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、Accidents are unavoidable.
B、Accidents can be avoided.
C、Human beings are always careless.
D、There should be more precautions.
答案
A
解析
本题测试对隐含信息的推测理解能力。根据原文的最后一段,特别是最后两句“accidents are bound to happen” (事故必定会发生),“It seems to be the price of progress”(这是进步的代价),可以推测事故是不可避免的。正确答案为A。
