Unfortunately,notquite.AfairnumberofAmericansthinkthatthiswholebusinessofmoonlandingsreallyisafairytale.Theybelievethatthelandingswereabighoax（骗局）stagedintheMojaveDesert,toconvinceeveryonethatU.S.technologywasthe“bestest”inthewholewideworld.

【答案与解析】美国当年的登月活动是否是一场精心策划的骗局?

针对一些人的质疑，美国航空航天局开始了一场行动，旨在确认事实。

作者对此不屑一顾，认为是小题大做，毫无必要。

1．A推理判断题。

第二段提到自从那几个人登月后，再也没有了下文；第三段则直言有人认为这是一场大骗局。

由此可推断一些美国人认为登月是捏造出来的。

2.B细节理解题。

根据第五段第二句中的内容可知应该把骗局的故事归咎于这个电视节目．

3．D正误判断题。

根据第五段中的“BuzzAldrin，thesecondmanonthenoon”可知D项内容正确。

4．B推理判断题。

倒数第二段的中间部分提到相信者认为航空航天局的这一行动与证明地球是圆的没有什么差别，是在浪费钱财，由此可推断他们认为这种做法愚蠢而且没有必要。

5．A推理判断题、最后一段的半部分提到美国航空航天局的这笔钱可以有更好的用途，让NeilArmstrong现身说法更有说服力，由此可推断美国航空航天局不应该为澄清怀疑者的言论而费尽周折。

6．C文章结构题。

本文的写作笔调在最后一段体现得最为明显，结合本段中的动词drag以及最后一句的内容可知本文风格“幽默”。
