A
Should humans explore space? If you ask me, I'll definitely give a positive answer.
The exploration of space has a direct impact on the lives of humans, as well as the state of our world.Satellites moving around the earth enable communication across the world, connecting people of different continents and broadcasting information worldwide.The navigation system can identify our location anywhere.Furthermore, weather satellites can predict harmful weather conditions which allows humans to prepare for deadly natural disasters and save lives.
Space programs can also indirectly contribute to the solution to poverty and world hunger.For example, large pieces of land could be used far better if humans applied technologies.The most effective tool is the artificial earth satellite.It can screen areas of land within a very short time, indicating useful measures such as the condition of crops, soil rainfall, and droughts.It can then send this information to ground stations on the earth for better use.
Furthermore, access to better education means better life prospects and opportunities for human beings.Rural (乡村的) communities have disadvantaged access to education and satellite communication technologies are trying to bridge this gap.With the development of technology, students can now access any information and connect with peers and teachers in different parts of the world through video conferences and the creation of virtual classrooms.
Space exploration is something we can do for future generations.Mankind is using the resources provided on the planet, but these will run out one day.Overpopulation can be a threat for all mankind.With the development of space technology, it will be wise to use and explore the vast potential of other planets, such as the availability of mining resources on asteroids (小行星) or other planets.
For the exploration of the universe, perhaps the most advantageous of all is that it will unite us to work together for a common purpose, regardless of our differences.

B
(2025·扬州一模)You look up at the sky on a clear and dark night, and you'll see more stars than your eyes can count.Most of these stars have planets, similar to our own, orbiting them.With so many celestial bodies floating out in space, you can't help but question whether other forms of life exist in the universe.And if that's the case, is it possible to contact them?
Science is still somewhat divided on this issue.Currently, no evidence exists to suggest that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe.Yet with an estimated one trillion planets in our galaxy alone, it seems highly likely that Earthlings aren't the only intelligent creatures out there.Some claim that life can only develop under perfect circumstances, and Earth is perhaps the only example of this.Other scientists object to this claim, and point out that even on Earth, life can find a way under the most extreme circumstances.
Some people believe that aliens have already visited our planet, but this information is being kept secret by governments.The most famous incident of this kind occurred in Roswell, New Mexico in 1947.On that date, many residents reported seeing an unusual flying disc streak through the sky, before it crashed in a field.When the military heard about the crash, they quickly sealed off the area.A few hours later, the army base announced that it had recovered a flying disc.Shortly after, this statement was retracted and it was said that it was a weather balloon that crashed.However, years later one local mortician even claimed that the military had him secretly perform an autopsy on a dead alien body.
Others believe that there certainly are other life forms out there, but the distance between us is too great.Even if we could somehow create a spaceship that travels at the speed of light, it would still probably take several lifetimes to reach them.Then again, we might never have to do this if aliens reach us first.
语篇解读:本文是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了太空中是否还存在其他形式的生命,以及不同的人对此的不同看法。
5.Why do some scientists think there is life on other planets?
A.An unusual flying disc was ever witnessed.
B.Life exists despite extreme conditions as those on the Earth do.
C.The government's statement seemed suspicious.
D.There are a great number of planets in the universe.
解析:选D 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Yet with an estimated one trillion planets ...the only intelligent creatures out there.”可知,有些科学家认为其他星球上有生命是因为宇宙中有大量的行星。
6.What does the underlined word “retracted” in paragraph 3 mean?
A.Examined again to guarantee the correctness.
B.Emphasized again to persuade people.
C.Formally taken back what has been said.
D.Seriously criticized due to poor evidence.
解析:选C 词义猜测题。根据画线词上文“A few hours later ...a flying disc.”以及后文“it was said that it was a weather balloon that crashed”可知,该军事基地宣布他们找到了一个飞碟。不久之后,这一声明被撤回,据说是一个气象气球坠毁。故画线词意为“正式收回说过的话”。
7.Which of the following might be the best title for the text?
A.Are We Alone in the Universe?
B.Is It Possible to Contact Aliens?
C.Intelligent Life in the Universe
D.Planets Floating out in Space
解析:选A 标题归纳题。根据第一段中“With so many celestial bodies ...is it possible to contact them?”并结合文章主要论述了太空中是否还存在其他形式的生命,以及不同的人对此的不同看法可知,A选项最适合作文章标题。
8.How does the author sound in the text?
A.Objective. B.Humorous.
C.Cautious. D.Anxious.
解析:选A 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Science is still somewhat divided on this issue.”;第三段中“Some people believe ...by governments.”以及最后一段中“Others believe ...between us is too great.”可推知,文中没有提到作者的观点,即作者是客观的语气。
