16、U /U. （分数：50.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：genetic）解析：听力原文 Why should mankind explore space? Why should money, time and effort be spent exploring, investigating and researching something with so few benefits? Why should resources be spent on space rather than on conditions and people on Earth, or in our own coun

17、try? Perhaps the best answer lies in our genetic makeup. What drove our distant ancestors to move from the trees onto the plains? Was it the lack of skills to compete in one ecological niche? If so, the adaptations selected for after the move have resulted in a species expanding into all possible ar

18、eas and environments, the drive to spread genetic material and ensure the success of not just the species, but of one type of genetic material. The wider the distribution of a species, the better the chance of survival. Perhaps the best reason for exploring space is the built-in genetic predispositi

19、on to expand into all possible niches. Culturally nearly every successful civilization has been willing to explore. In exploring, dangers of surrounding areas may be learned and prepared for. Dangers may be political enemies in neighboring cultures, physical features of the area, a change in the are

20、a which might affect food supplies or any other number of factors. All pose a real danger and all may be made less dangerous if certain preparations are made. Without knowledge, the danger may strike and completely destroy. With knowledge, the effects or consequences may be lessened. Exploration als

21、o allows resources to be located. Resources translate into power and success at survival. Whether the success be financial, political or genetic, additional resources are always a boon when used wisely. In any of the three manners, use of resources allows a heightened percentage for survival. If the

22、 resources are not immediately needed, then perhaps later they will be used. Resources may be more than physical assets. Knowledge or techniques acquired in exploring or preparing to explore always filter from the developers to the general populace. Techniques may be medical applications, uses for d

23、rugs or ways of living to increase the quantity of time lived or the quality of that time. Techniques may be social, allowing the people in a society to better understand those within or outside the culture. Better understanding may lead to better use of resources or a lessening of outright competit

24、ion for the resources. While many resources are spent on what seems a small return, the exploration of space allows the creative, the brave, the intelligent of our species to focus on what may serve to save us. While space may hold many wonders and explanations of how the universe was formed or how

25、it works, it also holds dangers. The chance of a large asteroid or comet hitting Earth is small. But given time, it will happen. Several current models of evolution propose many changes in a very short time period. Some explanations for the drastic speed of extinction and evolution include strikes b

26、y asteroids or comets. Human technology is reaching the point where it might be able to detect such a threat and allow us to do something about it. The danger exists, but knowledge can allow us as a species to survive. Without the ability to reach out across space, the chance to save ourselves might

27、 not exist. While Earth is the only planet known to sustain life, surely the adaptive ability of humans would allow other planets and moons to become inhabited. True, the life style would be different, but human life and cultures have adapted in the past and surely could in the future. Our genetic m

28、akeup will allow humans to move into unoccupied niches and flourish. The culture group holding the high ground has attained a great advantage over other groups. It can see farther, act sooner and be safer from attack. In space all of these things are true. The culture which expands is like an organi

29、sm which adapts. It may be found everywhere. If one group is eliminated, the species as a whole survives. The old adage, “Do not put all your eggs in one basket,“ holds true for humans and cultures. The more a culture expands, the less chance of it becoming extinct. Space allows us to expand and suc

32、 In a new survey of more than 900 major U.S. companies, nearly U U 3 /U /Uof them acknowledged using a range of U U 4 /U /Umethods to monitor their employees. And up to a quarter of the companies that monitor their workforce do it U U 5 /U /U. The number of employees being monitored has U U 6 /U /U

36、t, that U U 20 /U /Uemployee privacy. （分数：50.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：watched）解析：听力原文 Many employees complain that theyre being watched while they work during the day. The majority of U.S. companies keep watch on their workers with video cameras, tape recorders, computer surveillance. If you send personal e

37、mail on your office computer, theres a good chance the boss is keeping an eye on you. In a new survey of more than 900 major U.S. companies, nearly two-thirds of them acknowledged using a range of surveillance methods to monitor their employees. Some employers issue that warning, but others do not.

38、 In the most worrisome finding of the survey, up to a quarter of the companies that monitor their workforce do it secretly. And the practice is on the rise. According to the ACLUs Workplace Rights Project, the number of employees being monitored has doubled in the last five years. Whats driving this

39、 increase? Partly, its competition. If everyone else in an industry is keeping tabs on their workers, theres pressure to join in. But, to a large extent, companies have stepped up monitoring simply because it could be done cheaply and efficiently. Most employers insist that these are legitimate and

40、even necessary business practices. According to these employers, even as surveillance becomes more widespread, theres nothing sinister about the practice itself. They claim that these practices were talking about for the most part are very legitimate forms of performance monitoring. They say employe

41、rs have a right to know how equipment they provide is being used on the job, if rules are being obeyed, if employees are getting the job done. That helps explain why banks routinely tape customer service calls, and why the U.S. Postal Service is testing a satellite system to track how long it takes

42、to get the mail delivered. The National Association of Manufacturers says companies are using technology to accomplish other important goals. Video cameras were recently installed in his building to deter theft. And the Association keeps a log of all phone calls so employees can pay the company for their personal ca
