Many visual artists have a signature style, as unique and identifiable as a fingerprint. Fr Amak Baf, wh ften paints with his fingers, this seems dubly true. His distinctive paint strkes(笔画)cmbine the cmplex skin tnes f his chsen subjects, many f whm are, like himself, Africans with glbal life experiences.
Baf, whse first sl museum exhibitin runs at the Seattle Art Museum, was brn and raised in Accra, Ghana, and mved t Vienna, Austria, in 2014, where he ran int difficulties, with gallerists unwilling t shw his wrks due t his fcus n Black figures. He cntinued making an effrt t create self-prtraits(自画像) and peple he knew r admired-African peple and Black peple wh have African ancestry, painting a cmmunity f srts during a time f hardship. He als develped his standut apprach t figurative painting, which cmbines areas f bright and nticeable clr with his sft and deep fingerpainting.
He began psting his art nline and caught the attentin f artists like Kehinde Wiley, the celebrated American artist. The wrd started t spread.
Baf is nw a glbal art star, with numerus shws at galleries and art fairs, wrking with fashin huse Dir, and several paintings selling fr ver a millin dllars. In 2021, with three f his paintings being launched int space by Blue Origin, Jeff Bezs' Kent-based spaceflight cmpany, yu might even say Baf has rcketed t success.
And yet a recent phne cnversatin with the artist frm his studi in Accra, which is nce again his hme base, revealed a well-mannered persn wh appreciated his success while pinting ut all f the luck and preparatin that led t it. Seeing s many f his paintings -created frm 2016 t 2022-gathered tgether in an exhibitin has helped him remember that “I did nt 'just happen. ' I did nt expect this success but I was hpeful and ready fr it. "
24. What makes Baf's paintings different frm ther artists' wrks?
A. His finger strkes. B. His hme cuntry. ss-ess

Seaflr cables(光缆) carry ver 95% f all digital data traffic wrldwide, including financial trading infrmatin and scial media cmmunicatins. Hwever, hw the Earth's changing climate culd impact this vast undersea netwrk has been relatively understudied until nw.
In a new study published in Earth-Science Reviews, an internatinal team f researchers led by the UK's Natinal Oceangraphy Centre(NOC) wrked t illuminate this prblem by assessing hw and where future climate change is likely t impact subsea cables.
By analyzing published datasets, the researchers identified reginal climate change “htspts” where threats t subsea cables may becme mre intense. These include areas in the western Pacific where changes t trpical cyclne(热带气旋) intensity and frequency have already increased cable damage.
"In ur paper, we cnducted the first cmprehensive assessment f a range f climate-related threats t seaflr cables acrss the glbe and their landing statins," says study c-authr Thmas Wahl. “Our analysis clearly stresses the need t carefully plan cable rutes and landing statin lcatins factring in a range f lcal threats and hw thse are affected by climate change. "
When we lk at Flrida, there are at least 21 subsea telecmmunicatins cables that cnnect t the Flrida castline, Nrth and Suth America and the Caribbean, meaning that there will be a breakdwn in cmmunicatins wrldwide if a cable is damaged, the researchers say.
Hwever, the study identifies the imprtance f assessing changing cnditins, particularly where multiple cable systems share a landing pint, as they may be affected by cmbinatins f threats that affect the lw-lying Flrida castline, such as sea level rise, and changes in strm activity. “Our reliance n cables that are n wider than a garden hse(软管) is a surprise t many, wh regard satellites as the main means f cmmunicatin," says lead authr Mike Clare, a researcher with NOC. “But satellites simply dn't have the bandwidth t supprt mdern digital systems. The ‘clud' is nt in the sky—it is under the sea. "
28. What des the underlined wrd “illuminate" in paragraph 2 prbably mean?
A. Find. B. Miss. C. Explain. D. Cnnect.
29. What is the third paragraph mainly abut?
A. The threat f sea level rise. B. The finding f the study.
C. The cause f climate change. D. The methd f the research.
30. Which f the fllwing best describes Flrida in the glbal netwrk?
A. Effective. B. Cmplex. C. Stable. D. Critical.
31. What can we infer frm Mike Clare's wrds?
A. Subsea cables are mre imprtant fr glbal cmmunicatins.
B. Satellites have the ability t supprt mdern digital systems.
C. Natural disasters will happen frequently due t climate change.
D. There is n need t assess ptential threats t seaflr cables.

