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. [br] 【C4】
选项
答案
M
解析
根据空格前的“likened…to…”结构可知,此处的to为介词,后面需要用名词、动名词或代词作宾语,再结合空格后的名词短语a 747 jet可知,此处应填入一个动名词,与后面的名词短语构成动宾结构。根据上下文语境可知,此处是Space X的创始人对上文提到的“燃料耗尽导致的火箭报废”这一现象进行比喻,结合空格后的“747喷气式飞机只飞过一次”以及由此导致的结果“空中旅行超乎想象地昂贵”可知,此处是说创始人把这一现象比喻为一架747喷气式飞机只飞过一次就报废了,故M项scrapping“抛弃;把……报废”为答案。
