21、It is three o’clock in the afternoon, yet there is not a single reader in the reading room of the Braille Library of China (BLC). However, the librarian on duty is quite busy: she keeps one eye on WeChat, while simultaneously checking another App for new messages, as well as standing ready to answer the phone that might ring at any time. All calls and messages come from visually impaired (受损的) people seeking that most essential of societal needs-access to knowledge.
Since its foundation in 1994, the BLC has operated a mailing service for the visually poor so that they can just write or pick up the phone to request the books they need, then wait at home for them to arrive. After finishing the books, they only need to attach a prepared address card to the mail bag that comes with the books, then put it in the mailbox. All are free of charge. This service has enabled many visually impaired people to achieve their dreams of learning at home without needing to travel to the library.
A smart listening device (设备), which looks like an old-fashioned cell phone, is another service the BLC offers to visually impaired people. The user just needs to press the buttons under the audio guidance to gain access to audiobooks stored on the BLC website, making access to literature for the visually impaired even easier. Also available is a screen-reading software. When the user operates a normal computer, the software will read out loud the information displayed, including image descriptions.
The BLC provides a unique service for fully sighted people, too. Inside its building there is a windowless room, about 20 square meters in size, which becomes totally dark when the doors are closed. Anyone can enter and explore the black room by touching the specially designed walls. It takes only eight minutes to experience, but provides visitors with a lifetime of gratitude for the eyesight with which they are blessed.
【1】What can we say about the mailing service from the second paragraph?
A．Cheap.
B．Convenient.
C．Common.
D．Complex.
【2】Why does BLC offer a black room for fully sighted people to explore?
A．To enrich their reading experience.
B．To show them the specially designed walls.
C．To teach them to adapt to dark environment.
D．To help them appreciate their normal vision.
【3】What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．Books Without Barriers
B．A New Kind of Library
C．BLC Providing Mailing Service
D．Devices for Visually Impaired People
22、American track and field athlete Jacqueline Joyner-Kersee once said, “Age is no barrier. It’s a limitation you put on your mind.” And 50-year-old Indian Lakyntiew Syiemlieh stands an evidence for this saying. She recently cleared her Class 12 board exams. Lakyntiew, who has four children and two grandchildren, decided to go after her higher secondary education over three decades after dropping out of school. Earlier this year, she was one of the 24,267 students who appeared for the state board’s Higher Secondary School Leaving Certificate (HSSLC) exam. Lakyntiew took part in the exams for the arts stream and had chosen subjects like Khasi, English, Political Science, Economics, and Education as her areas of specialization.
On July 13, 2020, when the results were announced, she was excited. “Though I only got the third division, my children were still so excited that they started shouting, hugging, and kissing me when the results were declared,” said Lakyntiew.
In fact, the grandmother of two has expressed her interest in pursuing higher studies in the field of local language. Lakyntiew took up a distance education course offered by a university in 2015. She stopped going to school because mathematics was too difficult for her to understand. She was offered a job to teach in a preschool in 2008, and that was the beginning of her love for re-learning.
Being the oldest student in the class, most of Lakyntiew’s classmates called her as “Mei”, which means “mother” in the local language. Besides concentrating on academics, she also participated in after-class activities like field trips, dance competitions, and singing challenges, among others.
Age is not a problem when one is in search of education. Lakyntiew Syiemlieh is an example for everybody, and especially for those who give up studies midway.
【1】When did Lakyntiew probably drop out of school?
A．In 1968.
B．In 1988.

D．In 1998.
【2】Which can best describe Lakyntiew’s performance at school?
A．Outstanding.
B．Reasonable.
C．Independent.
D．Active.
【3】Which of the following caused Lakyntiew to stop going to school?
A．She had too much difficulty in learning one subject.
B．Her family was too poor to afford her education.
C．She had many children to raise and had no time to study.
D．She was offered so good a job that she couldn’t refuse.
【4】What can we learn from Lakyntiew’s story?
A．Many hands make light work.
B．Education is the key to success.
C．Live and learn.
D．Hard work pays off.
23、Reading is the key to success. Apparently every successful person develops a passion for reading. This is because reading is a key element to obtain the information required to understand something. For instance: Lawyers have to study and learn every established law on heir(继承人)specific branches. Sometimes the law changes according to people's needs. A good lawyer has to be informed with the latest news in the court. A doctor has to be informed of the latest advances in medicine.
Reading is very important for all mankind. Everything is relative in this world, especially reading. Reading can open many doors and it can lead you into a path of success. Studies have confirmed that reading to your unborn child is very good. This way your child will develop a passion for reading later on.
How do you develop a passion for reading? There is only one way you can boost your passion for reading. Let me explain this to you. If you want to learn how to ride a bike, you have to get on the bike as many times as possible until you have learned. It works the same way with reading. If you want to boost your reading, take a book and read it all the way through. When you finish reading your first book, take another book and do the same. Try to read as much as you can. If you are going out, grab a magazine, a book, an article or something to read.
There is a very important factor behind the reading --reading comprehension. It’s what makes you understand the meaning behind the text. Let’s assume that you read a document and you are supposed to explain the meaning of the document. How would you explain the document if you couldn’t capture the message of the author?
