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、Deliver scientific equipment to the moon.
B、Approve a new mission to travel into outer space.
C、Work with federal agencies on space programs.
D、Launch a manned spacecraft to Mars.
答案 A
解析 浏览四个选项，从选项中的deliver scientific equipment，approve a new mission，work with federal agencies，launch a manned spacecraft等动词词组可推测，此题与计划要做的事情有关。题干问的是月球捷运公司的计划是什么。新闻中间部分提到，月球捷运计划让一个手提箱大小的科学设备在月球着陆，以便对商业开发进行持续探索，故答案为A。B项(批准外太空探索的新任务)是美国政府的权力，公司并不具有这样的权力，故排除。C项(与联邦机构就太空计划进行合作)在新闻中未提及，故排除。新闻最后提到，艾隆-马斯克的Space X的目标是到2018年将无人驾驶的宇宙飞船送往火星，D项(发射载人飞船到火星)与新闻内容不符，故排除。
