Butitwasa2018encounterwithadeafteenager—whodescribedmusicas“ablankspace”despitefeelingbassvibrationsatconcerts—thatsparkedhismission(但是2018年，他遇到了一位听障青少年，这位青少年尽管在音乐会上能感受到低音振动，却将音乐描述为“一片空白”，正是这次相遇激发了他的使命)”可知，是听障青少年对音乐的描述促使Helen研发这款触觉音效服。故选B项。【9题详析】词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“eachcalibratedtocapturedistinctsoundfrequencies:lowbassnotestriggergentlerumblingsinthewaistband,mid-rangemelodiespulseontheforearms,andhigh-pitchedharmoniescreatesubtlevibrationsneartheshoulders(每个传感器都经过calibrated，以捕捉不同的声音频率：低音音符会触发腰带处的轻微震动，中音旋律会在前臂产生脉冲感，高音和声则会在肩膀附近形成细微振动)”可知，传感器能精准对应不同频率的声音，说明其经过了“精心调整”。划线词与“Carefullyadjusted(精心调整)”同义。故选B项。【10题详析】推理判断题。根据第三段中MiaCarter的描述“Theviolin’svibratomovedupmyarmlikeabreath,andthecello’sbassmademychestfeelfull-likeIwashuggingthemusic(小提琴的颤音像呼吸一样顺着我的手臂向上蔓延，大提琴的低音让我的胸口感到充盈——就像在拥抱音乐)”可知，作者引用她的经历是为了直观展示这款服装给听障用户带来的情感冲击，让读者感受到产品的实际价值。故选D项。【11题详析】推理判断题。通读全文，结合第二段“Afterthreeyearsofresearchanddevelopment(R&D)and117prototypeiterations,HelenunveiledtheTactiSoundSuitin2021.Thelightweight,wearablesuitisembeddedwith24micro-vibrationsensors,each
