2023 is zipping along at quite a speed, and London's already witnessed some great exhibitions.But big treats——including Kubrick, Tutankhamun and William Blake are still to come.
Van Gogh's Sunflowers and Starry Night Over the Rhone
A major exhibition at Tate Britain, which examines how Van Gogh was inspired by British art,and how he in turn inspired British artists. His famous Sunflowers fill the gallery with joy, while a work of a red-haired man with sharp blue eyes stares out intensely at visitors.
The EY Exhibition: Van Gogh and Britain at Tate Britain. Until 11 August 2024, 22.
Glass Master at Kew Gardens
Dale Chihuly creates sculptures out of glass that we would normally think impossible. His bright colorful forms twist and expand as if they are living creatures. Given the organic nature of his work, placing 32 of these sculptures around Kew Gardens feels like a natural fit.
Chihuly at Kew: Reflections on Nature at Kew Gardens. 13 April-27 October 2024, 13.75(includes general admission to the gardens).
AI at Barbican

William Blake at Tate Britain
The largest William Blake exhibition in 20 years comes to Tate Britain this autumn, celebrating the work of a singular artistic talent. Blake’s ill-fated exhibition of 1809 held above his family’s shop in Soho, meant that he never received public praise in his time. Tate Britain hopes to change this, by exhibiting over 300 original watercolors, paintings and prints ——as well as recreating the tiny domestic room in which Blake created most of his works.

I was 68 when I first stepped on stage as a standup comedia n in 2003. I'd never set foot in a comedy club before. I've always been a performer-I've worked as a singer, actor and musician-but all that came to an end after I found people around didn't want to go out and entertain themselves.
It was then that I started to think about comedy. I realized people needed to laugh, to enjoy themselves again, and thought that with a little training I could do it. I took a few classes, tried to work out a routine, and finally plucked up the courage to get up on stage. That first time was terrifying. I had no idea what the audience would make of me.
In New York, comedians are typically young men with beards. It's hard enough to break through, even harder as someone old enough to be their grandmother. As I stepped on stage that first time, people laughed nervously. But by the time I tried my first joke, people were properly laughing.1 was enchanted(陶醉) by the charm and power of comedy.
Now, I might be on stage for 10 minutes in front of a dozen people, or my one-woman show is a full hour in front of a crowd of 100. After a show, people young and old come up to me, saying what an inspiration I am.
They say they want to be as active as me when they reach my age. I'm pleased I can show that as an old person you don't need to take a back seat in life.
Last year, I was recognized as the oldest female standup comedian in the world. My friends think I'm mad. They don't understand why I wouldn't choose to take it easy. But I like engaging with the world and you've got to be in touch to be funny. I've no intention of stopping comedy. I'm trying to stay alive, and I hope to still be performing when I'm 100. My goal is to still be up there making people laugh. It's hard work, but it stops me being bored.

