granby Lions Club, rushed to the other platform to search for the cause of the sound, and discovered a man lying across the tracks on his back, weakly yelling, “Help me!Help me!”
The Granby native and professor at Georgetown University pushed the emergency call button, but nothing happened. He looked at the platform display, which said the next train would arrive in four minutes. He climbed off the platform and onto the tracks.
“I thought four minutes would be enough—I could certainly get back in that time,” Barker said. “It felt sufficient. At the very least, I believed I could get him under the platform, since there’s a space beneath the standing area. My goal was to at least pull him off the tracks.”
His hunch (直觉) was right: four minutes gave Barker the amount of time he needed to save the man, who accidentally drove his mobility scooter (代步车) off the train platform.
“I thought he could step up on the seat of his scooter and get up, but he couldn’t really raise his feet up to climb out,” Barker said. “Clearly he wasn’t going to be able to lift his legs, so I went down and got him in a fireman’s carry and then just set him down on the bottom of the platform.”
4. Why does the author mention the Good Citizenship Award in paragraph 3
A. To show Barker’s character qualities.
B. To explain Barker’s motivation for helping.
C. To emphasize Barker’s connection to Granby.
D. To highlight Barker’s academic achievements.
5. What is Barker according to the text
A. A firefighter. B. A subway worker.
C. A university teacher. D. A high school student.
6. Which words can best describe Barker
A. Cautious and reserved.
B. Innocent and cooperative.
C. Ambitious and determined.
D. Courageous and resourceful.
7. What is the text mainly about
A. The importance of emergency response training.
B. A man’s unexpected fall onto the subway tracks.
C. An individual’s heroic rescue at a subway station.
D. The potential dangers of using a mobility scooter.
C
That morning cup of coffee may be linked to a lower risk of dying, researchers from a study published Monday in The Annals of Internal Medicine concluded. Those who drank 1.5 to 3.5 cups of coffee per day, even with a teaspoon of sugar, were up to 30 per cent less likely to die during the study period than those who didn’t drink coffee. Those who drank unsweetened coffee were 16 to 21 per cent less likely to die during the study period, with those drinking about three cups per day having the lowest risk of death when compared with non-coffee drinkers.
Researchers analyzed coffee consumption data collected from the U. K. Biobank, a large medical database with health information from people across Britain. They analyzed demographic, lifestyle and dietary information collected from more than 170,000 people between the ages of 37 and 73 over a median follow-up period of seven years. The risk of dying remained lower for people who drank both decaffeinated (不含咖啡因的) and caffeinated coffee.
“It’s huge. There are very few things that reduce your risk of dying by 30 per cent,” said Dr. Christina Wee, an associate professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School.
There are, however, major caveats to interpreting this research, she added. This is an observational study, which means the data cannot conclusively prove that coffee itself lowers the risk of dying; there may be other lifestyle factors contributing to that lower the risk of dying among people who drink coffee, like a healthy diet or a consistent exercise routine.
Despite the encouraging evidence about coffee, there isn’t enough data to suggest that people who don’t currently drink coffee should add a stop to Starbucks during their morning routines, Dr. Wee said. And even keen coffee drinkers shouldn’t use the study to justify endless cups of coffee. The study showed that the benefits of coffee reduced for people who drank more than 4.5 cups of coffee each day. Past studies have shown that consuming “extreme amounts” — over seven cups per day — can lead to adverse effects, she said.
8. Which of the following is a finding of the study
A. Decaffeinated coffee doesn’t help reduce death risk.
B. Having moderate coffee intake may cut the death risk.
C. Putting sugar in coffee may take away its good effects.
D. People who don’t drink coffee have a lower death risk.
9. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about
A. The health benefits of different coffee types.
B. The age groups most suitable for coffee drinking.
C. The ideal amount of coffee for maximum benefits.
D. The research methods and data sources of the study.
10. What does the underlined word “caveats” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Limitations. B. Expansions.
