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(西西里岛).
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.

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.

10.(41)EYou probably think you will never be a top student.This is not necessarily so,however.Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to.Here's how:
Plan your time carefully.When planning your work,you should make a list of things that you have to do.After making this list,you should make a schedule of your time.First your time for eating,sleeping,dressing,etc.Then decide a good,regular time for studying.(42)BA weekly schedule may not solve all your problems,but it will force you to realize what happens to your time.
Find a good place to study.Look around the house for a good study area.Keep this space,which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room,free of everything but study materials.No games,mobile phones,radios,or television.When you sit down to study,concentrate on the subject.
Make good use of your time in class.(43)CListening carefully in class means less work later.Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says.
Study regularly.When you get home from school,go over your notes,review the important points that your teacher is going to discuss the next day,read that material.(44)GIf you do these things regularly,the material will become more meaningful,and you'll remember it longer.
Develop a good attitude towards tests.The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject.They help you remember your new knowledge.The world won't end if you don't pass a test,so don't be over worried.
(45)AYou will probably discover them after you have tried these.

A.There are other methods that might help you with your studying.
B.Don't forget to set aside enough time for entertainment.
C.Take advantage of class time to listen to what the teacher says.
D.No one can become a top student unless he or she works hard.
E.Maybe you are a common student.
F.Make full use of class time to take notes of everything the teacher says in class.
G.This will help you understand the next class.
14.Humans have sewn by hand for thousands of years.It was said that the first thread was made from animal muscle and sinew (腱).And the earliest needles were made from bones.Since those early days,many people have been involved in the process of developing a machine that could do the same thing more quickly and with greater efficiency.
Charles Wiesenthal,who was born in Germany,designed and received a patent(专利权) on a double-pointed needle that eliminated(消除) the need to turn the needle around with each stitch (缝合) in England in 1755.Other inventors of that time tried to develop a functional sewing machine,but each design had at least one serious imperfection.A Frenchman Barthelemy Thimonnier finally engineered a machine that really worked.However,he was nearly killed by a group of angry tailors when they burned down his garment factory.They feared that they would lose their jobs to the machine.
American inventor Elias Howe,born on July 9,1819,was awarded a patent for a method of sewing that used thread from two different sources.Howe's machine had a needle with an eye at the point,and it used the two threads to make a special stitch called a lockstitch.(双线连锁缝纫法) However,Howe faced difficulty in finding buyers for his machines in America.In frustration,he traveled to England to try to sell his invention there.When he finally returned home,he found that dozens of manufacturers(制造商) were adapting his discovery for use in their own sewing machines.
Isaac Singer,another American inventor,was also a manufacturer who made improvements to the design of sewing machines.He invented an up-and-down-motion mechanism that replaced the side-to-side machines.He also developed a foot treadle(脚踏板) to power his machine.This improvement left the sewer's hands free.Undoubtedly,it was a huge improvement of the hand-cranked machine of the past.Soon the Singer sewing machine achieved more fame than the others for it was more practical,it could be adapted to home use and it could be bought on hire-purchase.The Singer sewing machine became the first home equipment,and the Singer company became one of the first American multinationals.
However,Singer used the same method to create a lockstitch that Howe had already patented.As a result,Howe accused him of patent infringement(侵犯).Of course,Elias Howe won the court case,and Singer was ordered to pay Howe royalties(版税).In the end,Howe became a millionaire,not by manufacturing the sewing machine,but by receiving royalty payments for his invention.

4.Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?B
A.Singer is an American inventor and manufacturer.
B.The Singer sewing company became more practical.
C.The foot treadle helped to make the sewer's hands free.
D.Singer made improvements to the design of sewing machines.
5.Why did the court force Isaac Singer to pay Elisa Howe a lifetime of royalties?B
A.Because the judge was against Singer for his surly attitude.
B.Because Howe had already patented the lockstitch used by Singer.
C.Because Singer had borrowed money from Howe and never repaid it.
D.Because Singer and Howe had both invented the same machine.
6.Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?D
A.A Stitch in Time Saves Nine
B.The Case between Howe and Singer
C.Patent Laws on the Sewing Machine
D.The Early History of the Sewing Machine.
