Best Art Exhibitions to See 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.
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

513270592138526936706010910148336097751907689855229225painting. 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.
51327059213852693670601091014833609775190B. 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.
51327059213852693670601091014833609775190C. 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
51327059213852693670601091014833609775190investigation 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?

After my grandmother’s death, my grandfather made a quiet decision that surprised the family. 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.

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.

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.

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
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?

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。
After my grandmother’s death, my grandfather made a quiet decision that surprised the family. 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.

【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.
