Top Public Sculpture Parks to Visit in America
Kasmin Sculpture Garden (New York City)
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.

A. It is run by Kasmin Gallery.
B. It is designed by Zaha Hadid.

The meaning of silence varies among cultural groups. Silences may be thoughtful, or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say. A silence in a conversation may also show stubbornness, or worry. Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremely uncomfortable; therefore attempts may be made to fill every gap with conversation. Persons in other cultural groups value silence and view it as necessary for understanding a person's needs.
Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of communicating among people, just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do. Therefore, when a person from one of these cultures is speaking and suddenly stops, what maybe implied is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing. In these cultures, silence is a call for reflection.
Other cultures may use silence in other ways, particularly when dealing with conflicts among people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power. For example, Russian, French, and Spanish persons may use silence to show agreement between parties about the topic under discussion. However, Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in authority rather than be rude to that person by arguing with him or her. In still another use, persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect, particularly to an elder or a person in authority.
Nurses and other care-givers need to be aware of the possible meanings of silence when they come across the personal anxiety their patients may be experiencing. Nurses should recognize their own personal and cultural construction of silence so that a patient’s silence is not interrupted too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily. A nurse who understands the healing value of silence can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures.
24．What does the author say about silence in conversations
A．It implies anger. B．It promotes friendship.
C．It is culture-specific. D．It is content-based.
25．What may be the best title for the text
A．What It Means to Be Silent B．Sound and Silence
C．Silence to Native Americans D．Speech Is Silver; Silence Is Gold
26. What does the underlined word "gap" in the first paragraph mean
A. 缺口 B. 隔阂 C. 间隙 D. 漏洞
27．Where is the passage probably taken from
A．A guidebook. B．A travel journal.
C．An official document. D．A research magazine.
C
Soil creates life from death. The production of more than 95% of the food we eat relies on soil. But this precious resource is eroding (侵蚀) at a global average of 13.5 tons per hectare per year. Instead of nourishing crops, fertile topsoil is washed and blown away, ending up in inconvenient places such as ditches and oceans.
Jo Handelsman and Kayla Cohen try to make readers care about soil in A World Without Soil. Their prologue (前言) takes the form of a letter to the government. With the letter, they hope to make soil management a federal priority. The following chapters cover the basic science of soil as well as the causes and consequences of its erosion. In the last part of the book, the authors turn to possible solutions—many of them simple, and some centuries old. They describe about traditional soil management techniques, including planting diverse crops in rotation (轮种), increasing organic content, ploughing as little as possible, etc. With these techniques, farmers are able to produce rich agricultural production while maintaining deep banks of fertile soil.
Why, then, is fertile soil being allowed to be washed and blown away The answer, not surprisingly, rests in global capitalism. Farmers' profit is thin, forcing farmers to plant the highest-profit crop from field to field every season. To ensure food security, Handelsman and Cohen urge the world to demand a real top-down change in how agricultural production is managed. "The burden of protecting soil cannot be shifted to farmers and environmental activists," they note. Governments must begin to move towards a model in which farmers are less independent business people growing and selling food, and more government-supported land workers managing both food production and soil protection. This should be the core of agriculture.
Our land and soil are too precious to be destroyed by the market price of crops. We must invest deeply and thoughtfully in our farmers so that they can invest deeply and thoughtfully in the land. This is the future of farming.
28. What is paragraph 1 mainly about
A. The gradual process of losing soil.
B. The worrying situation of soil erosion.
C. The alarming decrease of food output.
D. The great significance of soil protection.
29. What do we know about the book A World Without Soil
A. It targets federal officials as its main readers.
B. It puts forward some practical solutions to soil loss.
C. It advocates changing traditional farming techniques.
D. It blames governments for not taking care of farmlands.
30. What do Handelsman and Cohen suggest farmers do
A. Invest in the most profitable crops.
B. Grow and sell food all by themselves.
C. Shoulder the burden of protecting soil.
D. Work the land with government support.
31. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. A Call to Save Soil
B. Tips to Reshape Agriculture
C. Ways to Enrich Farmland
D. An Appeal to Guarantee Food Supply
D
James Dyson on Using Failure to Drive Success
My father died when I was nine, and I remember doing the household chores to help my mother. I hated changing the vacuum cleaner (真空吸尘器) bag and picking up things the machine did not suck up.
Twenty years later, in 1978, I was doing chores at home alongside my wife. One day the vacuum cleaner was screaming away, and I had to empty the bag because I could not find a replacement for it. With this lifelong hatred of the way the machine worked, I decided to make a bagless vacuum cleaner.
