With such a strong artistic heritage, it’s no surprise that England has some of the best art galleries in the world. Here are the galleries you should add to your must-visit list.
Royal Academy of Arts (RA), London
The Royal Academy of Arts is different from standard galleries. It is led by artists to promote not just the appreciation of art, but its practice. It is famous for hosting some exhibitions that get everyone talking. Besides, what sets the RA apart is its focus on public participation, allowing visitors to not only view art but become part of it in innovative ways.
Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts, Norwich
The Sainsbury Centre sits on the edge of the University of East Anglia’s campus. It holds a collection of remarkable works of art covering over 2,000 years. Inside, you’ll find artworks from around the world, including some wonderful pieces of European modern art by Degas, Francis Bacon, and Alberto Giacometti.
Yorkshire Sculpture Park, West Yorkshire
The Yorkshire Sculpture Park challenges the traditional way of viewing art. It aims to break down barriers by showing works from British and international artists in the open air. With hundreds of acres of parkland in West Yorkshire, the park features sculptures by some of the leading artists of the 20th century.
Whitworth, Manchester
After a 15 million development, the Whitworth has become one of the leading galleries in the north of England. Making full use of its amazing park setting, the gallery has a beautiful art garden and a sculpture terrace (露台), both waiting to be explored. Inside the gallery, you can view an exciting programme of exhibitions that change regularly.
1. What is special about the Royal Academy of Arts
A. Holding exhibitions every year.
B. Offering interactive experiences.
C. Using a traditional exhibition style.
D. Displaying works by famous artists.
2. What do Yorkshire Sculpture Park and Whitworth share
A. They cover small areas.
B. They feature ancient works.
C. They provide outdoor spaces.
D. They organize yearly exhibitions.

A. A travel blog. B. An art textbook.

My first experience with the classics came in college when I was pursuing a degree in English literature. But due to a lack of real life experience, endless exams, tight deadlines and a desire for good grades, I never had the chance to engage with those works deeply — to analyze them carefully and see how they really work.
Some 40 years later, I became an editor. A colleague recommended I read some classics and break them down into simple parts. The idea appealed to me. We made a list and I chose to reread many books I had once loved. I was curious to see how they would land decades later. Would they still matter Could my tech-broken attention handle a long novel like Middlemarch
Reading Middlemarch when you’re 19 is very different from reading it when you’re 60. So much of Eliot’s work on marriage, relationships, and expectations went unnoticed by my younger self. And so much of it is laugh-out-loud funny. Her careful attention to minor characters and her skill in bringing together people who are sure to have intense interactions are truly impressive. I was so lost in the book that I texted a friend who had also read Middlemarch in university: “You have to read it again. You won’t believe how good it is.” And how incredibly relevant, even though it was published in 1871. Maybe life has changed since then, but human nature hasn’t.
That’s why rereading classics matters. These books have stood the test of time because their authors understood something about humanity that still touches us and makes us question our motives and choices. In a practical, byte-sized world, reading them helps save what is in danger of being lost: the enjoyment of mastery in language, of characters so alive that we might imagine them walking into our living room and of the ability to stand in another person’s shoes and feel what they feel.
4. How was the author’s first reading classics in university？
A. Shallow. B. Complex. C. Enjoyable. D. Rewarding.
5. Why did the author reread the classics
A. To recall their plots and characters.
B. To appreciate writers’ literary skills.
C. To explore their appeal across decades.
D. To prove her ability to read long novels.
6. What can be inferred about Middlemarch
A. It lacks amusing content.
B. It highlights minor characters.
C. It continues to affect life today.
D. It confuses young readers greatly.
7. What does the author’s experience show
A. It is never too late to learn.
B. Good books age like fine wine.
C. You can’t judge a book by its cover.
D. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing.
C
For those living in regions where winter weather frequently causes trouble, spreading salt on sidewalks is a familiar routine. But how exactly does it work And how much salt do humans apply to our planet’s surface The second question is easier to answer: a considerable amount.
Salt doesn’t directly melt ice, nor does it make snow disappear. Instead, it lowers the freezing point of water — a phenomenon known as freezing point depression. In the case of common rock salt, which is a rawer, less pure version of table salt, each molecule (分子) breaks apart into smaller components. Under normal conditions, water molecules arrange themselves into a stable, orderly structure as they freeze. However, salt interrupts the process, requiring temperatures to drop lower for freezing to occur.
But if salt needs to interact with liquid water, how can it be effective when temperatures remain well below freezing and water should already exist as ice This is where vehicles play a role: the friction (摩擦力) they generate produces heat, which helps melt a thin layer of ice, creating the liquid water needed for salt to work.
Despite its effectiveness in clearing icy roads, rock salt can also cause damage. Chloride ions (氯离子) can cause wear and tear on vehicles and facilities. Increasing chloride densities in North American lakes threaten local ecosystems and degrade sources of drinking water.
In response, many local governments are exploring alternatives to rock salt. Other salts, such as magnesium chloride and calcium chloride, work in the same way as rock salt and may be even more efficient. Some experiments are testing other ice-preventing solutions, including sugars, either alone or in combination with salts. Another approach relies more heavily on sand, which improves road safety by increasing friction. These efforts aim to ensure safe travel in all weather conditions — a monumental challenge when winter is at its worst.
8. What’s the purpose of the first sentence in Paragraph 2
A. To introduce the topic. B. To give some evidence.
C. To define the phenomenon D. To correct the misunderstanding.
9. How does salt disturb the process of freezing
A. By lowering the temperature. B. By melting and splitting itself.
C. By lining up to form a solid structure. D. By stopping the formation of the structure.
10. What does the underlined word “densities” in Paragraph 4 mean
A. Amounts. B. Weights. C. Qualities. D. Salts.
11. What is the last paragraph mainly talking about
A. Other salts won’t disturb local ecology.
B. Efforts are being made to guarantee safe travels.
C. Many alternatives are available to solve the problem.
D. Severe winter make it impossible to secure road safety.

