What happened on January 27th, 1967? [br]
Although it is impossible to eliminate all risks from such a complex and experimental project as the American space programme, every precaution is taken to reduce the possibility of injury. Nevertheless, accidents do happen. The first major casualties occurred when, despite every precaution, fire broke out on the Apollo 5 capsule on January 27, 1967. In spite of every effort to save them, three men died in this terrible accident.
The programme continued without pause, however, and there were no more serious injuries until 1981. Then, the engines having been successfully tested on an earlier occasion, a rehearsal for the actual launching was held. Not knowing that an engine chamber was full of nitrogen gas, used to clean the motor, six technicians entered for routine work after the ’final rehearsal had been declared successful. They collapsed as soon as the gas entered their lungs. One man died and the others were very ill.
Though everyone involved was shocked and grieved by this apparently unnecessary accident, preparations continued for the actual launching later that year. However hard we try, accidents are bound to happen whenever a new and challenging project is undertaken. It seems to be the price of progress.
选项
A、A space programme was suspended.
B、Five men were injured during an accident.
C、An accident occurred before a rehearsal.
D、No accident happened that year.
答案
B
解析
本题测试对重要信息的理解和推测能力。根据对相关信息的理解,如“a rehearsal for the actual launching was held”,“six technicians entered”,“One man died and the others were very ill”等,可推测6个人中,除1人死亡,另外5人严重受伤,因此正确答案为B。
