India launched its helicopter taxi service on Monday, promising to ferry customers the 40 miles between Bangalore’s Electronic City tech hub and the international airport terminal in 15 minutes. Customers can book their helicopter ride through a mobile app.
The service, which claims to be the first of its kind in India, offers only one route but Bangalore airport will add more once it gets approval
.
Helicopter taxi is not an affordable option for many travelers. A car ride for the same journey costs less than half as much
.
But Bangalore airport says it is a competitive alternative to a car ride for tech executives in a hurry. "A large number of high-class travelers, including CEOs, have to spend more than three hours by road to get there—and that is a loss
of time," a Bangalore airport spokesperson said. "This is not a low cost option, but it is an option," she added.
The helicopters ferried around 8 customers to the airport on their first day. The company that owns and operates the service is called Thumby Aviation. It previously specialized in private charter flights for government officials.
5. What is Bangalore airport trying to do about the helicopter taxi service?
6. What do we learn from the news report about the helicopter taxi ride?
7. Who are the targeted customers of the helicopter taxi service?
选项
A、It costs more than twice as much as a car ride.
B、It is gaining popularity among ordinary Indians.
C、It symbolizes India’s advancement in high-tech.
D、It can get anywhere in the city within 15 minutes.
答案
A
解析
新闻中提到,对于许多旅行者来说,直升机出租车不是一个负担得起的选择。同样的旅程,乘坐汽车的费用还不到(直升机出租车费用的)一半。由此可以推断,直升机出租车费用是普通出租汽车费用的两倍多,选项A的说法与新闻内容一致,故为正确答案。选项B和C新闻并未提及,可排除。新闻开头提到,直升机出租车服务承诺为客户提供班加罗尔电子城科技中心和国际机场之间40英里历时15分钟的摆渡服务,并非可到达市里的任何地方,故排除选项D。
