问题     [A] It is also used to help students gain transition skills: Students with autism or developmental delay
can visit a virtual supermarket, take public transportation, cross the street, or organize his
or her day. Students in wheelchairs can learn how to navigate buildings. And the beauty is, these students can make any number of mistakes without endangering themselves.
    [B] For example, virtual reality has been used effectively to assess students’ depth perception, with the results being quite different from those obtained from traditional paper and pencil tests.
    [C] Then we gradually begin shrinking the sign and adding other environmental elements. Once the student has mastered this virtually, he or she transfers the knowledge to the real world. In the end, this is the most important function of virtual reality programs for special students.
    [D] Virtual reality even allows us to tailor the world to meet a child’s needs. Let’s say we’re teaching a child to cross the street by paying attention to traffic signs. Educators have found that it is often difficult for the child to locate the traffic sign in a busy environment. With virtual reality, we can blow up the "walk sign" so the student knows what it looks like.
    [E] And it is expected that future teachers will be exposed to virtual classes, complete with "difficult students" to help them master behavior management techniques.
    [F] In fact, one of the biggest virtues of virtual reality is that it allows students to learn in a safe environment, and this holds true for students with behavior disorders. After a student has learned an appropriate behavior or way of controlling his or her anger, the student is put in progressively more difficult virtual social situations where he or she can practice the new technique.
    [G] Some of today’s most cutting-edge technology is now being used to help students with special needs. No longer just the province of games for "video needs," virtual reality has come into its own as a tool for special education teachers and therapists. As such, it is used for assessment, teaching, and practice, according to Skip Rizzo, research assistant/professor at the University of Southern California.

选项

答案B

解析 文章首段即[C)段已经对“虚拟现实”在特殊教育中的功用作了简要综述,也就是用来进行“评估、教学和练习”,按照英美人通常的逻辑习惯,接下来应该对这些功用具体加以说明,而[A]段、[B]段、[D]段及[P]段开头的第一句话都体现了这一点,分别针对“虚拟现实”的某一方面功能进行介绍。其中,[B)段开头带有标志性的短语“For rexample”,首句中更提到了“对学生的纵深觉察能力进行评估”,对应了[C]段中“虚拟现实”的第一个功能即“评估”功能,因此,该题选B是毫无疑问的。
