Another problem is the strain that a person is 6______ to when a rocket leaves the ground. Anything that is not moving 7______ to resist movement.

During this thrust, gravity 8______ a force on the body 9______ nine times its 10______ force. 11______ out of the earth's gravity, an astronaut is affected by another problem weightlessness.

A、reacted
B、accustomed
C、responde
D、suited
【正确答案】：B
【题目解析】：结合上下文可知，本段在列举失去重力后的各种情况.接下来说的是人体失重后的情况。根据句意，我们的身体，适应了地球引力后，在失重条件下会成倒立状态，React和respond不可以用于被动语态，故AC不正确。Be suited to意为适合；be accustomed to意为适应。这里后者更符合题意。答案为B。
