Allegory (寓言) and Abstraction: Selections from the Department of Drawings and Prints
Time: Through December 9, 2025
Location: The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met) Fifth Avenue in Gallery 690
Cost: Free with Museum admission
Phone: 212-535-7710
Overview
The Department of Drawings and Prints of The Met takes pride in more than one million drawings, prints, and illustrated books made in Europe and the Americas from around 1400 to the present day. Because of their number and sensitivity to light, the works can only be exhibited for a limited period. To highlight the vast range of works on paper, the department organizes four exhibitions a year in the Robert Wood Johnson, Jr. Gallery. Each exhibition is the product of cooperation among curators (馆长) and consists of up to 100 objects grouped by artist, technique, style, period, or subject.
The current exhibition this year explores the ways artists embed (嵌入) their works with complex layers of meaning, whether relating stories, ideas, and feelings through symbols, as in allegory, or suggesting them through line, color, and pattern, as in abstraction. Featured is Matisse’s 1947 series Jazz. Its colorful images bring to mind joyful memories of circuses, folktales, and travel, and also indicate the dark days in France during World War II. From the same year, Louise Bourgeois’s He Disappeared into Complete Silence, described by the artist as “a drama of the self”, similarly employs allegory and abstraction to create a psychological self-portrait. Also on view are works about dancers, ranging in date from the Renaissance to the twentieth century. In these works, emotions and stories unfold through abstract movements.
Important watercolors by J. M. W. Turner and Thomas Girtin, whose treatment of light, color, and atmosphere anticipated aspects of twentieth-century abstraction, are shown in recognition of the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of each artist’s birth.
1. How can visitors attend the current exhibition without charge
A. Gaining admission into The Met.
B Arranging the visit after December 9.

