This technology was beginning to go mainstreamed, with Facebook launching their 360-video service in 2015.”可知,Facebook的360度视频服务与Edstrom团队研发的360度全景虚拟现实技术类似,随着Facebook在2015年推出360度视频服务,这项技术开始成为主流。故选B。 3.D　词义猜测题。根据画线词后面的内容“ The discovery of Hang Son Doong prompted great interest from investors looking to capitalize on the site’s heritage value, including one company that proposed running a cable car through a section of the cave.”可知,韩松洞的发现激发了投资者们的兴趣并且他们采取投资行为。由此推断鼓舞人心的自然奇观也有助于催化积极的行动。因此画线词与bring about(催化,促进)为同义词。故选D。 4.A　推理判断题。根据最后一段的“By drawing international attention to the cave, Edstrom’s 360-degree interactive videos may have played a part in ensuring its preservation: for now, just one tour operator is licensed by the Vietnam government to conduct expeditions to Hang Son Doong, and these are limited to four days. For Edstrom, this is exactly the kind of outcome he’s looking for.”可知,360度全景虚拟现实技术使韩松洞这一自然景观得到了很好的开发和利用,并保证了后续对其的保护,这正符合Edstrom 的初衷。因此Edstrom对此是满意的。故选A。 Ⅴ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍为什么旅行对个人成长至关重要。 1.D　根据下文“It’s also an essential tool for personal growth.”可知,这里用also说明 ... ...
