Question

【題目】 Some people think going to the gym takes time and effort, it often hurts, and it can be extremely boring.Most weight-related exercises are a combination of sets and reps(幾次幾組).In order to see any significant change from any one exercise,it will probably need to be repeated six to eight times, for a minimum of three sets, for about three months: Then there' s aerobics(有氧運動).For some, there's nothing more boring than endless miles spent running on a treadmill(跑步機).

But what if there is a way to reduce the boredom of exercise while still getting a good workout? Luckily for us, there’s virtual reality (VR).

“In the past, playing video games was a sedentary(久坐不動的) experience:,"says Jo Stauffer of the VR Heaitn-institute, but VR changes all of that.” Many, VR games are played while standing In order to play properly, the players are forced to move around swinging their arms or using their legs.After an hour of this on a regular enough basis, it's not surprising, that many people unexpectedly find themselves a little fitter .There are already a number of virtual reality games which, deliberately or not, result in their player “getting a good sweat on” if played for enough time.For example, there's a music game which forces players to shadow box(做空拳攻防練習) in order to hit the notes---that's an upper-body workout.

The benefit of VR has been noticed by one company.They want to take the whole experience into the gym. They are making a resistance machine, designed to be used in combination with a VR headset. Players challenge a virtual competitor in a series of games,which results in a 30-minute full-body workout.However, the cost of the equipment is expensive and there are safety concerns to be worked out, says J.P.Gownder from the consultancy Forrester.

Although it's early days, for those: of us who struggle to overcome the boredom of exercise,a new solution could be coming.And a world where a person can exercise and have fun at the same time might be something that many people would want-virtual or not.So don' t give up exercising.

這是一篇說明文。文章介紹“在健身房里進行的虛擬鍛煉”。對一些人來說，沒有什么比在跑步機上無休止地跑幾英里更無聊的了�！耙粋�人可以同時鍛煉和娛樂，不管是不是虛擬的”，這是人們所想要的。所以不要放棄鍛煉。

【1】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段“ Some people think going to the gym takes time and effort, it often hurts,and it can be extremely boring.Most weight-related exercises are a combination of sets and reps(幾次幾組).In order to see any significant change from any one exercise, it will probably need to be repeated six to eight times, for a minimum of three sets.for about three months.”可知,一些人認為去健身房需要時間和精力,經常會受傷,而且會非常無聊。大多數(shù)與體重有關的鍛煉是幾組練習和重復動作的組合。為了從任何一項運動中看出任何顯著的變化,它可能需要重復六到八次,至少三組,持續(xù)大約三個月。由此可推知,一些人認為去健身房鍛煉既艱難又累人。故選B項。

【2】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段第一句可知, Jo Stauffer認為過去玩電子游戲是一種久坐不動的經歷。再根據(jù)第三段“ Many VR games are played while standing.In order to play properly, the players are forced to move around swinging their arms or using their legs.After an hour of this on a regular enough basis, it's not surprising that many people unexpectedly find themselves a little fitter.:”可知,很多虛擬現(xiàn)實游戲都是站著玩的。為了玩好,玩家被迫走來走去,擺動他們的手臂或使用他們的腿。經常這樣玩一小時后,許多人意外地發(fā)現(xiàn)自己更健康一點并不奇怪。由此可推知,與電子游戲相比,虛擬現(xiàn)實游戲更可能給人們帶來健康的好處。故選C項。

【3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段“ However, the cost of the equipment is expensive and there are safety concerns to be worked out, says J.P.Gownder”可知,J,P.Gonder說設備的費用昂貴,且有一些安全問題有待解決。由此可看出對抗機器有缺點。故選B項。

【4】主旨大意題。文章第一段介紹一些人認為去健身房鍛煉使人筋疲力盡。第二、三段介紹了虛擬現(xiàn)實游戲可以減緩運動的無聊、活動人的全身,經常玩的話可以使人們更健康。第四段介紹了一家公司認識到了虛擬現(xiàn)實的好處,想將其引入健身館,正在研發(fā)一種對抗機器,使人們得到全身的鍛煉。文章最后一段勸誡人們不要放棄鍛煉。A項“在健身房進行虛擬鍛煉”適合作為文章的標題。故選A項。
