Answer 1

答案：1．C;2．C;3．D;4．B;
解析：

(1)	第一段的It has become the third nation in the world capable of putting men into space．说明B项正确；阅读文章可知在第三段提到some people的观点……which yields little economic benefit．，不是作者的观点；第二段符合A项叙述的内容；第四段最后一句However, mankind does need to make use of space resources for sustainable human development．说明D项正确。所以答案为C。
(2)	第四段第一句billions of US dollars spent on the decade-old space program may be better used for poverty relief and education as millions of Chinese still have a poor living and many children cannot afford basic schooling．包含了A、B、D三个选项的内容，some people并没有说太空计划回延误经济的发展，所以C符合提问要求。
(3)	第五节due to the shrinking reserve of natural resources on the Earth．和第六节Lunar reserve of isotope helium 3 is sufficient for human need for about 10,000 years, which is attractive to the mankind being troubled by high oil prices and limited oil reserve．是该题的依据。所以选D为正确答案。
(4)	倒数第二段和倒数第四段Weather forecast, telecommunication, disaster reduction, resource prospecting, power species of crops, maritime pollution, desertification control可知共7个方面。
