答案
There is an argument that exploring space is a waste of money and that there are more urgent needs to be addressed on earth, such as reducing poverty and preventing environmental destruction. However, I completely disagree with this opinion for two reasons. First of all, many of the technologies we take for granted today were originated thanks to space research. Take satellite technology for example, which we depend on for broadcasting and weather forecasting. Without satellites, we would not be able to follow global events as they happen, nor give the public any warning of approaching storms. Space research has also led to the development of new lightweight materials that offer us heat protection and enable food preservation. Therefore, the challenge of sending human beings into space has often driven the development of new technologies that benefit our everyday lives. Second, we cannot foresee the distant future, so we ought to develop the capability to escape from the earth. Gradually, we are learning how humans can survive for long periods in space and even travel to other planets in the future. If space exploration is halted, this valuable knowledge will never be acquired. It is true that environmental destruction is a serious issue, but it is also true that we remain dependent on our environment if we never accept the challenge of exploring other worlds. In conclusion, while we undoubtedly face serious problems on our own planet, it is imperative that we continue to explore space. This will promote further technological advances as well as provide a possible means of escape should earth become uninhabitable in future.
解析
题目讨论太空研究费用高昂,钱是否应该花在其他更重要的事情上。审题时注意本题不是单纯讨论太空研究是否重要,而是与其他问题相比,花钱在太空研究是否值得。若同意题目观点,则可选用以下理由:如太空研究非常耗时且耗资巨大,但收效甚微,短期内不能见效;不能使广大民众受益。不同意的话,可选用理由如一些日常技术其实得益于太空研究,如卫星技术;太空研究为人类未来发展提供另一条可行之路。范文采用后一种观点。
