9.A  細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Tourist Ranger is the ideal ticket for tourists and visitors to the city. The tickets are valid for 2, 3 or 5 days, and can be used on all city buses可知答案。
10.C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。我們知道orange BTB buses是市內(nèi)公交車,而這類車票是不能在汽車上買的(TICKETS CANNOT BE PURCHASED ON THE BUSES)。故C項(xiàng)有部分細(xì)節(jié)與短文有出入。

Submit your photos and videos to You Witness News to have them considered for use on Reuters.com, Yahoo!, and the Reuters professional picture service, used by thousands of news organizations worldwide.
When you send images to pics@ reuters.com, please provide the following so that we can review and post them:
·Your full name
·Your email address or phone number
·A brief description of the event you shot with the place and date that it occurred.
The next images shown across the world’s newspapers, television channels, and news sites could be yours.Share your take with the world.
What makes a good news photograph?
As you’re thinking about taking news photographs, think about what makes up a good picture.
Most importantly, it will be of interest to a wide audience.It may describe an event in the news: a train crash, a clash in the streets, crazily happy fans the moment the big game is won.
Uniqueness is eye-catching.A picture that no one else took has much more news value than one taken alongside a rank of other photographers.A good news picture will tell a story without words.It will have context by showing the surrounding scene, or show the emotion on the faces of the people in the picture.
Timeliness is critical.Whatever the content, a news picture can lose its value in a short space of time.News events move quickly, and the shot of a mini tornado you took last week may have been destined for the front page when you took it, but of no interest to a newspaper or a website a week later.
Control is important.Please remember, absolutely no photo is worth bothering others, putting yourself or others in danger, or getting in trouble with the law.
We’re looking forward to seeing your pictures.
64.The following are the features of a good news photograph except that        .
A.it is unique             B.it is timely
C.it respects others’ privacy and the law    D.it can arouse specialists’ interest
65.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A.You Witness News is a popular column of a website.
B.The photos or videos you take are only shared by Yahoo! and Reuters.com.
C.Attach a brief description of yourself when submitting your photos and videos.
D.Any photo or video you take will be accepted by You Witness News.
66.The purpose of the passage is         .
A.to teach you how to take photos
B.to tell people what makes a good news photo
C.to encourage you to share the take
D.to remind people not to disturb others while taking photos
67.Which of the following is a good news photograph?
A.A bird escapes from the cage.
