素养:思维品质 难度:中 用时:7分钟
Recently, a research on how a new virtual reality(VR 虚拟现实) experience taught children about the fire disasters was done. The new VR experience was developed to teach children how to be safe in a fire. It offers a situation to children aged 10-12. In the situation, they need to look after a friend’s dog just before a fire event begins. They solve a set of problems to help save and protect themselves and the dog.
The findings showed that over 80% of children could tell the advantages and disadvantages of different choices with a cool head. They also learned to make good decisions to protect themselves from a fire. Children thought it especially important and meaningful.
The researchers believed that 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 yet within the safe environment... Children don’t need to be always waiting for help in disasters. With these VR experiences, we can
make children understand the risks and know that they can help,” said one of the researchers.

1. B 细节理解题。
解题图式
明题意
本题问的是“新型虚拟现实体验的目的”。
寻线索
根据第一段中的“The new VR experience was developed to teach children how to be safe in a fire”可知,新型虚拟现实体验旨在教孩子们如何在火灾中保证安全。
定答案
故答案为B。
2. A 词义猜测题。根据画线词后的“As children born in modern times, they are interested in such technology”可知,现代出生的孩子对新型虚拟现实体验技术感兴趣。由此可推知,画线词所在句是说,研究人员相信新型虚拟现实体验能够吸引、教育年轻人,并能给予他们力量,故engage在此处意为“吸引”,含义同①,故选A。
