Why shuld mankind explre space? Why shuld mney, time and effrt be spent explring and researching smething with s few apparent benefits? Why shuld resurces be spent n space rather than n cnditins and peple n Earth? These are questins that, understandably, are very ften asked.
Perhaps the best answer lies in ur genetic makeup as human beings. What drve ur ancestrs t mve frm the trees int the plains, and n int all pssible areas and envirnments? The wider the spread f a species, the better its chance f survival. Perhaps the best reasn fr explring space is this genetic tendency t expand wherever pssible.
Nearly every successful civilizatin has explred, because by ding s, any dangers in surrunding areas can be identified and prepared fr. Withut knwledge, we may be cmpletely destryed by the danger. With knwledge, we can lessen its effects.
Explratin als allws minerals and ther ptential resurces t be fund. Even if we have n immediate need f them, they will perhaps be useful later. Resurces may be mre than physical pssessins. Knwledge r techniques have been acquired thrugh explratin. The techniques may have medical applicatins which can imprve the length r quality f ur lives. We have already benefited frm ther spin﹣ffs including imprvements in earthquake predictin, in satellites fr weather frecasting and in cmmunicatins systems. Even nn﹣stick pans and mirrred sunglasses are by﹣prducts（副产品）f technlgical develpments in the space industry.
While many resurces are spent n what seems a small return, the explratin f space allws creative, brave and intelligent members f ur species t fcus n what may serve t save us. While space may hld many wnders and explanatins f hw the universe was frmed r hw it wrks, it als hlds dangers. The danger exists, but knwledge can help human being t survive. Withut the ability t reach ut acrss space, the chance t save urselves might nt exist.
While Earth is the nly planet knwn t supprt life, surely the adaptive ability f humans wuld allw us t live n ther planets. It is true that the lifestyle wuld be different, but human life and cultures have adapted in the past and surely culd in the future.

（1）Why des the authr mentin the questins in Paragraph1？________
A. T express his dubts.
B. T cmpare different ideas.
C. T describe the cnditins n Earth.
D. T intrduce pints fr discussin.．

（2）What is the reasn fr explring space based n Paragraph 2？________
A. Humans have the tendency t fight.
B. Humans are nature﹣brn t d s.
C. Humans may find new surces f fd.
D. Humans dn't like t stay in the same place.．

（3）What makes it pssible fr humans t live n ther planets？________
A. The adaptive ability f humans.
B. Resurces n the earth.
C. Our genetic makeup.
D. By﹣prducts in space explratin.．

（4）Which f the statements can best sum up the passage？________
A. Space explratin has created many wnders.
B. Space explratin prvided the best value fr mney.
C. Space explratin may help us avid ptential prblems n Earth.
D. Space explratin may benefit science and technlgy.．

A seed expert wh brught high﹣quality vegetable seeds t many cuntries， was awarded the 2019 Wrld Fd Prize. Simn Grt f the Netherlands is credited with intrducing high﹣quality， disease﹣ resistance vegetable seeds t mre than 60 cuntries including the Philippines， Thailand and Indnesia.
He began his search t create better vegetable seeds t help farmers in Sutheast Asia in 1981. Sixteen years earlier， he had made his first trip t Indnesia. There，Grt learned that vegetable seeds which were develped fr the climate f Eurpe， did prly when planted in the ht trpics. He thught there was a great pssibility t intrduce hybrid vegetables t the area. The area lacked vegetable seed develpers wh were trying t create hybrids fr the lcal climate.
"I nticed the seed quality in that part f wrld was s much belw ur standards and belw achievable standards. I culd nt stand that the farmers there did nt have better seeds." Said Grt.
At that time，farmers in Sutheast Asia usually saved seeds frm seasn t seasn. That was because the seeds available fr sale were ften ld. Thse seeds were usually frm Eurpe r Nrth America and did nt grw well in their trpical climate. This meant that the farmers ended up with smaller crps， and lwer quality that changed greatly frm seasn t seasn. The plant als culd easily becme infected with diseases.
Grt partnered with seed trader Benit Dming f the Philippines. They put tgether a team f seed researchers and grwers frm Wageninge University in the Netherlands and the University f the Philippines. Within a few years， they develped a hybrid bitter gurd that sld successfully. Then they adapted a tmat plant， fllwed by eggplants， pumpkins and leafy vegetables.
The early success led t the start f the East﹣West Seed Cmpany，which nw has mre than 970 imprved seeds f 60 vegetable crps. Over the past 40 years，the discveries have led t the creatin f a trpical vegetable seed industry aimed at small farmers. The trpical seeds are nw spreading int Asia，Africa and Latin America. It is estimated that the cmpany's seeds are used by 20 millin farmers each year in mre than 60 cuntries.
The award was annunced during a ceremny at the U.S. Department f State hsted by Secretary f State Mike Pmpe. "The remarkable imprvements made in these trpical vegetable seeds helped small farmers in develping natins prduce mre fd and imprtantly get mre incme fr themselves and their families，" Pmpe said. He added that these seeds fight hunger and help increase ecnmic grwth.
（1）Wh is Simn Grt？（不多于四个字）________
（2）Why was Grt awarded？（不多于六个字）________
（3）What caused lwer incmes frm crps in Sutheast Asia in the past？（不多于三个字）________
（4）When did Grt begin his search t create better vegetable seeds？（不多于两个字）________
（5）Why des the authr mentin the Pmpe's statement at last？（不多于五个字）________
