Top Exhibitions to See in London in 2023
Architectural: Vanishing Points
While we like to think of architecture existing purely in the real world, emerging designers and architects are using platforms like Instagram to create structures in the virtual world. This collection of works, which range from the practical to the fantastical, are all by architects who have gathered significant social media followings.
In the Digital Universe at ROCA London. 8 February—31 July, free.
Flowery: Orchids
This annual festival is back in bloom (开花), this time inspired by the beauty and biodiversity of Cameroon. Just like previous years, the orchids are spread throughout the various zones of the Princess of Wales conservatory and accompanied by sculptures that are just as colourful as the flowers on display.
At Kew Gardens. 4 February —5 March, &16.50—entrance to the gardens included.
Female Abstraction: Action, Gesture, Paint
Art history has often shone a light on the men of Abstract Expressionism, such as Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko. Well, now’s the time to let the most important women of the movement take the limelight in an exhibition that includes works by American artists such as Lee Krasner and Helen Frankenthaler, but spreads the net wider to include the female abstract artists from Europe, Asia and the wider world, with whom most of us will be unfamiliar.
At Whitechapel Gallery. 9 February—7 May, £ 16.50—concessions available.
Powerful Portraits (肖像): Alice Neel
The largest UK exhibition to date of American painter Alice Neel’s work will bring together her figurative pieces from across her 60-year career. Neel went against the popular grain by painting figures when abstract works were most popular, and she painted subjects that other artists ignored — pregnant women, labour leaders, black children, civil rights activists and strange performers. It’s high time we had a major show of her work in London, and the Barbican has duly provided.

A
I’ve consulted several travel experts and found out the top places in the USA worth visiting.
Where: New Orleans, Louisiana
Why: New Orleans is known for its music and food scene—not to mention the festivals.
It has about 130 festivals each year so there’s really no bad time to visit. Bourbon Street is the obvious choice for food, drink and jazz and it’s definitely a mustvisit location, especially for firsttimers to the city.
Where: Vail, Colorado
Why: Vail is the perfect destination for travelers looking to find almost everything in one central spot. Stay at the amazing Four Seasons Resort and Residences Vail to be steps away from Vail Village, a popular spot with cobblestone (鹅卵石) streets for wandering leisurely. The country’s largest free transportation system runs frequently, making it easy to access almost anywhere from Vail Village to Lionshead Village.
Where: Hudson Valley, New York
Why: The Hudson Valley is where New Yorkers go to escape the city’s noises when they need a healthy treatment of nature and relaxation. Just an hour and a half drive north of New York City, the Hudson Valley is made up of small, impossibly charming towns, where the air is fresher and things do move slower in the mountains.
1．What is New Orleans famous for?
A．Various festivals. B．Musical instruments.
C．Natural scenery. D．Food processors.
2．Which place would you prefer if you like walking leisurely around?
A．Bourbon Street. B．Vail Village.
C．Lionshead Village. D．New Orleans.
3．What can New Yorkers enjoy in the Hudson Valley?
A．Ancient towns. B．Healthy diets.
C．Bird watching. D．Inner peace.
【答案】1．A 2．B 3．D
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。主要讲述了美国值得一游的三个地方。
1．细节理解题。根据小标题Where: New Orleans, Louisiana中“Why: New Orleans is known for its music and food scene—not to mention the festivals. It has about 130 festivals each year so there’s really no bad time to visit. (新奥尔良以其音乐和美食闻名，更不用说节日了。每年举办约130个节日，这使得它成为游客体验和享受各种节日的好地方。)”可知，新奥尔良以各种节日而闻名。故选A项。
2．细节理解题。根据小标题Where: Vail, Colorado中“Stay at the amazing Four Seasons Resort and Residences Vail to be steps away from Vail Village, a popular spot with cobblestone (鹅卵石) streets for wandering leisurely. (入住令人惊叹的韦尔四季度假村及公寓，距离韦尔村仅几步之遥，韦尔村是鹅卵石街道的热门去处，适合悠闲漫步。)”可知，Vail Village为一个适合漫步的热门景点。故选B项。
3．细节理解题。根据小标题Where: Hudson Valley, New York中“Why: The Hudson Valley is where New Yorkers go to escape the city’s noises when they need a healthy treatment of nature and relaxation. Just an hour and a half drive north of New York City, the Hudson Valley is made up of small, impossibly charming towns, where the air is fresher and things do move slower in the mountains. (原因：哈德逊河谷是纽约人需要健康对待自然和放松的地方，可以避开城市的喧嚣。哈德逊河谷位于纽约市以北仅一个半小时的车程，由迷人的小城镇组成，那里的空气更清新，山上的东西确实变慢了。)”可知，哈德逊河谷是纽约人逃离城市喧嚣时寻找自然和放松的好地方。迷人的小镇和新鲜的空气也有助于放慢生活的节奏，这有助于实现内心平静。故选D项。

