What’s New in Vancouver this week?
Vancouver’s Samburg Museum will feature a special exhibit of oil paintings be internationally acclaimed Swedish painter Oskar Hakala. Hakala, whose early work featured large-scale, scenic renderings of Swedish beaches, completed work last year on a collection entitled “Mind’s Eye” that features uncharacteristic small canvases. Nature is still a theme, but words in “Mind’s Eye” take on that subject on a much smaller scale. The curve of a single stone, the algae collected in a battered piece of driftwood, or the ripples on a section of sand after a wave. Hakala says that his departure from larger works is a natural progression “: My recent work is not just about being an observer of nature. Instead, I want to show how we are all a small part of it”.
The exhibit runs from August 12-22 in the Samburg Museum’s North Gallery, 432 Caroline Avenue, Vancouver. Tickets are $10.00. Complimentary tickets are available to museum members.

Hakala’s Latest Efforts Uninspired
The Oskar Hakala is a masterful painter is undeniable. I have spent many enjoyable hours studying his early work. Those paintings have a life of their own, and evolve into something new each time I see them. But with “Mind’s Eye”. Hakala misses the mark. His characteristic wide, sure strokes of the brush are missing. The new woks have a much lighter touch, giving the impression that he is not sure of himself as he ventures into new territory. More troubling is that this collection of work shows almost no difference in terms of theme from Anna Vestrom’s paintings. Vestrom depicts the small elements in nature, but in a much truer fashion than Hakala does in his recent work. As a great fan of Hakala, I can only hope to see something bolder.
1.What is indicated about Oskar Hakala’s recent work? ( )
A. It’s quite different from his other paintings.
B. It incorporates several types of paint.
C. It shows scenic views of Vancouver.
D. It took one year to complete.
【答案】A。关键词Oskar Hakala定位至第一段第一句。可知他的最近的作品是“mind’s eye”，与文中所描述的他的early work相比特点是不一样的。选项A正确。B项：“它包含了不同类型的画”，无中生有，排除;C项：“它呈现了温哥华的景色”，无中生有，温哥华只是展会的地址，排除;D项：“它花了一年时间才完成”，文段没有提及，排除;故答案选A。
2.What is mentioned about tickets to the exhibit? ( )
A. They can be purchased online.
B. They are less expensive when purchased in advance.
C. They go on sale August 15.
D. They are free for museum members.
【答案】D。是非题。关键词tickets to the exhibit定位至第二段倒数第二句，Tickets are $10.00. Complimentary(免费赠送) tickets are available to museum members，可知对于博物馆工作人员而言，票是免费的。且文段并没有说明可以在网上购票，A项排除;B项：“提前购买的话更便宜”，无中生有，排除;C项：“8月15号开售”，August 15只是公布这则通知的日期，并不是售票日期，排除;因此答案选D。
3.What is the purpose of the second article? ( )
A. To note that a popular exhibit is closing.
B. To analyze the use of light in modern art.
C. To give an opinion about the work of an artist.
D. To encourage the readers to attend a workshop given by an artist.
【答案】C。根据问题，关键词定位至第二篇文章。从第四句的but可知是对“mind’s eye”作品提出了自己的意见。选项C正确。A项：“通知一场闻名于世的展览即将关闭”;B项：“分析现代艺术采光的问题”，D项：“鼓励读者参加一位艺术家的展览”，只有C项符合原文，因此答案选C。
4.What is implied about Soren Lindgren? ( )
A. He has studied large-scale paintings by Oskar Hakala.
B. He dislikes Oskar Hakala’s the early paintings.
C. He works for the Samburg Museum.
D. He paints in a style similar to Oskar Hakala’s.
【答案】A。细节题。根据人名定位，可定位至原文第二篇文章，“I have spent many enjoyable hours studying his early work”，而Oskar Hakala早期作品的特点就是large-scale(在原文第一段的第二句话 Hakala, whose early work featured large-scale, scenic renderings of Swedish beaches, completed)，所以答案选A。B项表述错误，Soren Lindgren非常喜欢Hakala早期的作品，反而不太喜欢她近期的作品，排除;C项：“他为Samburg Museum工作”，无中生有，原文并没有提到，排除;D项：“他作画的风格和Hakala很像”，无中生有，排除;故答案选A。
5.What is suggested about Anna Vestrom’s work? ( )
A. It is painted on large canvases.
B. It shows details from nature.
C. It is currently on display at the Samburg Museum.
D. It has received praise from critics all over the world.
【答案】B。细节题。关键词Anna Vestrom’s work定位至第二篇文章倒数第二句，Vestrom depicts the small elements in nature, but in a much truer fashion than Hakala does in his recent work，可知她的作品描述的是自然的小元素。选项B是用details同义替换small elements，因此答案选B。A项：“它被画在一张巨大的画布上”，无中生有，排除;C项：“它现在正方在 Samburg Museum进行展览”，无中生有，排除;D项：“他受到世界各地的批评家的赞扬”，无中生有，排除;故答案选B。
