Why should mankind explore space? 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 people on the 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 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.
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 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.
56. 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.
57. 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 don’t like to stay in the same place.
58. The underlined word “spin-offs” in Paragraph 4 probably refers to______.
A. survival chances B. unexpected benefits
C. potential resources D. physical possessions
59. What makes it possible for humans to live on other planets?
A. The adaptive ability of humans. B. Resources on the earth.
C. Our genetic makeup. D. By-products in space exploration.
60. Which of the statements can best sum up the passage?
A. Space exploration has created many wonders.
B. Space exploration provided the best value for money.
C. Space exploration can benefit science and technology.
D. Space exploration may help us avoid potential problems on Earth.
| Eye contact is a nonverbal (非言语表达的)technique that helps the speaker “sell” his or her ideas to an audience. Besides its persuasive powers, eye contact helps hold listener interest. A successful speaker must maintain eye contact with an audience. To have good rapport(关系) with listener, a speaker should maintain direct eye contact for at least 75 percent of the time. Some speakers focus exclusively （唯一的）on their notes. Others gaze over the heads of their listeners. Both are likely to lose audience interest and esteem. People who maintain eye contact while speaking, whether from a podium(演讲台) or from across the table, are “regarded not only as exceptionally well-disposed by their target but also as more believable and earnest.” To show the potency (力量，效应)of eye contact in daily life, we have only to consider how passers-by behave when their glances happen to meet on the street. At one extreme are those people who feel obliged to smile when they make eye contact. At the other extreme are those who feel awkward and immediately look away. To make eye contact, it seems, is to make a certain link with someone. Eye contact with an audience also lets a speaker know and monitor the listeners. It is, in fact, essential for analyzing an audience during a speech. Visual clues(暗示) from audience members can indicate that a speech is dragging, that the speaker is dwelling on (to think, speak, or write a lot about) a particular point for too long, or that a particular point requires further explanation. As we have pointed out, visual feedback from listeners should play an important role in shaping a speech as it is delivered. 1. This passage is mainly concerned with ______. A. the importance of eye contact B. the potency of nonverbal techniques C. successful speech delivery D. an effective way to gain visual feedback 2. According to the passage, a good speaker must ______. A. “sell” his or her ideas to an audience B. maintain direct eye contact with listeners C. be very persuasive and believable D. be exceptionally well-disposed 3. The word “target” in the last sentence of the first paragraph can best be replaced by ______. A. “destination” B. “goal” C. “audience” D. “followers” 4. In daily life, when the glances of two passers-by happen to meet, these two persons will inevitably(不可避免地) ______. A. smile to each other B. feel awkward and look away immediately C. try to make a conversation with each other D. none of the above
