根据下面资料,回答题
Humans may not have landed on Mars (火星 ) just yet, but that isn' t stopping a European company from devising a plan to send four people to the Red Planet within the next few years. This project, called Mars One, aims to send a small group of people to Mars in 2022 and eventually es-tablish a permanent colony on the planet.
"Everything we need to go to Mars exists," said Mars One co-founder Bas Lansdorp in March 2014. "We-have the rockets to send people to Mars, the equipment to land on Mars, the robots to prepare the settlement for humans. For a one-way mission, all the technology exists. " Yet the four astronauts ( 宇航员) chosen for the trip will be stuck on Mars--forever. And despite Mars One' s thorough planning, there are a number of challenges that may prevent the mission from ever taking place. The biggest road block could be the mission' s huge cost(S6 billion). However, Lansdorp is confident that Mars One will be able to fund the project by selling the broadcast fights for the mission and subsequent experiences living on the planet.
Those broadcast fights will also play a part in helping to select the people who will be sent to Mars. Lansdorp said the company will .hold a selection process similar to a reality show. Lansdorp is expecting at least 1 million applications from people around the world. In addition to the cost,
several other potential problems could inhibit ( 阻止) the mission to Mars."It' s even more challenging to send people there with life support, with food, with air, with all the other things like books, entertainment, means of communication and means of providing for their own resources for a long stay on Mars," said Adam Baker, senior lecturer in space engineer-ing at Kingston University in London. "The sheer size of the rockets you' d need to do this would be absolutely colossal. "
 According to Project Mars One, humans could send four people to Mars within the next____________ years.

A.seven
B.eight
C.ten
D.six

参考答案

B

答案解析

【内容概要】
本文介绍了单程火星之旅。第一段提到“火星一号”项目,预计在2022年要送一小批人上火星。第二至四段谈到项目的准备情况。
【参考译文】
人类可能至今还未登上过火星,但是这无碍于欧洲一个公司计划在接下来几年内计划送四个人上这颗红色星球的计划。这个项目被称为“火星一号”,目标是在2022年把一小批人送上火星,并最终在这个星球上建立一个永久殖民地。
“火星一号”的创始人之一巴斯•兰斯卓普在2014年3月说:“我们去火星所需要的一切东西都已准备齐全。我们有送人上火星的火箭,登录器以及为人类准备定居地的机器人。对于一个单向旅程,所有的技术都完备了。”现在被选中的四名宇航员将永远待在火星。虽然“火星一号”计划周密,但仍有很多变故阻碍这个计划实施。这项计划最大的障碍在于其昂贵的费用(60亿美元)。然而,兰斯卓普相信通过售卖这个项目的转播权以及住在这颗行星上的经历,可以赞助“火星一号”这个项目。
转播权的赞助还包括帮助挑选送往火星上的人。兰斯卓普说公司会举行一个类似于真人秀的选拔过程。兰斯卓普希望最少有来自全球一百万份申请。除了成本问题,还有很多其他潜在问题阻碍去往火星项目的进展。
“送人们上火星还有很多挑战,比如生命补给、食物、空气,还有很多其他的像书、娱乐设施、沟通方式以及提供长期停留火星上的资源。”伦敦金斯顿大学航天工程高级讲师亚当•贝克说道,“火箭的规模必须非常大。”
【精解精析】
【定位】由题干关键词Project Mars One,send four people to Mars,定位到原文第一段最后一句“This project,caned Mars One;ainas to send a small group of people to Mars in 2022 and eventually establish a permanent colony on the planet.”。
【答案详解】细节题。题干问的是根据火星一号项目,人们会在接下来的几年内送四个人上火星。根据定位句可知,火星一号计划在2022年送一批人上火星。今年是2014年,故还有8年时间,B选项符合题意。故选B。
