We look ahead to London’s art and exhibition openings and select the must-see shows.
Double science
It’s a big month for the Science Museum，with a new gallery and an exhibition opening.The Science City gallery tells the story of London between 1550 and 1800 when major scientific breakthroughs were happening across the city—from Newton’s laws of physics to the birth of microscopes allowing us to see the tiny creatures that live among us.If that isn’t enough，there’s also an exhibition on how art and science have worked closely together over the centuries and continue to do so today.
Science City 1550—1800：The Linbury Gallery at the Science Museum.Opens 12 September—13 October，free.
The Art of Innovation：From Enlightenment to Dark Matter at the Science Museum.25 September—26 January，free but ticketed.
Are you worried yet
We all suffer from anxiety.Artists look into this through artworks that bring to light their own anxieties or how people living with anxiety manage.The exhibition also covers what anxiety would look like if it could be visualised in light or sound—something we imagine to be impossible.
On Edge：Living in an Age of Anxiety at Science Gallery.19 September—19 January，free.
Climbing the walls
No artist has made a bigger career out of placing sculptures of human figures all over the place.Antony Gormley，the artist behind the Angel of the North and sculptures standing all over London，takes over the Royal Academy of Arts with a blockbusting (轰动一时的) exhibition.This is the hot art ticket in town.
Antony Gormley at Royal Academy of Arts.21 October—3 December，￡18—22.

A.Some of the greatest physicists.
B.The stories of the London development.
C.The prediction of the future science.
D.Some of the great achievements in history.
答案 D
解析 细节理解题。本题问的是“在科学城展览馆上展览什么”。根据题干中的关键词“Science City”，定位到Double science部分中的“The Science City gallery...breakthroughs were happening across the city”可知，展出的是历史上重大的科学突破。所以答案为D项。
2.Which exhibition allows visitors to get a feeling in a new way
A.The Art of Innovation.
B.On Edge.
C.Royal Academy of Arts.
D.Science City 1550—1800.
答案 B
解析 细节理解题。本题问的是“哪一个展览能让参观者耳目一新”。根据Are you worried yet？部分中的“The exhibition also covers...in light or sound”可知，展览包括用光和声音对焦虑进行视觉化，因此参观者会对焦虑有一个新的感觉，故答案为B项。
3.When can visitors see these four exhibitions altogether
A.In January. B.In September.
C.In October. D.In December.
答案 C
解析 细节理解题。本题问的是“参观者什么时候能够把这四个展览都观看了”。根据文中对各个展览的时间介绍可以判断，应该是在十月份。故答案为C项。
三、七选五
Before there was the written word，there was the language of dance.Dance expresses love and hate，joy and sorrow，life and death，and everything else in between.
1 We dance from Florida to Alaska，from north to south and sea to sea.We dance at weddings，birthdays，office parties and just to fill the time.
“I adore dancing，” says Lester Bridges，the owner of a dance studio in Iowa.“I can’t imagine doing anything else with my life.” Bridges runs dance classes for all ages.“Teaching dance is wonderful. 2 It’s great to watch them.For many of them，it’s a way of meeting people and having a social life.”
3 “I can tell you about one young couple，” says Bridges.“They’re learning to do traditional dances.They arrive at the class in low spirits and they leave with a smile. 4 ”
So，do we dance in order to make ourselves feel better，calmer，healthier？Andrea Hillier says，“Dance，like the pattern of a beating heart，is life.Even after all these years，I want to get better and better. 5 I find it hard to stop！Dancing reminds me I’m alive.”
A．So why do we dance
B．Dance in the US is everywhere.
C．If you like dancing outdoors，come to America.
D．My older students say it makes them feel young.
E．I keep practicing even when I’m extremely tired.
F．Dancing seems to change their feelings completely.
G．They stayed up all night long singing and dancing.
1．答案 B
解析 下文提到“We dance from Florida to Alaska，from north to south and sea to sea.We dance at weddings，birthdays，office parties”可知，舞蹈在美国无处不在。
2．答案 D
解析 上一句提到舞蹈教学，下一句又紧接着“It’s great to watch them.”可推知，空处应与教学活动有关。选项D提到学生的感受，符合语境，且D项中“My older students”与空后them相呼应。
3．答案 A
解析 本段谈到跳舞给一对年轻夫妇带来的改变，可推知，本段开始介绍跳舞的原因。
4．答案 F
解析 上文提到这对夫妇来教室时情绪低落，离开时却面带微笑，说明舞蹈改变了他们。F项中“change their feelings”是对上文的概括。
5．答案 E
解析 由上一句中“Even after all these years”以及下一句“I find it hard to stop！”可知，安德里亚·希利尔一直坚持跳舞，E项中的“keep practicing”与之对应。Unit 1 Reading and Thinking 课时练习
