问题    When the first white man arrived in Samoa, they found blind men, who could see well enough to de- scribe things in detail just by holding their hands over objects. In France, just after the First World War , Jutes Romaine tested hundreds of blind people and found a few who could tell the different light and dark. In Italy the neurologist Cesare Lomrose discovered a blind girl who could "see" with the tip of her nose and the lobe of her left ear. In 1956 a blind schoolboy in Scotland was taught to differentiate between colored lights and learned to pick out bright objects several feet away. In 1960 a medical board examined a girl in Virginia and found that, even with thick bandages over her eyes, she was able to distinguish different colors and read short sections of large print.
   Rose Kuleshova can see with her fingers. She is not blind, but because she grew up in a family of blind people she learned to read Braille to help them and then went on to teach herself to do other things with her hands. The neurologist Shaefer made an intensive study with her and found that , securely blindfolded with only her arms stuck through a screen, she could differentiate among three primary colors. To test the possibility that the cards reflected heat differently, he heated some and cooled others without affecting her response to them. He also found that she could read newsprint and sheet music under glass, so texture was giving her no clues. Tested by the psychologist Novomcisky, she was able to identify the color and shape of patches of light projected on to her palm or on to a screen. In rigidly controlled tests, with a blind- fold and a screen and a piece of card around her neck so wide that she could not see round it, Rose read the small print in a newspaper with her elbow. And, in the most convincing demonstration of all, she repeated these things with someone standing behind her pressing hard on her eyeballs. Nobody can cheat under this pressure; it is even difficult to see clearly for minutes after it is released. [br] Why did Shaefer put the paper under glass?
选项 A、To make things as difficult as possible.
B、To stop the reflection of heat.
C、To prevent Rose from feeling the print.
D、To stop her from cheating.
答案 C
解析 把报纸置于玻璃下是因为Rose以前学过盲文，手感强，这样做可增大测试的难度，不让其触摸到报纸，并不是因为玻璃能隔热，也不是害怕她欺骗。
