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.
【C9】
选项
答案
D
解析
由空格后的连词than可知,此处是一个比较句,再由空格前的系动词proved可知,空格处应填入一个形容词作proved的表语。由下文中的an army of technicians及between flights可知,下文提到的是每次飞行后对航天飞机进行维修,由此可知,航天飞机很脆弱,需要及时维修,故D项delicate“微妙的;脆弱的”为答案。
