Countries around the globe① are spending billions of② dollars and lots of time on various space missions, whether to Mars or other planets much further away.[1]Some people argue③ that we should stop④ wasting time and money exploring space. Instead, we should feed the world's poor and find immediate solutions to other problems, such as pollution and fatal⑤ diseases.[2]However, others feel this is a shallow⑥ view which fails to⑦ realise how exploring space helps us. [1]句中that引导宾语从句。 [2]feel后是省略了that的宾语从句，其中which引导定语从句，how exploring space helps us为宾语从句。 Firstly, exploring space has already made a difference⑧ in the fight against world hunger.[3]It has directly resulted in⑨ the many satellites that now orbit Earth. A number of the satellites record data on land and weather patterns⑩.Then the data is transmitted to scientists on Earth.After careful analysis⑪， the scientists can provide useful recommendations and advice for farmers.As a result⑫， space­based science has helped farming in its efforts to grow enough food to feed Earth's increasing population. [3]句中 that引导定语从句。 Secondly, space exploration has already promoted technological improvements that benefit us all.[4]High­end⑬products around the world are made to a higher standard now because of advanced technology which was first created to meet the requirements for space exploration. For example, space technologies have helped the research and development of different types of⑭ new material.They have also helped companies make better heart monitors⑮ and other machines that doctors regularly⑯ use.Today, space technologies are widely used in all kinds of industries, and everyday products such as memory foam⑰ pillows⑱ and smartphone⑲ cameras are changing our lives. [4]句中which引导定语从句，不定式短语to meet the requirements for space exploration作目的状语。 Finally, sending astronauts into space has helped people to think about the world's problems and even to find ways to⑳ solve them.[5]Seeing pictures of our planet as an island in a black sea made people realise that our planet's resources㉑ are limited㉒.In order to provide for㉓ such a rapidly increasing population, scientists are trying to find other planets that could one day be our new home.[6]The greatest attention at present is on Mars because it is closer to㉔ Earth. In the future, humans may live on both planets. [5]句中that引导宾语从句。 [6]句中because引导原因状语从句。 In closing㉕， exploring space provides the world with many different benefits.Therefore, it should continue so as to㉖ provide new and better solutions to people's short­term and long­term problems. ◎ 探索太空是否浪费时间和金钱？ 无论是去火星还是其他更遥远的星球，世界各国都在花费数十亿美元和大量时间在各种太空使命上。有人认为我们应该停止浪费时间和金钱来探索太空。相反，我们应该为世界上的穷人提供食物，并立即解决其他问题，例如污染和致命疾病。然而，其他人则认为这是一个肤浅的观点，它没有意识到探索太空对我们的帮助。 首先，探索太空在对抗世界饥饿的斗争中发挥了作用。现在绕地球飞行的许多卫星都是直接基于这一原因被送上了太空。许多卫星记录着陆地和天气模式的数据。然后，这些数据被传送给地球上的科学家。经过仔细分析，科学家们可以为农民提供有用的建议。因此，太空技术帮助农业努力种植足够的食物来养活地球上不断增长的人口。 其次，太空探索促进了造福于我们所有人的技术进步。由于先进的技术首次被提出以满足太空探索的需求，现在世界各地的高端产品都达到了更高的标准。例如，空间技术有助于研究和开发不同类型的新材料。它们还帮助公司制造了更好的心脏监测器和医生经常使用的其他仪器。如今，太空技术已广泛应用于各个行业，并且诸如记忆泡沫枕头和智能相机之类的日常用品正在改变我们的生活。 最后，将宇航员送入太空帮助人们思考世界上的问题，甚至找到解决问题的方法。看到我们的星球就像在一片黑海中的岛屿的照片让人们意识到我们星球的资源是有限的。为了满足如此迅速增长的人口，科学家们正在努力寻找其他行星，这些星球将来可能成为我们的新家。目前最受关注的是火星，因为它离地球更近。在未来，人类可能生活在地球和火星两个星球上。 最后，探索太空为世界带来许多不同的好处。因此，它应该继续下去，以便为人们的短期和长期问题提供新的和更好的解决方案。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
