{01}Exploring _____space is exciting, yet dangerous.
There is _____need for both robots and humans for space exploration.

A.the; a

B.a; a

C./; a

D./; the

解析：该题考查冠词的用法。本题中space是不可数名词，此前不可加冠词；need是可数名词，此处表示泛指，所以要用不定冠词。因此该题最佳答案是C。
本题选C。
{02}Mary couldn’t remember the exact date of the hurricane, but she knew it was ____ Saturday because everybody was at ___ church.

A./; the

B.a; /

C./; a

D.the; /

解析：a表示某一，at church 表示“在做礼拜”，故church前不加the;
本题选B。
