Kingda Ka, the tallest rller caster （过山车） n Earth, drps its passengers a life-flashing 418 feet. Ferrari Wrld's Frmula Rssa, the fastest, takes riders' breath away at speeds f up t150 mph. BRC Imaginatin Arts, a Suthern Califrnia design firm, has prpsed smething entirely new: a ride that creates the sensatin f zer gravity fr up t eight secnds at a time.
BRC drew its cncept frm the "Vmit Cmet," the plane NASA uses t train astrnauts. Its prpsed theme-park ride wuld travel up and then back, similar t the existing "Superman: Escape frm Kryptn" caster at Six Flags Magic Muntain in Califrnia. But unlike Superman and ther pen-car casters, the vmit-cmet ride wuld be fully enclsed. Riders wuld enjy the illusin f flating within a stable chamber.
T create that illusin, a special mtr system wuld speed casters up the track with great precisin（精确度）. As the caster apprached a tp speed f mre than 100 mph, it wuld suddenly and ever s slightly slw dwn—just enugh t thrw the passengers up frm their seats and then quickly adjust its speed t fly in frmatin with and arund the passengers. As the caster reached the tp f the track and began t drp back dwn, the cmputer system wuld cntinue t match its speed t that f the falling passengers, extending the sensatin f weightlessness fr several additinal secnds, and finally rapidly slw dwn t a stp back at the base statin.
Rller casters typically cst n mre than $30 millin, but the zer-gravity ride wuld cst $50 millin r mre, t a large extent because the precisin-respnse prpulsin system（推进系统） is s cmplex. But if smene were t write a check tday, Rgers says, his cmpany culd be sending riders n weightless jurneys by the end f 2014.
1. What makes BRC's caster different?
A. It's the tallest rller caster in the States.
B. It's the fastest rller caster n Earth.
C. It can bring a sensatin f zer gravity t its riders.
D. It is a NASA prduct.
2. Why wuld peple in BRC's caster have an illusin f flating in the chamber?
A. Because it's designed with the inspiratin f Superman.
B. Because a special functining mtr system is applied t it.
C. Because the caster can apprach a tp speed f mre than 100 mph.
D. Because the caster wuld cst $20 millin mre than nrmal nes.
3. At what pint culd a rider begin t feel weightless?
A. When the caster reduced its speed immediately after it reached its tp speed.
B. When the caster began t increase its speed.
C. When the caster reduced its speed t a stp back at the base statin.
D. When the caster reached the tp f the track.
