Question

【題目】On 20th July 1969, millions of people saw Neil Armstrong take his first steps in space on television. Armstrong got out of the spacecraft Apollo 11, touched the ground of the moon and said, “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.”

A conspiracy(陰謀)theory has existed since the night of his lunar handing. Armstrong’s achievements were considered amazing, but people wondered if it really happened. Many people believe that the scene on the moon wasn’t real. Rumours spread throughout coffee shops, street comers, and newspapers, but it soon died down.

But theories resurfaced in 2001 Suspicion began when an American television network aired a program called Conspiracy Theory: Did We Land on the Moon? The show argued that NASA did not have the money for such a voyage, and that the whole scene was probably filmed in a movie studio. Many critics say that there were no stars in the background during the lunar landing, so it must have been a fake. They also point out that the American flag that was posted was waving. How could that be if there is no wind on the moon?

NASA(National Aeronautics and Space Administration)has denied these rumours many times. They explained that now photographers can capture the brightness of the astronauts with the dimness of the stars behind them. Also, they said that the flag was waving because the astronauts were pulling it back and forth trying to get it deeper into the rock. NASA also points out that the television program fails to mention that Armstrong and his team brought back 800 pounds of rock from the moon.

Nell Armstrong is seen as a national icon in the US and his lunar landing is one of the most historic events in the country’s history. But either way, this conspiracy theory still exists today.

細(xì)節(jié)理解題，在第三段中我們登上過廣寒宮嗎？這個節(jié)目中提到“ave the money for” “there were no stars in the background”“t the American flag”沒有提及D.rock。故選D.

【2】D

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。第四段提到美國國家航空和航天局多次否認(rèn)這些謠言。他們對此作了許多解釋�？赏茢喑鏊鼘χ{言作了解釋。故選D。

【3】B

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段中的“the flag was waving because the astronauts were pulling it back and forth trying to get it deeper into the rock.” 旗幟在飄揚，因為宇航員們正來回地拉著它，試圖把它深深地插入巖石中。由此可推斷出是宇航員的拉動。故選B。
