14、 ， how it is produced and used，and especially teaching the deaf how to use it ，young Alexander Graham Bell grew up with his father s such strong feelings ”可知， Bell 伴著父親的這種強烈的感情長大， 再根據(jù)第三段中提到的 Bell 教聾人說話可知， Bell 的父親應(yīng)是熱衷于人類的聲音。故 D 項 “對感興趣，熱衷于 ”與畫線部分意義相近。答案： D5 What does the author say about Bell?A He m
