| Why should mankind explore space? Why should money, time and effort be spent exploring and researching something with so few apparent benefits? Why should resources be spent on space rather than on conditions and people on Earth? These are questions that, understandably, are very often asked. Perhaps the best answer lies in our genetic makeup (基因构成) as human beings.What drove our ancestors to move from the trees into the plains, and on into all possible areas and environments? The wider the spread of a species, the better its chance of survival.Perhaps the best reason for exploring space is this genetic tendency to expand wherever possible. Nearly every successful civilization has explored, because by doing so, any dangers in surrounding areas can be identified and prepared for.Without knowledge, we may be completely destroyed by the danger.With knowledge, we can lessen its effects. Exploration also allows minerals and other potential (潜在的) resources to be found.Even if we have no immediate need of them, they will perhaps be useful later.Resources may be more than physical possessions.Knowledge or techniques have been acquired through exploration.The techniques may have medical applications which can improve the length or quality of our lives.We have already benefited from other spinoffs including improvements in earthquake prediction, in satellites for weather forecasting and in communications systems.Even nonstick pans and mirrored sunglasses are byproducts (副产品) of technological developments in the space industry! While many resources are spent on what seems a small return, the exploratio  n of space allowscreative, brave and intelligent members of our species to focus on what may serve to save us.While space may hold many wonders and explanations of how the universe was formed or how it works, it also holds dangers.The danger exists, but knowledge can help human beings to survive.Without the ability to reach out across space, the chance to save ourselves might not exist. While Earth is  the only planet known to support life, surely the adaptive ability of humans would allowus to live on other planets.It is true that the lifestyle would be different, but human life and cultures have adapted in the past and surely could in the future. 1. Why does the author mention the questions  in Paragraph 1?A. To express his doubts. B. To compare different ideas. C. To introduce points for discussion. D. To describe the conditions on Earth. 2. What is the reason for exploring space based  on Paragraph 2?A. Humans are natureborn to do so. B. Humans have the tendency to fight. C. Humans may find new sources of food. D. Humans don't like to stay in the same place. 3. The underlined word "spinoffs" in Paragraph 4 probably refers to________. A. survival chances B. potential resources C. unexpected benefits D. physical possessions 4. What makes it possible for humans to live on other planets? A. Our genetic makeup. B. Resources on the earth. C. The adaptive ability of humans. D. Byproducts in space exploration. |

| There were smiling children all the way.Clearly they knew at what time the train passed their homes and they made it their business to stand along the railway, wave to complete strangers and cheer them up as they rushed towards Penang.Often whole families stood outside their homes and waved and smiled as if those on the trains were their favorite relatives.This is the simple village people of Malaysia.I was moved. I had always travele  d to Malaysia by plane or car,so this was the first time I was on a train.I did not particularly relish the long train journey and had brought along a dozen magazines to read and reread.I looked about the train.There was not one familiar face.I sighed and sat down to read my Economics. It was not long before the train was across the Causeway and in Malaysia.Johore Baru was just another city like Singapore,so I was tired of looking at the crowds of people as they hurried past.As we went beyond the city, I watched the straight row  s of rubber trees and miles and miles of green.Then the first village came into sight.Immediately I came alive；I decided to wave back. From then on my journey became interesting.I threw my magazines into the waste basket and decided to join in Malaysian life.Then everything came alive.The mountains seemed to speak to me.Even the trees were smiling.I stared at everything as if I was looking at it for the first time. The day passed fast and I even forgot to have my lunch until I felt hungry.I looked at my watch and was surprised that it was 3:00 pm.Soon the train pulled up at Butterworth.I looked at the people all around me.They all looked beautiful.When my uncle arrived with a smile, I threw my arms around him to give him a warm hug.I had never done this before.He seemed surprised and then his weatherbeaten face warmed up with a huge smile.We walked arm in arm to his car. I looked forward to the return journey. 1. The author expected the train trip to be________. A. adventurous B. pleasant C. exciting D. dull 2.
