4 Global Art Fairs to See in 2025
The art market rises and falls, but art fairs are forever. Here are some fairs coming up in 2025.
Art Dubai: Dubai, Apr. 18-20
Founded in 2007, Art Dubai usually features around 120 galleries, some 65 percent of which are from the Global South. The fair has a section for digital works not typical at other fairs. The solo project section, Bawwaba, is worth seeing.
Expo Chicago: Chicago, Apr. 25-27
Expo Chicago was established in 2012. The 2024 edition had 170 galleries from 29 countries exhibiting their artworks. One of those was Claire Oliver Gallery of' New York, which has participated in every edition so far. “We love this fair,” Claire Oliver said. “The visitors are engaged, ask great questions and are truly curious.”
Tokyo Gendai: Yokohama, Sept. 12-14
Asian art fairs have been growing rapidly. The biggest regional player, Art Basel Hong Kong, was joined by Singapore’s Art $G in 2023, the same year as the first edition of Tokyo Gendai. The fair had 69 galleries showing contemporary art in July 2024 for its second edition. “The focus is on cutting edge and contemporary work,” said Tim Blum, who runs the gallery Blum.
Paris Photo: Paris, Nov. 13-16
Held annually, Paris Photo will have its 28th edition in 2025. Despite the photography focus, organizers say the fair has crossover appeal. “We’ve expanded the range of collectors—we get not only photography people, but contemporary art collectors,” said the fair’s artistic director, Anna Planas.

