【答案解析】[听力原文] 23-24 The space shuttle Discovery made a real night landing at the Kennedy Space Center early on Thursday. The night landing, the 11th in the centre's 94 shuttle missions, [23] ended a 10-day mission to outfit the orbiting international space station. [24] Although the spacecraft created a solid boom that can be heard along much of Florida's eastern seaboard, witnesses on the ground could not see the orbiter until it was directly over the one-way lights. Scattered showers off the Florida coast had threatened to postpone the shuttle's return. But broadcasters gave a green light when they decided no rain will fall within 48 kilometres of the space centre. [考点] 本题的出题点在数字信息处。 [精析] 新闻第二句提到“这艘深夜着陆的飞船是肯尼迪中心94艘飞船中的第11艘，结束了为期10天的环绕国际空间站的飞行任务”，故选C。
