【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】[听力原文] Last October, a NASA rocket, traveling at a speed of 9, 000 kilometers per hour, smashed into a deep, dark hole on the moon's south pole. Upon impact, the Centaur rocket kicked up a cloud of dust and elements from the moon's surface, creating a so-called 'ejecta-plume' that was monitored by NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, or LRO. Scientists analyzed the findings, and preliminary results from this mission suggested that there was some form of water on the moon. NASA lunar scientist Michael Wargo said those days that a wave of findings during the past year makes it certain. 'We've confirmed that there was indeed water ice in the ejecta-plume, and at an abundance that was about 50 percent greater than our initial estimates. ' That means that the impact site has more water than some deserts on Earth. According to the news report, what has happened last October? 新闻中指出，美国宇航局的一枚火箭以每小时9000公里的速度，撞上月球南极的一个黑暗陨石坑而粉碎。这与B项的“火箭撞月”意思相同。新闻中提到的是美国宇航局的火箭在月球上撞毁。故A项“成功发射火箭”错误。新闻只是提到火箭撞上黑暗陨石坑，而非C项“月球南极出现一个黑暗的深坑”，故排除C。D项“LRO有惊人的发现”都是火箭撞上月球的结果，与问题中的去年10月不相关，也排除。

【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】[听力原文] What did preliminary results from this mission suggest? 新闻中指出，科学家们根据各种结果和发现推断月球上有某种形式的水存在(there was some form of water on the moon)。A项将原文的there be结构换成了谓语动词existed，语义是一致的，A项为答案。新闻最后一句提到月球上受撞击的地方的水分比地球上的某些沙漠地区还多(more water than some deserts on Earth)，故B项“月球上的水和沙漠上的一样多”错误。C项“月球表面有许多火箭”和D项“大片地区受到火箭的影响”均没有在新闻中提到。
