【解析】這篇文章簡述了有名的太空電影“萬有引力”，簡單介紹了其與眾不同之處和精彩的情節(jié)，向讀者介紹了這樣一部令人動容的電影。

【1】句意：“地心引力”與眾不同，專注于人類的事件。前句說的是大多數(shù)太空電影都是恐怖電影，故事中總是有外星人，而地心引力卻是不同的，instead可以放在句子末尾表示轉(zhuǎn)折，表示“（相較而言）而不是”，選項A“仍然”，選項B“然而”，選項C“而不是，代替”，選項D“可能”，故選C。

【2】句意：我們首先遇到在飛船外太空行走時的人物。后文提到的“Dr Stone”是一個電影中的人物，這里是在描述第一個出場的電影角色。選項A“人物”，選項B“導(dǎo)演，主任”，選項C“演員”，選項D“粉絲”，故選A。

【3】句意：宇航員很快就被警告說，一顆損壞的衛(wèi)星的碎片正朝著它們的方向飛來。有碎片飛過來說明有危險，這些宇航員是被“警告”的，“be warned”指“被警告”，選項A“同意”，選項B“警告”，選項C“展示”，選項D“打電話”，故選B。

【4】句意：快速移動的相機和失去與地球的接觸使一切變得更加可怕，“l(fā)ose contact with”指“失去與…的聯(lián)系”，這里是說飛船被擊中，斯通博士被撞進了太空，所以是“失去了聯(lián)系”，選項A“能量，精力”，選項B“耐心”，選項C“視力”，選項D“接觸”，故選D。

【5】句意：幸運的是，科瓦爾斯基救了斯通博士。斯通博士被救了，這是幸運的事情。選項A“最后”，選項B“最終”，選項C“幸運的是”，選項D“立刻”，故選C。

【6】句意：“萬有引力”一部關(guān)于一個女人在孤獨的地方旅行的具有強大力量的影片。這個故事的背景在太空中，而且斯通博士孤立無援，在選用描述這個地方的形容詞的時候，可以用“lonely”，來映襯前文的“斯通博士在最后已經(jīng)是一個人了”，選項A“黑暗的”，選項B“孤獨的”，選項C“可怕的”，選項D“空的”，故選B。
