【答案】 C
B
Millions of New Yorkers and visitors ride the city's subways and other trains each day.The public transportation system offers more than just a trip,however.It also has one of the most extensive public art collections in the world, with many of them under city streets.
Some people call it New York's“underground art museum”.It includes more than 250 works of art.They are meant to brighten everyone's ride around the city.
There is a huge painting of the night sky on the ceiling of Grand Central Terminal.New Yorkers have been looking up at that artwork for 111 years.In the nearby Grand Central Market, you can find a large, crystal light fixture,which was completed by sculptor Donald Lipski in 1988.Other artists include new ones and the longfamous ones such as Roy Lichtenstein and Sol Lewitt.
Sandra Bloodworth has directed the Metropolitan Transportation Authority's arts program since it began in 1985.But actually, it really began much earlier,and some of it even dates back to the time when the subway first opened in 1904.
For the past 30 years, artists have been asked to make works that relate to city life or to the neighborhood around a train station.There are coastal scenes at stations near the Atlantic Ocean.Native plants and flowers can be found in a garden scene in Brooklyn.
Alejandra Acosta, a visitor from Colombia, said,“I think it's nice to see these kinds of things when you're walking in spaces like the subway stations that seem a little bit dull.They don't have a lot of decorations.”