It's cold and dark outside, and your bed is so warm and comfortable. Going for a run seems like such a bad idea. But before you put your running shoes away, it might be worth giving that crazy idea a try.
According to The Huffington Post, an outdoor run in winter, instead of running on a treadmill(跑步机), burns more calories because the body is working hard to regulate(调节) its temperature.Besides, research shows that race times are faster in cold weather than in warmer temperatures—and quicker runs burn more calories. Similarly, cold weather also makes the heart work harder to distribute blood through the body, making that vital muscle even stronger.
Outdoor exercise also turns up your energy and r ids you of the stress and depression that build up every day. The heat and humidity in summer can drag you down and tire you faster, but cold weather is refreshing. It adjusts you to your surroundings, making you feel energetic.
Of course, the threat of smog in some built-up areas is a further problem to winter exercise.Heart attacks, strokes and lung cancer are all dangers of running in smog. The combination of air pollution and exercise increases the potential problems. If you do choose to run outside on smoggy days, take a path in a park or residential area to avoid polluted air, and go early in the morning,before rush hour. But staying inside on smoggy days and waiting for the next clear day to run is best.
28. How does cold weather benefit runners compared with warm weather
A. They can run more slowly. B. They can take in more calories.
C. Their hearts can work harder. D. Their body temperature can get lower.
29. How does summer affect runners
A. It makes runners tired easily. B. It builds up their energy quickly.
C. It lessens runners' stress. D. It causes heart attacks.
30. What are the runners supposed to do on smoggy days
A. Stop driving cars. B. Run late in the morning.
C. Do more exercise. D. Avoid outdoor exercise.
31. Which of the following opinion will be supported by the writer
A. We should go to run in a park every day:
B. It's much better to take outdoor exercise in summer.
C. We can refresh ourselves with a winter run.
D. We'd better run on treadmill to reduce stress.
D
By drawing patterns on the surface of a cup of tea, chabaixi, an ancient Chinese tea trick displayed in a recent 1 V drama, has gone viral for its apparent similarity with modern
latte art(咖啡拉花艺术). However, ten years ago, this distinctive technique was close to disappearing completely,Zhang Zhifeng, a practitioner of chabaixi, found scenes of chabaixi in the drama aroused great interest among ordinary people.
Chabaixi can create endless patterns such as bamboos and mountains or even calligraphy. There
are over a dozen steps, from grinding(碾碎) tea for fine powder to pouring boiled water, stirring the mixture for thick froth, and finally drawing the patterns. It is different from making latte because people use clear water as the object to put into the cup instead of milk. But when the water touches the surface of Whipped(搅打起泡沫的) tea, it turns into a white color and disappears in 20 minutes.The process before the drawing is known as the tea-making technique, diancha, the quality of which is crucial to whether patterns can be successfully produced later.
“Chabaixi is one of the countless forms of tea-making techniques in China. The importance of chabaixi is that not only this technique is unique in the world, but also it gives us a window into people's lifestyle in the Song Dynasty, a period of time when leisure activities in some ways resemble what we have now,”Zhang said.
Before chabaixi was discovered by TV audiences, the technique was listed as part of ChinasIntangible Cultural Heritage in 2017, after it was recovered by Zhang Zhifeng, who spent nearly 30years studying and researching the origins and making of tea, but for him it was all worth-while.
“This technique is key to the tea culture of the Song Dynasty, and it would be a shame to let it fade. This technique must be passed on to the next generations so they can understand its history,”Zhang said.
32. What do the underlined words“gone viral”in paragraph l probably mean
A. Received good protection. B. Become popular quickly.
C. Started declining gradually. D. Maintained highly competitive.
33. What do we know about chabaixi
A. It is painted with whipped milk. B. It develops based on latte art.
C. It mainly, describes beautiful scenery. D. It involves complicated tea-making skills.
34. What is the third paragraph mainly about
A. The origin of chabaixi. B. The uniqueness of chabaixi.
C. O The development of chabaixi. D. The significance of chabaixi.
35. What can we infer about Zhang Zhifeng
A. He teaches people the tea culture of the Song Dynasty.
B. He is leading young generations to innovate chabaixi.
C. He encourages people to pass on the technique of chabaixi.
D. He is committed to developing chabaixi through media.

Dear teachers and students,
There is no denying that electricity plays a great role in our life. However, it is being consumed too much, which is a waste of money and contributes to global warming. Therefore, as the chief editor of our school newspaper, I am writing to call on everyone to save electricity.
First of all, the simplest way to save electricity is to turn off lights whenever you leave a room. Besides, open up your curtains and let the sun shine in. Using natural light whenever possible instead of artificial light can greatly reduce the amount of electricity you use during the day. Last but not least, it is advisable to replace outdated energy-consuming appliances with energy-efficient ones, which saves more in the long run.
Every little bit counts. Let’s make joint efforts to save energy and live a green low-carbon life.

Ricky saw that he was open but he didn’t care. Ricky went to try and shoot, but missed. Their team lost by one point. Nick was right by the basket but Ricky didn’t pass the ball because he didn’t like Nick. As soon as the game was over, the coach waited for them all to get into the locker room and said sadly, “There was no reason we should lose. We were one point behind. Ricky could have made it but he decided to shoot himself. I’m so disappointed.”
Nick decided to talk to Ricky after they failed the game. “Only if we work together can we succeed,” Nick said seriously. Ricky regretted what he had done and realized the importance of good teamwork. Weeks went by and it was time for another game. Ricky and Nick were both in. They were working together. They caught up and ended up winning the rest of the games of the whole season. Nick and Ricky became really good friends. They can’t wait till next year to play again .
