阅读短文,从文后所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
Technology has greatly improved the performance of modern athletes. They use modern equipment (装备) to help them run faster, jump higher and win more.
14. These shoes are made of special materials to reduce weight and provide better support. High technology is helping bicyclists, too. They ride bikes made of lightweight materials like carbon fiber(纤维). These bikes are built to reduce wind resistance(阻力) and help them ride faster and more smoothly. 15.
What's the future of smart sports equipment?
16. It uses sensors (传感器) to tell athletes what is going on in their bodies. These sensors are also able to tell how much energy they are using. One product in this development is a wearable
sensor. It tells runners when and how much they need to drink.
17. Coaches use computers, apps, and other smart tools to help athletes learn better skills. For example, some coaches use video analysis tools to study and improve their athletes' movements. Virtual reality (VR) has also become part of the training. It allows athletes to feel like they are competing in real matches, helping them prepare for possible challenges.
With technology, athletes can improve their performance and achieve amazing results. 18. The mix of hard work, talent, and smart tools helps athletes reach their best level.
A. A recent development is smart clothing.
B. Runners wear high-tech shoes to go faster.
C. Modern technology also improves training.
D. A small change in design can make a huge difference.
E. However, technology will never take the place of talent or hard work.
