专题限时集训(六)　推理判断之写作意图/目的
A
I decided to ski to the North Pole. It was after I saw an advertisement in a newspaper looking for people to join a team to ski 350 miles to the North Pole. Back in 1996，there had never been a woman from the UK who had accomplished this challenge. I wondered what it would be like to survive in temperatures cold enough to freeze your flesh in seconds，so I sent off for the application form.
The application form full of pictures of male explorers arrived. The words“Are you man enough for the ultimate(极限的) challenge？”made me angry and even more determined to get on the team.
Over 500 individuals applied for a place in the team，and the selection process included physical and psychological tests designed to pick the best group. In one test，there was a huge rope ladder we had to climb，and I froze at the top because I have a fear of heights. I t
hought my hopes were fading as most other applicants sailed past，leaving me behind. But two others helped me over，and later I found out that the organizers were not looking for amazing individuals，but great team players，and this moment had shown them who would take care of others in the team.
I had revealed(显示) my weakness，and in a place like the Arctic，you have to be yourself，as there is nowhere to hide. There personalities of asking for help and showing weakness are necessary for women to master.
I realized that by being myself，I could succeed. I was selected for the team. I realized that I could achieve more than I ever imagined—more importantly，by sharing my story with others，I could inspire them to take a step into the new world and reveal more of their abilities.

Tourism is often about seeking deeper emotional and personal connections with the world around us. Not all travel experiences，however，need to take place in the real world. With the evolution of virtual reality(VR) technology，tourism will increasingly become a combination of physical and virtual world.  VR may even remove the need to travel entirely.
But can a VR experience really equal a real world？Many experts believe it can. Studies have shown that our brains have an inbuilt VR­like mechanism that enables us to live imagined experiences. Much of our waking life is spent thinking about either the past or the future. This is known as“mind wandering”．During these events we're not paying attention to the current world around us. Instead，we're recalling memories，or creating and processing imagined futures.
When engaged in mind wandering，our brains process these mental images using the same pathways used to receive inputs from the real world. So，the imagined past or future can create emotions and feelings similar to how we react to everyday life. VR can create these same feelings.
While critics might argue that a virtual experience will never match reality，there are several ways VR tourism could make a positive contribution. Firstly it could help protect sensitive locations from overtourism. In recent years famous sites such as Maya Bay in Thailand，have had to limit the number of visitors because of their negative impact. These places are now producing their own VR experiences that will allow tourists to pass through virtual models of the sites.
Virtual reality may also allow people back in time，to experience historical events，visit ancient cities，and even to walk among dinosaurs.
Finally，in a world where many people suffer from stress and depression due to overwork，virtual tourism may provide a cheap and convenient way for people to take brief
holidays to otherwise unreachable destinations and recharge their batteries，without ever leaving their homes.
It sounds like science fiction but it's already happening(流行的)．As virtual technology improves and as people continue to demand new and interesting experiences，more virtual tourism will be expected，both in combination with the real world and instead of it．
【语篇解读】　随着虚拟现实技术的发展，旅游业将日益成为客观世界和虚拟世界的结合体。
5．What is driving the development of virtual tourism?
A．Companies seeking to make more money.
