Pupils remember more and behave better when 3D images are used in lessons, research suggests. They are quicker to learn and absorb new concepts, and display higher levels of concentration.
Professor Anne Bamford, of the University of the Arts, London, studied the effectiveness of 3D content in 15 schools across seven countries, including the UK. Pupils in 3D classes could remember more than those in the 2D classes after four weeks, improving test scores by an average 17 percent pared with eight percent for 2D lessons. They gave more detailed answers to the tasks and were more likely to think in 3D, using hand gestures and mime (模仿动作) to answer the test questions successfully.
The teachers mented that the pupils in the 3D groups had deeper understanding, increased attention span, more motivation and higher engagement in the lessons
Children are used to 3D with the rise of puter games that use the technology—90 percent of those in the study had seen a 3D film. Schools would need 3D-enabled projectors（投影仪）, laptops with good picture capabilities, 3D software and glasses for children to introduce animations (动作) into classrooms.
But Danny Nicholson, an educationist, said the technology would be impractical to use in schools and could be too expensive. He said,“While I think the idea of 3D technology is very interesting, I worry that 3D is a bit of an expensive gimmick (小玩意儿). There are a few cases where a true 3D image might help, but most of the time, good 2D models that can be moved , would be just so effective.”
In Colorado, the US, one school district is already in the process of having 1,000 3D projectors fixed in classrooms. And the University of Caledonia, which carries out scientific research into the Lake Tabon Basin, has used 3D presentations with Grade Six pupils. Those who watched the 3D presentations were more engaged and reported a general increase in their interest in science pared with students who watched the 2D version.

(答案→)D
解析：本文讲述了3D影响在教学中的应用，虽然有人提出反对意见，但研究表明了3D用于教学的有效性，提高了教学效果：提高了学生的记忆效果、理解能力和接受能力，而且在美国的科罗拉多州的一个学校已经投入使用。
【小题1】D 细节理解题。据第一段：当3D影像在课上使用时小学生们能够记得更多，表现更好，他们学的更快，接收新知识更快，更能集中精力。所以D正确。
【小题2】D 细节理解题。根据第四段前两句But Danny Nicholson, an educationist, said the technology would be impractical to use in schools and could be too expensive. He said,“While I think the idea of 3D technology is very interesting, I worry that 3D is a bit of an expensive gimmick (小玩意儿)得出D正确。
【小题3】A 细节判断题。根据最后一段第一句话In Colorado, the US, one school district is already in the process of having 1,000 3D projectors fixed in classrooms.得出A正确。
【小题4】D归纳总结题。通过通读全文，开篇第一段和最后一段更加突出点明中学内容，所以D正确。
【小题5】C 排除法根据全文内容得知这不是历史，也不是新闻，更不是学校报告，而是新科技在教学中的积极作用所以C正确
