The best releases out Sept. 30
By Stephen Thompson, Keanna Faircloth, Bob Boilen, Tarik Moody
It’s been five years since Björk last released an album, but now the Icelandic icon (偶像) is back with a deeply inventive set called Fossora. Every sound on the record feels as if it’s springing into the mix from a different direction, as her energetic voice shares space with everything from bass clarinets (低音单簧管) to the voices of Björk’s own creation. Fossora was inspired, at least in part, by the death of the singer’s mother, but joy also exists.

It isn’t just hardworking humans who need to rest after a long day, but service dogs too. A video of a stranger giving her pillow (枕头) to one on a plane has gone widely on TikTok (抖音), receiving more than 2 million likes, and over 12,800 TikTokers’ comments.
Dogs are the perfect companions for people with physical disabilities and those with mental-health conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety and depression.
In the U.S., service dogs weren’t legally recognized until the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was passed in 1990. As of 2019, 500,000 Americans were helped by service dogs.
Danny Anderson, manager at Support Dogs UK, told Newsweek: “Service dogs not only provide unbelievable physical support, but they also have a massively positive effect on mental health. Service dogs also act as a way for greater family harmony—providing a point for family activities, and they also help you feel more part of your community.”
“Disability, both physical and mental, can be lonely,” said Anderson. “A service dog breaks down barriers and encourages people to talk to you and get to know you.”
TikTokers couldn’t get enough of the stranger’s generosity in the video and the bond formed between them, with the woman seen putting her arm around the dog.
The top comment, with more than 110,000 likes, read: “SHE MADE MY HEART SMILE...
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL HUMAN BEING!” A TikToker wrote: “She was like: it’s our dog while he is here,” while another commented, “He probably helped her too. A dog close to you is always comfortable.”
Newsweek is passionate about giving service animals the recognition (认可) they deserve; Diese, the service dog helped his trainer with her battle with depression, and Yorkshire Terrier Cooper, another service dog, has been awarded Pet of the Week.
24. What does the first paragraph focus on?
A. An unlucky dog. B. A popular TikTok.
C. An unusual pillow. D. A hardworking stranger.
25. What can service dogs do according to Anderson?
A. Help people with sight problems. B. Prepare a family gathering.
C. Analyze different physics questions. D. Conduct community activities.
26. What can we say about most TikTokers’ reaction to the video?
A. They felt unbelievable. B. They felt unpleasant.
C. They made strange comments. D. They expressed special likes.
27. What can we learn about Diese?
A. He served Newsweek well. B. He got on well with his trainer.
C. He performed well as a service dog. D. He won the weekly pet star again.
C
This painting Spring Bouquet has a precise structure. The flowers spill over into the lower left-hand corner, with an imbalance as free and as wild as nature. But at once the artist responds to this unbalance. To the right of the vase, Renoir has developed a heavy shadow area, rich in purples and sharply contrasted with the light below it. The placing of the straight line in the lower right side is necessary. If the reader covers this line, he will see that the composition becomes unbalanced.
The Impressionist technique had not yet developed when Renoir painted this picture. Yet the painting with light and color indicates Impressionism is around the corner; there is something of that school in the feeling of the out-of-doors that Renoir has acquired. The texture (纹理) of the flowers is described. Above all, one can’t help saying the very nice smell of the flowers is there, too.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir was born in 1841. He began working as a young painter of porcelain and textiles. At age 21, Renoir entered the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris and went on to study under the instructions of painter Charles Gleyre’s. Even though his paintings had been initially rejected by the Academy and the public, with time he became one of the most admired artists of his generation.
Unfortunately, in 1899, he was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis (风湿性关节炎). It is a disease that causes a lot of pain. In addition, the person affected by it may also have deformities (畸形). Consequently, his movements became very limited and each movement was a big and certainly painful effort.
His son, Jean Renoir, writes in the book Renoir, My Father after his father passed away, the reaction of the people to the painting of the father, after seeing his hands:
Visitors who were unprepared for this could not take their eyes off his deformity. Though they did not dare to mention it, their reaction would be expressed by some such phrase as “It isn’t possible!” With hands like that, how can he paint those pictures? There’s some mystery somewhere.
28. What can readers see in the painting?
A. A vase in the left corner. B. A shadow to the vase’s right.
C. A straight line at the bottom. D. A natural light in the middle.
29. What seems quite special about this picture when people appreciate it?
A. The painting material. B. The color choice.
C. The smelly flower taste. D. The impressive feeling.
30. What does the underlined word “this” in the last paragraph refer to?
A. Renoir, My Father. B. Spring Bouquet.
C. Rheumatoid arthritis. D. Renoir’s bravery.
31. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Patience Is a Lifetime Practice B. Pain Passes, but Beauty Remains
C. Impressionism Is a Unique Technique D. Work hard, and You Will Catch Up
D
A Dutch city will become the first in the world to ban meat ads from public spaces in an effort to reduce consumption and greenhouse gas emissions (排放).
Haarlem, which lies to the west of Amsterdam and has a population of about 160,000, will perform the ban from 2024 after meat was added to a list of products contributing to the climate crisis. Ads will not be allowed on Haarlem’s buses, shelters and screens in public spaces, causing complaints that the city is “going too far”.
Recent studies suggest global food production is responsible for one-third of all planet-heating emissions, with the use of animals for meat accounting for twice the pollution of producing plant-based foods.
Forests that absorb carbon dioxide are cut for animals while fertilizers (化肥) used for growing their feed are rich in nitrogen, which can contribute to air and water pollution, climate change. Animals also produce large quantities of methane, a powerful greenhouse gas.
Ziggy Klazes, a councillor from the Groen Links party, who drafted the proposal banning meat advertising, said she had not known the city would be the world’s first to perform such a policy when she put forward it.
She told the Haarlem105 radio channel: “We are not about what people are baking and roasting in their own kitchen; if people wanted to continue eating meat, fine …We can’t tell people there’s a climate crisis and encourage them to buy products that are part of the cause.”
“Of course, there are a lot of people who find the decision unacceptable, but there are also a lot of people who think it’s fine.”
“It is a signal – if it is picked up nationally, that would only be very nice.”
Research suggests that to meet the European Union (EU) target of net zero emissions by 2050, meat consumption must be reduced to 24 kg per person per year, compared with the current average of 82 kg, or 75.8 kg in the Netherlands, which is the EU’s biggest meat exporter.
32. Which can best explain “going too far” underlined in Paragraph2?
A. Over-reacting to the climate crisis.
B. Caring too much about meat production.
C. Suffering from a serious lack of public spaces.
D. Sparing no pains to deal with greenhouse gas emissions.
33. What is Ziggy’s attitude towards the decision?
A. Indifferent. B. Ambiguous. C. Worried. D. Positive.
34. What does the last paragraph want to tell us?
A. Meat is the most popular food in Europe.
B. The current EU target is well worth adjusting.
C. It is a long way to reach the goal set by the EU.
D. The Netherlands should be responsible for meat production.
35. What type of writing is this text?
A. A research report. B. A news report.
C. An official document. D. A meeting summary. 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
