Question

If you want to see a thing well, touching can help you to “see” it better. Your eyes can tell you that a glass ball is round. But by holding it in your hands, you can feel how smooth and cool the ball is. You can feel how heavy the glass ball is. When you learn all these about the ball, you really see it well. With your skin, you can feel better. For example, your fingers can tell the differences between two different coins in your pocket. You can feel a little drop of water on the back of your hand, too. You can even feel sounds against your skin. Have you ever wanted to know why some people like very loud music？They must like to feel the sounds of music. All children soon learn what “Don't touch！” means. They hear it often. Yet most of us keep on touching things as we grow up. In shops, we touch things that we might buy. To see something well, we have to touch it. The bottoms of our feet can feel things, too. You know this when you walk on warm sand, cool grass or hard floor. All feel different under your feet.

Most museums are just for looking. But today some museums have some things to touch. Their signs say, “Do touch！” There you can feel everything on show.  There are ways of learning to see well by feeling. One way is to close your eyes and try to feel everything that is touching your skin. Feel the shoes on your feet, the clothes on your body and the air on your skin. If you want to see better, reach out and touch. Then you will really see!

【解析】本文主要介绍了在我们认识事物的过程中触觉和视觉之间的不同。如果我们想更深刻的了解某个事物，不仅要远观，而且还要近距离的触摸一下。儿童在成长的过程中听到的多是“不要触摸”但是他们对一些新鲜事物仍然用手去触摸，这种感觉是用视觉无法感悟到的。现在很多博物馆都允许游客触摸一些古物，这样才能真正的了解认识事物。

1.推理判断题。由第二段第一句 Your eyes can tell you that a glass ball is round，第二句 by holding it in your hands, you can feel how smooth and cool the ball is 和第三句 You can feel how heavy the glass ball is可知通过看和触摸就知道玻璃球是圆的，它多么的光滑和凉爽，它有多么重。A项意为“球是圆的”，B项意为“球是光滑清凉的”，C项“球是光滑。清凉而且很重的”，均不全面。故正确答案为D。

2.细节理解题。由第一段 If you want to see a thing well, touching can help you to "see" it better 可知，通过触碰事物，你可以对事物有更多的了解。A项意为“有一个很强烈的感觉”，B项意为“知道如何伸出你的手”，D项意为“说出事物真正的颜色”。均不符合题意。故正确答案为C。通过触摸，你可以更好的了解它。

3.细节理解题。根据短文中的句子“In shops, we touch things that we might buy. To see something well, we have to touch it.”可知，在商店购物时，人们常常触摸可能要买的东西，感觉一下它们的质量，故答案为D。

4.判断正误题。A. People don't have to learn to touch. 人们不需要学会触摸。短文主要介绍了触摸可以帮助人们更好地了解事物。故A答案错误；B. Our skin may help us enjoy music. 我们的皮肤可以帮助我们享受音乐。根据短文中的句子“Have you ever wanted to know why some people like very loud music？They must like to feel the sounds of music.”可知，人的皮肤能感受到音乐的声音，B答案正确；C. By touching things, we can learn more about them. 通过接触东西，我们可以更多地了解它们。根据文中句子“If you want to see better, reach out and touch. Then you will really see!”可知，通过伸手触摸，可以对事物有更多的了解，C答案正确；D. Most people touch things to see them well. 大多数人触摸东西是为了看得很清楚。根据短文中的句子“To see something well, we have to touch it.”可知，触摸东西是为了看得更清楚，D答案正确。

5.主旨大意题。由第一段 If you want to see a thing well, touching can help you to "see" it better 可知，本文开头就说明触摸可以帮助人们更好地了解事物。故D项符合题意。A项意为“通过看来感觉”，正好与文章主旨相反。B项“去看还是去触摸”，D项“触摸的方式”。均不符合文章主旨意思。故正确答案为C。
