【W(wǎng)hat】本板塊的語篇是一段訪談文稿，對話雙方分別為科技雜志的編輯和虛擬現(xiàn)實(shí)領(lǐng)域的專家。專家首先向讀者介紹了虛擬現(xiàn)實(shí)的定義和原理；接著分別從教育、醫(yī)學(xué)及日常生活等方面探討了虛擬現(xiàn)實(shí)的實(shí)際運(yùn)用領(lǐng)域和發(fā)展前景；在客觀分析了阻礙虛擬現(xiàn)實(shí)技術(shù)發(fā)展的原因——時(shí)間、費(fèi)用及技術(shù)局限后，專家表示自己對虛擬現(xiàn)實(shí)的未來還是抱有樂觀態(tài)度的?！網(wǎng)hy】本板塊的語篇通過對虛擬現(xiàn)實(shí)這一新興科技的探討和分析，旨在幫助我們認(rèn)識虛擬現(xiàn)實(shí)技術(shù)的廣泛運(yùn)用，以及它將如何從方方面面改變?nèi)藗兊娜粘Ｉ睿屛覀兏惺芸萍紝ι町a(chǎn)生的深遠(yuǎn)影響，以積極的態(tài)度對待虛擬現(xiàn)實(shí)技術(shù)的快速發(fā)展?！魞?nèi)容分析

【How】本文的語篇類型為訪談文稿，通過科技雜志編輯和虛擬現(xiàn)實(shí)專家之間的對話展開全文。一方面，編輯的每個(gè)問題都起到開篇布局、承上啟下的作用，構(gòu)成了全文的主要框架，使讀者明白語篇的主要目的以及結(jié)構(gòu)特征；編輯輕松的語言風(fēng)格也使讀者能夠共享其對虛擬現(xiàn)實(shí)技術(shù)的贊許和好奇。另一方面，專家對問題的回答則為讀者提供了翔實(shí)的信息，既有專業(yè)的說理，又有生動(dòng)的例證，增強(qiáng)了文章的可信度和可讀性?！?教學(xué)目標(biāo)Bytheendofthissection,wewillbeableto:1.summarizetherelatedinformationaboutVR;2.giveexamplesoftheapplicationsofVR;3.describethefuturedevelopmentofVR.

聽起來VR有著許多具有建設(shè)性的應(yīng)用。那么，它在醫(yī)藥等高新技術(shù)產(chǎn)業(yè)的應(yīng)用如何呢？外科醫(yī)生已經(jīng)在借助VR和機(jī)器人技術(shù)完成復(fù)雜的外科手術(shù)。如果我告訴你，醫(yī)生可以先造出一個(gè)虛擬的“孿生病人”練習(xí)精密的手術(shù)，然后再在病人身上進(jìn)行實(shí)際操作呢？con·struct·ive

這項(xiàng)技術(shù)可以用來訓(xùn)練新晉外科醫(yī)生，也可以幫助專家在對人體進(jìn)行實(shí)驗(yàn)之前安全地測試新技術(shù)。焦慮和藥物成癮的治療則是另外一些具有價(jià)值且成本低廉的VR應(yīng)用。sub·ject/?s?bd??kt/接受試驗(yàn)者；實(shí)驗(yàn)對象cost-effective有最佳利潤的；有成本效益的；劃算的beappliedenablestotestsafelytryingsubjectsanxietyarevaluableSuSAN:Thatis1.________(amaze)!Itsounds2.____VRwillbe3.__life-changingtechnologyaswellasalife-savingone.Howwillitaffectthedifferentaspectsofoureveryday4._____(life),suchas5._____________(entertain),shoppingandtravelling?FRANk:Theentertainmentindustryisoneofthemostenthusiastic6._________(advocate)ofVR.這太驚人了！聽起來VR會(huì)是一種既能挽救生命又能改變生活的技術(shù)。對于娛樂、購物和旅行等日常生活的不同方面，它會(huì)帶來怎樣的影響呢？娛樂產(chǎn)業(yè)是最熱切追捧VR的行業(yè)之一。life-saving
