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 exploration of space allows creative, 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 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 future.1why does the author mention the questions in paragraph 1?ato express his doubts.bto compare different ideas.cto introduce points for discussion.dto describe the conditions on earth.2what is the reason for exploring space based on paragraph 2?ahumans are natureborn to do so.bhumans have the tendency to fight.chumans may find new sources of food.dhumans dont like to stay in the same place.3the underlined word “spinoffs” in paragraph 4 probably refers to _.asurvival chances bpotential resourcescunexpected benefits dphysical possessions4what makes it possible for humans to live on other planets?aour genetic makeup. bresources on the earth.cthe adaptive ability of humans.dbyproducts in space exploration.短文改错a little wave is jumping along in the ocean，having great time.he is enjoying the wind but the fresh air until he notices the other waves in front of him，crashing against on the shore.“my god，this is terribly，”the wave says.“look how is going to happen to me！”then along came another wave.it sees the first wave looked depressed，and it asks him，“why do you look so sad？”the first wave says，“you dont understand！they are all going to crash！all of us waves are going to be everything！isnt this terrible？”the second wave says，“no，you dont understand.we are not wave.we are part of the ocean.”选修8module 5课后达标检测47.单项填空1解析：选d。考查冠词。句意：在2013年他创业之初遇到了一系列意想不到的困难。a series of意为“一系列的，一连串的”；at the very beginning of 意为“在一开始的时候”。2解析：选b。句意：一听到他死亡的令人震惊的消息时，她大声哭了出来。shocking令人震惊的，shocked感到震惊的，burst out cryingburst into tears突然哭起来。因此选b。3解析：选a。句意：在戴维的包里发现了丢失的苹果手机，因此他被指控盗窃。accuse sb.of sth.指责/指控某人做某事；scold和blame要和介词for搭配；charge sb.with sth.指控某人做某事。故选a项。4解析：选b。句意：戴维从交通事故的分析中得出结论：这是由于人为因素造成的。acknowledge“承认、告知、认为”；conclude“从中得出结论”；announce“宣告”；consider“考虑、认为”。根据句意可知选b。5解析：选c。make it是固定短语，意为“做到，成功；成功到达”。6解析：选c。句意：我会尽快调查这件事的，请耐心等待。patience “耐心”；wait “等待”；time “时间”；rest “休息”。7解析：选d。句意：尽管听起来难以置信，但是一个17岁的男孩在2013年竟然出版了三部小说。根据句意可知as引导的是让步状语从句。as在引导让步状语从句时，其后的表语名词或形容词或作状语的副词以及动词原形提到句首进行倒装，故选d项。8解析：选a。句意：最近的一项调查研究表明，尽管社会发生了巨大的变化，但像家庭和谐这样的传统的价值观在中国人的心中仍然有重要的地位。in spite of尽管，虽然；in charge of主管，负责；as a consequence of由于；in return for作为对的报答。根据句意可知选a 项。9解析：选d。句意：你已经适应这里的学校生活了吗？是的，但是我不喜欢大冷天早晨做早操。be / get used to /accustomed to sth.是固定短语，表示“习惯于”；第二空like后不可以直接接宾语从句，故用it作形式宾语，真正的宾语是when引导的从句。10解析：选a。考查 consult 的用法。 consult sb.“向某人请教”。 consult with sb.on/ about sth. “与某人商量某事”。11解析：选c。句意：我认为你无法完成！那要看情况而定！that/it all depends视情况而定，为固定表达法。12解析：选c。考查动词词义辨析。 witness 此处意为“见证；经历”，其主语可以是地点、事件或年代。 watch “观看，观察”； contribute “贡献，促成”； make “制作，使发生”，均不符合句意。13解析：选b。句意：既然对这个计划没有反对意见，现在让我们开始执行吧。set about doing sth.开始做某事；set out to do sth.开始做某事；set down 记下，写下；set up建立，建造。根据句意可知选b项。14解析：选b。考查词义辨析。句意：使我们松一口气的是，我弟弟的病并没有像我们所担心的那样严重。 anxiety “焦虑”； relief “轻松，宽慰”； view “观点”； judgment “判断”。15解析：选a。考查交际用语。its food for thought意为“它是发人深思的”；it all depends意为“视情况而定”；i have got that意为“我知道了”；its a waste of time意为“这是在浪费时间”。句意：那篇文章那么重要吗？读一下你就会发现它是发人深思的。.阅读理解解题导语 本文是一篇议论文，向我们阐述了人类进行太空探索的原因。人类的基因构成决定了人类探索其他领域包括太空的能力。人类探索太空可能暂时没有多大用处，但是在将来这可能会帮助人类生存
