【解析】

本文是一篇记叙文。作者还是大学生的时候，就在国外旅行过很多次。那是因为一位教授鼓励作者说：“现在是你环游世界的时候了，通过实际的经历来丰富你的知识，享受乐趣！”然而，自从作者开始为一家食品公司工作以来，大部分旅行都是通过互联网完成的。通过使用互联网，在电脑屏幕上看到了许多城市的景象。也有过真正的商务旅行。在互联网的帮助下，作者也得到了不同国家的食物信息。作者既主张在真实的世界中享受乐趣,又主张谨慎而明智地利用信息技术。

1.D考查动词。 A. promised许诺；B. allowed允许；C. invited 邀请； D. encouraged鼓励。由下文女教授所说的话可知,作者是受到了教授的鼓励而去国外旅行的。故选D。

2.A考查动词。A. enrich 丰富；B. use使用；C. practice 练习；D. exchange交换。通过实际的旅行经历才能“丰富”自己的知识。enrich“使丰富”;exchange“交换”。故选A。

3.B考查副词。A. otherwise否则；B. however然而；C. besides 另外；D. therefore因此。第一、二两段的内容为转折关系,四个选项中只有however表示转折。故选B。

4.A考查介词。by此处意为“通过”。故选A。

5.C考查名词。A. machines机器；B. works作品；C. sights 视野；D. arts艺术。由“many cities on my computer screen”可知,此处用sight“名胜,风景”最符合语境。故选C。

6.D考查名词。A. plans计划；B. bargains交易；C. progress进步；D. trips旅行。make business trips“做商务旅行”。故选D。

7.A考查名词。A. information信息；B. taste味道；C. cooks一般的厨师和炊事人员；D. feelings感觉。在因特网的帮助下,了解的应是不同国家饮食方面的信息。故选A。

8.B考查形容词。A. important 重要的；B. necessary必要的；C. possible可能的；D. real真的。由第二段内容可推断出当时作者认为实际旅行没有必要了。故选B。

9.C考查形容词。A. commercial商业的；B. simple简单的；C. difficult 困难的；D. clever聪明的。由“because we enjoy...at the same time”可知,在国外吃到真正的意大利食品应是很难的。故选C。

10.B考查名词。A. waiters服务员；B. atmosphere气氛；C. bills账单； D. tables桌子。厨师建议作者乘飞机去意大利品尝真正的意大利菜肴,除此之外,还能同时享受的只能是“气氛”。故选B。

11.C考查名词所有格。A. friend’s 朋友的；B. parent’s父母的；C. professor’s 教授的；D. boss’s老板的。厨师和教授都建议作者去国外,故厨师的话使作者想起的应是“教授”的建议。故选C。

12.D考查名词。A. produces产品；B. advertises 广告；C. forms 形式；D. advances前进。句意为:随着信息技术的“发展” 。故选D。

13.B考查名词。A. news 新闻；B. pleasures快乐；C. troubles 麻烦；D. places地方。由于许多事情在网上做,所以说失去的应是各种实地旅行的“乐趣”。故选B。

14.A考查动词。A. avoid 避免；B. keep 保持；C. lik喜欢；D. enjoy喜爱。

由上下文可知,人们许多时间都花在网上,自然就会“避开”同别人的交往。故选A。

15.B考查形容词。A. able有能力的；B. surprising 令人惊讶的；C. willing 愿意的；D. satisfying令人满意的。随着技术的发展,现在人们不用当面交谈,而是通过手机联系,这应是司空见惯的事,不足为奇。故选B。

16.C考查动词。A. stopped 停止；B. met 遇见；C. surrounded包围； D. hurt使伤害。wall只能和surround(包围)构成主谓搭配。故选C。

17.D考查动词。A. look看；B. listen 听；C. travel旅行；D. meet遇见。由上下文可知,网络交流使人们看上去好像失去了“见面”的机会。故选D。

18.A考查名词。A. communication 交流；B. study学习；C. work工作； D. action行动。利用信息技术的目的应是使日常“交际”更有成效,故选A项。

19.C考查动词。A. space隔开；B. increase 增长；C. reduce 减少；D. spend花费。作者一直强调面对面交谈的必要性,故不应该“减少”面对面交谈的时间。故选C。

20.A考查副词。A. wisely明智地；B. freely自由地；C. quickly迅速地； D. carefully细心地。从全文可知,作者既主张在真实的世界中享受乐趣,又主张利用信息技术,但应谨慎而明智地利用信息技术。故选A。
