[江苏连云港高级中学2022高二期中]Around the country and around the world, there is no shortage of human suffering.Poverty, disease, violence, hurricanes, wildfire and more are constantly troubling humanity, and even our best efforts thus far can’t address all of everybody’s needs.Many are looking for places to cut funding, and one of the first places that comes up in conversation is excessive spending on space exploration.What good is it to conduct microgravity experiments repeatedly when children are starving Why launch so many space related projects when nuclear war threatens our planet
This is a line of thinking that has been coming up throughout history.Yes, it’s short sighted, in that it fails to recognise that our greatest problems require long term investment, and that society’s greatest advances come about through hard work, research, development, and often are realised decades after that is made.Investing in science is investing in the betterment of humanity.

Over these years, many of the results of the space research have been adapted to be applicable to our daily lives.For example, NASA’s advancements in the areas of robotics have given manufacturers an additional basis for the development of more advanced artificial limbs.Additionally, certain nutritional enrichment ingredients (成分) that were developed by NASA have been integrated into baby food formula.
Space technology has also helped improve economies.Within the next three years, the space exploration and space tourism industry are expected to be valued at $3 trillion.It is true that for every dollar we spend on the space programme, the US economy receives about $8 of economic benefit.Space exploration can also serve as the motivation for children to enter the fields of science and engineering.
To many people, the idea of space travel may still seem far from practical.However, I believe that it is important that we keep going forward or we’ll risk delaying further discoveries and technological advancements that will be beneficial for us.

[湖北鄂西北六校2021高二期中联考]The transatlantic car carrier, Oceanbird, is being designed by Wallenius Marine, a Swedish shipbuilder, with support from the Swedish government.
With a capacity of 7 ,000 vehicles, the 650 foot long vessel will have a similar size to ordinary car carriers, but it will look totally different.The ship will have five “wing sails”, with each being 260 feet tall.These sails are capable of turning 360 degrees, and they can be shortened to 195 feet in order to pass under bridges or withstand rough weather.
“Although the general theory of wing sails is not new, designing the Oceanbird’s sails has been a challenge, ” says Mikael Razola, the research project manager of Oceanbird.“That’s because these are the tallest sails that have ever been constructed.The top of the sails will be more than 100 metres above the water surface.At such a height, the wind direction and speed change a lot, ” says Razola.
To better understand the atmospheric conditions (大气条件) at this height, Wallenius put sensors on top of the existing vessels to gather data of wind.“All of this information has helped us make the most of the power available in the wind and design an efficient wing vessel, ” says Razola.

With its special sails, Oceanbird will outperform conventional car carriers in the aspect of exhaust emission.Nowadays, the shipping industry is under pressure to reduce the emission of CO2 and other greenhouse gases.According to the International Maritime Organization (IMO), the UN body that regulates global shipping, shipping accounted for 2.89% of global man made greenhouse gas emissions in 2018.And in the same year, IMO introduced a mandatory (强制的) 50% reduction of total annual greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.Oceanbird is designed to exceed (超过) the target—Wallenius said the ship would emit 90% less CO2 than other car carriers.
With a top speed of about 10 knots, Oceanbird will be slower than standard car carriers, which can travel at 17 knots.It will take around 12 days, instead of the standard seven to cross the Atlantic.“This long journey will require some scheduling changes as well as acceptance from carmakers, ” said Razola.“But the response so far has been very positive.”
