The first private mission outside of earth orbit is closer than many of us think. （5）U.S. government officials outset to approve a mission by privately held space company, Moon Express, to travel outside of earth orbit in late 2017. （6）Moon Express’s mission involves plans to land a suitcase-size package of scientific equipment on the moon for ongoing exploration on commercial development. The decision involved amounts of lobbying and coordinative conversations between a number of federal agencies. On the international treaties, the U.S. is responsible for the cargo of both public and private space craft. This makes commercial space travel a complex legal issue not just domestically but abroad. A Moon Express representative declined to comment on the story, （7）but noted that the company is very optimistic about its proposal. Moon Express is not the only company seeking for the right to travel to outer space. Elon Musk’s Space X aims to send an unmanned aircraft to Mars by 2018.
Questions 5 to 7 are based on the news report you have just heard.
5. What is the news report mainly about?
6. What is Moon Express planning to do?
7. What does Moon Express think of its mission?
选项 A、It is significant.
B、It is promising.
C、It is unpredictable.
D、It is unprofitable.
答案 B
解析 浏览四个选项，均为描述性语句，由此可推测，此题与对某事的看法或评价有关。题干问的是月球捷运公司如何看待自己的任务。新闻后半部分提到，月球捷运公司的一位代表拒绝就此事发表评论，但他指出公司对该提案非常乐观。B项(有前途的，有希望的)与原文中的optimistic(乐观的)意思相近，故答案为B。A项(这项任务意义重大)、C项(这项任务不可预知)和D项(这项任务不盈利)均与新闻内容不符，故排除。
