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、International tourists.
B、High-class travelers.
C、Prominent superstars.
D、Customers in a hurry.

答案B

解析 新闻后半部分提到,对于赶时间的科技公司高管来说,这是一个有竞争力的替代方式,接着提到目前的一个事实:包括首席执行官在内的许多高级旅客必须花三个多小时的陆地交通时间才能到达机场,这是在浪费时间。由此可推断,高级旅客(科技公司高管、首席执行官等)非常适合直升机出租车服务。选项B的说法与新闻内容一致,故为正确答案。其余三项不符合新闻内容,可排除。
