Imagine being the only person in the Forbidden City. You could stay there all day without swarms of people crowding around. You'd be able to look at the ancient treasures without worrying about other visitors pushing you for a better view. Well, in two years time you'll be able to have such an experience, just like the former emperors used to. The only difference is that your Forbidden City fun will be online.
Thanks to new technology, a virtual tour of the Forbidden City will be available online by 2008. The project - jointly driven by the Palace Museum and computer company IBM - aims to help teenagers around the world become more interested in Chinese culture. The project will offer an interactive, three-dimensional view of the palace. The virtual tour will provide images from all over the 780,000-square-metre palace.
"The Palace Museum is a big book; there are always places you haven't read about," said Hu Chui from the museum. There are many rooms closed for protection. But the virtual platform breaks the boundaries of time and space, meaning visitors can see whatever they want. "The interaction and games content in the virtual tour will attract more young people to understand and love our cultural heritage," added Hu.
In the virtual tour, historical figures will actually talk to visitors and answer their questions. The stories behind the buildings and treasures will also be told. "The online environment, presented in both Chinese and English, enables visitors to experience the culture and stories of the museum," said James Yeh, an IBM official.
If you visit the Forbidden City now, which of the following won’t be the case you’ll have?
A. It is crowed with a lot of visitors. B. Visitors are pushing you for a better view.
C. You are the only person in it. D. You can see some ancient treasures in it.
Which of the following is not the advantage of the virtual tour of the Forbidden City?
A. Visitors can see whatever they want.
B. Visitor can ask and talk to historical figures.
C. Visitors can get to know the cultural heritage by playing games.
D. Visitors can walk around the Forbidden City with your family.

A. a virtual tour of the Forbidden City
B. a new “Forbidden City” to be built by the Palace Museum and IBM computer company
C. an Internet cafe to be built in the Palace Museum
D. a big book to be published to introduce Chinese culture
What attracts teenagers most to the virtual tour is _____.
A. the visible pictures in the place
B. the interaction and game playing

【小题1】C
【小题2】D
【小题3】A
【小题4】B
解析:
【小题1】根据短文第一段意义:想象一下紫禁城里只有你一个人的情景吧。你可以一整天都待在里面,身边再也不会挤满蜂拥的游人。你也可以尽情欣赏古迹珍宝,不用担心别人为了抢占观赏的有利位置,把你推来搡去。这种“虚拟网络之旅”将于2008年开通。因此,“你一个人在紫禁城里的情景”不是现在你能做到的。
【小题2】根据短文第三、四段的意义:这个虚拟平台就可以打破时间和空间的限制,游客想看什么都能看到。这种虚拟之旅中的互动和游戏部分还会吸引更多的年轻人,使他们理解、喜爱我们的民族文化遗产。在虚拟之旅中,历史人物还会和游客对话,回答他们的问题。由此归纳“与家人一起观看”不在其列。
【小题3】短文第一段提到:两年内你就能实现“独自游览紫禁城”的愿望了,就像古代的帝王那样。不过,其中唯一的区别就是你的紫禁城之旅是在网络之中。再根据第二段第一句“紫禁城虚拟网络之旅在新科技的帮助下即将于2008年开通。此项目由故宫和IBM电脑公司联合发起”。由此可知:project指的是“紫禁城虚拟网络之旅”。
【小题4】四个选项都是“紫禁城虚拟网络之旅”所要遇到的情况,然而根据短文第三段最后一句胡锤补充所说的内容:这种虚拟之旅中的互动和游戏部分还会吸引更多的年轻人,使他们理解、喜爱我们的民族文化遗产。

When Emily Beardmore first heard that a trip was being planned by the biology class at Windsor High School, she thought about how much fun it would be.
“I thought it would be a really good experience to go with other friends and teachers to another country in an environment other than a vacation environment,” the 10- year-old girl said.
A few months later, Emily got her chance when she and 14 of her classmates, along with biology teacher Tamara Pennington went to Costa Rica for eight days in late May.
“It was not just a tour,” said Pennington, who organized the trip. “You can go to any place in the world on just a tour. This one was practical, really working with the sea turtles and practicing conservation (保护). It just seemed like the perfect science field trip for kids who think they want to get into science to see what it’s really like to be out in the field and enjoy themselves.”
Emily said her time on the turtle project, which was the focus of the trip, was “crazy”. “We were walking on the beach at night and you can’t see anything — just see a big black dot (点),” she said with a laugh. “I was not expecting the turtles to be that big.” The turtles are leatherback turtles, which are becoming extinct because their eggs are used as food.
“When they would move their legs while laying their eggs they were really hard to control because they were a lot more powerful than you would imagine,” Emily said.
Once the eggs were collected, the students took them back to a hatchery (孵化场) and dug holes to copy the hole the mother turtle had made and then buried the eggs for the 60 days needed to hatch.
“It was an amazing experience,” Emily said. “You go to another country to see what their culture is like and learn what their everyday lives are like. It made me really want to help out my mom a lot more than I do, and value what I have.”

A. It was a common tour to a foreign country.
B. It was a journey to practice what students learned.

A. she was afraid of walking on the beach at night
B. she didn’t dare to catch the powerful turtles
C. she got crazy at the sight of turtles at night
D. she had thought turtles were small animals
3.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Emily thought the trip being planned by the biology class would be fun.
B. Totally, 16 people went to Costa Rica for the 8-day trip in May.
C. Generally, it takes about 60 days to hatch little turtles.
D. The trip mainly aimed to get fun and rest.
