根据短文内容，从题中所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个最佳选项。
Have you ever heard of the space balloon? A company is planning to use its new balloon, called Space Neptune to take people to the edge（边缘）of space. This is a new way to travel to space for fun.
Taking off from Kennedy Space Centre, the trip will take six hours: two hours travelling up, two hours staying and enjoying the view and two hours travelling back. Below the hydrogen-filled（充满氢气的）balloon, a spaceship is large enough for eight travellers to stand and walk freely. Inside the ship are comfortable seats, free Wi-Fi and even a party space.
Although the balloon won't really fly into space, this won't be a problem for the travellers. At 20 miles above Earth, they will experience 360° views of the planet Earth and stars, feeling just as if they were in space. Tickets are expensive, about 125,000 each.
Unlike rockets, Space Neptune doesn't give out carbon dioxide, which always results in higher temperatures on Earth. The spaceship will also get its hydrogen from something renewable. That means we can use it
again and again. This is why space travel with hydrogen balloons is thought to be the most environmentally friendly option so far.
The great news is that no special training is needed for this ride, but the bad news is that you will probably have to wait until next year because the first year's tickets are sold out already. Though the tickets are expensive and the wait is long, remember: Adventures like this make us realize how amazing our world can be. Keep dreaming big!
21. How does the writer start the text? （ ）
A. By asking a question.
B. By telling a story.

D. By listing numbers.
22. Which picture best shows the balloon's space travel? (hr＝hour, hrs＝hours) （ ）
23. What can people experience at 20 miles above Earth? （ ）
A. It will send people to space.
B. It is affordable for most people.
C. Guests will be seated during the trip.
D. Guests will enjoy the view from above.
24. What do we know about the trip? （ ）
A. It is eco-friendly.
B. It makes Earth hotter.
C. It is powered by rockets.
D. It uses energy from the sun.