At the Paris 2024 0lympics, sport climbing featured two medal events for men and women: Speed and a combined Boulder & Lead event. Behind the scenes, there is a crucial but often unseen figure—Martin Hammerer, head of the experienced team responsible for the Lead routes, who has been setting routes internationally since 2007.
“The actual design took place at the climbing wall. The International Federation of Sport Climbing (lFSC) pre-selected the material, which we then used to set the routes,” Hammerer explained when asked about his work in Paris. “We started with the finals—which was the highlight and worked backward to the semi-finals. After completing a route, we photographed it, removed and stored the holds for later use.”
The focus for the route setters is to offer a challenging but also fair competition. Routes for the combined Boulder & Lead event were carefully designed to ensure that specialists in one discipline didn’t have an unfair advantage. “Our aim is to offer a balanced competition,” Hammerer said. “For the podiums (领奖台), the athletes have to be really strong in both disciplines.”
Routesetting relies heavily on the team’s creativity. The style has changed over the past 15 years, with today’s routes looser and more dynamic. “The materials and structures have also changed greatly,” Hammerer said. “Every season we adapt to the athletes anew.”
Routesetting used to be quite independent and greatly influenced climbing style. “But now, federations set training routes for athletes. When we see this on social media, we get new input for our work,” Hammerer reflected.
As Hammerer once said, “Climbers evolve, and so must we.” He continues to shape the future of climbing—one route, one challenge, one story at a time.
24.What does Hammerer do
A. He competes in sport climbing events. B. He coaches athletes for the Olympics.
C. He designs routes for sport climbing. D. He judges climbing competitions.
25. What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A. The materials used for route setting. B. The process of setting climbing routes.
C. The criteria for routes of varied levels. D. The location selected for route setting.
26. How did Hammerer’s team achieve their aim
A. By balancing innovation and adaptation.
B. By sticking to federations’ training routes.
C. By promoting their concept through social media.
D. By disciplining themselves to follow strict guidelines.
27. What message does Hammerer convey in the last paragraph
A. Practice makes perfect. B. Change is the only constant.
C. Slow and steady wins the race. D. Actions speak louder than words.
C
If you yawn (打呵欠) more and pretend to be interested often, researchers may have an explanation: a global rise in boredom. Boredom has risen significantly over the past 15 years, a new paper suggests. It also proposes a possible cause: the growing use of social media.
“Technology has driven us into an age of constant digital engagement. With endless rewarding stimulation a fingertip away, however, people are becoming increasingly bored,” the authors wrote in Communications Psychology.
One cited experiment tracked over 100,000 American adolescents for nearly a decade, finding a modest but significant rise in boredom from 2011, measured on a five-point scale. Another study of over 28,000 Chinese students showed a 14% increase in boredom between 2009 and 2020, based
on the Boredom Proneness Scale. How these results are interpreted is open to debate. James Danckert, a professor of cognitive neuroscience, thinks it reasonable that boredom is on the rise and social media may play a part. “The function of boredom, however, is to push you into action,” Danckert argues. He believes the key lies in taking part in unpredictable, meaningful events where you must make active choices. Impromptu conversations with somebody can fill these requirements.
Danckert doubts social media ticks the same boxes. “When you start scrolling (滑动) on your phone, a ton of what you’re going to see there is highly predictable,” he said. The more predictable our world becomes, the less meaningful it is and the more boring it becomes.
Professor Andreas Elpidorou, an expert in the field of boredom studies, agrees. Digital media may “force us into a continuous engagement with a content that is interesting enough to entertain but not meaningful enough to fulfil,” he said. However, he suspected it was not the only factor, adding, “I worry this is too convenient an explanation. I’m not saying it isn’t true, but I worry it may only be partially true.”
28. Why does the author mention the quote in paragraph 2
A. To support the finding of a new paper.
B. To review the benefits of digital engagement.
C. To provide solutions to overcoming boredom.
D. To highlight the suggestions given by researchers.
29. What do the two studies mentioned in paragraph 3 focus on
A. The increase in boredom levels. B. The effect of boredom on human behavior.
C. The historical trend of boredom. D. The link between boredom and technology.
30. What does the underlined word “impromptu” mean in paragraph 4
A. Structured. B. Informal. C. Detailed. D. Unprepared.
31. What is Elpidorou’s attitude towards the results of boredom research
A. Appreciative. B. Objective. C. Tolerant. D. Dismissive.
D
Wild chimpanzees seem to learn skills from each other and then—much as humans do—improve on those techniques from one generation to the next.
In particular, young females that migrate (迁徙) between groups bring their cultural knowledge with them, and groups can combine new techniques with existing ones to get better at searching for food. Such “cumulative culture” means some chimpanzee communities are becoming more technologically advanced—although very, very slowly. “If chimpanzees have some cultural knowledge that the community they’re moving into doesn’t have, they may pass it on—just in the same way we pass on the genes (基因),” says Andrew Whiten at the University of St Andrews. “And then that culture builds up.
Scientists knew chimpanzees used tools and passed on the knowledge, but their lack of significant innovation compared to humans puzzled researchers. Cassandra Gunasekaram at the University of Zurich suspected she might be able to apply genetic analysis to the puzzle. To see if young females bring their skill sets into their new groups, she and her colleagues looked at data previously collected by other research groups at 35 study sites in Africa and included information about what tools, if any, each animal used, as well as their genetic connections over the past 15,000 years. “The genetics give us a kind of time machine into the way culture has been transmitted (传播) across chimpanzees,” says Whiten.
Some chimpanzees used complex tools, for example a drilling stick and a fishing brush for hunting. The researchers found the chimpanzees with the most advanced tool sets were three to five times more likely to share the same DNA as those that used simple tools or no tools at all, even though they might live thousands of kilometres away. And advanced tool use was also more strongly associated with female migration compared with simple or no tool use.
32. Which best describes “cumulative culture” in paragraph 2
A. The immediate adoption of advanced tools for food
B. The gradual build-up of cultural knowledge over time.
C. The independent invention of tools without prior skills.
D. The preservation of cultural knowledge for generations.
33. How did Gunasekaram’s team conduct their research
A. By observing chimpanzees at 35 study sites.
B. By analyzing existing data on chimpanzees.
C. By comparing chimpanzees in terms of their tool use.
D. By investigating genetic connections of chimpanzees.
34. What led to chimpanzees’ use of complex tools
A. Human influences. B. Food-hunting strategy.
C. Social competition. D. Cross-group interactions.
35. What does the text mainly talk about
A. The learning gaps between chimpanzees and humans.
B. The environmental impact on chimpanzees’ behaviors.
C. The genetic diversity of chimpanzees in the wilderness.
D. The role of female chimpanzees in cultural transmission.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
In psychology, the word “prove” is used carefully, much like a painter applies each brushstroke (笔) with great care. Unlike the strong conclusions in physical sciences, psychological research builds a bigger picture through many small studies. 36 His discovery was not a sudden breakthrough but the result of hard and detailed work.
Similarly, Elizabeth Loftus’s research doubts how accurate witness reports are. Instead of calling it “unreliable,” researchers use terms like “potential unreliability.” 37 So, they use words like “demonstrate” and “suggest” to show the uncertainty in their conclusions.
38 Instead, I teach my students to think critically about how to use it, much like a gardener who cares for plants. When students first use the word, I encourage them to think about factors that could challenge their conclusions. For example, I might ask them, “How do we know that not all participants had false memories ” Or, for French students, “Why might these findings not apply to French culture ”
This approach helps students grasp the complexity of psychological research and develop critical thinking skills. It encourages them to reflect and analyze, helping them communicate their findings with accuracy. 39
In psychology, “proving” something is like building a symphony. 40 In education, teaching critical thinking and clear language use is essential for understanding the core of psychological research.
A. This indicates that findings might change.
B. In my classroom, I do not ban the word “prove.”
C. Each piece of evidence adds to a larger understanding.
D. Psychological theories are often revised as new evidence emerges.
E. As a teacher, I often remind my students to use this word appropriately.
F. This method also builds appreciation for the depth of psychological inquiry.
G. For example, Eric Kandel spent years studying sea animals to learn how memory works.

