A bunch of your finest scientists have cracked the case and discovered there is life tens of millions of miles away-here, on our beautiful planet of Venus. Congratulations on the big discovery. However, we have a polite request: Stay away.Were serious. Were not interested. No missions to Venus, no exploratory spacecraft, no sleepovers. If we wake up one moaning and look out and see Bezos, Musk and Branson wandering around in spacesuits, were going to be really ticked off.,We mean no hostility. Its just that were not terribly impressed by what youve got going on down there. Earth looks like a mess. Youve got health crises(危机), environmental crises and political crises. No wonder so many of you want to abandon Earth for somewhere else.Leave us alone. Keep right where you are.We know youd like it here. Thats what scares us. Youd all move to Venus in an instant. Weve got beautiful weather, minimal traffic and a decent cost of living. But we live in a fragile solar system. We can only handle so much. If we start having you all up here, pretty soon, the Martians and Jupiterians are going to want to come, too.Meanwhile, cool your enthusiasm. Tell Elon, Jeff and Sir Richard to settle down and stick to cars, books and planes. Were not your escape plan. Venus is not Earth 2.We wish you the best in figuring it out. We have every faith you can save your planet. If not, try Pluto. Theyre pretty lonely and bored out there.Sincerely,Venus24. What is the big discovery about Venus in Paragraph I?A. There exists life.

The experiments involved adults of many ages with different levels of computer skills. Subjects were tested with simple computer problems, liketroubled sign-in operations. Others dealt with slow-speed connections to the Internet. Still others experienced system crashes."The moment people started using bad technology, we saw a doubling of their levels of stress," said Olivier Oullier, president of EMOTIV. The experiments showed that technology-related stress had a lasting effect.In addition to tech failures affecting the mental health of employees, the problems can also affect a companys business, the research found. For example, bad problems can reduce productivity, especially that of younger workers. "Bad experiences affect you regardless of computer literacy," said Cile Montgomery, who leads customer experience efforts for Dell. "But young people seem to be even more impacted, because they expect technology to work."In the real world, such effects were possibly more severe because the subjects knew they were involved in an experiment so they may not have been as personally affected by the results. Oullier also said the continuing coronavirus crisis has sharply increased stress levels. So real tech problems drive up those already high stress levels.Another issue is that many employees are working remotely and this can also add to tech difficulties. In an office, computer support helpers are usually available to help workers solve tech problems. But working from a kitchen or home office, employees are often on their own."When youre stuck at home and all you have is a computer provided by your employer, you might not have access to tech support," Oullier said. "Thats why its so important when youre remote, to have technology that works."28. How did the researchers conduct their experiments?A. By analyzing different computer problems.B. By collecting peoples technology experiences.C. By testing peoples ability to operate computers.D. By measuring brainwaves of people with computer troubles.29. What does the underlined word "literacy" in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. Skill. B. Failure. C. Literature. D. Crash.30. What can we learn from the research?A. Bad technology puts less stress on the young.B. Working from home may reduce peoples stress.C. Peoples stress rises due to bad computer experiences.D. Tech-related stress increases employees productivity.31. Where is this text most likely from?A. A science report. B. A news report. C. A guidebook. D. A brochure.DBy now, it is pretty well understood that we regularly pay for things in ways other than using money. Sometimes we pay still with cash. But we also pay for things with data, and more often, with our time and attention. We effectively hand over access to our minds in exchange for something "free", like email, streaming video or online shopping pages. As opposed to "paying" attention, we actually "spend attention", agreeing to the view ads in exchange for something we really want.The centrality of that deal in our lives makes it unacceptable that there are companies who seize our time and attention for absolutely nothing in exchange, and indeed, without permission at all-otherwise known as "attention theft".Attention theft happens anywhere you find your time and attention taken without permission, like the new, targeted advertising screens in hospital waiting rooms, the airlines that play full-volume advertising from a screen right in front of your face, or the advertising-screens in office elevators. These arc just few examples in what is a growing category. Combined, they threaten to make us live life in a screen-lined cocoon(茧), shrunken and incapable of independent thought.Then, what makes it "theft"? Advances in neuroscience over the last several decades make it clear that our brain' s resources are unconsciously triggered(触发)by sound and movement; therefore the screens seize rare mental resources. Meanwhile, in the law, theft is typically defined as the taking control of a resource "under such circumstances as to acquire the major part of its economic value or benefit." Given the established market value of time and attention, when taken without permission or compensation, it really is not much different from someone taking money out of your pocket. Thus, when the firms selling public-screen advertising to target audiences brag of rapid growth and billions in profit, those are actually earnings made场stealing from us.32. What phenomenon is described in Paragraph 1?A. Preference for cash. B. Consumption of attention.C. Payments in shopping. D. Addiction to mass media.33. How does the writer show the wide spread of "attention theft"?A. By making a definition. B. By analyzing causes.C. By giving examples. D. By predicting results.34. Why is "attention theft" considered as a theft?A. It brings a fortune to the thief. B. It lays heavy burden on the brain.C. It takes up mental resources secretly. D. It brings about economic loss constantly.35. What could be the best title for the text?A. The Crisis of Attention Theft B. The Price of Attention TheftC. Ads: Source or Theft of Information D. "Paying" Instead of "Spending" Attention第二节(共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Why youre more creative in coffee shopsSome of the most successful people in history have done their best work in coffee shops, Pablo Picasso, JK Rowling, Simone de Beauvoir and Bob Dylan, to name just a few. 36 , people across nations and centuries have tapped into their creativity working at a table in a cafe. 37 . The combination of noise, casual crowds and visual variety can give us just the right amount of distraction to help us be our sharpest and most creative.Some of us stick in our earphones as soon as we sit down to work in a public setting. 38 . So, the jazz muzak, light conversation and barkeeper banging coffee grounds out of the grinder arent an annoyance-they could help you come up with your next great work.Theres also the fact that in a coffee shop, were surrounded by people whove come to do the same thing as us, which acts as a motivator. You see other people working and it puts you in a mood where you just naturally start working as well. 39 .Visual variety is another factor that has an effect on peoples creative thinking process. And hitting different coffee shops each time keeps things even more varied. People come and go. The daylight changes. The aromas(香味)of coffee and food v
