Question

Last year, a special kind of glove came out. It was invented to help bind people to learn Braille,which is a special system for the blind to read by touching. Shaking motors (震动马达) are put on each finger of the glove. They can make different sounds to tell a user which letter he is touching.Recently, two British college students have invented another special glove for the blind. It can make the user feel small and quick movements. An ultrasonic sensor(超声波传感器)with a battery is put on the back of the glove. When the user wearing the glove is close to an object（物体）, ultrasonic waves( 超声波)from the glove are sent out  (发出). As soon as they hit the object in front,  the waves will return to the glove. Then the waves cause the glove to shake. And the ultrasonic sensor makes different kinds of sounds. The sounds make the user know how far he is from the object.

In the college invention competition, the two students got first prize and won 1,540 pounds. One of the designers said, "Now the ultrasonic sensor on the glove is quite large. We're going to use the money to develop a smaller and lighter ultrasonic sensor."

【解析】

试题分析：短文大意：该文介绍了两种特殊的手套。这两种特殊手套的发明都是为了帮助盲人。他们是特殊的盲人阅读系统。

1.1】A词义猜测题。根据which is a special system for the blind to read by touching. Shaking motors (震动马达) are put on each finger of the glove.可推知Braille的意思是盲文，所以该选A。

2.2】B细节理解题。根据It can make the user feel small and quick movements. An ultrasonic sensor(超声波传感器)with a battery is put on the back of the glove.可知这种带超声波传感器的手套可以让用户感觉到小而快的动作。所以该选B。

3.3】C细节理解题。根据短文的描述结合图画可知该选C。

4.4】C细节理解题。根据第一段中Last year, a special kind of glove came out. It was invented to help bind people to learn Braille,which is a special system for the blind to read by touching. Shaking motors (震动马达) are put on each finger of the glove.可知发明带震动马达的手套是为了帮助盲人，所以该选C。

5.5】B标题归纳题。细读短文可知本文介绍了两种特殊的手套，所以该选B。