C. Foundations. D. Applications.
11. What is Dr. Wee’s attitude towards coffee consumption
A. Critical. B. Negative.
C. Cautious. D. Approving.
D
Electric signals from power lines discourage bees from landing on nearby flowers, and there is growing concern this so-called “electric pollution” could be causing widespread disturbance to insect behaviour.
Alongside bumblebees, honeybees have been shown to detect and respond to airborne electric fields — which are often caused by static electricity in the natural world — detected through hairs or antennae (触角). Honeybees use electroreception as a form of communication, and both honeybees and bumblebees are thought to use it to locate nectar-rich flowers. But to date, little is known about how human-generated electricity impacts this natural behaviour among pollinators (授粉者).
To investigate, Liam O’Reilly at the University of Bristol, UK, and his colleagues first tested how the behaviour of western honeybee (Apis mellifera) changed when the electric field was applied to the air around a plant (Nepeta grandiflora) in an urban field in Bristol.
They created an electric field using a weak alternating current (AC), simulating (模拟) the environment 60 to 100 metres from a high-voltage mains power line, for 2 hours. This reduced honeybee landings on the affected plant by 71 per cent compared with a nearby control plant.
“The first 10 minutes of the AC treatment was a really dramatic difference — there were far fewer landings than the control,” says O’Reilly. “Alternating current is completely alien to bees.” Landings did increase on the treatment plant as the trial continued, but never reached control levels, notes O’Reilly.
The findings have worrying implications, especially given how common electricity infrastructure is in most nations. Estimates suggest that in the UK alone, there are almost 70,000 square kilometres of land on which bee groups live in the range of high-voltage transmission lines.
More research is needed to determine how power lines and other electricity infrastructure are changing insect behaviour in real-world settings, says O’Reilly, including whether the behaviour is changed over the long term. “In the short term, if you’re someone who keeps bees, it would probably be better if you can keep them further from power infrastructure,” says O’Reilly. “I think you’d have happier bees.”
12. What is the purpose of writing paragraph 2
A. To add backgrounds. B. To make assumptions.
C. To provide examples. D. To present arguments.
13. How did the researchers conduct the study
A. By observing bees in natural settings.
B. By analyzing urban power line signals.
C. By assessing long-term effects on honeybees.
D. By testing bee landings under two conditions.
14. What does the author intend to illustrate by using the UK example in paragraph 6
A. Policy changes are needed for power lines.
B. Electric pollution affects many bee habitats.
C. The UK has weak environmental protections.
D. Bees can easily avoid human-made structures.
15. What is O’Reilly’s implied concern for the group he advises
A. The safety of power line workers.
B. The extinction of some bee species.
C. The conflict between bees and humans.
D. The potential decline in honey production.

根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。
What you do during the day — from the moment you wake up — has a profound impact on how well you sleep at night. ____16____ These following daytime habits can help you unlock deeper, more restful sleep.
Let your brain calm down before bedtime
____17____ While these activities can relieve stress, they may leave your mind too stimulated for sleep. An active brain isn’t ready to shut down for bed. Taking intentional moments throughout the day to calm your mind can make a big difference in sleep quality. Choose research-backed routines to help your body and mind relax.
Reserve your bedroom for sleep
Your brain naturally forms associations between places and behaviors, often without you realizing it. For instance, when you’re in the car, your mind shifts into “commute” mode. ____18____ If you frequently use it for activities like watching TV or working, your brain may struggle to associate your bed with rest. By reserving your bed only for sleep, you strengthen its association with rest, making it easier for your brain to wind down at night.
Get morning light exposure
When you wake up, aim to make your environment as bright as possible — even with artificial lighting if needed. ____19____ Morning light cues your body that it’s time to be awake, helping to reset your internal clock and cause a healthy increase in cortisol (皮质醇). This process jumpstarts your day and begins building the sleep pressure you’ll need for restful sleep later.
Keep your wake-up time consistent
If you’re struggling to sleep at night, it might be time to set a strict morning alarm — even on weekends. Sleeping in later than usual on Saturday can shift your circadian rhythm (昼夜节律), making it harder to feel tired at your usual bedtime. ____20____ Sticking to the same wake-up time every day helps your body establish a predictable rhythm, making it easier to fall asleep and wake up naturally.
