A deaf and blind woman from Australia has become the first person to make a telephone call using a device that converts speech into Braille. Braille is a form of writing that uses raised dots on a surface that can be ’’read’’ by touching it. The Braille telephone system is being tested for the first time in Australia and the United States. One test involved a simple phone call between two sisters. Michelle Stevens is deaf and blind. Ms. Stevens says the braille telephone will end years of feeling isolated, or feeling alone and apart from others. She is one of five Australians who is taking part in the new trials, or tests. These trials will take place at about the same time in Australia and the United States, where the technology was developed.
The Braille telephone system, she said, will be a great help to her and others. Ms. Stevens told VOA’s Phil Mercer that this telephone system will be one way to break the isolation of deaf-blindness. She adds that with future developments, the phone system might be able to give deaf-blind people more job opportunities. Not being able to communicate in the office or on the telephone is a major employment barrier for people who are deaf-blind said Ms. Stevens. However, the phone system is expensive. It costs about $ 2,500.
A similar trial will also take place in the United States in a few months. Christopher Engelke is a director with the U. S. company Ultratec. He will carry out the trial in the U. S. Mr. Engelke says the Braille phone system is an exciting project. ’’The way that the whole system works is a deaf, or hard of hearing person, who speaks for themselves, would use the phone just like any other phone, except that much like getting subtitles on your TV, you get subtitles or captions to the conversation appearing on the screen, although for a Braille user they could read those captions in Braille bumps on a dynamic Braille display. So they would listen to as much as they can, speak with their own voice and then read everything that is being said to them by reading the Braille on the phone itself. ’’Mr. Engelke explains that vision-impaired people would listen to as much as they can, speak with their own voice and read everything that is being said to them from the Braille bumps on the phone.
20. Who is more likely to buy the braille telephone?
21. What does Ms. Stevens say about the Braille telephone?
22. Who is Christopher Engelke?
选项

B、It will be one way to break the isolation of deaf-blindness.
C、It cannot give deaf-blind people job opportunities.
D、It isn’t expensive.
答案

解析
选项是以代词 It 开头的,是关于它怎么样的。题目问的是 Ms. Stevens讲了关于盲文电话的什么。文中提到 Ms. Stevens 说这个电话系统是打破聋盲人隔离的一种方式。由此可知,答案为B)。
