參考答案【正確答案：D】
細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)題干中的信號(hào)詞weightless定位到第六段首句：Each time the pilot cut the engines and we became weightless, a new team conducted its experiment(每一次飛行員關(guān)閉引擎，我們就會(huì)失重, 一個(gè)新的小組就會(huì)進(jìn)行試驗(yàn)）。文章接下來(lái)分別以荷蘭、德國(guó)和美國(guó)的選手為例對(duì)他們的實(shí)驗(yàn)進(jìn)行了簡(jiǎn)單介紹。飛行員關(guān)閉引擎讓他們變得失重，就是為了讓他們完成實(shí)驗(yàn)，也就是讓各個(gè)團(tuán)隊(duì)嘗試他們的想法。因此，D選項(xiàng)為正確答案。
