What does the word "aborting"mean in the first paragraph? ( )

A.putting out

B.calling for

C.putting off

D.calling off

参考答案：D

参考解析：

含义题。根据aborting定位至第一段，"India successfully launched an unmanned spacecraft to the far side of the moon on Monday, a week after aborting the mission due to a technical problem."可知印度星期一成功发射了一艘无人驾驶宇宙飞船，但是一周前，由于技术故障，计划被XX。根据第五段The launch a week ago was called off less than an hour before liftoff due to a "technical snag".可以判断出，印度在一周前取消了计划，而且明确使用了call off, D项正确。A项熄灭，出版；B项要求，提倡；C项推迟，均不符合题意。故本题正确答案选D。