Easier said than done, of course. I didn’t realize that I would spend the next five years perfecting my design, a process that resulted in 5,127 different prototypes (设计原型). By the time I made my 15th prototype, my third child was born. By 2,627, my wife and I were really counting our pennies. By 3,727, my wife was giving art lessons for some extra cash, and we were getting further and further into debt. These were tough times, but each failure brought me closer to solving the problem.
I just had a passion for the vacuum cleaner as a product, but I never thought of going into a business with it. In the early 1980s, I started trying to get licensing agreements (许可协议) for my technology. The reality was very different, however. The major vacuum makers had built a business model based on the profits from bags and filters (滤网). No one would license my idea, not because it was a bad one, but because it was bad for business.
That gave me the courage to keep going, but soon after, the companies that I had talked with started making machines like mine. I had to fight legal battles on both sides of the Atlantic to protect the patents on my vacuum cleaner. However, I was still in financial difficulties until 1993, when my bank manager personally persuaded Lloyds Bank to lend me $1 million. Then I was able to go into production. Within two years, the Dyson vacuum cleaner became a best-seller in Britain.
Today, I still embrace risk and the potential for failure as part of the process. Nothing beats the excitement of invention. Go out and brainstorm your ideas. You are not bound to any rules — in fact, the stranger and riskier your idea, the better.
32. According to the article, which of the following statements about James Dyson is NOT true
A. He lost his father during his childhood and lived with his mother.
B. He decided to develop an innovative vacuum cleaner for his wife while in his thirties.
C. He built over five thousand prototypes of the vacuum cleaner between 1978 and 1983.
D. The vacuum cleaner he reinvented became popular with British customers as soon as it arrived on the market.
33. According to the article, Dyson’s bagless vacuum cleaner was produced in large numbers ______.
A. in the early 1980s
B. before he obtained a patent on the product
C. after his bank manager agreed to lend him $1 million
D. after he managed to get a $1 million loan
34. It can be inferred from the article that ______.
A. Dyson was a born businessman
B. Dyson had no confidence in his vacuum cleaner initially
C. Dyson’s invention might have ended up in failure without his wife
D. Dyson’s vacuum cleaner was never recognized by other vacuum makers
35. According to the article, which of the following would most likely be Dyson’s motto
A. We are all failures — at least the best of us are.
B. The foundation stones for a success are honesty, faith, love and loyalty.
C. It is only in adventure that some people succeed in knowing themselves.
D. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.
第二节：（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Have you become really interested in self-improvement lately This pursuit of more and better things, whether they be better health, clothes, or money has been normalized, but sometimes to the detriment of people’s well-being. This self-improvement mindset can make you feel disempowered, like you should be someone else. Here are five time-wasting self-improvement habits that are harmful to you.
Extremely high and unrealistic expectations
Having goals can be very helpful since it can help give you something to work towards and place your energy into. 36 This is a harmful habit because you’re not focused on yourself and your enjoyment of life, but on achieving other people’s ideals. Remember, you don’t have to be perfect, you just need to be yourself.
The quick culture mentality
The idea about how you must never give up or that you must constantly hustle, even at the expense of your health can be very damaging to your well-being. Sometimes, things just don’t work out and you need to give up, but that’s not a bad thing. 37 As much as there are people who have to support themselves and others by working long hours, constantly hustling without taking any breaks for yourself to get your bearings may only lead to burnout.
Putting aesthetics (审美) over health
Social media can be a tool to help you change your life for the better, it can also mislead how you see yourself and others. 38 Women are implored to get dangerous, unnecessary cosmetic surgery and men are told to be jacked up and in the gym by any means for those gains, but our bodies are not trends that we should be ashamed of.
Information without application
Like many others, you may decide to apply the self-improvement information once you finished reading all of it, but there are so many books about it and new ones keeps coming out. 39 As powerful as knowledge is, applied knowledge is the best kind. Don’t be afraid to apply what you’ve learnt into the world.
Visualizations without action
Perhaps you see yourself as a painter, or you wish you’d have a big house. Visualizing the life you want and putting it out there can be a great way to get yourself motivated. However, this can become an issue when you only put it out there and dream about it with nothing in between to bridge the gap. 40 Remember that you have to actually do it to get there.
It can be heartbreaking and tough, but it may be necessary.
B. It will be too bad if you fail to keep your momentum (推力，动力) and work
on.
C. You need to create great expectations in order to drive yourself forward.
D. If it lacks the structure and action, all you dream about is only a dream.
E. However，you might create wild expectations which are too much for yourself.
F. Instead of promoting healthy lifestyles, it advertises certain body types as desirable.
G. All of these how-to’s can be helpful, but they are useless if you don’t actually use them.

