Shenzhou 7 (simplified Chinese: 神舟七号; traditional Chinese: 神舟七号; pinyin: shénzhōu qīhào) was the third human spaceflight mission of the Chinese space program. The mission, which included an extra-vehicular activity (EVA) carried out by crewmembers Zhai Zhigang and Liu Boming, marked the commencement of the second phase of the Chinese government's Project 921.
The Shenzhou spacecraft carrying the three crewmembers was launched September 25, 2008 by a Long March 2F (CZ-2F) rocket which lifted off from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center at 21:10 CST.[1][3] The mission lasted three days, after which the craft landed safely in Siziwang Banner in central Inner Mongolia on September 28, 2008 at 17:37 CST.[2][4] The EVA carried out during the flight makes China the third country to have conducted an EVA, after Russia and the United States.

Do We Need Space Exploration(我们是否需要太空探索)
Man has been fascinated by outer space for thousands of years. It has been almost over forty years since man's first landing on the moon. Now, some people believe that space exploration is a sheer waste of time and money. They point out the fact that it cost billions of dollars to carry on the space research, but a little information was brought back.

However, every coin has two sides. There are still a majority of other people who believe that space exploration has more advantages. And I agree with those people. Many new products, such as weather and communication satellites, are also products of space programs, and they have benefited people all over the world. And what's more, scientific knowledge about outer space has been acquired by mankind.www.hxw.red

We believed that it wi!/bring more benefits in the future, which we can not even imagine now. Space exploration is a challenge to human beings. That's why several nations try hard to carry out space exploration continuously.

我们是否需要太空探索

人类对外部空间着迷已有上千年的历史了。从人类第一次登上月球起至今已有四十多年了。现在，有些人认为空间探索完全是浪费时间和金钱。他们指出，数百亿美元用于太空研究，但收获甚微。

然而，任何事物都具有两面性。仍有大多数人认为进行空间探索利大于弊，我也非常赞同他们的观点。许多新产品，如气象、通讯卫星都直接得益于空间研究，使全球受益匪浅，而且人类从中获得了不少关于太空的知识。

我们相信，将来它会带给人类更多的好处，有些甚至是我们现在无法想象的。太空探索对我们人类来说是个挑战，这也是为什么许多国家不断进行探索的原因之一。

Directions:

Write an essay of 160—200 words based on the following table. In your essay, you should first describe the table, then interpret its meaning, and give your comment on it.

You should write neatly on ANSWER SHEET 2. (20 points)

As is accurately revealed in the table above, Shen-zhou series spaceflight missions have been consecutively and successfully carried out over the past seven years (from 1999 to 2005). The successful launch of Shen-zhou Ⅵ, in particular, has inspired every Chinese both at home and abroad.

The implied meaning of the table above can be briefly stated as follows. To begin with, the Opening-up and Reform has brought about fruitful achievements. It is well-known that the Opening-up and Reform has greatly improved the growth of our national economy, which has laid a solid foundation for the development of science and technology including aeronautics and astronautics. What’s more, Chinese science and technology have achieved the advanced world level. The construction and launch of space vehicle depend on the technical support from such disciplines as materials science, biology, communications, meteorology and astronomy. The successful launch of Shen-zhou Ⅵ has proved that the comprehensive capability of Chinese science and technology are of world class. In sum, the successful launch of Shen-zhou represents the feat of Opening-up and Reform and the rapid development of our science and technology. www.hxw.red

In my view, the prospect of China is bound to be more promising. On the one hand, our government will place more stress on the development of science and technology. On the other hand, the growth of science and technology will contribute to the improvement of our life, study, and work. Therefore, we have good reasons to embrace a harmonious and well-off society with open arms.
