Ⅲ.话题美文诵读

Is It Possible for Man to Expand to Other Planets?人类有可能移居其他星球吗？

Man has found it hard for our earth to support so many people. Some people suggest that we expand to other planets. This seems a fascinating idea. However, scientific findings on the other planets prove the idea to be almost impossible. As we all know, the natural environment on other planets is different from that on the earth. The evidences show that there is neither water nor air on the other planets.Therefore, it is impossible for man to survive there. Though we have realized the dream of space flight, how to transfer so many people to the other planets still remains a big problem. Furthermore, food and other energy resources should also be taken into consideration. In short, as far as our present science and technology is concerned, it is not likely that man can expand to other planets. 【文章结构】

提出议题；分析目前无法移居其他星球的理由；结论。

(1) take into consideration考虑到