Body language is the quiet, secret and most powerful language of all! It speaks 41 than words. According to specialists, our bodies send out more 42 than we realize. In fact, non-verbal communication takes up about 50% of what we really 43 . And body language is particularly 44 when we attempt to communicate across cultures. Indeed, what is called body language is so 45 a part of us that it's actually often unnoticed. And misunderstandings occur as a result of it. For example, different societies treat the 46 between people differently. Northern Europeans usually do not like having 47 contact even with friends, and certainly not with strangers. People from Latin American countries, 48 , touch each other quite a lot. Therefore, it's possible that in 49 , it may look like a Latino is 50 a Norwegian all over the room. The Latino, trying to express friendship, will keep moving 51 . The Norwegian, very probably seeing this as pushiness, will keep backing away which the Latino will in return regard as coldness.
Clearly, a great deal is going on when people 52 . And only a part of it is in the words themselves. And when parties are from different cultures, there's a strong possibility of 53 . But whatever the situation, the best 54 is to obey the Golden Rule: treat others as you would like to be 55 .

第二节 原文填空（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）
A

B
Some body language has many different uses. Perhaps the best example is smiling. A smile can help us get 61 difficult situations and find friends in a world of strangers. A smile can 62 down barriers. We can use a smile to apologise, to greet someone, to ask for help, or to start a conversation. Experts suggest 63 at yourself in the mirror to make yourself feel happier and stronger. And if we are feeling down or lonely, there is nothing better than seeing the smiling face of a good friend.

