Top Public Sculpture Parks to Visit in America

This quiet sculpture garden in Manhattan's Chelsea neighborhood is far from the crowds. Owned and operated by Kasmin Gallery, this exhibition space can be viewed from the nearby High Line. It is designed by Future Green, a Brooklyn, landscape architect studio, and it stands beside a famous building designed by Zaha Hadid. There's a current exhibition featuring bronze (铜) sculptures by Alma Allen, which shows the artist's regard for Utah.
Tippet Rise Art Center (Fishtail)
This sculpture garden is worth the trip to the Beartooth Mountains in Fishtail. It is a 12,500-acre ranch (牧场), which is peppered with public art, including sculptures by Mark di Suvero, among others. This summer, the ranch will be open to those who are hiking or traveling by bike.
Storm King Art Center (New Windsor)
By far the most popular sculpture park in upstate New York, it is a 500-acre sculpture park in Hudson Valley. Since opening in 1960, it has grown to include dozens of sculptures that change over time. In its collection, the park owns sculptures by famous artists including Carl Andre, Louise Bourgeois, and Daniel Buren.
Olympic Sculpture Park (Seattle)
This outdoor park was created by the nearby Seattle Art Museum and features a large red sculpture by Alexander Calder called Eagle, as well as Wake by Richard Serra. Since 2007, this waterfront park has brought creativity to Elliott Bay. The landscape design fits in with the local roads and skyline, facing the harbor in what's recognized as Seattle's largest downtown green space.

The sun is setting, brightening your kids' faces as they play in the waves. You reach for your phone for this perfect moment. But before you do, here's a bit of surprising science: Taking photos is not the perfect way to keep memory as you think.
Taking too many pictures could actually harm the brain's ability to keep memories, says Elizabeth Loftus, a psychology professor at the University of California, Irvine. So we get the photo but kind of lose the memory.
Photography "outsources" memories. It works in two ways: We either shake off the responsibility of remembering moments when taking pictures, or we're so distracted (分散注意力的) by the process that we miss the moment altogether.
The first explanation is the loss of memory. People know that their camera is recording that moment, so they don't try to remember. Similarly, if you write down someone's phone number, you're less likely to remember it offhand because your brain tells you there's just no need. That's all well and good—until that piece of paper goes missing.
The other is distraction. We're distracted by the process of taking a photo—how we hold our phone, composing the photo, such as smiling faces, the background to our liking and clear image, all of which uses up our attention that could otherwise help us memorize.
However, taking photos can benefit memory—when done mindfully. While taking a photo may be distracting, the act of preparation by focusing on visual details around has some upsides. When people take the time to zoom in (拉近镜头) on specific things, memories become strengthened.
Another benefit is that we recall moments more accurately with the photos. Memory has been reshaped with the help of new information and new experiences. Thus, photos or videos help us recall moments as if they really happened.
Memories die away without a visual record backing them up. Therefore, a photo is an excellent tool to help remember when done purposefully, which is worth exploring further.
4. What is the purpose of the first paragraph
A. To introduce the topic.
B. To call on readers not to take photos.
C. To show the interest in taking photos.
D. To make us think of similar experience.
5. Why does photography "outsource" memories
A. Photos are more detailed than memories.
B. Taking photos is helpful for us to memorize.
C. People depend more on photos to remember than their brains.
D. Many sources influence people's memories during photo-taking.
6. What may likely be discussed next
A. Situations when taking photos is better.
B. How to stay focused while taking photos.
C. When distraction is most likely to happen.
D. How to use photo-taking to memorize better.
7. Which of the following could be the best title for the text
A. Photography Does Help to Memories
B. Too Many Photos Taken Results in Poor Memories
C. Remember the Moment and Take Photos Properly
D. The Fewer Photos We Take, the Better We Will Remember
C
Ryan Finley is a sketch card artist for Topps and an art teacher at Beck Center, Ohio. Ryan and his 10-year-old daughter, Keira, recently showed their artistic gifts at a Beck Center exhibit. "Side by Side: The Art of Ryan and Keira Finley" includes the pair's artistic expression of the same things.
I first met the Finleys when I was a student in Ryan's class. Keira, now a fourth grader, has been creating art since she was a young child. "She was always next to me, lying on the ground drawing," Ryan remembered.
Keira's love for art continued, and she became a student in Ryan's class at Beck Center. Keira said, "The best part of 'Side by Side, was having friends and classmates come to see the exhibit. I loved walking around with my dad and talking to everybody."
Keira told local news media that she'd love art even if her dad had a different job. "If my dad wasn't an artist," she said, "I'd still probably be doing this."
Ryan's interest in art also began in childhood. "I'd always be drawing when I wasn't supposed to be," he said. "I'd get notes all the time saying, 'You need to focus more on your work.'"
That interest never left him. "In high school, I took every art class you could possibly take,'' he said. When asked what he liked best about his job, Ryan was quite certain. "Surely the art show I just had with Keira " he said. "It's hard to even put into words. It's pretty touching."
Ryan also loves working with students. "I do my best to make sure that they're having fun with what they're doing," he said. "My favorite part is seeing the growth of students."
8. What do we know about the Beck Center exhibit
A. It received a lot of support from families.
B. It was mainly open to primary school students.
C. It showed the works of a father and a daughter.
D. It was designed to honor a father and his daughter.
9. What did Ryan and Keira have in common

