Question

17．When Jeff Sparkman draws his cartoon superheroes with colored pencils，he often has to ask other people to tell him what color his masked men turned out to be because he's color-blind．Now，a new smart phone application （app） can help him figure out what colors he's using and how the picture looks to most everyone else．
The DanKam app，available for iPhone and Android for 2.99dollars，is an application that turns the vague colors that one percent of the population with color-blindness sees into the"true"colors as everyone else sees them．In America，an estimated 32 million color-blind Americans-95% are males-can soon have their life improved．
"DanKam takes the stream of data coming in through the phone's camera and changes the colors slightly so they fall within the range that people who are color-blind see，"developer Dan Kaminsky told CNET．He came up with the idea after watching the 2009film Star Trek with a color-blind friend．
It was then that he got to know more about colorblindness like its varying types and degrees．A vast majority，for instance，have trouble seeing red or green due to a genetic defect（遗传缺陷）．Blue-yellow colorblindness，however，is rarer and develops later in life because of aging，illness or head injuries，etc．He started experimenting with one of the most common representations of points in the RGB color model．What the DanKam app attempts to do is to clean up the color space of the image or video signal so that colors can be visible to those suffering from viewing problems．"You can adjust the app to fit your needs．There is a range and not everyone who is color-blind sees things the same．"Says Kaminsky．
Sparkman，a copy editor at CNET，tried out the app and was pleased with the results．"It would be useful for dressing for a job interview，"he said．But using it for his art is"the most practical application．"It worked well on LED and other lights on electronic gadgets，which means Sparkman can now identify the power light on his computer display as green．

61．According to the first two paragraphs，we can know that DanKamA．
A．is designed to help people with colorblindness
B．can turn vague colors into real ones
C．is a phone used to help drawing pictures  
D．appeared in the movie Star Trek

A．It puts LED and other lights on electronic gadgets．
B．It shows common representations of points in the RGB color model
C．It checks color-blind people's types of degrees of colorblindness．
D．It changes the colors so that color-blind people can see them．
63．It can be inferred from the passage that colorblindnessB．
A．cannot be cured by any methods   
B．is not necessarily inborn disease
C．is more commonly seen in women

Answer 1

分析 本文主要介绍了一种能够帮助色盲患者识别颜色的应用软件以及人们对于这种应用软件的看法．DanKam 应用程序给不同程度的色盲患者带来了很大的帮助．

解答 61．A 细节理解题．根据第一段中的"Now，a new smart phone application （app） canhelp him figure out what colors he's using and how the picture looks to mosteveryone else．"（一种新的智能手机程序能够帮助他弄清楚他正在使用的颜色以及这种颜色在多数看来是怎么样的）和第二段中的"The DanKam app…is an application that turns the vague colors thatone percent of the population with color-blindness sees into the‘true'colors aseveryone else sees them．"（DanKam是一种应用程序，它能把人口中百分之一有色盲症状的人看到的模糊颜色转变成在正常人看起来的"真正"颜色）可知，DanKam 是用来帮助有色盲症的人们．"is designed to help people with colorblindness"符合语境．故选A．
62．D 细节理解题．根据第三段中的"DanKam takes the stream of data coming inthrough the phone's camera and changes the colors slightly so they fall withinthe range that people who are color-blind see"可知，DanKam先采集了来自手机摄像头的颜色数据，然后稍微改变了下，这样颜色就变成了有色盲的人看到的状态．"It changes the colors so that color-blind people can see them"符合语境．故选D．
63．B 推理判断题．根据第四段中的"Blue-yellow colorblindness，however，israrer and develops later in life because of aging，illness or head injuries，etc．"可知，蓝黄色盲症是少见的，是在生活中后天形成的，原因有衰老、疾病或头部受伤等．"is not necessarily inborn disease"（并非一定是先天疾病）符合语境．故选B．
64．D  词义猜测题． visible to thosesuffering from viewing problems．句意为这个应用软件试图去做的事是清理图片或是视频信号中的颜色以至于颜色对于那些有视力问题的人是可见的．可以推断出该应用软件是为那些有视力问题的人设计的，那么它的作用就是让他们能看见，所以该词的意思是可见的．故选D．
65．B 推理判断题．根据最后一段中的"It would be useful for dressing for a job interview"可知，DanKam 能帮助他选衣服；根据"usingit for his art is"the most practical application"可知，DanKam能帮助他画画；根据"Itworked well on LED and other lights on electronic gadgets"可知，针对LED屏的显示及电子产品发出其他的光，DanKam效果良好．"Playing computer games"文中没有提到，符合语境．故选B．
