Space X launched a cheaper, partially-used rocket into orbit. That’s a stride toward 【C1】______the price tag of sending payload to space. Successfully flying reusable rockets is a 【C2】______step toward the dream of sending people to Mars. Until now, rockets have almost all been single-use. Once the fuel is【C3】______, a rocket stage plummets to Earth, resulting in the destruction of extremely expensive equipment that costs tens of millions of dollars to build.
Its founder has likened that to 【C4】______a 747 jet after one flight, which would make air travel impossibly expensive. He has suggested that rocket launches could 【C5】______be much cheaper since the cost of the rocket propellants are less than 1 percent of the full-price ticket for a launch. So, if a rocket could be simply refueled like a jetliner for another flight, the cost of space travel could drop to a 【C6】______of what it is now. The stresses of spaceflight on reused boosters, however, are much greater than those on jetliners. The economics will depend on how many times a booster can be flown, and how much the 【C7】______expense will be to repair the booster each time.
Reusable spaceships are not a new idea. NASA’s space shuttles were the first real 【C8】______at a reusable spaceship, but the shuttles proved more 【C9】______than hoped, requiring an army of technicians to 【C10】______them between flights. As a result, they ended up being more expensive than expendable rockets.
【C8】
选项
答案
A
解析
空格前是形容词real,空格后是介词短语,且分析句子结构可知,本句缺少表语,因此,空格处应填入一个名词作系动词were的表语。本段第一句提到,太空船的重复使用并非新概念,原因是美国国家航空航天局之前曾经首次尝试重复使用过太空船,故A项attempt“努力,尝试”为答案。
