―Two centuries ago, Lewis and Clark left St. Louis to explore the new lands acquired in the Louisiana Purchase,”George W. Bush said, announcing his desire for a program to send men and women to Mars. ―They made that journey in the spirit of discovery. America has ventured forth into space for the same reasons.‖

Yet there are vital differences between Lewis and Clark‘s expedition and a Mars mission. First, they were headed to a place where hundreds of thousands of people were already living. Second, they were certain to discover places and things of immediate value to the new nation. Third, their venture cost next to nothing by today‘s standards. A Mars mission may be the single most expensive non-wartime undertaking in U.S. history.
Appealing as the thought of travel to Mars is, it does not mean the journey makes sense, even considering the human calling to explore. And Mars as a destination for people makes absolutely no sense with current technology.
Present system for getting from Earth‘s surface to low-Earth orbit are so fantastically expensive that merely launching the 1,000 tons or so of spacecraft and equipment a Mars mission would require could be accomplished only by cutting health-care benefits, education spending, or other important programs --- or by raising taxes. Absent some remarkable discovery, astronauts, geologists, and biologists once on Mars could do little more than analyze rocks and feel awestruck（敬畏的）staring into the sky of another world. Yet rocks can be analyzed by automated probes without risk to human life, and at a tiny fraction of the cost of sending people.
It is interesting to note that when President Bush unveiled his proposal, he listed these recent major achievements of space exploration pictures of evidence of water on Mars, discovery of more than 100 planets outside our solar system, and study of the soil of Mars. All these accomplishments came from automated probes or automated space telescopes. Bush‘s proposal, which calls for“reprogramming”some of NASA‘s present budget into the Mars effort, might actually lead to a reduction in such unmanned science --- the one aspect of space exploration that‘s working really well.
Rather than spend hundreds of billions of dollars to hurl tons toward Mars using current technology, why not take a decade or two or however much time is required researching new launch systems and advanced propulsion（推进力）? If new launch systems could put weight into orbit affordably, and advanced propulsion could speed up that long, slow transit to Mars, the dream of stepping onto the red planet might become reality. Mars will still be there when the technology is ready.
63. What do Lewis and Clark‘s expedition and a Mars mission have in common? A. Instant value.
B. Human inhabitance.

C. Venture cost. D. Exploring spirit.
64. Bush‘s proposal is challenged for the following reasons except that ______. A. its expenditure is too huge for the government to afford.
B. American people‘s well-being will suffer a lot if it is implemented C. great achievements have already been made in Mars exploration in America D. unmanned Mars exploration sounds more practical and economical for the moment 65. Which cannot be concluded from the passage?
A. Going to Mars using current technology is quite unrealistic.
B. A Mars mission will in turn promote the development of unmanned program. C. Bush‘s proposal is based on three recent great achievements of space exploration. D. The achievements in place exploration show how well unmanned science has developed. 66. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Risky as it is, a Mars mission helps to retain America‘s position as a technological leader. B. A Mars mission is so costly that it may lead to an economic disaster in America. C. Someday people may go to Mars but not until it makes technological sense.
D. A Mars mission is unnecessary since the scientists once there won‘t make great discoveries. Keys:

A growing amount of human- made orbital debris(太空轨道残骸)---from rocket stages and out-of-date satellites---- is circling the Earth. Scientists say the orbital debris, better known as

space junk, poses an increasing threat to space activities. ―This is a growing environmental problem,‖ said Nicholas Johnson, the chief scientist and program manager for orbital debris at NASA(美国航空航天局) in Houston, Texas.
Johnson and his team have developed a computer model capable of simulating past and future amounts of space junk. The model predicts that even without future rocket or satellite launches, the amount of debris in low orbit around Earth will steady through 2055, after which it will increase. While current efforts have focused on limiting future space junk, these scientists say removing large pieces of old space junk will soon be necessary.
Since the first launch of satellite in 1957, humans have been generating space junk. The U.S. Space Surveillance Network is currently tracking over 13,000 human-made objects larger than ten centimeters in diameter orbiting the Earth. ―Of the 13,000 objects, over 40 percent came from breakups of both spacecraft and rocket bodies,‖ Johnson said. In addition, there are hundreds of thousands of smaller objects in space. These include everything from pieces of plastic to bits of paint. Much of this smaller junk has come from exploding rocket stages. Stages are sections of a rocket that have their own fuel or engines.
These objects travel at speeds over 35,000 kilometers an hour. At such high speed, even small junk can tear holes in a spacecraft or disable a satellite by causing electrical shorts that result from clouds of superheated gas.
Johnson believes it may be time to think about how to remove junk from space. Previous proposals range from sending up spacecrafts to grab junk and bring it down to using lasers to slow an objects orbit to cause it to fall back to Earth more quickly. Given current technology, those proposals appear neither technically nor economically practical, ―Space junk is like any environmental problem,‖ Johnson admits. ―It‘s growing. If you don‘t deal with it now, it will only become worse, and the solutions in the future are going to be even more costly.‖ 56. What is this passage mainly talking about?
A. Advanced technology is used to remove space junk. B. NASA is responsible for the environmental problem. C. Cleaning up the space junk is greatly needed. D. Human activities generate much orbital debris. 57. Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage?
A. Rocket launches produce more debris than satellite launches.
