解題方法
先看問句中的情境:航空公司人員正在確認行李是否含有受限制或禁止攜帶的物品。能表達「禁止的、禁用的」是 banned,因此 banned items 意為「違禁物品」,符合題意。旅客回答 There is none,表示行李中沒有這類物品,也與問句呼應。

核心觀念
本題考英文時間表達。a quarter 指一刻鐘(15 分鐘);在鐘點前用 to 表示「差幾分到某個鐘點」,用 past 表示「過了某個鐘點幾分鐘」。
解題方法
句意是「遊覽車星期五從臺北出發的時間延後半小時,改成早上六點四十五分,而不是六點十五分。」
早上 6:45 距離 7:00 還差 15 分鐘,因此英文說 a quarter to seven。空格應填 to。

先看語意線索:詢問飯店是否提供免費盥洗用品,表示說話者打算少帶一些用品,符合 pack light(輕裝打包、少帶行李)的用法。句型為 prefer to pack + 副詞,以副詞修飾 pack。
選項分析

句意為:「各位旅客,請回到座位並繫好安全帶。我們很快就會遇到亂流。為了您自身安全,請留在座位上。」

選項分析

解題方法
先從對話中的例子判斷付款方式:旅客提到 Line Pay、Apple Pay 和 Google Pay,導遊又補充 Taiwan Pay、JKO Pay。這些都是行動支付服務,與句中的「接受某種付款」相搭配,應填入 mobile,組成 mobile payment。

- (A) target:意為「以……為目標、瞄準」,不表示確認航班;target my flight 不符合此處語意。
- (B) confirm:意為「確認、證實」。

Flight attendant: I am sorry. Your bag is too large to take on board. Since we have a full flight today, we have to be strict about ____. Passenger: But I never had any problem with this bag before. Flight attendant: I am afraid we have to check in your suitcase at the boarding gate.
核心觀念
本題考「行李額度、允許攜帶量」的英文用字,以及介系詞搭配。航空公司對隨身行李的尺寸、重量或件數設有規定,英文常用 allowance 表示「允許的額度、限額」,例如 baggage allowance(行李額度)。
解題方法
先看對話情境:乘客的袋子太大,不能帶上機;航班客滿,航空公司必須嚴格執行相關規定,因此要在登機門辦理托運。空格前的 be strict about 表示「嚴格要求/嚴格執行」,後面應接與行李攜帶限制相關的名詞。allowance 符合「行李允許額度」之意,語意和情境都相符。
選項分析
- (A) expansion:意為「擴張、擴大」。be strict about expansion 是「對擴張嚴格要求」,與行李尺寸或攜帶額度無關。

Flight attendant: Your flight has been cancelled due to a hurricane in Florida. Passenger: Will the airline company arrange ____ for us?
核心觀念
本題考常見字義與旅遊情境用語。班機因颶風取消後,乘客詢問航空公司是否會為他們安排住宿。此處 arrange accommodation for someone 意為「替某人安排住宿」。
解題方法
先看對話情境:班機取消可能使乘客無法按原計畫抵達或轉機,因此乘客詢問航空公司能否提供住宿安排。空格應填入表示「住宿」的名詞 accommodation,使句子成為:
Will the airline company arrange accommodation for us? 航空公司會替我們安排住宿嗎?

Passenger: Could you show me how to operate the in-flight ____? Flight attendant: You can start by touching the screen. It covers music, movies, news, information, video games, TV shows, and radio programs. You can also switch languages on the screen.
核心觀念
本題考「機上娛樂系統」的情境用語,以及如何根據對話中的功能描述判斷空格所需的字。機上娛樂系統可播放音樂、電影、新聞、電視節目、廣播節目,也可能提供遊戲與航班資訊。
解題方法
先看空格後方的 in-flight,意為「機上的」;再看空服員說明的功能:可觸控螢幕,使用音樂、電影、新聞、遊戲、電視節目及廣播等服務。這些都是飛機上的娛樂內容,因此應填入 entertainment,組成 in-flight entertainment(機上娛樂)。
選項分析
- (A) safety:意為「安全」。in-flight safety 指飛行安全相關事項,通常涉及安全須知或安全設備,無法概括音樂、電影與遊戲等內容。
第 46 題1 分
Passenger: Excuse me, sir. Flight attendant: How may I help you? Passenger: I feel like vomiting. Flight attendant: Here is a ____ bag. Now, please cover your mouth and nose with it. Then, you could breathe slowly through your mouth till you feel much better.
核心觀念
本題考航空情境中的搭配詞。旅客表示「我覺得想吐」,空服員提供一個袋子,並請旅客用袋子遮住口鼻、慢慢呼吸,直到舒服一些。這裡需要的是「嘔吐袋」:sickness bag。
解題方法
先根據對話判斷袋子的用途:旅客感到噁心,空服員拿袋子讓他應急。再比對英文搭配,sickness bag 指嘔吐袋,符合情境與語意。

