Do you have fantasies of being a fighter pilot? What about a race car driver, an astronaut or a spy? If any of these sound appealing, there are adventures out there just for you.
Daniel Nishimoto always wanted to pilot a fighter jet, so he contacted the American company Incredible Adventures, which offers customers the chance to tweak the controls of a real MiG. So far Nishimoto has traveled to Russia three times to get airborne. "Most boys dream of being jet pilots," says Nishimoto. The standard package including three flights, four nights at the Intourist Hotel, breakfasts and all ground transportation costs $ 17 000.
The opportunity to fly a MiG is possible because Russia is starved for cash, and local aviation laws permit guest pilots to fly military aircraft. The flying takes place at the Gromov Flight Institute at the Zhukovsky Air Base near Moscow. Gromov, Incredible Adventures’ local partner, is normally a test facility for Russian-made fighter jets.
Before heading for the skies, guest pilots undergo a security check, a pre-flight medical exam and training. After takeoff, a Russian pilot guides the jet through a series of tricks. Then it’s the rookie’s turn to try. "I was surprised by how easy it was to fly, considering I’d never flown a jet before," says Nishimoto.
Those who would rather float than fly, should head to the Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Centre in Star City, near Moscow. Alongside genuine cosmonauts, customers of Zegrahrn Space Voyages can try on a space suit, experience weightlessness and even simulate docking a spacecraft. All you need is $ 14 950 to reserve a week at the space camp. The deal includes hotel accommodation in Moscow, most meals and a personalized flight suit that you can keep as a souvenir.
If you fantasize of becoming James Bond, Incredible Adventures, "covert operations" camp lets dreamers live the life of an international man(or woman)of mystery. During the course of 72 hours, former special-forces personnel will teach you about evasive driving skills, combat pistol techniques, hostage rescue and self-defense(the cost is $ 3 750). Target shooting involves real 9-mm handguns, though during role-play participants rely on paint balls.
Car lovers can try rally racing in the hills of Wales. Several high-performance driving academies give drivers the chance to speed along a closed course. For $ 400, the Phil Price Rally School teaches drivers the art of guiding a Cosworth rally car. The price includes a cozy bed and breakfast.
How much money should a customer pay if he or she wants to spend a week at the space camp in Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Centre?
选项
A、$ 17 000.
B、$ 14 590.
C、$ 14 950.
D、$ 12 390.
答案
C
解析
本题是一道细节题。问题问如果一个人想在加加林宇航员培训中心的太空营地住上一周,他(她)所需的费用是多少。利用查阅式阅读法,我们可以在文章的第五段中找到与答案相关的内容。这段指出,那些喜欢飘而不是飞的旅客应该前往莫斯科附近斯塔城的加加林宇航员培训中心。泽格拉恩太空旅行公司的顾客们可以与真正的宇航员一道,试穿太空服,体验失重的滋味,甚至还可以模拟太空飞行器在外层空间对接。你只需花费14 950美元,就可以在该太空营地预订一周,费用还包括在莫斯科住宾馆,大部分用餐,并获赠一件标有个人姓名的飞行服作为纪念。因此,本题的正确答案应是C,14 950美元。
