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 askedPerhaps the best answer lies in our genetic makeup基因构成 as human beingsWhat 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 effectsExploration also allows minerals and other potential潜在的 resources to be foundEven 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 explorationThe techniques may have medical applications which can improve the length or quality of our livesWe have already benefited from other spin-offs including improvements in earthquake prediction, in satellites for weather forecasting and in communications systems Even non-stick pans and mirrored sunglasses are by-products 副产品 of technological developments in the spaceWhile many resources are spent on what seems a small return, the exploration of' space usWhile 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 being to survive Without the ability to reach out across space, the chance to save ourselves might not existWhile Earth is the only planet known to support life, surely the adaptive ability of humans would allow us 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 future31 Why does the author mention the questions in Paragraphl ?ATo express his doubtsBTo introduce points for discussionCTo compare different ideasDTo describe the conditions on Earth【答案】B【解析】推理判断题。文章是典型的议论说明文，是提出问题，分析问题的套路。第一段通过提出一系列关于太空探索利弊的问题引发讨论。并不是真的有这些疑心，也没有鲜明的正反观点，所以AC不对。D偏差较远。应选B。32 What is the reason for exploring space based on Paragraph2 ?AHumans are nature-born to do soBHumans have the tendency to fightCHumans may find new sources of foodDHumans don't like to stay in the same place【答案】A【解析】主旨大意题。答案选A。第二段是典型的总分总结构，主旨句在段首段尾。Perhaps the best answer lies in our genetic makeup as human beings 主要原因在于人类基因。Perhaps the best reason for exploring space is this genetic tendency to expand wherever possible 而B选项错在fight这个词。CD没提及。应选A。33 The underlined word "spin-offs" in Paragraph 4 probably refers to Asurvival chances B potential resourcesCunexpected benefits D physical possessions【答案】C【解析】词义猜想题。选C。根据spin off 前面的we have already benefited from other spin off 关键词 benefit，受益。而spin off后面的including 说的全是获得的利益，如improvements in earthquake prediction 地震预测的进步等等，而不是什么生存时机，或者潜在资源。所以选C。34 What makes it possible for humans to live on other planets'?AOur genetic makeup B The adaptive ability of' hunansCResources on the earth D By-products in space exploration【答案】B【解析】细节理解题。按照问题顺序一致原那么，答案应当出现在最后两段。在最后一段的首句我们找到了一个极端词用以定位。While earth is the only planet known to support life， surely the adaptive ability of humans would allow us to live on other planets直接由翻译可知，人类的适应能力使我们在其他星球的居住成为可能。应选B。35 Which of the following statements can best sum up the passage'?ASpace exploration has created many wondersBSpace exploration provided the best value for moneyCSpace exploration can benefit science and technologyDSpace exploration may help us avoid potential problems on Earth【答案】D【解析】推理判断题。选D。除去前两段引入，第三段主旨句首句的意思是每个文明都会探索周围文明以减低危险，第四段主旨句首句说的是探索使得我们能够发现潜在能源。第五段主旨句首句说的是探索使得很多人发现解决问题的有用资源。总的来说，就可归结为，太空探索可以帮助我们很多，防止很多问题。CSan Francisco has its cable cars Seattle has its Space Needle And, Longview has its squirrel bridge The bridge, which has attracted international attention, is now a local landmarkThe Nutty Narrows Bridge was built in 1963 by a local builder, Amos Peters, to give squirrels a way to cross the busy road without getting flattened by passing carsThe original bridge was built over Olympia Way on the west edge of' the library groundsBefore the bridge was built, squirrels had to avoid traffic to and from the Park Plaza office building where office staff' put out a nutty feast for the squirrels Many times, Peters and others who worked in and near

businessmen cooked up the squirrel bridge idea and formed a committee to ask the blessing of' the City Council市政会The Council approved, and Councilwoman Bess LaRiviere named the bridge "Nutty Narrows" After architects designed the bridge, Amos Peters and Bill Hutch started construction They built the 60-foot bridge from aluminum 铝 and lengths of fire hose 消防水带 It cost $1,000It didn't take long before reports of' squirrels using the bridge started Squirrels were even seen guiding their young and teaching them the ropes The story was picked up by the media, and Nutty Narrows became known in newspapers all over the worldIn 1983, after 20 years of' use, Peters took down the worn-out bridge Repairs were made and crosspieces were replaced The faded sign was repainted and in July 1983, hundreds of' animal lovers attended the completion ceremony of 'the new bridgePeters died in 1984, and a ten-foot wooden squirrel sculpture was placed near the bridge in memory of its builder and his devotion to the project36 The Nutty Narrows Bridge was built in order to