本題考「如實聲明」的英文用字。句中的 I hereby certify that I have made a truthful ____. I understand that if I provide false information... 表示說話者確認自己已提出真實的陳述,並知道提供不實資訊可能受罰或被要求返家。空格應填表示「聲明、申報」的名詞。
解題方法
先看搭配詞:make a declaration 是「作出聲明/申報」的常見用法;truthful 修飾 declaration,意為「真實的聲明」。後文提到 false information(不實資訊),也呼應前文對聲明內容真實性的確認。

本題考「機場接駁」的常見英文搭配。airport shuttle service 指往返機場與飯店等地的接駁服務;句中的 free 表示免費,後面的 service 則提示空格應填入可與 airport 搭配、表示交通接駁的字。
解題方法
先看前後文:紐約許多飯店提供免費的機場某種服務;下一句提到也可以搭乘地鐵,表示前句談的是往返機場的交通方式。因此應選表示「接駁車」的 shuttle,構成 free airport shuttle service(免費機場接駁服務)。

Receptionist: The Sheraton Hotel. How can I help you? Tourist: I would like to reserve a room for this weekend. Is there any suite ____?
核心觀念
本題考「形容詞搭配名詞」及住宿情境常用語。available 表示「可用的、可提供的」,飯店詢問是否有空房時,常說 Is there any room available?,也可說 Is there any suite available?
解題方法
先從對話情境判斷:旅客想預訂週末的套房,因此櫃檯人員要確認是否有套房可供預訂。空格應填入表示「有空房、可供使用」的形容詞,選 available。
選項分析
- (A) alone:意為「獨自的、單獨的」,不表示房間有空房或可供預訂。
suite alone也不符合此處語意。
第 51 題1 分
Traveler: I would like to check out. My room number is 608 and here is the room key. Receptionist: OK, sir. You pay a deposit in advance to ____ the reservation. In total, your bill is 800, including taxes and 15% service charge. How would you like to pay?
核心觀念
本題考查旅館英文中的動詞搭配與語意。secure a reservation 表示「確保/確認訂房」,此處指旅客預先支付訂金,以確保訂房成立。
解題方法
先看空格後的受詞是 the reservation(訂房),再依前後文判斷語意:句子提到預先支付訂金,目的應是確保訂房,而不是占用房間或從事其他動作。因此選擇可與 reservation 搭配、且符合「確保」之意的 secure。
選項分析
- (A) commit:意為「承諾、投入」。常見搭配如
commit to a plan,但commit the reservation不符合此處要表達的「確保訂房」之意。

選項分析
- (A) insistent:堅持的、再三要求的,常用來形容人或要求,不能自然地描述希臘料理。

核心觀念
本題考「族裔的、民族文化的」形容詞 ethnic,以及它與 food 的常見搭配 ethnic food,指由不同族群或文化傳統發展而來的料理。

解題方法
先看後半句的因果線索:資訊中心提供旅遊資訊,並鼓勵遊客參與活動、造訪景點。這些作為都能吸引遊客、提升地方能見度,因而「推廣區域觀光」。再將選項代回空格,檢查動詞的意思是否符合此因果關係。

解題方法
店員開價 200 美元,旅客回應「150 美元。這是我的最後__。」可知旅客正在議價,表示自己最多只願意出 150 美元。因此空格應填表示「出價」的 offer,形成 This is my final offer.(這是我最後的出價。)

