5.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 infomtation 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 tum 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 ananswer-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.

67.Why is virtual tourism more and more popular?B
A.Online games are more and more attractive.
B.Many new websites appear and develop fast.
C.More and more people want to travel abroad.
D.It helps travelers save as much money as possible.
68.From the second paragraph we knowD
A.we can solve any problem on websites
B.websites offer all the tips and information
C.we can get all our questions answered online
D.we can get many tips about tourism on websites
69.What does the underlined word"sprung up"most probably mean?A
A.Appeared.  B.Moved.  C.Competed.  D.Reduced.
70.What makes us see the world in a panoramic way?C
A.Information.  B.Photograph.  C.Technology.  D.Virtual images.

19.One of the latest trends(趨勢) in American Childcare is Chinese au pairs.Au Pair in Stamford,Conn,for example,has got increasing numbers of request for Chinese au pairs from aero to around 4,000since 2004.And that's true all across the country.
"I thought it would be useful for him to learn Chinese at an early age"Joseph Stocke,the managing director of a company,says of his 2-year old son."I would at least like to give him the chance to use the language in the future,"After only six months of being cared by 25-year-old woman from China,the boy can already understand basic Chinese daily expressions,his dad says.
Li Drake,a Chinese native raising two children in Minnesota with an American husband,had another reason for looking for an au pair from China.She didn't want her children to miss out on their roots."Because I am Chinese,my husband and I wanted the children to keep exposed to(接觸) the language and culture."she says.
"Staying with a native speaker is better for children than simply sitting in a classroom,"says Suzanne Flynn,a professor in language education of Children."But parents must understand that just one year with au pair is unlikely to produce wonders.Complete mastery demands continued learning until the age of 10or 12."
The popularity if au pairs from China has been strengthened by the increasing numbers of American parents who want their children who want their children to learn Chinese.It is expected that American demand for au pairs will continue to rise in the next few years.

29.What does the term"au pair"in the text mean?D.
A.A mother raising her children on her own
B.A child learning a foreign language at home
C.A professor in language education of children
D.A young foreign woman taking care of children.
30. Li Drake has her children study Chinese because she wants themD.
A.to live in China some day      
 B.to speak the language at home
C.to catch up with other children 
D.to learn about the Chinese culture
31.What can we infer from the text?A.

10.My wife and I used to feel that it was impossible to be a true friend to someone whose name we didn't know.How wrong we were!Years of Sunday-morning bus trips through the city with the same group of"nameless"people have changed our thinking.?
  Before the bus takes off,we all join in a conversation:where's the silent woman who sits up front and never responds to our cheery greetings?Here she comes.Her worn clothing suggests she doesn't have much money to spare,but she always takes an extra cup of coffee for the driver.?
  We get smiles from a Mexican couple as they get on the bus hand in hand.When they get off,they're still holding hands.The woman was pregnant late last year,and one day her change of shape confirmed that she'd delivered the child.We even felt a little pride at the thought of our extended family.?
  For many months,our only sadness lay in our inability to establish  the same friendship with the silent woman at the front of the bus.Then,one evening,we went to a fish restaurant.We were shown to a table alongside someone sitting alone.It was the woman from the bus.?
  We greeted her with friendly familiarity we'd shown all year,but this time her face softened,then a shy smile.When she spoke,the words escaped awkwardly from her lips.All at once we realized why she hadn't spoken to us before.Talking was hard for her.?
  Over dinner,we learned the stay of a single mother with a disabled son who was receiving special care away from home.She missed him desperately,she explained.?
"I love him…and he loves me,even though he doesn't express it very well,"she murmured."Lots of us have that problem,don't we?We don't say what we want to say,what we should be saying.And that's not good enough."?
  The candles flared on our tables.Our fish had never tasted better.But the atmosphere grew pleasant,and when we parted as friends-we shared names.
28.Which of the following might be the best title of this passage?A
A.Friends of the Road         
B.The Silent Woman on the Bus
C.Going to Work by Bus       
D.Different Kinds of Friendship

A.cold      B.warm-hearted       C.silent         D.poor
30.The underlined word"establish"in the fourth passage probably has the same meaning asC.
A.keep         B.discover        C.set up         D.a(chǎn)ccept
31.Why did the woman usually keep silence while taking the bus?C
A.She was worried about her disabled son.
B.She was sad to see the happy Mexican couple us a single mother.

The question above was an example of what scientists call Fermi problem,named

Fermi is said to have once asked his university students how many piano tuners(調(diào)音師)there were in Chicago.To answer the question,he recommended (40)B it down into smaller,more (41)B questions,and then having the (42)A to make some guesses and assumptions.How many people live in Chicago?Three million would be a reasonable estimate.How many people per family?Assume a/an (43)C of four.How many families own pianos?

Why was guesswork so accurate?The law of averages is partly (50)D.At any point,your assumptions may be too high or too low.But because of the law of averages,your mistakes,will frequently balance out.