The first trailer did not provide much insight into the story of the movie, but it did reveal the different Spider characters that Miles will be coming into contact with.
◆ Oppenheimer
Directed by: Christopher Nolan
Opening in: July 2023
Oppenheimer is a new biopic (传记电影) on physicist and “father of the atomic bomb”J.Robert Oppenheimer. The director claims that it was quite the challenge indeed to attempt to simulate (模拟) a nuclear explosion without the use of CGI animation during one of the crucial scenes from the film. Like virtually all of Nolan’s films, this IMAX-shot film should be seen on the biggest screen available.
◆Dune: Part Two
Directed by: Denis Villeneuve
Opening in: November 2023
After the success of Dune:Part One, Dune: Part Two has been officially green lit. Except for the Star Wars film series, no other work has continued to have a bigger influence over the world of science fiction than this series. Director Denis Villeneuve claims the film will cover the rest of the writer’s 1965 masterpiece.
As Denis Villeneuve once said, “I’ve lived with Dune for most of my life. Being patient is part of the journey.” That patience should pay off with the second part of his sci-fi epic.
1. What challenged the director most during filming Oppenheimer?
A. Filming in tough landscapes.
B. Finding the right leading actor.
C. Creating realistic special effects.
D. Shooting battle scenes with IMAX.
2. What type is the movie Dune: Part Two?

Thanksgiving is almost here, which means many families are getting ready to enjoy a tradition that goes back hundreds of years: baking and eating delicious pie. Two classic desserts will battle it out at holiday tables. Is pumpkin pie better than apple pie?
Yes—pumpkin is perfect
Three reasons why pumpkin pie is better than apple pie
1. As one of America’s first crops, pumpkin has become fall’s signature flavor since the early 18th century. Even 300 years ago, Americans knew it was the best pie.
2. With its warm, comforting mix of cinnamon (肉桂), nutmeg (豆蔻), and other spices, delicious pumpkin pie gives you perfect bites that melt in your mouth, which simply can’t be beaten.
3. As a bonus, pumpkins are packed full of vitamins and nutrients that are good for your body. So cut a perfectly shaped slice of pumpkin goodness and dig in.
No—apple pie all the way
Three reasons why pumpkin pie is not better than apple pie
1. Apple pie is just about as old as our country and even appeared in America’s first cookbook. Have you heard the expression “It’s as American as apple pie”? No one says that about pumpkin pie!
2. There are countless variations on the classic, with different spices and flavorings, dried fruits and nuts, and different crusts (酥皮). Apple pie is the clear winner for people who love the balance of fruit and buttery pie crust.
3. To quote another expression, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” That means apples are nutritious and help keep us healthy.

21．What do pumpkin pie and apple pie have in common?

【导语】这是一篇应用文。本文描述不同民族文化习俗与传统节日。作者主要列出了南瓜派和苹果派的优点，旨在收集读者对于南瓜派和苹果派之争的投票。
21．细节理解题。根据Yes—pumpkin is perfect中的“As one of America’s first crops, pumpkin has become fall’s signature flavor since the early 18th century. Even 300 years ago, Americans knew it was the best pie. (作为美国最早的作物之一，南瓜自18世纪初以来就成为秋天的标志性风味。甚至在300年前，美国人就知道这是最好的派。)”和No—apple pie all the way中的“Apple pie is just about as old as our country and even appeared in America’s first cookbook. Have you heard the expression “It’s as American as apple pie”? No one says that about pumpkin pie!( 苹果派几乎和我们的国家一样古老，甚至出现在美国的第一本食谱中。你听说过“就像苹果派一样具有美国特色”这句话吗?没人这么说南瓜派!) ”可知两者都有很长的历史。根据Yes—pumpkin is perfect中的“As a bonus, pumpkins are packed full of vitamins and nutrients that are good for your body. (另外，南瓜富含维生素和营养物质，对你的身体有好处。)”和No—apple pie all the way中的 “To quote another expression, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” That means apples are nutritious and help keep us healthy. (引用另一种说法：“一天一苹果，医生远离我。”这意味着苹果营养丰富，有助于我们保持健康。)”可知，两者都营养丰富。根据Yes—pumpkin is perfect中的“With its warm, comforting mix of cinnamon (肉桂), nutmeg (豆蔻), and other spices, delectable pumpkin pie gives you perfect bites that melt in your mouth, which simply can’t be beat.(温暖舒适的肉桂、肉豆蔻和其他香料混合在一起，美味的南瓜派给你入口即化的完美口感，简直是无与伦比的美味。)”和No—apple pie all the way中的“There are countless variations on the classic, with different spices and flavorings, dried fruits and nuts, and different crusts (酥皮). Apple pie is the clear winner for people who love the balance of fruit and buttery pie crust.( 在经典的基础上有无数的变化，不同的香料和调味料，干果和坚果，以及不同的面包皮。对于喜欢水果和黄油派皮平衡的人来说，苹果派无疑是赢家。) ”可知两者口感不一样，南瓜派入口即化，苹果派有不同的酥皮；可知二者富含营养且在美国有着深厚的根基。故选C项。
22．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Now that you’ve read a bit more about this issue, click here to vote in our debate. (现在你已经阅读了更多关于这个问题的内容，点击这里在我们的辩论中投票。)”可知点击此处可投票，所以这篇文章可能来自网站上，故选B项。