第 56 題1 分
Visitors to the EU may buy goods free of VAT at the check-out. The clerk will ask you to show your passport and fill out a tax ____ form.
核心觀念
本題考查英文常見搭配詞。VAT 是 value-added tax(加值型營業稅);tax refund 指「退稅」,tax refund form 即「退稅表格」。題幹提到旅客在結帳時免付 VAT,並需出示護照、填寫表格,情境正是旅客辦理退稅。
解題方法
先根據上下文判斷表格用途:旅客購物時未直接負擔 VAT,相關文件應用來申請退還稅款,因此空格應填表示「退款、退還」的 refund。常見搭配為 apply for a tax refund(申請退稅)及 tax refund form(退稅表格)。
選項分析
第 57 題1 分
If you are sick when travelling, you could call the hospital and schedule an appointment. When you visit the hospital, you need to bring your health ____ policy documents.
核心觀念
本題考「健康保險」的英文搭配。health insurance policy 意為「健康保險保單」;policy documents 則是「保單文件」。句中提到前往醫院時要攜帶相關文件,因此空格應填能與 health 和 policy documents 搭配的 insurance。
解題方法
先看空格後方的 policy documents:insurance policy 是固定搭配,指保險契約或保單。再結合前文「生病時前往醫院」,可判斷句意是提醒旅客攜帶健康保險的保單文件。
選項分析
- (A) notation:意為「記號、註記」,
health notation policy documents不構成自然的英文搭配。

解題方法

There are many kinds of short-term ____ jobs in the touring industry. People doing these jobs need to respond to different challenges every day.
核心觀念
本題考字彙搭配與語意判斷。空格前的 short-term 表示「短期的」,句子又提到旅遊業中的工作,以及工作者每天要面對不同挑戰,因此要選出能自然搭配 jobs、且符合旅遊業情境的形容詞。
解題方法
先看空格後的名詞 jobs,再將各選項代入句子,判斷是否形成自然的英文搭配:
- short-term seasonal jobs 指「短期的季節性工作」,符合旅遊業工作會隨旅遊旺季、淡季而增加或減少的情況。後句提到每天要應對不同挑戰,也與這類工作的特性相符。
選項分析

解題方法
先從對話情境判斷需要的場所:旅客有高燒、感覺很不舒服,醫院人員建議立刻前往某個「room」。再看選項中,只有 emergency 能與 room 組成表示急診室的固定搭配 emergency room。
選項分析
- (A) veterinary:意為「獸醫的」。
veterinary room不是本題情境中的醫療場所;題中旅客是尋求醫師診治。 - (B) fatal:意為「致命的」。
第 62 題1 分

核心觀念
本題考單字 phobia 的意思及其慣用搭配。Phobia 是「恐懼症、強烈且不理性的恐懼」;常見說法是 a phobia about/of something,表示「對某事物有恐懼」。
解題方法
句意是:「大多數人去年都接種了疫苗,但 Mary 拒絕接種,因為她對針頭有一種 ____。」拒絕接種的原因與「害怕針頭」相符,因此空格應填表示恐懼症的 phobia。
選項分析
- (A) demand:需求、要求 a demand about needles 不符合句意;「對針頭的需求或要求」也無法合理說明她為何拒絕接種。

核心觀念
本題考動詞片語與句意搭配。句子描述「許多因素 ____ 導致有毒氣體濃度上升」,空格後的 to 可與 contribute 搭配成 contribute to,表示「促成、造成、是……的原因之一」。
解題方法
先看空格後的介系詞 to,再依句意判斷動詞搭配:
Many factors contribute to increased level of toxic gases 意為「許多因素促成有毒氣體濃度上升」。
後半句指出大眾運輸工具的排放是常被忽略的因素,與前半句「多種因素造成有毒氣體濃度上升」的語意連貫,因此選 (B) contribute。
選項分析
- (A) align:意為「排列整齊;使一致」,常見搭配如 align with(與……一致)。align to increased level 不符合此處「造成上升」的語意。
第 64 題1 分

核心觀念
本題考「登入帳戶」的英文慣用語。動詞片語 log in to an account 表示「登入帳戶」,常寫作 log into an account。句中提到銀行帳戶與輸入密碼,語意上是在提醒旅客避免在公共場所登入帳戶。
解題方法
先看空格後的 into bank accounts。表示「進入/登入帳戶」時,應使用 log into;再依句意,旅客應避免在公共 Wi-Fi 環境下登入銀行帳戶或輸入密碼,以降低資料被他人看見或竊取的風險。
選項分析
- (A) reading:read into 通常表示「對……作過度解讀」;reading into bank accounts 不符合「登入銀行帳戶」的意思。