Fr Kurt Gray, a scial psychlgist at the University f Nrth Carlina at Chapel Hill, cnducting experiments cmes with certain prblems. Befre starting any study, his lab must get ethical(伦理的)apprval frm an institutinal review bard, which can take weeks r mnths. Then his team has t hire nline participants—easier than bringing peple int the lab, but Gray says the nline subjects are ften lazy. Then the researchers spend hurs cleaning the data. But earlier this year, Gray accidentally saw an alternative way t d things.
He was wrking with cmputer scientists at the Allen Institute fr Artificial Intelligence t see whether they culd develp an AI system that made mral judgments like humans. But first they figured they'd see if a system frm the startup OpenAI culd already d the jb. The team asked GPT-3.5, which prduces human-like text, t judge the ethics f 464 scenaris(情境), previusly evaluated by human subjects. It turned ut that the system's answers were nearly the same as human respnses.
“This is crazy," Gray says. “If yu can just ask GPT t make these judgments, why dn't yu just ask GPT instead f asking peple?" The results were published this mnth in Trends in Cgnitive Science.
Nw, researchers are cnsidering AI's ability t act as human subjects in fields such as psychlgy, plitical science, ecnmics, and market research. N ne is yet suggesting that chatbts can cmpletely replace humans in behaviral studies. But they may act as cnvenient stand-ins(替代者) in pilt studies and fr designing experiments, saving time and mney. Language mdels might als help with experiments that wuld be t impractical, r even dangerus t run with peple. “It's a really interesting time," says Ayelet Israeli, a marketing prfessr at Harvard Business Schl wh believes the mdels' impact n behaviral research culd amunt t a “revlutin". “Sme f these results are just astnishing. "
32. What is a prblem facing Kurt Gray at the start f a study?
A. Online participants demand higher pay. B. Vlunteers dislike the nline experiment.
C. Preparatins take lts f time and effrt. D. Researchers lack skills t functin in teams.
33. Hw des Kurt Gray find GPT?
A. Demanding. B. Wrrying. C. Amusing. D. Satisfying.
34. What is an advantage f language mdels accrding t the text?
A. They can be applied t cases difficult t study. B. They may replace human subjects cmpletely.
C. They will imprve peple's well-being. D. They might prmte ecnmic grwth.
35. Which can be a suitable title fr the text?
A. What Has AI Brught Abut? B. What D We Expect f GPT
C. Shuld We Get Rid f Chatbts? D. Can AI Help Behaviral Research?

I gt thrugh anther lng, annying day teaching high schl English via Zm. Upn reaching my ffice, I pulled up my wrk email. There was a message frm a wman wh I didn't knw: Gigi Shepherd, wh asked hw she culd jin my class. “Was she a new teaching assistant?" I wndered. I'd never dne any c-teaching. And I certainly wasn't interested in ding it nw with a stranger.
The email must be a mistake. Befre I culd figure it ut, the principal called. She explained that Ms. Shepherd had gt the passcde that wuld grant(同意) her admittance t my Zm space.
"It's gd news!" the principal said. “Our district is trying t imprve teachers' skills by placing experienced part-time teachers with new full-time educatrs. It means mre help fr yu. "
“Can't yu put her in anther classrm?" I said. “I'm just fine alne. "
"The assignments have been made," she said.“ This will be fine. "
Deep dwn, I disliked changes. When things didn't g as I wanted, I tended t get anxius. That evening, I emailed the stranger, as I'd cme t think f her, with directins fr jining us nline.
The next mrning, my screen was filled with the image f Gigi's husband, as he helped her sign n. Gigi lked t be abut my age. I put her n the spt, asking her t teach a lessn supprting the students' emtinal needs. T my surprise, the students became cheerful and lively as Gigi led them in a discussin n ways t stay cnnected. “Remember-even when we're apart physically frm friends and family, we needn't feel alne," she said in a breathy, sweet yet deliberate(从容的) vice, like a grade schlteacher. And all the students respnded. That was ttally different frm my teaching style.
Her kind wrds weren't reserved nly fr students. “What a wnderful lessn," she said befre we signed ff. “I really like the way yu express yurself, Lri," she tld me.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右；