A. Your sleep is a mirror of your day.
B. The same principle applies to your bed.
C. When you sleep, your brain restarts and cleans itself.
D. This change in behavior is independent of light exposure.
E. While this habit can be tough to break, consistency is key.
F. For added benefits step outside to enjoy natural sunlight and fresh air.
G. You might turn to a tough workout or a thrilling movie to unwind after a busy day.

I remember how she would stay after school to help me practice speaking. “Try again,” she’d ____26____ when I stumbled over my words (说话卡顿). “This time, ____27____ at me when you speak. She taught me simple ____28____ — how to pause before answering, how to stand with confidence, how to make eye contact. These small lessons made a big ____29____.
With her guidance, I ____30____ came out of my shell. I started ____31____ my hand in class, joined the debate club, and even gave a speech at graduation. The girl who used to blush (脸红) when ____32____ became someone who could speak with assurance.
Now, years later, I realize how much those after-school sessions ____33____ my life. The confidence Ms. Nancy helped me find stays with me in every meeting, every conversation. I carefully ____34____ the photo on my nightstand — a ____35____ that sometimes, the greatest lessons aren’t in textbooks, but in the patience and belief of a teacher who cares.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The rain was pouring heavily as Emma hurried through the forest path, her flashlight growing faint with each step. She had chosen to take the shortcut home after the school camping trip, even though her teacher had warned against it, saying it was easy to get lost, especially in such bad weather. Now, cold and wet, she realized her mistake — the path was disappearing under muddy water, turning the once-clear track into a slippery, indistinguishable mess.
Then she heard a sound, faint but clear in the otherwise loud rain. Curiosity and a little pity pulled her forward. Behind a fallen tree, a golden dog was stuck under a broken branch. Its fur was covered in mud. Emma hesitated; helping the dog would slow her down, and the night was long, full of unknown dangers. But she couldn’t ignore its sad eyes, begging for help as it looked up at her.
She dropped her backpack and tried to lift the heavy branch. “It’s okay, I’ll help you,” she said, her voice shaking not just from the cold but from wondering if she could really do it. With one last push, using all her strength, the branch moved just enough for the dog to get free. It struggled to its feet.
Instead of running away, the dog gently pushed Emma’s hand with its nose. Then it walked a few steps and looked back at her, waiting. “Do you want me to follow you ” Emma asked. The dog barked once, a short sound that seemed to have a message, and led her away from the flooded path.
Trusting the dog, Emma followed. It was like the animal knew the forest well, guiding her safely through the trees. Emma’s legs ached, but she kept going, encouraged by the dog’s steady presence. Just when she felt too tired to go on, her eyes almost closing from exhaustion, she saw a small wooden cabin (小屋) with a light in the window, a warm sign in the darkness. The dog ran ahead and scratched (抓挠) at the door until an old man opened it.
注意：(1)续写词数应为150左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The old man’s eyes widened in surprise as he saw Emma, a wet and tired girl, and the dog.

【47题答案】
【答案】The old man’s eyes widened in surprise as he saw Emma, a wet and tired girl, and the dog. “Goodness me, child, what are you doing out here in this weather ” he asked, quickly letting them inside. The cabin was warm and cozy. The old man explained that the dog was his, named Max, who had run off earlier that day. As Emma warmed up, she told the old man how she had found the dog trapped in the forest. “I couldn’t just leave him there,” she said softly. The old man nodded, his eyes filled with gratitude. “You were very brave. You saved him.”
After a while, the rain outside started to die down. The old man offered to drive Emma home. As they set off, Emma looked back at the cabin, thankful for the unexpected rescue — of both the dog and herself. From that night on, Emma never forgot the lesson about the shortcut and the kindness of a stranger and a loyal dog. And whenever it rained, she would think of Max, the golden dog who led her to safety, and the warm light of the cabin in the forest.
