选项 A、following
B、another
C、the next
D、the past
答案C
解析 本句译文是：“在以后的15年内，人类到过月球，在它干燥飞扬的尘土下寻找生命的痕迹(月球上不存在生命)，人类还开始探索太阳系中更遥远的空间。”前面没有提示one fifteen years，不可能出现another fifteen years；the past fifteen years，即：过去15年(距现在)，而“现在”指的是哪一年，文章没有提及；following前面应加定冠词the，意思等于the next；the next fifteen years指的是从美国发射第一颗卫星后约15年。
