Instead, they have made scientists more determined to develop better technology to keep astronauts safe. Nowadays, space exploration continues to make new progress. Countries around the world are working together to explore space and share scientific findings. China has also made great achievements in space exploration in recent years, such as launching the Shenzhou series of spacecraft and building the Tiangong Space Station. With the development of science and technology, we believe that humans will make more amazing discoveries in space in the future. 1. What is the main goal of current space exploration? A.

From a distant dream to remarkable achievements, it has pushed the boundaries of human knowledge step by step. The journey of space exploration started with great breakthroughs. In 1957, the USSR launched Sputnik 1, the first satellite to orbit Earth. In 1961, Yuri Gagarin became the first man in space. Later, Neil Armstrong stepped onto the moon in 1969, marking a giant leap for mankind. Since then, Voyager 1 and the International Space Station have made more achievements in deep space exploration. Space exploration is of great significance. It helps humans make important scientific discoveries, promotes the development of advanced technology, and shows the human spirit of daring to explore. Despite difficulties and tragedies, it never stops advancing. With international cooperation and technological progress, space exploration will bring more surprises to mankind in the future. 2025年人教版英语必修三课文改编题（适配全国卷高考题型） Unit 4-2 IS EXPLORING SPACE A WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY? Countries around the globe are spending billions of dollars and lots of time on various space missions, whether to Mars or other planets much further away. Some people argue that we should stop 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 fatal diseases. However, others feel this is a shallow view which fails to realise how exploring space helps us. Firstly, exploring space has already made a difference in the fight against world hunger. It has directly resulted in the many satellites that now orbit Earth. A number of the satellites record data on land and weather patterns. Then the data is transmitted to scientists on Earth. After careful analysis, the scientists can provide useful recommendations and advice for farmers. As a result, space-based science has helped farming in its efforts to grow enough food to feed Earth's increasing population. Secondly, space exploration has already promoted technological improvements that benefit us all. High-end products 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 of new material. They have also helped companies make better heart monitors and other machines that doctors regularly use.Today, space technologies are widely used in all kinds of industries, and everyday products, such as memory foam pillows and smartphone cameras, are changing our lives. Finally, sending astronauts into space has helped people to think about the world's problems and even to find ways to solve them. Seeing pictures of our planet as an island in a black sea made people realise that our planet's resources are limited. In order to provide for such a rapidly increasing population, scientists are trying to find other planets that could one day be our new home. The greatest attention at present is on Mars because it is closer to Earth. In the future, humans may live on both planets. In closing, exploring space provides the world with many different benefits. Therefore, it should continue so as to provide new and better solutions to people's short-term and long-term problems. 课文改编题 一、阅读理解 Countries around the globe are spending billions of dollars and lots of time on various space missions, whether to Mars or other planets much further away.

Firstly, it helps fight world hunger. Satellites launched through space exploration record land and weather data, which scientists analyze to give advice to farmers. This helps improve crop yields and feed the growing population. Secondly, it promotes technological progress. Many advanced technologies first developed for space are now widely used in daily life, such as memory foam pillows and smartphone cameras, making our lives better. Finally, it makes people care more about Earth. Pictures of Earth from space let us realize resources are limited, pushing us to protect our home and explore new planets like Mars. Space exploration is not a waste but a valuable investment. It solves current challenges and prepares for our future. We should continue to explore space to create a better world for mankind. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
