But my good mood ended when the radio station took a news break between I found myself listening to another story of a rich famous man who had broken the As I pulled to a stop I noticed four leather jacketed bikers. They were standing in the middle of the road with two on either side of the lights. They looked rough and dangerous, but as I got closer I noticed each one was holding his helmet in his “We are the Brothers of the Wheel.” he said. “We are collecting for a Christmas toy drive for children in need this year.”As I pulled a dollar out of my wallet I looked past his beard and into his eyes. They shone with a goodness and kindness that came right from his soul. I dropped the money in his helmet and waved to the other bikers as I drove My faith in mankind had been bolstered(增強(qiáng) ； 激勵(lì) ).

D． Humans don’t like to stay in the same place. 答案 A [細(xì)節(jié)理解題。 ] D 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 conditions and people on Earth? These are questions that, understandably, are very often asked. Perhaps the best answer lies in our geic makeup(基因 構(gòu)成 ) as human beings. What drove our ancestors to move from the trees into the plains, and on 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 geic 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 pletely destroyed by the danger. With knowledge, we can lessen its effects. Exploration also allows minerals and other potential(潛在的 ) 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 munications systems. Even nonstick pans and mirrored sunglasses are by products (副產(chǎn)品 ) of technological developments in the space industry! 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 beings to survive. Without the ability to reach out across space, the chance to save ourselves might not exist. While Earth is the only pla known to support life, surely the adaptive ability of humans would allow us to live on other plas. 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. 68． Why does the author mention the questions in Paragraph 1?
