Many visual artists have a signature style, as unique and identifiable as a fingerprint. For Amoako Boafo, who often

paints with his fingers, this seems doubly true. His distinctive paint strokes( 笔画)combine the complex skin tones of his

chosen subjects, many of whom are, like himself, Africans with global life experiences.

Boafo, whose first solo museum exhibition runs at the Seattle Art Museum, was born and raised in Accra, Ghana,

and moved to Vienna, Austria, in 2014, where he ran into difficulties, with gallerists unwilling to show his works due to

his focus on Black figures. He continued making an effort to create self-portraits( 自画像 ) and people he knew or

admired-African people and Black people who have African ancestry, painting a community of sorts during a time of

hardship. He also developed his standout approach to figurative painting, which combines areas of bright and noticeable

color with his soft and deep fingerpainting.

He began posting his art online and caught the attention of artists like Kehinde Wiley, the celebrated American artist.

The word started to spread.

Boafo is now a global art star, with numerous shows at galleries and art fairs, working with fashion house Dior, and

several paintings selling for over a million dollars. In 2021, with three of his paintings being launched into space by Blue

Origin, Jeff Bezos' Kent-based spaceflight company, you might even say Boafo has rocketed to success.

And yet a recent phone conversation with the artist from his studio in Accra, which is once again his home base,

revealed a well-mannered person who appreciated his success while pointing out all of the luck and preparation that led to

it. Seeing so many of his paintings -created from 2016 to 2022-gathered together in an exhibition has helped him

remember that “I did not 'just happen. ' I did not expect this success but I was hopeful and ready for it. "

24. What makes Boafo's paintings different from other artists' works?

A. His finger strokes. B. His home country. ss-ess

C. His life experiences. D. His traditional style.

25. How did Boafo deal with the difficult situation in Austria?

A. By turning to celebrated artists for help. B. By developing a unique painting style.

C. By running his art exhibition at home. D. By working with local art galleries.

26. What is the author's purpose in mentioning the spaceflight company?

A. To indicate the price of space travel. B. To show the value of Boafo's works.

C. To introduce an international brand. D. To tell us the advances in technology.

27. What can we learn about Boafo?

A. He is talkative. B. He is patient. C. He is determined. D. He is humorous.

Seafloor cables(光缆) carry over 95% of all digital data traffic worldwide, including financial trading information

and social media communications. However, how the Earth's changing climate could impact this vast undersea network

has been relatively understudied until now.

In a new study published in Earth-Science Reviews, an international team of researchers led by the UK's National

Oceanography Centre(NOC) worked to illuminate this problem by assessing how and where future climate change is

likely to impact subsea cables.

By analyzing published datasets, the researchers identified regional climate change “hotspots” where threats to

subsea cables may become more intense. These include areas in the western Pacific where changes to tropical cyclone( 热

带气旋) intensity and frequency have already increased cable damage.

"In our paper, we conducted the first comprehensive assessment of a range of climate-related threats to seafloor

cables across the globe and their landing stations," says study co-author Thomas Wahl. “Our analysis clearly stresses the

need to carefully plan cable routes and landing station locations factoring in a range of local threats and how those are

affected by climate change. "

When we look at Florida, there are at least 21 subsea telecommunications cables that connect to the Florida

coastline, North and South America and the Caribbean, meaning that there will be a breakdown in communications

worldwide if a cable is damaged, the researchers say.

However, the study identifies the importance of assessing changing conditions, particularly where multiple cable

systems share a landing point, as they may be affected by combinations of threats that affect the low-lying Florida

coastline, such as sea level rise, and changes in storm activity. “Our reliance on cables that are no wider than a garden

hose( 软管 ) is a surprise to many, who regard satellites as the main means of communication," says lead author Mike

Clare, a researcher with NOC. “But satellites simply don't have the bandwidth to support modern digital systems. The

‘cloud' is not in the sky—it is under the sea. "

28. What does the underlined word “illuminate" in paragraph 2 probably mean?

A. Find. B. Miss. C. Explain. D. Connect.

29. What is the third paragraph mainly about?

A. The threat of sea level rise. B. The finding of the study.

C. The cause of climate change. D. The method of the research.

30. Which of the following best describes Florida in the global network?

A. Effective. B. Complex. C. Stable. D. Critical.

31. What can we infer from Mike Clare's words?

A. Subsea cables are more important for global communications.

B. Satellites have the ability to support modern digital systems.

C. Natural disasters will happen frequently due to climate change.

D. There is no need to assess potential threats to seafloor cables.

For Kurt Gray, a social psychologist at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, conducting experiments

comes with certain problems. Before starting any study, his lab must get ethical( 伦理的)approval from an institutional

review board, which can take weeks or months. Then his team has to hire online participants—easier than bringing people

into the lab, but Gray says the online subjects are often lazy. Then the researchers spend hours cleaning the data. But

earlier this year, Gray accidentally saw an alternative way to do things.

He was working with computer scientists at the Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence to see whether they could

develop an AI system that made moral judgments like humans. But first they figured they'd see if a system from the

startup OpenAI could already do the job. The team asked GPT-3.5, which produces human-like text, to judge the ethics of

464 scenarios(情境 ), previously evaluated by human subjects. It turned out that the system's answers were nearly the

same as human responses.

“This is crazy," Gray says. “If you can just ask GPT to make these judgments, why don't you just ask GPT instead of

asking people?" The results were published this month in Trends in Cognitive Science.