Then they cut a channel through Mount Yulei to let out the extra water. During the construction, cutting the channel proved to be a much more challenging task than 58 (anticipate), as the tools available could not break through the hard rock of the mountain. Therefore, they used a
59 (combine) of fire and water to heat and cool the rocks until they broke 60 could be removed, Once completed, the system prevented floods and made Sichuan one of China’s most productive 61 (agriculture) regions by using the redirected water 62 irrigation.
Now if you visit Dujiangyan, you will see an unusual construction 63 looks like a fish’s mouth. This famous attraction, Yuzui, together with two other important parts, namely, Feishayan and Baopingkou, 64 (design) scientifically to control the water flow throughout the year. Recognized as 65 UNESCO heritage site, Dujiangyan has irrigated farms while preventing floods for over 2,000 years.

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。
Mary was very happy when she got her dream part-time job at the local bookshop. It was right next to her school, so she could walk there after classes. Her boss, Mr. Thompson, was very nice and trusted her with lots of important tasks from the beginning.
One afternoon, Mr. Thompson gave Mary and her classmate Alex a special task. He wanted them to make a plan to promote a new book series all written by teenagers. “This series is unique because it reflects the voices of young authors,” Mr. Thompson explained. “I’m counting on you two to come up with something that will truly connect with the young readers. You’ll have to finalize your plan before Friday since the school Reading Festival is just around the corner.” Mary was very excited and happy to help. She nodded eagerly. “Absolutely, Mr. Thompson! I can’t wait to get started.” She was so thrilled that she couldn’t stop smiling on her way home. Finally, there was a chance to show everyone what she could do.
But working with Alex wasn’t going to be easy, Alex was known for being bossy and having strong opinions. When Mary met up with him at the library to discuss their project, she knew it would be tricky. “I’ve worked on similar projects before, and simple booths (展位) in the school court yard always work, and we could hand out flyers,” Alex said, without even looking at Mary.
Mary frowned (皱眉头) as she thought about Alex’s idea. She knew that booths worked well, but she felt they could do something more exciting to catch the attention of their classmates. The new book series deserved a special promotion, “If we just follow the same old methods, how will this book series stand out ” Mary argued. “What if we have a book reading session with some authors Or... ” Alex, however, didn’t seem interested in exploring new ideas. He rolled his eyes at Mary’s suggestions for creativity, arguing that they didn’t have the time or resources to try new things. He believed the usual methods would work best.
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。
Despite their different opinions, Mary tried to find a solution that both could agree on. After the activity, Mr. Thompson called them into his office.