核心觀念
本題考「免費提供的、贈送的」形容詞 complimentary,並以句意判斷餐廳可以提供什麼來回應顧客覺得餐點價格偏高的意見。
解題方法
John 說餐點好吃,但有些顧客覺得價格有點貴。Mary 接著提議提供更多「____ 配菜」,並補充說多數顧客喜歡得到免費的東西。因此,空格應填表示「免費贈送」的 complimentary,整句是「我們可以多提供一些免費配菜,例如沙拉」。
選項分析
- (A) empty:空的、空無一物的。「空的配菜」不符合餐廳提供配菜的語意,也無法呼應顧客喜歡獲得免費東西。
- **(B) covert:秘密的、隱密的。
第 66 題1 分
Receptionist: Good afternoon. Welcome to the Sheraton hotel. How can I help you? Tourist: Good afternoon. I have a ____ for two nights and here is my confirmation number.
核心觀念

解題方法
先看對話情境:櫃檯人員詢問如何協助,旅客接著說有一筆「兩晚的__」,並提供確認號碼。飯店的確認號碼通常對應旅客先前的訂房紀錄;英文慣用說法是 have a reservation for two nights,意為「已預訂兩晚」。
選項分析
- (A) conversation:意為「談話、交談」,例如 have a conversation(交談)。不能表示飯店訂房。
第 67 題1 分

核心觀念

核心觀念
本題考「動詞+介系詞」的慣用搭配,以及句意判讀。句中 fully ____ against COVID-19 意為「已完整接種疫苗以預防 COVID-19」;描述人接種疫苗時,慣用 be vaccinated against a disease。
解題方法
先看空格後的 against COVID-19。「接種疫苗以預防某種疾病」是 vaccinated against + 疾病 的固定搭配;再看句意,題目指希望依農曆新年檢疫方案入境台灣的旅客,必須已完整接種疫苗滿 14 天,因此選 vaccinated。
選項分析
- (A) vaccinated:正確。 意為「接種疫苗的」。be vaccinated against COVID-19 即「接種疫苗以預防 COVID-19」,符合句意及搭配。
- **(B) accused:錯誤。

解題方法
句意是:「飛行員與航空管制員都精通航空英語,也精通日常英語。」主詞是人,後面接 in aviation English as well as everyday English,表示其在兩種英語使用情境中的熟練程度,因此選 proficient。
選項分析
- (A) adaptive:意為「適應性強的、能適應的」,常用來形容人或事物能適應環境;不表示精通某種語言。
第 70 題1 分
Passenger: Is there any chance for a(n) ____ to the business class? Check-in clerk: Let me check if there are any business class seats available.
核心觀念
本題考航空旅行情境中的常見字彙,以及句型 Is there any chance for a(n) ____ to the business class? 的語意判讀。乘客詢問是否有機會「升到商務艙」,因此空格應填表示「升等」的名詞。
解題方法
先看對話線索:乘客詢問能否換到商務艙,櫃檯人員接著確認是否有商務艙座位。前後文都指向艙等變更;英文通常以 an upgrade to business class 表示「升等至商務艙」。

【題組共用題幹】 It’s noon. You’re starving, and you need some food now—right now. Back in the old days, if you ordered some delivery, that food might come from a driver or bicycle delivery person. But this is the age of the drone. Therefore, your takeaway might not come with a knock at the door, but with a drone hovering outside your window.
Drone delivery hasn’t advanced to the point that it will fly up to your floor office window, but in Shanghai’s Jinshan Industrial Park, drone delivery has already started. There, online retail giant Alibaba directs the service through its Ele.me food delivery brand. Drones fly along 17 specific routes. Customers can order from any one of 100 restaurants operating in the park. After the order is received and made, a member of the restaurant staff places the meal in the drone. It then flies to a delivery point nearest the customer. It is then picked up by an Alibaba employee and carried the rest of the way.
All of this takes just 20 minutes. Ele.me says the drone delivery method greatly reduces operating costs. If it’s faster and cheaper, what’s not to love about flying food?
What is the passage mainly about?
核心觀念
本題考查英文閱讀的主旨判斷。解題時要掌握文章反覆說明的核心事件,區分主旨與文中提到的細節或無關選項。
解題方法
文章先以「無人機在窗外等候送餐」引出主題,接著介紹上海金山工業園區的無人機送餐服務:顧客從園區內的餐廳下單,餐廳人員將餐點放入無人機,由無人機送至交貨點,再由阿里巴巴員工送到顧客手上。文末補充服務約 20 分鐘可完成,並能降低營運成本。
因此,全文的核心是以無人機配送餐點的新方式,選項 (B) new way to deliver food 符合主旨。

