Ⅱ.[2019·原创] 完形填空
When you’re 50, what kind of holiday will you want to take?
If you’re under 30 today, 11 you’ll be able to take a holiday in space!
A Japanese company, Shim izu, plans to open the first 12 in space within 15 years. They want to 13 3-day holidays in a space station, which will be bigger than the International Space Station. However, holidays in space will be very 14 ! About 90,000 dollars for three days! Shimizu believes that there are enough people who will be ready to pay the price. Other companies, in Japan and the US, want to open hotels on the moon! Trips to the moon will be 15 more expensive!
The Japanese company is quite serious, but they cannot start building 16 orbiting (轨道运行) hotel yet.
First they will have to buy a commercial(商业的) reusable shuttle(航天飞机). Today there are no shuttles. The old American shuttles, 17 Atlantis and Columbia, were very expensive to launch. They had to be launched into orbit(轨道) with a big rocket which cannot be reused. Tomorrow’s shuttles will 18 and land on their own. They will be much less expensive. Such shuttles do not yet exist(存在). The Americans are 19 on them, but they will not be ready for several years.