Top Public Sculpture Parks to Visit in America
Kasmin Sculpture Garden (New York City)
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 meaning of silence varies among cultural groups. Silences may be thoughtful, or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say. A silence in a conversation may also show stubbornness, or worry. Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremely uncomfortable; therefore attempts may be made to fill every gap with conversation. Persons in other cultural groups value silence and view it as necessary for understanding a person's needs.
Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of communicating among people, just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do. Therefore, when a person from one of these cultures is speaking and suddenly stops, what maybe implied is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing. In these cultures, silence is a call for reflection.
Other cultures may use silence in other ways, particularly when dealing with conflicts among people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power. For example, Russian, French, and Spanish persons may use silence to show agreement between parties about the topic under discussion. However, Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in authority rather than be rude to that person by arguing with him or her. In still another use, persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect, particularly to an elder or a person in authority.
Nurses and other care-givers need to be aware of the possible meanings of silence when they come across the personal anxiety their patients may be experiencing. Nurses should recognize their own personal and cultural construction of silence so that a patient’s silence is not interrupted too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily. A nurse who understands the healing value of silence can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures.
24．What does the author say about silence in conversations
A．It implies anger. B．It promotes friendship.
C．It is culture-specific. D．It is content-based.
25．What may be the best title for the text
A．What It Means to Be Silent B．Sound and Silence
C．Silence to Native Americans D．Speech Is Silver; Silence Is Gold
26. What does the underlined word "gap" in the first paragraph mean
A. 缺口 B. 隔阂 C. 间隙 D. 漏洞
27．Where is the passage probably taken from
A．A guidebook. B．A travel journal.
C．An official document. D．A research magazine.
C
Soil creates life from death. The production of more than 95% of the food we eat relies on soil. But this precious resource is eroding (侵蚀) at a global average of 13.5 tons per hectare per year. Instead of nourishing crops, fertile topsoil is washed and blown away, ending up in inconvenient places such as ditches and oceans.
Jo Handelsman and Kayla Cohen try to make readers care about soil in A World Without Soil. Their prologue (前言) takes the form of a letter to the government. With the letter, they hope to make soil management a federal priority. The following chapters cover the basic science of soil as well as the causes and consequences of its erosion. In the last part of the book, the authors turn to possible solutions—many of them simple, and some centuries old. They describe about traditional soil management techniques, including planting diverse crops in rotation (轮种), increasing organic content, ploughing as little as possible, etc. With these techniques, farmers are able to produce rich agricultural production while maintaining deep banks of fertile soil.
Why, then, is fertile soil being allowed to be washed and blown away The answer, not surprisingly, rests in global capitalism. Farmers' profit is thin, forcing farmers to plant the highest-profit crop from field to field every season. To ensure food security, Handelsman and Cohen urge the world to demand a real top-down change in how agricultural production is managed. "The burden of protecting soil cannot be shifted to farmers and environmental activists," they note. Governments must begin to move towards a model in which farmers are less independent business people growing and selling food, and more government-supported land workers managing both food production and soil protection. This should be the core of agriculture.
Our land and soil are too precious to be destroyed by the market price of crops. We must invest deeply and thoughtfully in our farmers so that they can invest deeply and thoughtfully in the land. This is the future of farming.
28. What is paragraph 1 mainly about
A. The gradual process of losing soil.
B. The worrying situation of soil erosion.
C. The alarming decrease of food output.
D. The great significance of soil protection.
29. What do we know about the book A World Without Soil
A. It targets federal officials as its main readers.
B. It puts forward some practical solutions to soil loss.
C. It advocates changing traditional farming techniques.
D. It blames governments for not taking care of farmlands.
30. What do Handelsman and Cohen suggest farmers do
A. Invest in the most profitable crops.
B. Grow and sell food all by themselves.
C. Shoulder the burden of protecting soil.
D. Work the land with government support.
31. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. A Call to Save Soil
B. Tips to Reshape Agriculture
C. Ways to Enrich Farmland
D. An Appeal to Guarantee Food Supply
D
James Dyson on Using Failure to Drive Success
My father died when I was nine, and I remember doing the household chores to help my mother. I hated changing the vacuum cleaner (真空吸尘器) bag and picking up things the machine did not suck up.
Twenty years later, in 1978, I was doing chores at home alongside my wife. One day the vacuum cleaner was screaming away, and I had to empty the bag because I could not find a replacement for it. With this lifelong hatred of the way the machine worked, I decided to make a bagless vacuum cleaner.
Easier said than done, of course. I didn’t realize that I would spend the next five years perfecting my design, a process that resulted in 5,127 different prototypes (设计原型). By the time I made my 15th prototype, my third child was born. By 2,627, my wife and I were really counting our pennies. By 3,727, my wife was giving art lessons for some extra cash, and we were getting further and further into debt. These were tough times, but each failure brought me closer to solving the problem.
I just had a passion for the vacuum cleaner as a product, but I never thought of going into a business with it. In the early 1980s, I started trying to get licensing agreements (许可协议) for my technology. The reality was very different, however. The major vacuum makers had built a business model based on the profits from bags and filters (滤网). No one would license my idea, not because it was a bad one, but because it was bad for business.
That gave me the courage to keep going, but soon after, the companies that I had talked with started making machines like mine. I had to fight legal battles on both sides of the Atlantic to protect the patents on my vacuum cleaner. However, I was still in financial difficulties until 1993, when my bank manager personally persuaded Lloyds Bank to lend me $1 million. Then I was able to go into production. Within two years, the Dyson vacuum cleaner became a best-seller in Britain.
Today, I still embrace risk and the potential for failure as part of the process. Nothing beats the excitement of invention. Go out and brainstorm your ideas. You are not bound to any rules — in fact, the stranger and riskier your idea, the better.
32. According to the article, which of the following statements about James Dyson is NOT true
A. He lost his father during his childhood and lived with his mother.
B. He decided to develop an innovative vacuum cleaner for his wife while in his thirties.
C. He built over five thousand prototypes of the vacuum cleaner between 1978 and 1983.
D. The vacuum cleaner he reinvented became popular with British customers as soon as it arrived on the market.
33. According to the article, Dyson’s bagless vacuum cleaner was produced in large numbers ______.
A. in the early 1980s
B. before he obtained a patent on the product
C. after his bank manager agreed to lend him $1 million
D. after he managed to get a $1 million loan
34. It can be inferred from the article that ______.
A. Dyson was a born businessman
B. Dyson had no confidence in his vacuum cleaner initially
C. Dyson’s invention might have ended up in failure without his wife
D. Dyson’s vacuum cleaner was never recognized by other vacuum makers
35. According to the article, which of the following would most likely be Dyson’s motto
A. We are all failures — at least the best of us are.
B. The foundation stones for a success are honesty, faith, love and loyalty.
C. It is only in adventure that some people succeed in knowing themselves.
D. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.

