参考答案D
解析:
定位.根据题干中的the 2004 Commercial Space Launch Amendments Act定位到文章第五段第二句:The 2004 Commercial Space Launch Amendments Act,intended to encourage private spacevehicles and services,prohibits the transportation secretary(and thereby the FAA)from regulatingthe design or operation of private spacecraft,unless they have resulted in serious or fatal iaiury tocrew or passengers.
详解.推理判断题。定位句指出,2004版《商业太空发射修正案》旨在鼓励私人太空航天器和服务的发展,由此可知,2004版《商业太空发射修正案》是为了推动太空旅游业的发展,故答案为D)。
点睛.A)“为了确保太空旅行的安全”,第五段最后一句提到“虽然这可能会使“亚轨道”旅行更加安全,但也会增加这一新兴行业的成本和复杂性”,这只是表明2004版《商业太空发射修正案》带来的好处和坏处,而不是发布该修正案的目的,故排除;B)“为了限制联邦航空局的职能”,定位句提到“禁止交通部长(以及联邦航空局)管理私人航天器的设计或操作,除非它们对机组人员或乘客造成了严重或致命的伤害”,这只是2004版《商业太空发射修正案》的规定,而不是目的,故排除;C)“为了使私人太空探索合法化”,原文并未提及2004版《商业太空发射修正案》是否使私人太空探索合法化,故排除。
