15．World travel has moved on to a new level as new websites spring up to enable travelers to plan their trips online．Virtual tourism is the latest name of the game and although relatively new，has seen some tourism websites grow to host over one-million users．
Typically，this development features a website that contains the answers to almost any tourism question．Tips and information are not provided by a single source，such as the website host，but rather from travelers themselves-often in the thousands．This has proven to be exceptionally beneficial for would-be travelers who are seeking information on questions such as where to find the best museum or beach； whether it is better to tour Brussels with a bicycle or on foot； and which exchange rate bureaus are available in Italy．Questions about food and restaurants； tourist spots； safety； accommodation； and others are all answered．In addition，posted tips promote better preparation，such as what to pack when heading for Sicily（西西里島）．
Apart from the useful tips，visual images and virtual tours have also been made available．If you'd like to visit the Eiffel Tower，it's a good idea to view the surrounding areas； to pick a safer train route； or to know that it's very close to the Seine River and that a walk along it would enhance the experience．
Virtual tours have sprung up globally．In South Africa，John Gore established the Virtual Tour Guide in November last year．On his blog，Gore was quoted a saying，"The world is panoramic（全景的）．"'We are able to turn our heads and look in all directions and get a feel for where we are，but the typical photograph cannot show or describe that experience completely．"However，there is answer-technology makes it possible to share the world around us in a 360degree panoramic way，which really makes the viewer feel as though he or she is really there．

解答 67--70 BDAC
67．B 推理判斷題．根據(jù)第一段World travel has moved on to a new level as new websites spring up to enable travelers to plan their trips online．（隨著新網(wǎng)站雨后春筍般地出現(xiàn)，世界旅游發(fā)展到了一個新水平，游客可以在線規(guī)劃他們的旅行）可知，虛擬旅行越來越受歡迎，是受益于新網(wǎng)站的快速發(fā)展．故選B．
68．D 推理判斷題．根據(jù)第二段Typically，this development features a website that contains the answers to almost any tourism question．（很明顯的，這種發(fā)展有著這樣的特色：在旅行中遇到的幾乎所有問題，在一個網(wǎng)站上都能找到答案）可知，在網(wǎng)站上我們能找到很多關于旅行的忠告．選項A、B、C沒有提到旅行．故選D．
69．A 詞義猜測題．根據(jù)第一段提到"some tourism websites grow to host over one-million users．"（虛擬旅行網(wǎng)站已發(fā)展了一百多萬用戶）、第二段提到"Sicily"、第三段提到"the Eiffel Tower、the Seine River"和第四段提到"In South Africa"可知，虛擬旅行已經(jīng)在全球好多地方出現(xiàn)，所以"Virtual tours have sprung up globally"中的"sprung up"應該"出現(xiàn)"的意思．故選A．
70．C 細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)最后一段there is an answer-technology makes it possible to share the world around us in a 360 degree panoramic way（有一種應答技術使得通過360度全景方式分享我們周圍的世界成為可能）可知，只有技術（Technology）才能讓我們以全景方式看世界．故選C．
點評 新聞一般采用"倒金字塔"式結構（即先說結果，再說重要事實，最后說次要內容），但有的通訊敘述方比較靈活多變，有順敘、倒敘、中間或許還會有插敘、補敘等敘述方法，這就要求我們在閱讀時特別關注．必須在十分有限的時間內運用略讀、掃讀、跳讀等技巧快速閱讀，搜尋關鍵詞、主題句，捕捉時空、順序、情節(jié)、人物、觀點，并且理清文章脈絡，把握語篇實質．
