13、一天会枯竭，寻求首先，人类居住的地球的能源总归有一天会枯竭，寻求新能源，是人类面临的一重大科研课题。月球作为地球最新能源，是人类面临的一重大科研课题。月球作为地球最忠实的卫星，是人类未来赖以生存的能源仓库，它上面的忠实的卫星，是人类未来赖以生存的能源仓库，它上面的玄武岩里钛铁矿的体积占，钛大概有万亿吨玄武岩里钛铁矿的体积占，钛大概有万亿吨以上，将来人类能直接用这种玄武岩生产水、液氧燃料等以上，将来人类能直接用这种玄武岩生产水、液氧燃料等资源。月球上还有丰富的矿产资源，象地球上稀缺的铀、资源。月球上还有丰富的矿产资源，象地球上稀缺的铀、稀土等稀土等 ，特别是月球土壤中特有的氦，特别是月球土壤中特

14、有的氦作为核聚变的作为核聚变的原材料，将改变人类社会的能源结构，将成为人类未来取原材料，将改变人类社会的能源结构，将成为人类未来取之不竭的能源宝库，月球表面土壤中蕴藏着几百万吨的氦之不竭的能源宝库，月球表面土壤中蕴藏着几百万吨的氦3，1吨的氦吨的氦3所产生的电量足以供全人类使用所产生的电量足以供全人类使用1年年月球潜在的矿产资源和能源的开发利用前景，是主月球潜在的矿产资源和能源的开发利用前景，是主要航天国家组织探月登月的最主要的动力。要航天国家组织探月登月的最主要的动力。 .第二、月球表面具有高真空、无磁场、地质构第二、月球表面具有高真空、无磁场、地质构造稳定、弱重力和高洁净的环境，可以进行生

15、造稳定、弱重力和高洁净的环境，可以进行生物制品和新材料的开发研究；月球背面不受地物制品和新材料的开发研究；月球背面不受地球无线电波干扰，可以建立月球天文观测基地、球无线电波干扰，可以建立月球天文观测基地、实验室，把月球建成人类探求宇宙星空的前沿实验室，把月球建成人类探求宇宙星空的前沿哨所。总之，月球是人类研究月球科学、天体哨所。总之，月球是人类研究月球科学、天体化学、空间物理、生命科学、对地观测科学与化学、空间物理、生命科学、对地观测科学与材料科学的理想场所材料科学的理想场所.第三，人类探月登月引发的一系列技术革命和进第三，人类探月登月引发的一系列技术革命和进步，成为社会、经济发展的新技术支撑

16、，带动和步，成为社会、经济发展的新技术支撑，带动和促进了一系列基础科学、科学技术的创新和发展，促进了一系列基础科学、科学技术的创新和发展，形成了一大批高科技工业群体，产生了显著的社形成了一大批高科技工业群体，产生了显著的社会经济效益。当年美国会经济效益。当年美国“阿波罗阿波罗”登月工程耗资登月工程耗资是巨大的，达亿美元，但它在无线电制导、是巨大的，达亿美元，但它在无线电制导、合成材料、高性能计算机等高科技方面创造出合成材料、高性能计算机等高科技方面创造出多项新技术，从经济效益方面评估，多项新技术，从经济效益方面评估，“阿阿波罗波罗”登月工程每投入美元就能产出了到登月工程每投入美元就能产出了到美

17、元的效益，这说明人类探月登月的经济效益是美元的效益，这说明人类探月登月的经济效益是巨大的，无法估量的。巨大的，无法估量的。.Read the text and fill in the blanks with the right words. Neil Armstrong is the first man to walk on the moon.
