2017英語專業八級作文范文：政府該不該花錢在探索太空上
Model Essay(范文)：
When we see photographs of starving children, it's hard to say that we should spend billionsof dollars on space exploration. But that's just what we should do. Children don't need to bestarving, but we do need to explore space. Right now, we have enough money to feed everyperson on Earth. Children are starving because of mismanagement of resources and simplehuman greed. Those are problems we can solve right here on earth. That shouldn't stop ourneed to find out what's beyond our own solar system.
We may never make contact with whatever other species there may be out there in space.Even so, there are still two very practical and positive consequences of space exploration. Oneis a certainty and the other is a possibility. The certainty is medical research. Yes, we canconduct research here on earth. But much of the research done in space, for example, on theeffects of gravity on bone marrow, is making a difference in medicine here on Earth. When wedo research in space, we also learn more about space exploration. Also, many of the inventionsthat were developed for space travel have been adapted to good use on Earth.
The possible consequence of space exploration is finding another planet human beingscan colonize. Overpopulation is a huge problem on our planet. People are living longer, morehealthful lives, and that's a good thing. But it means there are fewer people dying and morepeople being born. Eventually we'll have less space, fewer resources, and major distributionproblems. If we can find another planet to live on, we can relieve the problems ofoverpopulation on our planet.
It's a tragedy that there are human beings suffering on Earth. However, if we wait untileveryone has a perfect life, we will never explore space—and that , too, would be a kind oftragedy.
