问题 The merchant spacecraft is meant to______. [br]  
It’s 60 feet long, made of lightweight, fuel-efficient material and can carry eight people out of this world and back.
    The first commercial spaceship was unveiled by Sir Richard Branson, who hopes to start passenger trips within two years. The price tag; ￡130, 000.
    "In time we hope to get that price down and down and down so that, you know, one day, people can think: ’Shall I take my family on holiday to the Caribbean or maybe we should try space travel this year? ’That’s our aim."
    Those that can pay will get the ultimate three-hour thrill ride. The spaceship rockets to 62 miles above the earth’s surface. Passengers will feel weightless for up to five minutes before heading down through the atmosphere and gliding back to earth.
    Organisers say some 300 have already signed up. Space, as a tourist destination, may be one step closer.
选项 A、The trip to the space would last for 3 hours.
B、The passengers will feel weightless during the trip.
C、The trip is so expensive that nobody wants it now.
D、The spaceship could hold 8 people at a time.
答案 C
解析 细节题。新闻中指出，这架长60英尺、轻型、节能高效的商业飞船能载8人，但是一次旅行价格高达13万英镑。游客将会经历3个小时激动人心的旅行。在飞船穿过大气层滑向地面之前足足有5分钟会让人有失重的感觉。举办方说目前已经有300人报名参加，并不是没有人愿意参加。选项A、B、D都与新闻描述相符，本题为反选题，故正确答案是C。
