Wang Yaping, the only woman aboard the station, served as the main instructor,while Ye Guangfu assisted and commander-in-chiefZhaiZhigang worked the camera.The three arrived at the station in October, 2021 for about a six-month stay, mainly aimed to preparethe main Tianhe module(舱) for the arrival of two additional modules named Mengtian and Wentian aheadof completion by the end of 2022. The crew is assessing living conditions in the Tianhe module andconducting experiments in space medicine and other areas.Wang became the first Chinese woman to conduct a spacewalk when she and Zhai spent six hoursoutside the module fixing equipment and carrying out tests alongside the stations robotic service arm.The mission of Shenzhou-13 is Chinas longest one since it first put a human in space in 2003,becoming only the third county to do so after Russia and the US. China has also pushed ahead withunmanned missions, and is lunar exploration program generated media buzz when its Yutu 2 rover sent back pictures of what was described by some as a “mystery hut”, but most likely only was a rock of somesort. The rover is the first to be placed on the little-explored far side of the moon, while Chinas Change 5 probe returned lunar rocks to Earth for the first time since the 1970s.

However, this research was limited, and was only used to study a very specific and representativeworking environment at the time-factories. Workforce tasks were repetitive, predictable and boring.But what about the complex(复杂的) and creative jobs? What about studying complex academicprograms?It seems that when the work at hand forces us to really focus on what we are doing, the presence of themusic is a burden that we must avoid. For example, the research published in Psychological Reports foundthat when some volunteers had to choose a piece of music and listen to it while studying or doinghomework, they performed worse than those who did not choose and simply accomplished the task withoutlistening to music.In other words, even though music is used for studying, it may just be because you like the music, not because it improves memorization and learning outcomes.Why is it not good to listen to music while studying? The answer lies in two concepts: multitasking(多任务化) and attentional concentration. Multitasking is the ability to perform more than one task at the sametime and is closely related to working memory. This type of memory is responsible for keeping in mind theelements with which we work in real time.Attentional concentration is how the brain directs mental processes toward solving some problems andnot others. When we focus on something, we are using a large part of our nervous system to fix it. For this,you have to pay the price for neglecting other functions.28. What was the disadvantage of the research in 1972?A. A short length of time.B. A shortage of researchers.C. A single working environment.D. A small number of participants.29. What did the research published in Psychological Reports prove about listening to music?A. It didnt make any difference.B. It improved participants efficiency.C. It helped participants to concentrate.D. It affected participants performance.30. Whats the purpose of the last two paragraphs?A. To make comments.B. To explain reasons.C. To draw conclusions.D. To make suggestions.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。Do you know the big rock experiment? You get a bucket(水桶) and fill it half full of small stones.
