Question

【題目】

It was a February afternoon in a Brooklyn classroom. Sixteen-year-old Taylor Engler came face to face with a cow. But it was all in her head. She was transported by a virtual (TE擬的）reality (VIO headset-it took Taylor and her classmates to a farm 250 miles away. For students，the technology means field trips are no longer limited by the length of a bus ride.“I was not expecting it to be right in my face！”That's what Taylor said after taking off the headset and finding herself back in the classroom.

On any school day, students can take virtual reality “trips". They are deep-sea diving. They are observing medical operations. They are visiting the Science Museum in London. Teachers say it's another way to involve the iPhone generation（一代人）into classroom learning and it can help with their understanding and improve their grades. Calm Jones, a science teacher, has walked students through the northern forest with a Google app called Expeditions. “It can be done in a period or two with the help of the new technology, he said. "But it could take even a week sometimes to take a real expedition.’, "It's different from watching videos. You can actually move"，Taylor said during the lesson on farm animals. "Not only move, but also feel, said Richard Lamb. He studies how brains deal with information.“Your physiological responses（生理反應(yīng)）in virtual reality are similar to what you get in doing the actual activity.”Lamb said.“Heart rate, breathing...everything.”

It is unknown how many classrooms will use the technology. But experts say it's still rare. Each headset can cost as little as＄20 or＄30，but systems and software for classes run into thousands of dollars. And good software is in great need. Another problem we face is how to make sure the VR technology mimics（模仿）the real world closely. "But we have to say VR technology provides students with a huge learning opportunity,”said David Evans, director of the National Science Teachers Association.

John Miller, a chemistry teacher，agreed. "Too often in schools, students did something wrong in their chemistry experiments. But we don't have enough materials for them to redo the experiments. In virtual reality, all they do is hitreset on the computer. We don't have to actually use chemicals.”Both Miller and Evans stressed the technology could enrich-not replace-real-world experiences. "We have to remain anchored（立足）in the real world,”Evans warned, "because that's the one that we really need to study and explain.”

【1】On a February afternoon, Taylor_____.

C.had a virtual reality lesson in the classroomD.played computer games with her classmates

【2】What can we learn from the passage?

A.VA technology is widely used in schools.

B.Teachers think VR technology helpful for students.

C.Colin Jones' students prefer a real trip to the forest.

D.Students breathe faster in VR activities than in actual ones.

【3】Miller and Evans probably agree that______.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】C

【2】B

【3】A

【解析】

本篇文章難度適中，主要講述虛擬現(xiàn)實在教育事業(yè)上的用途，為學(xué)生提供巨大的學(xué)習(xí)機會，但是能否被廣泛運用還是未知數(shù)，因為軟件的費用很高。這個只是豐富而不是取代整個世界。

【1】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)She was transported by a virtual (TE擬的）reality (VIO headset-it took Taylor and her classmates to a farm 250 miles away“她被一個虛擬現(xiàn)實耳機傳送過來，它將泰勒和她的同學(xué)帶到了250公里以外的農(nóng)場”可知，他們在教室中有一個虛擬現(xiàn)實的課程。故選C。

【2】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)it can help with their understanding and improve their grades“他能夠幫助他們理解和提高他們的成績”可知，老師認為VR技術(shù)對學(xué)生們有幫助，故選B。

【3】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Both Miller and Evans stressed the technology could enrich-not replace-real-world experiences. "We have to remain anchored（立足）in the real world“米勒和埃文斯都強調(diào)科技會豐富而不是取代真實的世界經(jīng)歷，我們不得不保持立足于真實的世界”可知，人們不應(yīng)該對真是的世界失去興趣，故選A。
