21、 Some people believe that the space exploration is difficult and dangerous, and costs a huge amount of money. The think that it does nothing to improve the quality of our lives. However, reaching outward into space has helped us in many ways.
It is in our nature to explore. From the very early days of human life, our curiosity for the unknown has kept us adventuring into new places. We wish to visit thick and wild forests, climb mountains, and cross deep oceans. We are excited about the amazing discoveries and endless possibilities. With each space mission coming greater insight, we are motivated to continue along the same path of adventure.
The results of the space investigations have made major contributions to an understanding of the origin, evolution, and likely future of the universe, such as planets, stars, and all other forms of matter and energy. Exploring space helps to answer questions about our place in the universe and the history of our solar system. It is through our research into space that we have known that the Earth is round and that it travels around the sun. As we learn more about the universe, we may one day answer the question whether there is life on other planets
With technologies first discovered and researched in space exploration, we can solve some of the big problems facing mankind, making our lives safer and easier. One of these is earthquake-shock absorbers. Shock absorbers originally applied to the spaceship take-off have also been set up in some cities in order to buildings and save lives. Many scientific and technological advances can provide benefits to societies in areas including health, energy and information technology. This should be the main reason for people to explore space.
Moreover, although we invest a large sum of money in space exploration, the space industry actually can bring great economic value. In a 2018 report by the space Foundation, the 2017 global space economy was valued at $383.5 billion. At the same time, space exploration can attract young people to careers in science and technology. There are many supporting roles on the ground, such as engineers, mechanics and research assistants.
And the amazing work these people do can provide education and inspiration for the next generation. Such wonders as a spaceship launch or astronauts walking on the difficult and dangerous, are exciting and inspiring to see, and it can be these moments than shape children's lives forever and motivate them to become the scientists and engineers of the future. When you have seen a man walk on the Moon, you grow up believing that anything possible through.
【1】The most important reason for people explore space is that it ________.

22、Small-Group Tour of Angkor Wat from Siem Reap
Watching the sunrise over Angkor Wat and the amazing temples is a truly unforgettable experience that makes for spectacular photos. It is a must visit when you go to Cambodia. On this tour, arrive early to beat the crowds and midday heat, enjoy a guided tour of the ancient ruins, and visit the temples of Ta Prohm, Angkor Thom, and Bayon Temple.

23、Pieces of houses and big trees are tossed around like toys during extreme weather, but palm trees seem able to stand their ground. Given their location they are obviously well suited to stand up to angry storms, but how?
Most palm trees have a large number of short roots spreading across the upper levels of the soil, which work to secure a large amount of soil around the root ball. As long as the soil is relatively dry, this works to create a super large, heavy anchor. As opposed to having just a few very strong roots, this wider network creates a bottom-heavy base that helps keep the tree in place.
The trunk of a pine or oak tree grows in a radial pattern; the annual rings effectively make a series of hollow cylinders (圆柱体) inside each other. Meanwhile, the stem of a palm tree is made of many small bundles of woody material, like the bundles of wires inside a telephone cable. The cylinder approach provides great strength to support weight, which means that an oak tree’s trunk can support a huge weight of branches, but with limited flexibility compared to the bundle approach, which allows the palm stem to bend over through 40 or 50 degrees without snapping (折断).
While most trees rely on their beautiful canopy (树冠) of branches, twigs, and leaves to spread out and grab as much sunlight as possible, the canopy can also grab a lot of wind and water. In a bad storm, the canopy can act as a sail and pull the poor thing over. Branches can easily be torn off, as well as the detachment of the whole canopy.
Meanwhile, think of a palm tree. They have no wide-spreading branches, rather huge leaves with a central, flexible spine— like enormous feathers. In nice weather, the leaves spread out and make a fine canopy, but in instances of strong wind and water, they fold up. With less resistance against the elements, they are much more likely to make it through without much damage. Of course some leaves may suffer and are part and parcel of storm clean-up, but they are much “cheaper” for the palm to replace than a whole canopy of branches would be.
【1】The trees with the stems growing in the bundle approach have ________.
A．stronger branches
B．more annual rings
C．more flexible trunks
D．greater weight capacity
【2】How do the leaves help palm trees survive a bad storm?
A．By acting like a sail to stand up to wind.
B．By grabbing a lot of wind and water.
C．By spreading out to protect the spine.
D．By folding themselves up to resist bad weather.
【3】What does the underlined part “the elements” probably refer to?
A．Strong wind and water.
B．Huge leaves.
C．Enormous feathers.
D．The canopies of branches.
【4】Which of the following can best describe palm trees?
A．Rare.
B．Adaptable.
C．Nutritious.
D．Delicate.
24、For the longest time,Amber Austwick was unable to speak.In fact,it took a donkey to inspire her first words. Amber,a 6-year-old girl in Birmingham,England,was born prematurely,along with her twin sister,Hope,in June 2010.