Have you become really interested in self-improvement lately This pursuit of more and better things, whether they be better health, clothes, or money has been normalized, but sometimes to the detriment of people’s well-being. This self-improvement mindset can make you feel disempowered, like you should be someone else. Here are five time-wasting self-improvement habits that are harmful to you.
Extremely high and unrealistic expectations
Having goals can be very helpful since it can help give you something to work towards and place your energy into. 36 This is a harmful habit because you’re not focused on yourself and your enjoyment of life, but on achieving other people’s ideals. Remember, you don’t have to be perfect, you just need to be yourself.
The quick culture mentality
The idea about how you must never give up or that you must constantly hustle, even at the expense of your health can be very damaging to your well-being. Sometimes, things just don’t work out and you need to give up, but that’s not a bad thing. 37 As much as there are people who have to support themselves and others by working long hours, constantly hustling without taking any breaks for yourself to get your bearings may only lead to burnout.
Putting aesthetics (审美) over health
Social media can be a tool to help you change your life for the better, it can also mislead how you see yourself and others. 38 Women are implored to get dangerous, unnecessary cosmetic surgery and men are told to be jacked up and in the gym by any means for those gains, but our bodies are not trends that we should be ashamed of.
Information without application
Like many others, you may decide to apply the self-improvement information once you finished reading all of it, but there are so many books about it and new ones keeps coming out. 39 As powerful as knowledge is, applied knowledge is the best kind. Don’t be afraid to apply what you’ve learnt into the world.
Visualizations without action
Perhaps you see yourself as a painter, or you wish you’d have a big house. Visualizing the life you want and putting it out there can be a great way to get yourself motivated. However, this can become an issue when you only put it out there and dream about it with nothing in between to bridge the gap. 40 Remember that you have to actually do it to get there.
It can be heartbreaking and tough, but it may be necessary.
B. It will be too bad if you fail to keep your momentum (推力，动力) and work
on.
C. You need to create great expectations in order to drive yourself forward.
D. If it lacks the structure and action, all you dream about is only a dream.
E. However，you might create wild expectations which are too much for yourself.
F. Instead of promoting healthy lifestyles, it advertises certain body types as desirable.
G. All of these how-to’s can be helpful, but they are useless if you don’t actually use them.

Indeed, what is called body language is so 45 a part of us that it's actually often unnoticed. And misunderstandings occur as a result of it.

Clearly, a great deal is going on when people 52 . And only a part of it is in the words themselves. And when parties are from different cultures, there's a strong possibility of 53 . But whatever the situation, the best 54 is to obey the Golden Rule: treat others as you would like to be 55 .

B
Some body language has many different uses. Perhaps the best example is smiling. A smile can help us get 61 difficult situations and find friends in a world of strangers.