43. 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。
Vera stepped into the high school hall, heart pounding. It was her first week, and she held her notebook tightly, scanning the crowd for familiar faces. In middle school, she had learned that smiling widely and agreeing with everyone kept her from being lonely. “I’ll just do what works,” she thought .
At lunch, she saw a girl with long hair sitting alone by the window. “Hi! I’m Vera. Mind if I join you ” she asked, already pulling out a chair. The girl looked up — Becky, according to the name tag on her desk. “Sure,” Becky said, but her tone was flat.
Vera spent the next two weeks trying to win Becky over. She saved the last chocolate for her, laughed loudly at her jokes even when she didn’t get them, and copied Becky’s notes word for word. “Your handwriting is amazing!” she would say. Becky would just nod and turn back to her book.
One afternoon after school, Vera waited by the classroom door, holding a drawing she had made for a movie Becky had said she loved. Through the half-open door, she heard voices. It was Becky, talking to a friend. “Vera is so annoying,” Becky said. “She agrees with everything I say and brings me things every day. She is trying too hard to please everyone. Such a people-pleaser.”
The drawing slipped from Vera’s hand. Her throat felt tight, and her eyes turned red. She ran all the way home, rushed into her room, and threw herself onto the bed. Tears streamed down her face as she hid her face in the pillow. For the first time, her old way of making friends didn’t just feel tiring — it hurt. She thought about all the times she had pretended to like things she hated, just to fit in. Was this really what friendship meant Her quiet sobs filled the room, soft but heartbreaking.

【答案】Version 1（91词）
Dear Peter,
I’m writing to share with you something about the Chinese ink painting exhibition held in our city this weekend, since you couldn’t make it.
The exhibition, themed “Charm of Ink and Wash”, features over 50 works by famous Chinese painters. The works include landscapes, flowers and birds, all painted with simple ink and water, but they are full of artistic charm.
I was deeply impressed by the beauty of Chinese ink painting. It made me proud of Chinese traditional culture and I gained a better understanding of our traditional art.
Yours,
Li Hua
Version 2（96词）
Dear Peter,
I know you felt regretful for missing the Chinese ink painting exhibition this weekend, so I’d like to share my experience.
The exhibition, themed “Charm of Ink and Wash”, displayed excellent works, from beautiful landscapes to lively flowers and birds. Each piece, painted with ink and water, showed the unique beauty of traditional Chinese art.
I was deeply attracted by the elegance of ink painting — especially a piece called Misty River, which seemed to bring the mountains to life. It not only enriched my knowledge of traditional art but also filled me with pride for our culture.
Yours,
Li Hua
【答案】Version1友好结局（冰释前嫌）
Hearing Vera’s cries, Mom came to the door, worried. She sat beside Vera and gently wiped her tears. Vera let it all out — the drawing, the hurtful words, the years of pretending. Her voice cracked as she spoke, each word heavier than the last. Mom listened quietly, her hand resting on Vera’s back. When Vera finally fell silent, Mom wrapped her arms around her, holding her tight. “Real friends don’t need you to be someone else,” she said softly. “Just be yourself.” Vera nodded, her throat still tight, but something inside her chest felt lighter.
The next morning, Becky recommended a film, but Vera didn’t nod. She hesitated, her stomach tightening. The old Vera would have nodded along without a second thought. But this time, she took a quiet breath. “Actually, I didn’t like that film,” she said. Becky looked up, surprised. A brief silence fell between them. Vera’s heart pounded, but she didn’t look away. Then Becky shrugged, “Well, everyone got their own taste,” she said, her voice softer than before. They exchanged a glance, then a real smile. Vera learned that true friendship means being yourself, not pleasing others.
Version 2 坚持自我（默默离开）
Hearing Vera’s cries, Mom came to the door, worried. She sat beside Vera and gently held her hand. Vera told Mom everything — the drawing, the hurtful words, the years of trying to fit in. Her voice broke, each word heavier than the last. Mom listened quietly, her hand never leaving Vera’s. When Vera finished, Mom pulled her close, “You don’t have to earn friendship, honey. The right people will accept you for who you are.” Vera stared at the ceiling, feeling a small weight lift. Maybe it was time to stop pretending — being herself was enough.
The next morning, Becky recommended a film, but Vera didn’t nod. She felt the old habit pulling her to nod along, but something inside her had changed overnight. She took a slow breath. “I see it differently,” she said quietly. Becky’s eyes widened, confused. But Vera said nothing. She just walked away, her heart pounding, never looking back. A strange feeling rose in her chest — not emptiness, but lightness. For the first time in years, she felt truly free. She’d rather be alone than stuck in a friendship built on lies. Being herself required no one’s permission.
