问题 Text 4 You might soon be able to sneak down to the cargo hold for a nap the next time you take an ultra-long fiight.That's the idea being fioated by plane manufacturer Airbus and seatmaker Zodiac Aerospace.The companies say they're working to develop"sleeping berths"that could be installed in the cargo holds of certain long-range Airbus aircraft.Airbus and Zodiac Aerospace say the cargo compartment modules would"offer new opportunities for additional services to passengers,improving their experience while enabling airlines to differentiate and add value for their commercial operations."The companies say they hope to offer the option to airlines for orders beginning in 2020.Initially,the sleeper modules would be offered on Airbus'A330 widebodies,either on new deliveries or with an option to retrofit existing aircraft.Decisions on how to market and sell such options are typically left up to airline customers.Airbus and Zodiac Aerospace did not detail any specific concepts,but it's likely passenger carriers would consider several options.One might include selling access for passengers sitting elsewhere on the plane,presumably letting them pay for several hours-or perhaps an entire flight's worth-of time in the sleepers.Some higher-end carriers might explore the idea as a possibility to add a lounge area,where one of the perks could be a nap.Airbus and Zodiac offered several concepts in mock-ups accompanying their press statement.One shows a standard lounge;others show options that include a conference room,a"kids and family zone"and even a"medical care zone."Absent additional details,the berths are unlikely to become an option for the entire duration of a flight.Safety rules require passengers to be buckled into seats during takeoff and landing,and it's not clear whether such an option would be available in a cargo area of sleeper berths.It also seems unlikely that a passenger would want to commit to a sleeper berth for flights of eight hours or more without a dedicated option for upright seating,or windows."These underfloor sleeping berths would be aimed more towards economy class market,and would be available for a lower price for a passenger than a premium class flatbed seat."Airbus and Zodiac Aerospace touted the ease of installation to carriers,saying modules would be"easily interchangeable with regular cargo containers during a typical turnaround if required.Moreover,the aircraft's cargo fioor and cargo loading system will not be affected at all,as the passenger module will sit directly on it."For now,Airbus and Zodiac Aerospace will test the market to gauge interest.38.Which of the following statement is right?A.Both the two companies don't have any detailed concepts.B.There are lounge areas in some higher-end carriers.C.Extra services may make the sleeping berth a better choice.D.The lounge area is simply for a nap.
选项 A.Both the two companies don't have any detailed concepts.
B.There are lounge areas in some higher-end carriers.
C.Extra services may make the sleeping berth a better choice.
D.The lounge area is simply for a nap.
答案 C
解析 事实细节题。原文第五段提到“空客和卓达航空公司在他们的新闻声明中提供了几个实物模型。一个是标准休息室；其他的包括会议室、‘孩子和家庭区’，甚至还有‘医疗区’。若缺少这些附加细节，卧铺不太可能成为整个飞行期间的一种选择”。说明有了这些附加服务，卧铺会是一个更好的选择，故C项为正确选项。【干扰排除】空客和卓达航空公司没有详细说明任何具体的概念，并非A项所述的没有任何详细的概念，属于偷换概念；原文提到一些更高端的航空公司可能会考虑增加休息区，B项时态不对；原文提到休息区的好处之一就是可以小睡一下，D项过于绝对。故均排除。
