问题    Apollo Program, is an American manned lunar-space program which is designed to land an astronaut on the moon and return him safely to earth, as well as to overtake the former Soviet Union in the race to dominate (统治；支配；控制) space exploration. The whole program was conducted between May 1961 and December 1972 by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), and the program successfully landed Nell Armstrong--the first person to walk on the moon--and 11 other astronauts on the moon. The program included 12 manned missions: 2 into earth orbit (Apollo 7 and 9); 2 into lunar orbit (Apollo 8 and 10); 3 lunar landing missions (Apollo 11, 12, and 14); and 3 lunar exploration missions (Apollo 15, 16, and 17), which involved extended stays on the moon’s surface and more in depth scientific exploration.
   The Apollo Program was started by United States President John F. Kennedy on May 25,1961 . At the time of Apollo preparations in 1965. NASA employed 36.000 civil servants, 376,700 contractor employees, and a yearly operating budget (预算) of $5.2 billion. Between 1961 and 1973, NASA spent approximately $25.4 billion on the Apollo missions.
   During the same period, the Soviet Union scheduled a manned mission to circle the moon--just three weeks before Apollo 8. This mission was postponed (延期) and the spacecraft was later launched unmanned. The Soviets continued to develop and test their one-man Lunar Lander spacecraft in the earth’s orbit through August 1971, but the Soviets never reached the moon.
选项 A、American Manned Lunar-space Program
B、NASA’s Space Program
C、Apollo Program
D、Space Competition between U.S. and Soviet Union
答案 C
解析 这里容易选错的是A项。有的考生一看A就打勾了，没有继续往下看，这是一种不好的习惯，应学会克制。A项和D项比较，不难看出，作为文章的标题，A项有冗长之嫌，不如C项干净利落，故选C项。同时，A项在文章中是C项的解释，所以更应选C项。