At a primary school in Takeo province’s Tram Kok District, the students in Grade One read aloud from their storybooks, copying the movements of animals in the story. With arms stretched wide like wings, they fly with excitement, their faces lit up with joy as they bring each sentence to life.
Thanks to an Early Grade Learning initiative, which is to tackle constant learning challenges among early grade learners of primary education and was introduced by the Ministry of Education of Cambodia (柬埔寨), with support from UNICEF.
In Cambodia, despite significant progress in education, most students fail to meet the minimum proficiency (能力) levels in essential skills like reading and mathematics. National learning assessments for Grade Six in 2021 revealed 45 per cent of students were below basic proficiency in Cambodian and 75 per cent were below basic proficiency in mathematics.
Now, instead of relying only on traditional textbooks and learning, teachers use structured and engaging learning tools that make learning both more fun and more effective. New student books, writing practice books, storybooks, flashcards, and colourful classroom visuals help students master Cambodian letters and sounds in a step-by-step way.
Alongside the introduction of the new teaching materials, all Grade One teachers, primary school directors, and school mentors (导师) from Tram Kok District participated in training on EGR instruction methods, facilitation skills and classroom management.
“There were times when I felt confused about what and how to teach, and I was never sure if my pronunciation or explanations were correct,” teacher Nop Chankev says. “But now, with systematic lesson plans and well-designed materials, my lessons have a much clearer flow, and the students are able to follow along much more easily. After completing the teacher training, I feel I have the ability to prepare and deliver my classes successfully.”
“In the past, when external support ended, the programmes often stopped as well,” says Say Nak, a school director and master mentor overseeing several schools in Tram Kok District. “But now, with ongoing training, mentoring, materials, and teaching methods in place, support continues at the school level.”
4. What is described in paragraph 1
A. A traditional teacher-led lesson. B. A colourful after-school activity.
C. A lively classroom learning scene. D. A challenge for early grade learners.
5. What is the purpose of paragraph 3
A. To provide background information. B. To comment on the former situation.
C. To raise a new topic for discussion. D. To detail a recently launched program.
6. What was the feature of previous early grade education in Tram Kok District
A. Little external support was provided.
B. Learning tools weren’t well structured.
C. There weren’t enough mentors at school.
D. Students disliked Cambodian letters.
7. How does the teacher training affect Nop Chankev
A. It allows him to get a pay raise.
B. It reduces his interaction with students.
C. It inspires him to change his profession.
D. It increases his confidence in teaching.
C
Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University's Robotics Institute (RI) have developed a new sensing technology, called SonicBoom. It’s designed to help robots locate and identify crops using sound rather than cameras like before. The system, still in early development, could eventually assist agricultural robots with tasks such as pruning (修剪树枝) or detecting ripe fruit hidden by leaves.
Lee, a Ph. D. student in robotics, explained that the technology can determine the three-dimensional (3-D) shape of objects through touch, without relying on a camera. This approach solves a common problem in agricultural robotics, where visual sensors struggle to operate effectively in environments with heavy leaf cover that obscures both the fruit and the paths robot arms must take to reach it.
SonicBoom differs from existing sensors by using contact microphones to detect vibrations (振动) when an object is touched. Unlike camera-based touch sensors, which can be weak, or pressure sensors, which can be expensive to install over large areas, contact microphones are more durable and can be housed in protective casings. The prototype (原型) consists of six contact microphones mounted inside a PVC pipe. When the pipe makes contact with an object such as a branch, the microphones record vibrations, and the system locates the point of contact with a precision between 0.43 and 2.2 centimeters. The PVC housing also protects the microphones from damage.
To train the system, the team collected data from 18,000 contacts between the sensor and a wooden rod. A machine learning model was then used to map the audio signals to specific contact points. While the current version is designed to detect rigid objects, adjustments to the set-up could enable it to sense softer targets, such as fruit.
Lee said further research is exploring the potential for the microphone array to identify objects in addition to locating them. Possible uses outside agriculture could include safety systems for robots working near people, robots designed for human interaction, or operations in low-light environments.
8. What is special about SonicBoom compared with previous sensors
A. It is much cheaper to develop.
B. It can work without using cameras.
C. It will replace agricultural workers.
D. It serves longer in indoor conditions.
9. What does the underlined word “obscures” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Protects. B. Damages. C. Hides. D. Exposes.
10. What can be inferred about the prototype of SonicBoom from the text
A. It does well in detecting softer objects.
B. It needs 18,000 contacts to work normally.
C. It gains protection from the PVC housing.
D. It needs more microphones for better precision.
11. What does Lee think of the future of SonicBoom
A. Promising. B. Limited. C. Profitable. D. Impractical.
D
According to a new study, harmful microplastics are not only stored in agricultural and urban soils, but also in forests. The majority of the tiny plastic particles (颗粒) enter the forests from the air and stay in the forest soil.
“The microplastics from the atmosphere initially settle on the leaves of the tree crowns, which scientists refer to as the ‘comb-out effect’,” explains lead author Dr Collins J. Weber from the Institute of Applied Geosciences at TU Darmstadt. “Then, in deciduous (落叶) forests, the particles are transported to the forest soil by rain or the autumn leaf fall, for example.”
To conduct their study, researchers from the Department of Soil Mineralogy and Soil Chemistry collected samples at four forest locations east of Darmstadt, Germany. They applied a newly refined analytical technique that allowed them to measure the concentration of microplastics in soil, fallen leaves, and atmospheric deposition (the movement of substances from the Earth’s atmosphere to its surface). The team then used spectroscopic (光谱学) methods to chemically analyze the samples. In addition, they created a model estimating atmospheric microplastic inputs since the 1950s, helping them assess how much these inputs have contributed to overall storage in forest soils.
“Our results indicate that microplastics in forest soils originate primarily from atmospheric deposition and from leaves falling to the ground, known as litterfall. Other sources, on the other hand, have only a minor influence,” explains Weber. “We conclude that forests are good indicators of atmospheric microplastic pollution and that a high concentration of microplastics in forest soils indicates a high input — as opposed to direct inputs such as from fertilizers in agriculture — of particles from the air into these ecosystems.”
The study is the first to demonstrate the pollution of forests with microplastics and the direct link between atmospheric inputs and the storage of microplastics in forest soil, as these issues had not previously been scientifically investigated. The results provide an important basis for assessing the environmental risks posed by microplastics in the air and soil. The findings may highlight the global transport of microplastics in the air and thus also in the air we breathe.
12. What does Weber want to tell us in paragraph 2
A. The meaning of a new concept. B. The features of deciduous forests.
C. Why trees can consume plastics. D. How microplastics enter forest soil.
13. What did the researchers do in the study
A. They got involved in forest restoration programs.
B. They collected random samples of agricultural soils.
C. They investigated atmospheric microplastic inputs.
D. They recommended redefining atmospheric deposition.
14. What can be learned about the findings of the study
A. They break the tie between forests and plastics.
B. They have previously been scientifically proved.
C. They go against the global transport of microplastics.
D. They might contribute to evaluation of environmental threats.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. Forests Are Raining Plastics B. Forest Soils Are Decreasing
C. Will Forests Provide Clean Air D. Can Forests Fight Microplastics

47. 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。
Coach Dad
John Haney had no interest in basketball, and he’d never thought about being a basketball coach either. But when his 8-year-old son Jack hopped over and asked, “Dad, could you sign me up for the school basketball game and be my coach ”, something in John’s heart felt different.
As a business consultant who worked long hours, John often wondered if he was a good father, for his own dad had been very distant, leaving him eager to stay close to his own child. Even so, he hesitated. “I know nothing about basketball,” he thought. “And Jack’s interests change so fast. He might not like basketball tomorrow.”
Having known about John’s concern, his wife Ashley encouraged him, “Jack really wants this. Why not give it a try ” Drawing strength from the words, John sat at his computer, filled out Jack’s team application, clicked the box that said “I’d like to coach my child!” and hit SEND.
Their first practice in the basketball stadium was a disaster. John wanted to show Jack how to shoot, but he did it badly. Jack ran around with no idea what to do. On the drive home, to John’s surprise, Jack said he had fun. That night, lying in bed, John thought a lot. Finally, he decided that the most important thing wasn’t being perfect — it was making sure his son had fun.
At the beginning of the next practice, John looked Jack in the eye and said, “Today, our only goal is to have fun — miss as many baskets as you want, the more, the happier!” Unbelieving, Jack laughed and started shooting freely. After a while, his ball hit the backboard and went into the hoop (篮筐)! “I did it, Dad!” Jack shouted with a big smile. John rushed over to hug him, thinking, “This moment is all that matters.”

1.续写词数应为150左右；
