30、选C项。科普知识型阅读理解(一)-BA blind baby is doubly handicapped. Not only is it unable to see, but because it cannot receive the visual stimulus(刺激)from its environment that a sighted child does, it is likely to be slow in intellectual development. Now the tenmonthold son of Dr and Mrs Dennis Daughters is the
31、subject of an unusual psychological experiment designed to prevent a lag(滞后)in the learning process. With the aid of a sonartype electronic that he wears on his head, infant(婴儿) Dennis is learning to identify the people and objects in the world around him by means of echoes(回声)The device is an impro
32、vement of the “Sonicguide”， an instrument produced by Telesensory Systems, Inc., of Palo Alto, Calif, and used by blind adults in addition to a sane or guide dog. As adapted for Dennis, it consists of a batterypowered system about the size of a half dollar that is on a headgear. A transmitter sends
33、out an ultrasonic(超声的) pulse that creates an 80 degree cone of sound at 6 feet. Echoes from objects within the cone are perceived (felt) as sounds that vary in pitch(音调) and volume(音量) with the size and distance of the object.The closer an object is, the lower the pitch, and the larger the object, t
34、he louder the signal. Hard surfaces produce a sharp ping, while soft ones send back signals with a slightly fuzzy quality. An object slightly to the right of Dennis sends back a louder sound to his right ear than to the left. Thus, by simply moving his head right and left and up and down, he can not
35、 only locate an object but also get some notion of its shape and size, thanks to the varying qualities of sounds reaching his ears as the cone of ultrasound(超声波) passes its_edge. Dennis likes to use the device to play a kind of peekaboo with his mother. Standing on his knee and facing her directly,
36、he receives a strong signal in both ears. By turning his head away, he makes her seem to disappear. “From the first time he wore it，” says Mrs Daughters, “it was like a light going on in his head.”What remains to be determined is how well the device will help Dennis cope with his surroundings as he
37、begins to walk and venture further into his environment.Meanwhile, Telesensory, Inc., is working on the development of sonar(声呐) device with somewhat the same sensitivity as Dennis for use by schoolage children.1. Dr and Mrs Daughters research is directed to _Ahelping the blind to see and learn as w
38、ell as othersBbenefiting the learning process of blind childrenCsolving blind childrens psychological problemsDfinding out how children develop intellectually2. Infant Dennis becomes the subject of the experiment most probably because _Ahe already lags behind the sighted childrenBhe leads a life as
39、normal as any other childrenChe is at the early stage of the learning processDhe has the aid of a sonartype electronic device3. What can we learn about infant Dennis device?AIts the first design that was designed for blind adults.BIts battery is as small as a halfdollar coin.CIt is functionally simi
40、lar to a sane or guide dog.DIt has been improved by Telesensory Systems, Inc.4. In the third paragraph, “its edge” refers to “_”Athe edge of an objectBthe edge of the deviceCthe boundary of Dennis movementDthe boundary of the pitch5. What is Telesensory Systems, Inc. most likely to think about infan
41、t Dennis device?AIt had better be used by blind children from school age.BIt needs improving for use in a complicated environment.CIt may not be so suitable for the blind adults.DIt benefits blind children in terms of learning.【参考答案解析】B【要点综述】 本文主要介绍了一项针对盲童的学习过程的研究。1B首段第三句末的不定式“to prevent a lag(滞后) i
42、n the learning process”表明了Daughters夫妇研究的目的。另外，文章一开头就提到了本文讨论的重点是针对blind baby的，由此可见，选项B为本题答案。2C首段首句提到的a blind baby，第三句提到的tenmonthold和末句提到的infant等词都表明Dennis成为研究对象是因为Daughters夫妇研究的是盲童从小的学习过程，Dennis年龄很小，正处于学习的最初阶段，符合Daughters夫妇做研究的条件，因此选项C为本题答案。3A第二段首句中的improvement表明Dennis用的声呐定位仪是“Sonicguide”的改良版，也就是说“Sonicguide”是Dennis的声呐定位仪的原型。根据该句对其功能的描述可以确定选项A为本题答案。4A第三段第四句中的thanks to 表明此处解释了Dennis的声呐定位仪的运作机制，即通过声波描绘物体的形状，该句中the cone指的就是该定位仪，而its edge应指周围物体的边缘。当声波碰到物体的边缘时，就能通过声音描绘出物体的形状了，因此本题答案应为A。5D从末段末句中的schoolage children及句中的其他内容可以推断Telesensory 最可能认为Dennis的声呐定位仪有利于儿童的学习过程，因此选项D为本题答案。
