Passage　 3　

An unmanned Chinese space capsule returned safely to Earth on Sunday, media said, laying the groundwork for China to attempt later this year to send an astronaut into space. A successful manned flight would make China only the third country, after Russia and the United States, able to send its own astronauts into space.

　 The Shenzhou IV capsule landed as planned just after 7:00 p.m. on China’s northern grasslands in the Inner Mongolia region. Chinese officials said that the next launch would be manned.

　 Shenzhou IV blasted into space Dec. 30 from a base in the Gobi desert. It orbited the earth 108 times and performed hundreds of maneuvers (机动运用), including unfolding its solar panels. Instruments functioned normally and collected a large amount of test data. The re-entry vehicle and its contents will be sent to Beijing for analysis. The flight was the second in less than 10 months for a Chinese space capsule -- the shortest period to date between launches and a possible sign of growing official confidence in the program. 　　　

　 A corps of about a dozen astronauts picked from among fighter pilots in China’s air force have been training for years to take the first trip into space. At least two were sent to Russia’s cosmonaut school, called “taikonauts” after the Chinese word for space, they used the　　　　　 Shenzhou IV capsule for training.

　　 The Shenzhou IV, whose name means “Sacred Vessel,” carried the necessary equipment for a manned flight, and the mission tested life-support and other systems. Xinhua said the capsule was “identical to manned spaceships except there were no men aboard.”

3.　　　 Which is NOT true about “the Shenzhou IV” according to this report?

A. It’s Chinese fourth unmanned spacecraft launched into space.

B. It is likely to be a final test before launching a manned craft.

C. It was successfully launched early Monday morning.

D. It did not boast a system needed for manned flight.

2.　　　 Which nations succeeded in carrying people into space?

C. the　 former Soviet Union and the United States　 D. Russia

1.　　　 In ________ China started its manned flight program.