Dear Emily,
Glad you want to take part in the “My China Moments” activity. I think making a short video would be great. Videos can put together nice pictures, fun sounds and your own voice, which is really good for showing what you’ve experienced.
For the content, you could film yourself learning Chinese calligraphy. Remember when you first held the brush and it was a bit hard Later, with the teacher’s patient help, you got better. You can record all those moments. To be creative, try using time-lapse. It can show how much you’ve improved. And in the voice-over, you might ask, “Do you know how one brush stroke can connect you to China’s long history ” This will surely catch people’s eyes.
Wish you all the best!
Yours,
Li Hua

Dear Emily,
I’m excited to hear that you’re interested in the “My China Moments” event! Since you love music, I suggest you focus on Yue Opera, the unique local music art in Guangzhou.
You can visit the Yue Opera Museum here in Guangzhou and create a vlog. Show your efforts to understand the melodies of Yue Opera, maybe even try to sing a simple tune. You can also explore the traditional costumes and musical notations. Don’t forget to share your personal feelings and capture the beauty of the Yue Opera performances. This way, viewers around the world will be able to appreciate the unique cultural traditions of Guangzhou along with your musical journey.
Best of luck, and I can’t wait to see your creative work!
Yours,
Li Hua

Dear Emily,
Happy you’re interested in the “My China Moments” event. A photo essay is a nice option. You can mix clear photos and short words to share your Chinese adventures vividly.
Your story could be about the busy local markets. Maybe you got lost there once, but the friendly vendors helped you out. You can describe the colorful things for sale, the good smells, and the noisy chats. For creativity, use a split-screen to put different stall photos and owners’ pictures side by side, with little notes telling their tales. You could also ask, “What interesting things do these small market stalls hide ” This will make your work really attractive.
Hope you do well!
Yours,
Li Hua

Despite their different opinions, Mary tried to find a solution that both could agree on. She proposed combining their approaches: setting up a booth as Alex wanted, but enhanced it with creative elements like an eye-catching display, reviewer quotes, and a giveaway signup sheet. Alex agreed to the compromise, recognizing the value in Mary’s ideas, even though he initially resisted them. As they worked together, Mary focused on creative design while Alex handled logistics, ensuring smooth operations. Their teamwork grew stronger, and on the day of the book launch, their booth was a hit. Students crowded around, eager to see the new books, sign up for the giveaway, and take pictures with the vibrant displays. Mr. Thompson saw everything and he was pleased too.
The next day, Mr. Thompson called them into his office. “I’m really impressed with your efforts working as a team,” said Mr. Thompson. Together with Mr. Thompson, Mary and Alex reflected on their success, they started to realize that their differences had actually made them a better team. By combining their strengths and remaining open to each other’s ideas, they had achieved something remarkable. As they left the bookshop that evening, already brainstorming ideas for their next project, Mary and Alex shared a sense of pride and mutual respect. They looked forward to collaborating again, knowing that together, they could achieve even greater success in the future.

Despite their different opinions, Mary tried to find a solution that both could agree on. She took a deep breath and said calmly to Alex, “I understand your concerns, but let’s think about it. What if we set up the booth like you suggested, and I’ll contact the authors to see if they can do a short online Q&A session during the festival It won’t take much time to organize, and it’ll definitely make our promotion stand out.” Alex paused for a moment, considering her words. Eventually, he nodded, “Okay, that might work. Let’s give it a try.” With a new plan in place, they got to work, dividing the tasks and preparing for the big day.
After the activity, Mr. Thompson called them into his office. A big smile spread across his face as he said, “You two did an amazing job! The booth was busy, and the online Q&A was a huge hit. Everyone was talking about the new book series. You managed to combine the traditional and the innovative perfectly.” Mary and Alex exchanged a glance, proud of their achievement. Mr. Thompson continued, “Though you had some bumps along the way, you learned to work together and find solutions. That’s what teamwork is all about. Keep it up!” They left the office, knowing they had not only promoted the books but also grown as a team.
