问题 Which of the following statements is NOT true about the rocket?
[6A] A rocket carrying three Russian satellites has crashed into the Pacific Ocean. The Proton-M strayed off course after being launched from Kazakhstan.
    The rocket took off from the Baikonur cosmodrome on Sunday but crashed into the Pacific Ocean, around 1,500km northwest of Hawaii. [6B] Its cargo was three Glonass-M navigation satellites, each weighing 1.4 tons. They were intended as replacements for the Glonass global positioning system, a network of 24 satellites providing location information, [6D] similar to the US-run GPS network.
选项 A、It crashed into the Pacific Ocean.
B、It carried three Russian satellites, weighing 4.2 tons.
C、Its task was to supplement the Glonass global positioning system.
D、The Glonass global positioning system is similar to the US-run GPS network.
答案 C
解析 综合推理题。根据新闻内容可知，携带三颗俄罗斯卫星的火箭坠入太平洋；火箭搭载的是三颗格洛纳斯卫星，每一颗的重量是1．4吨(each weighing 1．4 tons)；这三颗卫星原本要替换格洛纳斯全球定位系统(intended as replacements for the Glonass global positioning system)；该系统相当于美国的GPS网络。因此可以判断选项[A]、[B]、[D]均正确，[C]中supplement“补充”错误，故为答案。注意选项[B]中没有each，故为三颗卫星重量之和，即4．2吨。
