    humans get to Mars? – Listening Test

    B1 Listening Test
    Watch a video about Mars. For
    questions 1 to 7, choose the correct
    answer.

    For more videos like this, go to The Economist

    You have completed this test.


    Correct answers: 6/6.

    Check your answers:

    1 Before landing on the Moon,

    humans ...

    a. tried to go to Mars.

    b. saw Mars as the next

    destination.

    c. thought going to Mars was


    impossible.

    Transcription
    Even before humans set foot on
    the moon, it was seen as the next
    step but why?

    2 What is similar between the

    Earth and Mars?

    a. Their seasons.

    b. Their air.

    c. Their surface.

    Transcription
    There are similarities between
    Mars and Earth. It has a 24-hour
    day and four seasons. Though its
    air is too thin to breathe, and its
    surface too cold for unsheltered
    life...

    3 Humans have sent more space

    probes to Mars than to any other

    planet because ...

    a. we are convinced we will find


    life.

    b. it's easier to go today.

    c. the presence of life is a

    possibility.

    Transcription
    The possibility that Mars once had
    life or might just possibly still have
    it today is one of the reasons more
    space probes have been sent
    there than to any other planet.

    4 Elon Musk ...

    a. is working with NASA to send


    people to Mars.

    b. will send humans to Mars


    within the next two decades.

    c. wants to send humans to

    Mars in 2024.

    Transcription
    NASA talks of sending humans to
    Mars on a new spacecraft within
    the next two decades. Elon
    Musk's space technology
    company SpaceX has plans as
    early as 2024.

    5 The journey to Mars ...

    a. can only be made once


    every nine months.

    b. takes 26 months.

    c. can only be made when

    the planets are aligned.

    Transcription
    Such missions with crews would
    be among the biggest technical
    challenges humans have ever
    undertaken. The journey can only
    be made when the planets are
    properly aligned. That only occurs
    roughly every 26 months, but even
    then, it takes around nine months
    to travel from one planet to the
    other.

    6 According to the video...

    a. At present, taking humans to


    Mars is too expensive.

    b. It's not possible to find life on


    Mars.

    c. Some people will

    probably die trying to get to

    Mars.

    Transcription
    The challenge of a life-support
    system that can operate for years
    without resupply is daunting. The
    cost will be high and the hurdles
    immense. But the challenge is so
    exciting, it seems certain that
    some will try it, and quite likely
    that some will die trying.
