Question

What will the future be like? It’s possible that we may often fly up into space! Out of all the coolest inventions of the year, Time chose Spaceship One as the best.

Spaceship One is a 6-meter-long white spaceship. On June 21, American pilot Mike Melvill flew it to space and back－about 100 kilometers up into the sky. 1.Some might say it’s not a big deal. You know, people went to the moon years ago.

Well, Spaceship One is special because 2. it is the first spaceship that wasn’t made by the government. It was built and launched (發(fā)射) by a private US company. Lots of people want to travel in space. But it’s too expensive. American millionaire Dennis Tito paid almost US $ 20 million to become the first space tourist to visit the International Space Station in 2001. So private companies began to think of making their own spaceship to take other tourist up into space.

3.飛船一號的成功是一個(gè)好的開端。In the next 10 to 15 years, if you pay $ 20,000 to $ 100,000, you could fly high above the earth.

What about having your own spaceship in your garage and taking it to space at the weekend?

【解析】

試題分析：未來會是什么樣子的？那時(shí)我們可能經(jīng)常飛到太空！宇宙飛船是6米長的白色的飛船。很多人想去太空旅行。但是它太貴了。因此私人公司開始考慮制作自己的宇宙飛船到太空去旅游。這種想法也許在未來會實(shí)現(xiàn)。

1.Some might say it’s not a big deal. You know, people went to the moon years ago.分析：a big deal一個(gè)大事；go to the moon去月球。故填：有些人也許會說這沒什么了不起的。（有些人可能會說這不是件了不起的事）

2.it is the first spaceship that wasn’t made by the government. 分析：原句以定語從句的形式對spaceship進(jìn)行修飾，因此可以用被動語態(tài)將其改為簡單句的形式。故填：It’s the first spaceship made by a private US company. (The spaceship was made by a private US company for the first time.)

4.未來會是什么樣子的？那時(shí)我們可能經(jīng)常飛到太空！故填：It’s possible that we may often fly up into space!
