B
Japans biggest airline is betting that the future of travel isn’t traveling at all. For the last month, a married couple has been interacting with a robot -called an Avatar -that’s controlled by their daughter hundreds of miles away. Made by ANA Holdings Inc. it looks like a cleaner with an iPad attached. But the screen displays the daughter’s face as they chat, and its wheels let her move slowly about the house as though she’s really there.
“Virtual travel” is nothing new, of course. Storytellers, travel writers and artists have
stimulating(刺激)the sense of armchair tourists for centuries. It’s only in recent decades that frequent, safe travel has become available to the non-wealthy.
Yet even as the world’s middle classes climb out of the armchair and into economy-class seats, there are signs of a post-travel society coming into being. Concerns about sustainability(可持续发展)are having an negative influence on carbon-intensive airlines. And the aging of wealthy societies is both slowing down physical travel and creating demand for various ways to experience the world. For the travel industry, virtual (虚拟的)reality offers an attractive response to these trend.
Of course, far- out technologies encourage far-out claims. ANA doesn’t plan to start selling Avatars until next year. Profits, too, will probably be difficult to achieve: according to one
investigation, the global market for this kind of technology will be worth only about $300 million by 2023. By contrast, ANA’s traditional travel business brought in more than $19 billion last year .
But if the business case for virtual vacations is still weak, the market for technologies that bridge physical distances between families and coworkers seems likely to soy expand.ANA’s robots may not replace its airplanes any time soon, but they’ll almost certainly be a part of travel’s high-tech future.
24 “Avatar” is mentioned in paragraph 1 to_________. A. display how people travel with the robot “Avatar”. B. introduce a new service offered by Japan’s biggest airline. C. lead in the topic of virtual travel by providing a vivid scene. D. describe what the robot“Avatar” looks like and how it works.
25. It can be inferred from paragraph 3 that people's choice of virtual travel may be the result
of________.
A. the demand for safe travel
B. wealthy people’s growing old D. the support of advanced technologies
C. worries about low-carbon airlines
26. By saying “far-out technologies encourage far-out claims”, the writer means_______. A. traditional travel business is not profitable B. global market for virtual travels is hard to predict C. the time is ripe for selling Avatars in term of technology D. virtual travels will take the place of traditional ones very soon 27. What’s the writer’s attitude to virtual technology?
