阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Imagine flying from Tokyo to Paris,enjoying first-class travel,a four-course dinner and a city tour—all without leaving the ground.This is the future of air travel according to Japanese company First Airlines,which has used the power of virtual reality to create dream vacations.
Passengers avoid the costly airport transfer,the baggage fees or busy airport terminal(航站楼)—and instead enjoy the privileges of business or first-class travel and an expensive tour of Paris—all while remaining motionless in Tokyo.As well as Paris,First Airlines also offers the virtual destinations of New York,Rome and Hawaii.
After boarding,guests can settle down for the two-hour flight on their advanced Airbus seat-surrounded by decoration that is modeled on the inside of an aircraft,for maximum realism.There is flight service and VR,foods,music for every destination.Passengers will be served a delicious meal by air stewards,alongside drinks and other desserts.The menu depends on the destination of choice—Manhattan clam chowder(蛤蜊杂烩汤) and cheesecake for New York and salmon and onion soup for Paris.After landing at the destination,guests can enjoy a 360-degree tour of the destination—all thanks to projection(投影) mapping and video.
It makes for a supposedly stress-free vacation,perfect for those whose ability to travel abroad is limited by cost or health.Virtual reality is becoming increasingly present everywhere at all times in the world of travel—allowing travellers to appreciate the wonders of the world,all without leaving their houses.
At just 4,980 yen($46) for business class and 5,980 yen($56) for first class—these two-hour flights are far more affordable than their real-life flights.
