W: What do you do for a living, Frank?
M: I am an aerospace engineer. I have been working for NASA for over fifteen years.
W: Wow, that sounds fascinating. What projects have you been involved in?
M: Well, until recently, I was heavily involved in the Cassini mission. I don’t know if you’re familiar with it or not. It’s one of NASA’s most expensive and ambitious projects. We are sending a probe to explore Saturn and its moons.
W: That sounds really interesting. Are you in any way involved in the construction of the international space station?
M: Actually, that’s what I’m working on now. I’m currently a technical liaison between NASA and several European space agencies. It’s an interesting job, but it can be a bit too much at times. The international space station is probably the largest international venture ever attempted, and I am constantly dealing with technical difficulties, budget problems, and delays. It’s not easy coordinating the efforts of all those countries. I have been to Europe three times in the last month, and I have to go to Kazakhstan next week.
W: And I understand there’s some controversy surrounding the space station. Don’t some people worry that NASA is spending too much money on the project?
M: Many experts have complained that the project has grown out of control and become far too expensive. But I look at it as more than a space station; I believe it’s helping to foster international scientific cooperation. It’s nice to see the scientists of the world working together to create a stepping-stone to the future.

选项 A、It plans to send a probe to explore the moon.
B、It’s NASA’s most expensive project so far.
C、It’s an ambitious project.
D、It’s involved in the construction of the American space station.

答案C

解析 What docs the man say about Cassini mission?
   信息明示题。男士说自己之前参与了卡西尼任务,那是美国国家航空和宇宙航行局最为昂贵和有野心的项目之一,他们打算发送探测器去探测土星及其卫星,故选C。选项B说这是迄今为止NASA最为昂贵的项目,与原文“最为昂贵的项目之一”在表述上不太一致。