All of this takes just 20 minutes. Ele.me says the drone delivery method greatly reduces operating costs. If it’s faster and cheaper, what’s not to love about flying food?
What is “drone”?
核心觀念
本題考英文單字在上下文中的意思。drone 在文中指「無人機」,也就是不需機上人員駕駛、可遙控或依程式飛行的航空器。
解題方法
先從前後文判斷 drone 的類別:文章提到它會沿著指定航線飛行,將餐點載到離顧客最近的交付點;開頭也描述餐點由 drone 飛到窗外。這些線索都顯示它是用於配送的飛行器,因此應選代表「無人機」的選項。
選項分析
- (A) dolphin cruise:意為「海豚巡航」,指海豚或與海豚相關的航行活動,與文中運送餐點的飛行器無關。

Which word is closest in meaning to the word “hovering” in the passage?
核心觀念
本題考英文單字的語境辨義。hover 作動詞時,常指物體在空中盤旋、徘徊或停留在某處附近;hovering 是其現在分詞。
解題方法
文中提到無人機送餐可能會出現在窗外:a drone hovering outside your window。無人機在窗外飛行,語意上是盤旋於附近,因此最接近「盤旋」的選項是 circling。
選項分析
- (A) circling:正確。 意為「盤旋、環繞飛行」,符合無人機在窗外附近飛行的語境。
- (B) hugging:錯誤。 意為「擁抱」;

核心觀念
本題考閱讀理解,重點是從文章中找出與選項相符的明確事實,並留意選項是否加入原文沒有支持的資訊,或與原文相反。
解題方法
先抓文章描述無人機外送的關鍵細節:無人機沿著 17 條特定路線飛行;餐廳員工將餐點放入無人機;無人機抵達離顧客最近的交貨點後,由阿里巴巴員工接手,把餐點送完最後一段路。依這些資訊逐一核對選項。

According to the passage, what may not be the incentive for people to use the service of Ele.me food delivery?
核心觀念
本題測驗閱讀理解與「排除文中未提及資訊」的能力。題目問哪一項不構成消費者使用 Ele.me 無人機外送服務的誘因,因此要找文章有明確支持的優點,再排除沒有提到的選項。
解題方法
文中指出,無人機外送「只需 20 分鐘」,且 Ele.me 表示此方式「大幅降低營運成本」。此外,無人機送餐也比傳統外送方式更具新穎性。將這些資訊與選項比對後,文章沒有提及餐點包裝較好,因此「better packaging」不是文中所述的誘因。
選項分析
(A) lower cost(較低成本)—錯誤。 文章明確表示無人機外送能大幅降低營運成本,較低成本可作為採用這項服務的誘因。

With this in mind, there are a number of tourism trends that are related to this, such as increased cleaning, socially distanced seating, providing hand gel and enforcing masks in some settings.
This is also now a vital part of tourism marketing, with companies needing to make clear what their hygiene and safety policies are and what measures they are taking to keep customers safe. The threat of COVID-19 has meant people are more reluctant to travel and visit tourism hot spots, so they will need to be persuaded that it is safe.
Shift from international to local The various travel restrictions and the reluctance of many people to travel abroad has meant many in the tourism industry are having to focus on local customers, rather than international ones. This does not mean giving up on international travelers entirely, but it is likely to require a change in your core marketing strategies.
With hotels, it could be best to highlight the kinds of facilities that may appeal to the local market, such as your restaurant, your gym facilities, your Wi-Fi and even the fact that your hotel rooms are ideal for remote work. Airlines and tourism management companies may also need to shift gears to domestic tourists.
It is worth remembering that local customers are less likely to cancel too, as they will only have to pay attention to local restrictions and are not as likely to have to quarantine after their visit.
Virtual reality tourism trends Virtual reality is another of the major tourism trends disrupting the industry and capitalizing on the technology can give you an edge over rivals who have not yet adopted it. Through online VR tours, customers can experience hotel interiors, restaurant interiors, outdoor tourist attractions and more, all from their home.
Importantly, they are able to do this at the decision-making phase of the customer journey. This can then be the difference between customers completing a booking or backing out, and VR is especially useful within the context of COVID-19, where customers may have second thoughts and may need extra encouragement to press ahead with their plans.
Which is the best title of the whole passage?
核心觀念
本題考查閱讀理解中的「主旨與標題判斷」。標題應涵蓋全文共同主題,而非只對應其中一個段落或細節。
解題方法
全文介紹三項旅遊產業的趨勢:
- 加強安全與衛生措施,例如增加清潔、保持座位間距及提供乾洗手用品。
- 從國際旅客轉向在地與國內旅客,並調整行銷策略。
- 運用虛擬實境,讓旅客在家中預覽旅遊設施與景點。
三項內容都圍繞旅遊產業因應疫情與科技發展所呈現的新趨勢,因此選項應能涵蓋整篇文章。
選項分析
(A) The Security Guidelines for the Local Tourism Industry(在地旅遊產業的安全指引) 範圍過窄。文章第一部分談安全與衛生,但也談在地旅客與虛擬實境,並非全篇都在介紹安全指引。

