Recently, a research on how a new virtual reality (VR, 虚拟现实) experience educated children about the fire disasters was done. The new VR experience was developed by the University of South Australia, hoping to educate children to learn how to be safe in a fire. It presents a situation for children aged 10-12. In the situation, they are tasked to look after a friend's dog just before a fire event begins. They take part in a set of problem-solving activities to help save and protect themselves and the dog.
The findings showed that over 80% of children could calmly tell the advantages and disadvantages of different choices. They also learned to make wise decisions to protect themselves from a fire. Children thought it especially important and meaningful, because 91% of them didn't have knowledge of fires in the beginning, and 67% had said that they were too young to make safety decisions in a fire.
The researchers believed such VR experiences made it possible to engage, educate and empower the young. "As children born in modern times, they are interested in such technology and they can experience events in a real situation but within the safe environment," said Delene Weber, one of the researchers. "Well-designed VR can provide children with surprisingly valuable learning tools." Meanwhile, because children have fewer life experiences, aren't so physically strong and are less likely to have learned much about fire safety, they're often most at risk. However, the role that children play in the fire safety at their homes should not be underestimated (低估). "Children don't need to be always waiting for help in disasters. With these VR experiences, we can make children understand the risks and realize they can help," said Weber.

解析
【分析】
1. 第1题：先定位文章第一段，寻找新VR体验的目的相关表述，文中明确提及“hoping to educate children to learn how to be safe in a fire”，对比选项即可锁定答案。
2. 第2题：根据第二段里“Children thought it especially important and meaningful”的描述，判断孩子们对该VR体验的态度，结合选项词义确定对应答案。
3. 第3题：先理解第三段“engage, educate and empower the young”的语境，VR体验是要吸引孩子注意力、让他们投入其中，再对照字典释义，找到匹配的解释。
4. 第4题：通读第三段，梳理内容：提到孩子对这类技术感兴趣、能在安全环境体验真实场景、是有价值的学习工具、能让孩子意识到自身作用等，这些都是在阐述VR体验的优势，进而确定答案。
5. 第5题：逐个分析选项，结合原文内容验证：A选项与“the role that children play in the fire safety at their homes should not be underestimated”矛盾；B选项与“It presents a situation for children aged 10-12”不符；D选项与“67% had said that they were too young to make safety decisions in a fire”不符；C选项与原文表述一致。
【解析】
1. 第1题：根据第一段“hoping to educate children to learn how to be safe in a fire”可知，新VR体验的目的是教孩子在火灾中自救，对应选项B。
2. 第2题：由第二段“Children thought it especially important and meaningful”可知，孩子们认为该VR体验重要且有意义，态度是支持的，选D。
3. 第3题：第三段中“engage”的语境是VR体验能吸引孩子、让他们投入学习，字典释义①“to draw one's attention and keep him interested”符合该语境，选A。
4. 第4题：第三段介绍了VR体验能让孩子在安全环境体验真实场景、是有价值的学习工具、能让孩子认识到自身在防火中的作用等，这些都是该VR体验的优势，选B。
5. 第5题：A选项：原文表明孩子在家防火的作用不应被低估，该选项错误；B选项：VR体验针对10-12岁孩子，并非高中生，错误；D选项：是67%的孩子认为自己太小，不是91%，错误；C选项与原文“Well-designed VR can provide children with surprisingly valuable learning tools”表述一致，正确。
