　　托福写作素材模板：太空旅游

　　素材段落

　　Space exploration is an expensive area for government to invest money in. There would beunimaginable fuel costs and technological challenges associated with starting a space project. Even though the public has raised doubts about the rationality of space exploration, the benefits of going somewhere few people have ever gone before are significant. One cited benefit is that the exploration of the unknown world would encourage students to pursue STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) careers. It is difficult to accurately calculate the number of students who have been inspired by space travel and then decided to start related careers. When questioned about their original career inspirations, many famous scientists acknowledge that they were fascinated by the stars ever since they were children. Obviously, the adventure of infinite space has stimulatedmany children’s dreams and supported their future.

　　With the widespread application of sophisticated information and communication technologies, the concept of creating a ‘smart city’ has been proposed as the ultimate goal that large cities would seek in their future development. A ‘smart city’ could largely improve the quality of life and the performance of urban services. For example, it has brought local residents a more efficacious and user-friendly public transportation system. In Barcelona, a new bus network has been designed to utilize vertical, horizontal and diagonal routes with a number of interchanges, based on the analysis of the most common traffic flows.
