Module 5 综合检测
时间100分钟 满分120分
第一部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)
第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
Space tourism is a recent development and involves wealthy individuals or corporations spending up to $ 25 million for a chance to travel in a low Earth orbit(近地轨道)and beyond.Dennis Tito，a multi洀椀氀氀椀漀渀愀椀爀攀 in California，spent $ 20 million traveling into space making him the first paying space tourist in 2001.Following Dennis Tito as the second to visit outer space in 2002 was South African millionaire，Mark Shuttleworth.He spent around $ 20 million traveling aboard a Russian Soyuz TM34.It took him 8 days to complete the journey.
Despite these，space tourism has been criticized as being a“playground for the rich”．While there may be some current truth to this，the goal for the future is to make space tourism affordable and available to the middle class within just a few，short years.While N Sync singer Lance Bass may have fallen just short of cash and Madonna's request was rejected，many companies are working on making suborbital(亚轨道的)flights affordable to the general public.
Tired of Disneyland and Magic Mountain? Having been to all the major continents and want more？Done all of the extreme sports and are unable_to_get_the_adrenaline(肾上腺素)running_anymore? Space tourism may just be the next big thing on your agenda in the not too distant future.
If you've got the idea of traveling and have always dreamed of going beyond the limits of Earth，that possibility may exist sooner than you think.You'll have to wait a few years to book your flight，though，as all of the details are still being worked out.