What does the word, “paramount,” in the first paragraph mean?
核心觀念
本題考 字義判斷與上下文推論。paramount 是形容詞,意為「最重要的、首要的」。文中指出,疫情爆發後,航空公司、郵輪、旅館、餐廳等場所的安全與衛生標準一直是最優先的考量,因此選項中與「重要、關鍵」最接近的是 crucial。
解題方法
先看句子中的語境:安全與衛生標準被形容為 paramount,後文接著談加強清潔、保持社交距離、提供乾洗手,以及在部分場所要求戴口罩。這些措施都是為了保障旅客安全,說明安全與衛生標準在疫情期間具有「極重要、優先」的地位。
因此,將 paramount 換成 crucial(關鍵的、至關重要的),句意仍然通順。

In paragraph 5, which of the following words is closest in meaning to “quarantine”?
核心觀念
本題考單字字義與上下文判讀。quarantine 作名詞時是「隔離、檢疫」,指將可能帶有傳染病的人與他人分開;作動詞時則是「隔離、檢疫」。
解題方法
先看句子:當地旅客只須留意當地的旅遊限制,而且到訪後「比較不必隔離」。由於上下文談的是 COVID-19、旅遊限制與防疫措施,quarantine 在此指旅客到訪後接受隔離。與「隔離」意思最接近的是 separation。

What does the author mean “Virtual reality can give you an edge over rivals who have not yet adopted it”?
核心觀念
本題考查片語 give someone an edge over rivals 的語意。edge 在此不是「邊角」,而是「優勢」;rivals 是「競爭者」。整句意指:某項做法能讓你比尚未採用它的競爭者更有優勢。
解題方法
先看上下文:文章指出,運用虛擬實境(virtual reality)能讓旅客在家中預覽飯店、餐廳及景點,並在做決定時鼓勵旅客完成預訂。這些效果有助於業者吸引顧客、提高競爭力。因此,題幹中的 give you an edge over rivals 是「相較於競爭者取得優勢」。
選項分析
- (A) Virtual reality pushes tourism industry to the corner. 錯誤。push someone to the corner 有「逼入困境」的意思,與原文所說虛擬實境為業者帶來優勢相反。

If a similar section is going to be added to this passage, which is a possible section to fit in?
核心觀念
本題考查篇章主旨與段落銜接。判斷適合新增的段落時,要掌握文章的共同主題,並確認新段落是否能自然納入文章所談的旅遊業趨勢。
文中已有三個主題:疫情後的安全與衛生措施、由國際旅遊轉向在地旅遊,以及以虛擬實境協助旅客決策。共同核心是疫情影響下,旅遊業如何調整營運與行銷。
解題方法
先看文章開頭,確認題材是旅遊業趨勢,再逐段抓主旨,接著比較選項是否屬於同一層次、能否延伸文章內容。新增段落應是另一項具體旅遊趨勢,而非重述既有段落、偏離主題或只談單一應變措施。
選項分析
- (A) Growth of Contactless Payments(非接觸式支付的成長)—正確。 非接觸式支付是旅遊業可採用的科技與服務趨勢,能減少旅客與設備或人員接觸,也符合疫情期間旅遊業調整服務方式的脈絡。它與安全衛生、國內旅遊及虛擬實境並列,適合作為文章的新段落主題。
