问题     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.
Which of the following is true according to the passage?
选项 A、Incredible Adventures is an American company which offers customers all kinds of adventures in the world.
B、The reason why ordinary people can fly military planes is that Russia is in need of money and it is legal to do so there.
C、A customer doesn’t have any experienced pilot to guide him or her when he or she tries flying a fighter jet.
D、A customer needn’t undergo the security checks or pre-flight physical checks or disciplined training before the flight.
答案B
解析 问题问按照文章内容下面哪个选项是正确的。针对每个选项的内容，利用查阅式阅读法，结合原文相关内容，我们可以推断出答案B是本题的正确答案。因为文章指出，你是否幻想过当战斗机驾驶员?或者当赛车驾驶员、宇航员或间谍?如果您觉得上述角色很有吸引力，不妨亲身去体验一下。接着，作者分别介绍了几种冒险方式：丹尼尔·西本以前一直想体验一下驾驶喷气式战斗机的滋味。于是，他和美国神奇冒险公司取得了联系。该公司向顾客提供驾驶真正米格战斗机的机会。到目前为止，西本已经先后三次前往俄罗斯，体验在蓝天遨游的乐趣。西本说：“大多数男孩都梦想当喷气式飞机驾驶员。”该公司提供的标准旅游项目包括3张机票，在“旅游者之家”宾馆住4个晚上，早餐以及全部地面交通费，共计17000美元。旅客们之所以有机会驾驶米格飞机，是因为俄罗斯缺乏现金，而且当地的航空法允许游客驾驶军用飞机。驾机活动在莫斯科附近朱可夫斯基空军基地的格罗莫夫飞行研究所进行。作为神奇冒险公司在当地的合作伙伴，该研究所通常是俄制喷气式战斗机的测试场所。升空之前，客人们要接受安全检查，还要接受飞前体检及训练。飞机起飞后，一名俄罗斯驾驶员会驾驶着飞机做一连串特技表演。然后就轮到游客了。西本说：“我发现驾驶飞机非常容易，感到非常吃惊。我此前从未开过喷气式飞机。”由此，我们可以找出本题的正确答案B。
