When the first white men arrived in Samoa, they found blind men, who could see well enough to describe things in detail just by holding their hands over objects. In France, Jules Romaine tested hundreds of blind people and found a few who could tell the difference between light and dark. He narrowed their photosensitivity(感光灵敏度) down to areas on the nose or in the finger tips. 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.
Rosa Kuleshova, a young woman in the Urals, 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(盲文) to help them and then went on to teach] herself to do other things with her hands. She was examined by the Soviet Academy of Science, and proved to be genuine. A scientist made an intensive study with her and found that, securely blindfolded with only her arms stuck through a screen, she could tell the difference between 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 under glass, so texture was giving her no clues. She was able to identify the colors and shape of patches of light projected on to her palm or on to a screen. In rigidly controlled tests, with a blindfold and a screen and a piece of card around her neck so wide that she could not see round it, Rosa 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.

答案

解析
本题是语意辨析题。本题是对第一句的语意辨析。此句的主句是:they found blind men,从句who could...objects是一个定语,修饰 blind men。弄清这一点之后就不会把see理解为(用眼)看到,因为盲人不可能用眼看到什么,否则,他们就不会被称作"盲人"了。just by...objects部分可以看作是修饰see的状语。该句可译作:当第一批白人来到萨摩亚群岛(位于南太平洋)时,他们见到一些盲人,这些盲人只将手放在物体上就可以清楚地"看到"(实际意为:明白,理解)并详尽地描述它们。
