Yuri Gagarin from Soviet Union was the first human to visit space on April 12, 1961. In the 108 minutes’ journey, he covered 40, 000 kilometers. China’s first astronaut into space is Yang Liwei. Impressive and complex【C5】______it may appear, the rocket, which was【C6】______in China over 800 years【C7】______, is a relatively simple device. Fuel that is【C8】______in the rocket engine changes【C9】______gas. The hot and rapidly【C10】______gas must escape, but it can do so only【C11】______an opening that【C12】______backward. As the gas is【C13】______with great force, it【C14】______the rocket in the【C15】______direction.

【C18】
选项 A、described
B、discussed
C、considered
D、made
答案A
解析 此题为词义辨析题。describe意为“记载描述”；discuss意为“讨论”；consider意为“考虑”；make意为“制造”。这一自然规律是牛顿所描述的，所以describe正确，其他三个词义在句中解释不通。
