【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】[解析] We interrupt this program to bring you a special news bulletin. The three astronauts have splashed down safely in the Pacific Ocean, 145 miles southwest of Hawaii, only six miles from the aircraft carrier that was dispatched for the recovery mission. The space capsule floated down on three parachutes and landed right-side-up in the water. Mission Control in Houston, which is in constant communication with the astronauts, confirmed that the parachutes and landing systems had functioned properly. Mission Control has advised the astronauts to remain inside the capsule until they are lifted aboard the aircraft carrier. An Air Force helicopter is already hovering above the capsule and seven divers are in the process of attaching lines to the spacecraft. The astronauts have returned after fifteen days in space. Possibly one of the most important accomplishments of this mission was the extensive photographing of the sun's surface. After two days of physical examinations and observation, the astronauts will fly to Houston where they will be reunited with their families. They plan to return to Mission Control on Thursday to hold a news conference. Ladies and gentlemen, we have confirmation that the astronauts are now aboard the aircraft carrier. They seem to be in very good condition as they prepare for the welcoming ceremonies. For more about the splash-down, watch the seven o'clock news report on Channel 12,NBC.

【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】独白在整体说明了宇航员降落情况之后，独白又介绍了任务控制中心的说法，以及对于空间舱的打捞和接回宇航员们的情况，然后介绍了一些必要的背景知识，最后才回到宇航员们身上来，其中有一句指出：…the astronauts will fly to Houston where they will be reunited with their families，说明他们是到Huston后才和家人汇合。听清了这一句就不难选出正确答案。

【正确答案】 D

【答案解析】本题虽然也是细节题，但由于其对应的信息出现并没有按照题目顺序来，所以不少考生出现了误选。其实，在介绍背景知识时，独白中有一句：The astronauts have returned after fifteen days in spac,因此本题答案就是[D]。
