Question

【题目】 Mickey, Minnie, Donald Duck, and more Disney characters have one thing in common—gloves. Although there are many surprising facts about Disney's most famous characters, putting gloves on animation(动画）characters is a pretty change.

The answer to why so many characters wear gloves is that animation is a very hard process. It takes time and precision(精确）to create the characters you know and love. Animators wanted to make their job a little easier and faster with a few methods and skills. One of these methods and skills was using round edges(边缘）instead of angles(棱角）. So this also meant keeping features(特征）simpler, such as hands, to make the animation process quicker.

In the age of black and white cartoons, separating characters' round-edge hands from their black bodies was hard. Gloves were an easy way to make their hands stand out. In fact, Walt Disney might have been the first one to put gloves on his characters. Once animation moved away from black and white, Mickey and his friends kept their features, white gloves.

Besides keeping the animation simple, Walt Disney told the New York Times that the gloves exist(存在）for another reason: to humanize the mouse. "We didn't want him to have mouse hands because he was supposed to be more human, we gave him gloves. But five fingers seemed like too much on such a little character, so we took away one. That was just one less finger to animate"—this nostalgic Disney talk makes us want to go back and look at these wonderful photos of Mickey Mouse.

【2】词句猜测题。分析“That was just one less finger to animate"—this nostalgic Disney talk makes us want to go back and look at these wonderful photos of Mickey Mouse.”可知，这个怀旧的迪斯尼主题让我们想要回到过去，看看这些精彩的米老鼠照片。所以推测此处表示“怀旧的”。故选B。
