13、的能源總歸有一天會(huì)枯竭，尋求首先，人類居住的地球的能源總歸有一天會(huì)枯竭，尋求新能源，是人類面臨的一重大科研課題。月球作為地球最新能源，是人類面臨的一重大科研課題。月球作為地球最忠實(shí)的衛(wèi)星，是人類未來賴以生存的能源倉庫，它上面的忠實(shí)的衛(wèi)星，是人類未來賴以生存的能源倉庫，它上面的玄武巖里鈦鐵礦的體積占，鈦大概有萬億噸玄武巖里鈦鐵礦的體積占，鈦大概有萬億噸以上，將來人類能直接用這種玄武巖生產(chǎn)水、液氧燃料等以上，將來人類能直接用這種玄武巖生產(chǎn)水、液氧燃料等資源。月球上還有豐富的礦產(chǎn)資源，象地球上稀缺的鈾、資源。月球上還有豐富的礦產(chǎn)資源，象地球上稀缺的鈾、稀土等稀土等 ，特別是月球土壤中特有的氦，特別是

15、可以進(jìn)行生造穩(wěn)定、弱重力和高潔凈的環(huán)境，可以進(jìn)行生物制品和新材料的開發(fā)研究；月球背面不受地物制品和新材料的開發(fā)研究；月球背面不受地球無線電波干擾，可以建立月球天文觀測(cè)基地、球無線電波干擾，可以建立月球天文觀測(cè)基地、實(shí)驗(yàn)室，把月球建成人類探求宇宙星空的前沿實(shí)驗(yàn)室，把月球建成人類探求宇宙星空的前沿哨所?？傊?，月球是人類研究月球科學(xué)、天體哨所。總之，月球是人類研究月球科學(xué)、天體化學(xué)、空間物理、生命科學(xué)、對(duì)地觀測(cè)科學(xué)與化學(xué)、空間物理、生命科學(xué)、對(duì)地觀測(cè)科學(xué)與材料科學(xué)的理想場(chǎng)所材料科學(xué)的理想場(chǎng)所第三，人類探月登月引發(fā)的一系列技術(shù)革命和進(jìn)第三，人類探月登月引發(fā)的一系列技術(shù)革命和進(jìn)步，成為社會(huì)、經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展的新

16、技術(shù)支撐，帶動(dòng)和步，成為社會(huì)、經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展的新技術(shù)支撐，帶動(dòng)和促進(jìn)了一系列基礎(chǔ)科學(xué)、科學(xué)技術(shù)的創(chuàng)新和發(fā)展，促進(jìn)了一系列基礎(chǔ)科學(xué)、科學(xué)技術(shù)的創(chuàng)新和發(fā)展，形成了一大批高科技工業(yè)群體，產(chǎn)生了顯著的社形成了一大批高科技工業(yè)群體，產(chǎn)生了顯著的社會(huì)經(jīng)濟(jì)效益。當(dāng)年美國會(huì)經(jīng)濟(jì)效益。當(dāng)年美國“阿波羅阿波羅”登月工程耗資登月工程耗資是巨大的，達(dá)億美元，但它在無線電制導(dǎo)、是巨大的，達(dá)億美元，但它在無線電制導(dǎo)、合成材料、高性能計(jì)算機(jī)等高科技方面創(chuàng)造出合成材料、高性能計(jì)算機(jī)等高科技方面創(chuàng)造出多項(xiàng)新技術(shù)，從經(jīng)濟(jì)效益方面評(píng)估，多項(xiàng)新技術(shù)，從經(jīng)濟(jì)效益方面評(píng)估，“阿阿波羅波羅”登月工程每投入美元就能產(chǎn)出了到登月工程每投入美元就能產(chǎn)

17、出了到美元的效益，這說明人類探月登月的經(jīng)濟(jì)效益是美元的效益，這說明人類探月登月的經(jīng)濟(jì)效益是巨大的，無法估量的。巨大的，無法估量的。Read the text and fill in the blanks with the right words. Neil Armstrong is the first man to walk on the moon.
