SPACE: THE FINAL FRONTIER
“Are we alone? What’s out there?”   1   (look) up at the stars, people have always wanted to learn more about space, and scientists work hard   2   (find) answers. They make   3  
(vehicle) to carry brave people into space to find out the secrets of the universe. They also really wish to discover other planets that are   4   (suit) enough to support life.
Before the mid-20th century, most people felt travelling into space was an impossible dream. However, some scientists were   5   (determine) to help humans realise their dream to explore space. After many experiments, they succeeded making rockets that could escape Earth’s gravity. On 4 October 1957, the Sputnik 1 satellite was lunched by the USSR and successfully orbited around Earth. Afterwards, the USSR focused   6   sending people into space, and on 12 April 1961, Yuri Gagarin became the first person in the world to go into space. Over eight years later, on 20 July 1969, American astronaut Neil Armstrong stepped onto the moon,   7   (famous) saying, “That’s one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind.” Following this, many more   8   (goal) were achieved. For example, America’s NASA space agency   9   (launch) Voyager 1 on 5 September 1977 to study deep space, and it still transmits data today.
Although scientists try to make sure nothing goes wrong, accidents can still happen. All the astronauts on the USSR’s Soyuz 11 and America’s Challenger died during their missions. These disasters made everyone sad and   10   (disappoint), but the desire   11   (explore) the universe never died. This is because people believe in the importance of carrying   12   space exploration despite the huge risks. An example of this ongoing work is the International Space Station. It   13   (orbit) Earth and has astronauts from different countries   14   board, providing a continuous human presence in space.
China’s space programme started later than those of Russia and the US, but it has made great progress in a short time. China became the third country in the world to   15   (independent) send humans into space in 2003,   16   Yang Liwei successfully orbited Earth in the Shenzhou 5 spacecraft. Then Shenzhou 6 and 7 completed a second manned orbit and the first Chinese spacewalk, followed by the vehicle Jade Rabbit being sent to the moon to study   17   (it) surface. After that, China launched the Tiangong 2 space lab into space and Tianzhou 1 to dock with it. This signalled one step further in China’s plan to establish a space station in the future. More   18   (recent), China has sent Chang’e 4 to explore the surface of the far side of the moon to make   19   (measurement) and observations.
The future of space exploration remains bright. Europe, the US, and China all have plans to further study and explore planets like Mars and Jupiter. Despite the difficulties, scientists hope future discoveries will not only enable us to understand   20   the universe began, but also help us survive well into the future.

IS EXPLORING SPACE A WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY?
Countries around the globe are spending billions of dollars and lots of time   1   various space missions, whether to Mars   2   other planets much further away. Some people   3  
(argument) that we should stop   4   (waste) time and money exploring space. Instead, we should feed the world’s poor and find immediate solutions   5   other problems, such as pollution and fatal diseases. However, others feel this is a shallow view which fails   6  
(realise) how exploring space helps us.
Firstly, exploring space has already made   7   difference in the fight against world hunger. It has directly resulted   8   the many satellites that now orbit Earth. A number of the satellites record data on land and weather   9   (pattern). Then the data is transmitted to scientists on Earth. After careful   10   (analyse), the scientists can provide useful recommendations and advice for farmers.   11   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   12   (meet) the requirements for space exploration. For example, space technologies have helped the research and development of different   13   (type) of new material. They have also helped companies make better heart monitors and other machines that doctors   14   (regular) use. Today, space technologies are   15   (wide) used in all kinds of industries, and everyday products such as GPS, memory foam pillows, and smartphone cameras are changing our lives.
Finally,   16   (send) 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   17   (limit). In order to provide for such   18   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   19   (close), exploring space provides the world with many different   20   (benefit). Therefore, it should continue so as to provide new and better solutions to people’s short-term and long-term problems.
