Question

【题目】 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(几次几组).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(有氧运动).For some, there's nothing more boring than endless miles spent running on a treadmill(跑步机).

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(久坐不动的) 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(做空拳攻防练习) 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.

【解析】

这是一篇说明文。文章介绍“在健身房里进行的虚拟锻炼”。对一些人来说，没有什么比在跑步机上无休止地跑几英里更无聊的了。“一个人可以同时锻炼和娱乐，不管是不是虚拟的”，这是人们所想要的。所以不要放弃锻炼。

【1】推理判断题。根据第一段“ 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(几次几组).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,一些人认为去健身房需要时间和精力,经常会受伤,而且会非常无聊。大多数与体重有关的锻炼是几组练习和重复动作的组合。为了从任何一项运动中看出任何显著的变化,它可能需要重复六到八次,至少三组,持续大约三个月。由此可推知,一些人认为去健身房锻炼既艰难又累人。故选B项。

【2】推理判断题。根据第三段第一句可知, Jo Stauffer认为过去玩电子游戏是一种久坐不动的经历。再根据第三段“ 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,很多虚拟现实游戏都是站着玩的。为了玩好,玩家被迫走来走去,摆动他们的手臂或使用他们的腿。经常这样玩一小时后,许多人意外地发现自己更健康一点并不奇怪。由此可推知,与电子游戏相比,虚拟现实游戏更可能给人们带来健康的好处。故选C项。

【3】推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“ 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说设备的费用昂贵,且有一些安全问题有待解决。由此可看出对抗机器有缺点。故选B项。

【4】主旨大意题。文章第一段介绍一些人认为去健身房锻炼使人筋疲力尽。第二、三段介绍了虚拟现实游戏可以减缓运动的无聊、活动人的全身,经常玩的话可以使人们更健康。第四段介绍了一家公司认识到了虚拟现实的好处,想将其引入健身馆,正在研发一种对抗机器,使人们得到全身的锻炼。文章最后一段劝诫人们不要放弃锻炼。A项“在健身房进行虚拟锻炼”适合作为文章的标题。故选A项。
