A supersonic airliner like Concorde flies at twice the speed of sound. A passenger can leave London at noon and arrive in New York at ten o’clock that same morning! There is a five-hour time difference between the two cities and Concorde can fly the Atlantic in only three hours. That evening the passenger will feel it is time to go to bed when it is only six o’clock. The evening will only just be beginning. Airline pilots suffer from this very much. It may be in the middle of the night in Hong Kong but their stomachs are still on London time, where it is dinner time. Pilots and other airline crew have to adjust to constant changes in time. That is why they often look fifty years old when they are only forty. This adjustment to sudden changes causes all sorts of problems.
Air travel is getting faster all the time. Engineers say that soon people will be "shot" to their destinations in huge rockets. These rockets will be shot high above the earth’s atmosphere and land on the other side of the earth forty-five minutes after take-off. They will be able to cross the Pacific Ocean in only eighteen minutes.
But, of course, passengers will face the same problems on the ground that they face at present. We shall still spend hours getting to the airport. Today, the shortest part of the journey and the least difficult is in the air. The worst and longest part is on the roads leading from the center of town to the airpo rt. The roads become more and more crowded while our planes become faster and faster.
In a plane like Concorde you can______.
选项
A、arrive in New York 5 hours earlier than the time you leave London
B、forget all about the time difference between cities
C、adjust to time changes without problems
D、get across the Atlantic in three hours
答案
D
解析
本题为细节题。读者需要从所给选项中找到乘坐Concorde这样的飞机会出现哪种情况。选项A.arrive in New York 5 hours earlier than the time you leave London与原文中提到的5个小时的时差明显不符;选项B.forget all about the time difference between cities的概念与飞机快慢无关,不同时区的时差永远存在;选项C.adjust to time changes without problems与B.项一样,到了时差较大的地区肯定需要调整时差;选项D。get across the Atlantic in three hours与文章中“fly the Atlantic in only three hours”完全一致,因此正确答案为D。
