The guy who ate a ﹩120，000 banana in an art museum says he was just hungry.
Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan is well known for his inspiring works，but his signature work — a banana taped to a wall—was lately destroyed for a simple reason；the hunger it aroused in a college student.The work named "Comedian" （喜劇演員） has previously sold for ﹩120，000，most famously at Art Basel Miami in 2019.While a college student who recently viewed the art in a Seoul museum said he ate the banana after skipping breakfast.
The art in question，Comedian，which was a frequently replaced fresh banana，was taped on the wall.It is meant to indicate everything from Charlie Chaplin's comedy to the fruit's status as a symbol of global trade.
However，it spoke to Noh Huyn-soo，the college student，in simpler terms，reminding him that he had skipped breakfast that morning.So when he visited Seoul's Leeum Museum of Artlate at noon last week，Noh seized the yellow fruit and ate it，ignoring the alarmed cry of a museum worker.It took Noh around 1 minute to tear off the banana and eat it.Then，he reattached the peel to its spot on the wall
Noh told the museum that he ate the art because he was hungry，according to Korean public broadcaster KBS，which aired a video of his actions that was recorded by his friend.But Noh，who studies art and religion at Seoul National University，also expressed the artist's intent and suggested his own actions might qualify as art，as he transformed Cattelan's work and put it back on display.
The Noh drama lasted only around 30 minutes，as museum workers restored a second banana to the spot.And the museum won't charge Noh for any damages.Because when the artist was told about the ruined work，he replied that it wasn't a problem.

2．Nuclear bombs.That's the go-to answer for incoming space objects like asteroids（小行星） and comets，as far as Hollywood is concerned.Movies like Deep Impact and Armageddon rely on nuclear weapons，delivered by stars like Bruce Willis，to save the world and deliver the drama.
But planetary defense experts say in reality，if astronomers spotted a dangerous incoming space rock，the safest and best answer might be something more subtle，like simply pushing it off course by crashing it with a small spacecraft.
That's just what NASA did on Monday evening，when a spacecraft headed straight into an asteroid called Dimorphous，which is around 7 million miles away and poses no threat to Earth.It's about 525 feel across and orbits another larger asteroid.
In images streamed as the impact neared，the egg-shaped asteroid grew in size from a little spot on screen to have its full rocky surface come quickly into focus before the signal went dead as the craft hit right on target.
Events happened exactly as engineers had planned，they said，with nothing going wrong. "As far as we can tell，our first planetary defense test was a success，" said Elena Adams，the mission systems engineer，who added that scientists looked on with "both terror and joy" as the spacecraft neared its final destination.
The impact was the peak of NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test （DART） ，a 7-year and more than ﹩300 million effort which launched a space vehicle in November of 2021 to perform humanity's first ever test of planetary defense technology.It will be about two months，scientists said，before they will be able to determine if the impact was enough to drive the asteroid slightly off course，probably shortening its original orbit.
NASA plans to launch an asteroid-hunting space telescope named NEO Surveyor in 2026. "We've tacked lots of space rocks，especially the larger ones that could cause extinction-level events.Thankfully，none currently threaten Earth.But many asteroids the size of Dimorphous haven't yet been discovered，and those could potentially take out a city if they came crashing down." explains Lindley Johnson，NASA's Planetary Defense Officer.
（1）How did scientists know the craft hit the asteroid successfully？
A．The signal from the craft was lost as it hit the target.
B．They recorded the whole process with a telescope.
C．The little spot on the screen suddenly disappeared.
D．They monitored the craft with satellites in space.
（2）What is the purpose of launching the spacecraft？
A．To search for evidence of alien life.
B．To end the asteroid's threat to Earth.
C．To save the world and deliver a drama.
D．To test technology for defending Earth.
（3）What can be inferred about Dimorphous？
A．It is a dangerous incoming space rock.
B．It is an egg-shaped asteroid around Earth.
C．It may orbit the same asteroid after the hit.
D．It is expected to blow up after the impact.
（4）Which statement will Lindley Johnson probably agree with？
A．Asteroids are equally destructive whatever the size.
B．NEO Surveyor is aimed to track smaller asteroids.
C．Larger asteroids will no longer threaten Earth.
D．NASA is responsible for the safety of Earth.發(fā)布：2024/12/11 2:0:1組卷：8引用：4難度：0.5 -
