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 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 space, the chance to save ourselves might not exist.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 being 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.9. 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.10. What is the reason for exploring space based on Paragraph 2?A. Humans are nature-born to do so.B. Humans have the tendency to fight.C. Humans may find new sources of food.D. Humans dont like to stay in the same place.11. The underlined word “spin-offs” in Paragraph 4 probably refers to_.A. survival chancesB. potential resourcesC. unexpected benefitsD. physical possessions12. 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. By-products in space exploration.DIn every school there is a top crowd that sets the pace (领先), while the others follow their lead. Lets say the top crowd decides that it is smart to wear bright red sweaters. Pretty soon everybody is wearing a bright red sweater.There is nothing wrong with that, except the fact that on some people bright red sweater is extremely unbecoming (不得体的). This situation can even become dangerous, if the top crowd decides that it is smart to drink or to drive cars at seventy miles an hour. Then the people who follow the lead are endangering their lives. They are like the sheep being led to the butcher(屠夫).Now, chances are that you have come across situations like these more than once in your life; chances are that one time or another you probably did something you knew to be wrong. You may have excused yourself by saying, Gee, the crowd does it. Well, let the crowd do it, but dont do it your- self. Learn to say, No.Develop your own standards and your own judgments. If you know the crowd is planning some- thing you disagreed to, have the courage to bow(鞠躬) out mannerly. Youll have the satisfaction of standing on your own two feet.13.Whichisthebesttitleforthispassage?A.FollowtheLead.B.TopCrowd.C.BeingYourself.D.BrightRed.14.Theauthordoesntthinkitgoodwearingredsweatersif_.A.thecrowddoesit B.youcantaffordthemC.youdontlookgoodinred D.thesituationisntsafe15.Accordingtothepassage,peoplewhofollowthecrowd_.A.sometimesdothingsagainsttheirbetterjudgmentB.makemistakesblindlyC.arewillingtoputtheirlivesindangerD.willintheendbecomepace-setters第二节（共5题；每小题2分，满分10分）Its not just women who wear skirts. _16_ In Scotland, men wear a kind of skirt called kilt.
