【解析】

【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要围绕SpaceX公司的星舰火箭首次试飞爆炸事件进行了报道，介绍

了事件的经过、背景、相关人物的表态以及专家的评论。

【12题详解】

细节理解题。根据文章第一段“OnApril20,SpaceX?sStarship,thelargestandmostpowerfulrocketever,

explodedduringitsfirsttestflightonlyminutesafterittookofffromTexas,US.（4月20日，美国太空探索技术

公司（SpaceX）有史以来最大、最强大的火箭“星舰飞船”（Starship）在首次试飞中从美国德克萨斯州起飞仅几

分钟就发生爆炸。）”可知，星舰火箭起飞后几分钟在空中爆炸了。故选C。

【13题详解】

主旨大意题。根据文章第四段"BackinSeptember2017,Muskcameupwiththeideaofdevelopingarocketthat

wouldbeabletosendastronautstoMars,buildabaseonthemoon,andallowmercialtraveltoanywhereonEarth

inunderanhour,accordingtoTheGuardian（卫报）.（据《卫报》报道，早在2017年9月，马斯克就提出了开

发一种火箭的想法，这种火箭能够将宇航员送上火星，在月球上建立基地，并允许商业旅行在一小时内到达

地球上的任何地方。）"和第五段“ThemostimportantaspectinMusk'sview,however,wouldbetherockefs

abilitytobereusedformultipleflights.Thiswouldallowformassivesavingsasitwouldreducethenumberof

spacecraftthatwouldotherwisesimplycrash.Also,therocketreliesonlowcostfuel,methane（甲烷），makingthe

costofspaceflightdropdramatically.,在马斯克看来，最重要的方面是火箭能够在多次飞行中重复使用。

这将节省大量资金，因为它将减少航天器的数量，否则它们将会坠毁。止匕外，火箭依靠低成本燃料甲烷，使

太空飞行成本大幅下降。）”可知，文章第四段和第五段讲述的是马斯克关于星舰火箭的一些构想和期望。

故选D。

【14题详解】

推理判断题。根据文章第六段“TheresultsofStarship'sfirstlauncharenottoofarofffromwhatMuskand

SpaceX?sengineershadpredicted.（星舰火箭首次发射的结果与马斯克和SpaceX工程师的预测相差不远。）”

可知，星舰火箭的发射结果和参与此次发射的人们所预测的相差不远。故选C。

【15题详解】

主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“Eventhoughthetwostagerocketshipmadeitlessthanhalfwaytotheedgeof

space,climbingtojustunder25miles,theflightachieveditsprimaryobjectiveofgettingthenewvehicleoffthe

grounddespitesomeofitsenginesfailingatliftoff.TheplanwasforStarshiptosoarintospaceatleast90miles

aboveEarth.（尽管这艘两级火箭飞船距离太空边缘还不到一半，爬升到不到25英里的高度，但尽管它的一些

引擎在升空时出现了故障，但这次飞行还是实现了让这艘新飞船离开地面的主要目标。计划是让星际飞船

飞到离地球至少90英里的太空。）"、第三段"SpaceXCEOElonMuskcongratulatedteammemberson"an

excitingtestlaunch“inapostlaunchtweetandsaidthey“learnedalotforthenexttestlaunchinafew

months.”（SpaceX公司首席执行官埃隆・马斯克在发射后的一条推文中祝贺团队成员完成了“一次激动人心

的测试发射”，并表示他们“为几个月后的下一次测试发射学到了很多东西“。）”再结合全文内容可知，

文章主要报道了SpaceX的星舰火箭在首次试飞中爆炸的事件，尽管火箭在升空后不久就发生了爆炸，但这

次试飞还是实现了其初步的目标，即让火箭成功升空。马斯克和其他团队成员对这次试飞表示了乐观的态

度，认为他们从中学到了很多，这对于未来的试飞和火箭的改进至关重要。因此，尽管试飞以爆炸告终，但

它在某种程度上仍然是一个成功的尝试，因为它为SpaceX提供了宝贵的数据和经验。因此，选项A“ABig

SuccessfulFailure"（一次大获成功的失败）”能够准确地概括文章的主要内容。故选A。