A. Boring. B. Enjoyable . C. Touching. D. Challenging .
11. Where is this text probably taken from
A. A textbook. B. An academic article.
C. A commercial plan. D. A newspaper.
D
Matt Doogue, a 34-year-old nature photographer, had been suffering from depression when he first found his passion for taking pictures of insects and his work is now featured in National Geographic. He says that he tried to take his own life nine years ago after hitting rock bottom. "In the beginning, I was so paranoid (多疑的) and angry that I couldn't leave the house," says Doogue. "When I attempted to end my life, I knew I needed to see someone. I went to the doctors and got treatment, but I know that I needed something more and that's when I started photography."
Now a dad of two, Doogue found that looking at insects through a camera helped him in ways he could never have imagined and it proved to be the lifeline he needed. It had a calming effect that helped him to disconnect from stress. And his astonishing images, showing insects and spiders in amazing detail against brightly colored backgrounds, caught the eye of publishers at National Geographic. "I ended up as one of their featured photographers," recalled Doogue. "It was the peak of my career. It was incredible."
Originally from Salford, Greater Manchester, he now lives in Armadale, West Lothian, Scotland. Though he fears that Scotland is in the middle of an epidemic of male suicide, he believes that sharing his love of nature photography can help others to cope with their mental health issues as well. "I think the problem is this man-up approach; the idea that men need to be strong puts so much pressure on young males to be fine all the time," says Doogue. "This is why I try and be so open about my own experience. Whenever I am out with my camera, I don't think about my other worries. It is just me and the environment around me. You can lose yourself in a spider making its web."
12. What does the underlined phrase "hit rock bottom" in paragraph 1 mean
A. Be in the worst possible situation.
B. Reach the bottom of a valley.
C. Crash into the lowest part of a rock.
D. Launch an attack on the rock bottom.
13. How did photography benefit Doogue
A. It gave him a new way to express himself.
B. It helped him to escape from pressure.
C. It provided him with life-saving skills.
D. It offered him an opportunity to explore nature.
14. What caused Scottish men to develop mental health problems
A. The way men employ to solve problems.
B. The lack of love for men's life and work.
C. The worry that men get separated from people.
D. The belief that men are expected to be strong.
15. What is the main purpose of the author in writing the text
A. To warn the severity of mental problems.
B. To show the benefits of nature photography.
C. To advise readers to get close to nature.
D. To introduce Doogue's fighting against depression.

Risha loved school. However, there was one class Risha worried about more than any other — art. She didn't know why she just wasn't any good at drawing, painting, or cutting.
Ms. Clay, the art teacher, stood at the front of the room. "Class, next Friday our school is going to have an art competition." she announced. Ms. Clay was a great teacher, and Risha liked her a lot. But this announcement made Risha nervous. "Everyone in the school will create a piece of artwork to show in the library. You can use the different types of artwork we have been studying." Ms. Clay was quite excited when she spoke while Risha found herself sinking lower in her chair.
Risha had the whole weekend to work on her project, but she could not think of anything to do. On Monday, Risha felt frightened, so after school Risha asked Ms. Clay if she could write an art paper instead of doing an art project.
"I understand this project scared you, Risha," Ms. Clay said. "Just remember, you can create any kind of art you want." Ms. Clay smiled at her. "Art is a person's way of expressing his or her feelings — it isn't always painting, drawing, or cutting. I know you will think of something very creative, and I can't wait to see it."
When Risha arrived home, she took out a piece of paper and a pencil. She remembered Ms. Clay's words. "Art is a person's way of expressing his or her feelings." Risha wrote the word "terrified" on her paper. She crumpled (弄皱) the paper and threw it to the side of her desk.

5、答案：C
解析：推理判断题。根据第三段"Photography 'outsources' memories. It works in two ways: We either shake off the responsibility of remembering moments when taking pictures, or we're so distracted (分散注意力的) by the process that we miss the moment altogether.(摄影"外包"的记忆。它在两方面起作用：我们要么在拍照时摆脱了记住时刻的责任，要么在拍照过程中分心，以至于完全错过了那个时刻)"推知，拍照"外包"了回忆是因为人们太过于依赖相机而不是自己的大脑。故选C。

Dear Kris,
I'm writing to invite you to go to the exhibition of Chinese paper-cutting, which offers you an opportunity to learn more about Chinese traditional culture.
As is known to all, paper-cutting has a long history and still occupies its place in the field of art. Some people who love it hold the exhibition on this Sunday, in Zhongshan Park. At first, there will be an introduction to the paper-cutting and some spectacular works at the show. I have seen some of these works online. They're really fascinating masterpieces, which will absolutely not let you down.
I'm really looking forward to it. If you want to go with me, please let me know soon so that I can book the tickets in advance.
Yours,
Li Hua
47. 答案：
Then Risha stared at the crumpled ball. It reminded her of a snowball. Suddenly an idea struck her. Why not create a winter wonderland out of crumpled paper Risha didn't have to draw or paint or even cut. Risha made many paper balls, glued them all together, and placed them on a big piece of hard paper to form a snowman. The snowman wore a hat made of black paper and a scarf made of red paper. Her finished project was really wonderful.
On Friday, Risha carefully carried her project into the library. She noticed the smile and the nods from teachers and other students as she put her work on a table. Ms. Clay walked over to Risha. "You have created a creative piece of artwork. I am so proud of you!" Ms. Clay said. Risha was proud of herself too. Her pride grew when Ms. Clay placed a first-place star on her artwork. "Maybe I am a good artist after all," Risha thought.
