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.
【C3】
选项
答案
G
解析
分析句子结构可知,Once引导时间状语从句,因此空格处应填入一个形容词构成系表结构,或填入一个现在分词或过去分词构成进行时态或被动语态。空格前面一句提到,在此之前的火箭几乎都是一次性的。再结合常识可知,一旦火箭耗尽了燃料,它就会坠回地球,故G项expended“花费,耗费”为答案。
