问题 The space shuttle Discovery completed a ______ mission upon its return to Kennedy Space Centre. [br]  
The space shuttle Discovery made a rare night landing at the Kennedy Space Centre early on Thursday. The night landing, the 11th in the centre’s 94 shuttle missions, ended a 10-day mission to outfit the orbiting International Space Station.
    Although the spacecraft created a sonic boom that could be heard along much of Florida’s eastern seaboard, witnesses on the ground could not see the orbiter until it was directly over the runway lights.
    Scattered showers off the Florida coast had threatened to postpone the shuttle’s return, but forecasters gave the green light when they decided no rain would fall within 48 kilometres of the space centre.
选项 A、it produced a lot of noise
B、there were scattered showers
C、people could see it high in the sky
D、people could neither see nor hear it
答案 A
解析 本题测试有关细节内容的理解能力。对文中第二段中的关键词“a sonic boom”(飞机突破音速障碍时，由震波所发出的爆炸声)的理解是解题的关键，但如果听不懂该词的意思，只要抓住该句后半部分中的“that could be heard along much of Florida’s eastern seaboard”，也能通过推测，找到正确答案A。
