Until recently, blind and visually impaired students in Kenya were still using Braille books for then-studies. But Kenyan schools for the blind are now beginning to adopt technology that provides material in an audible form—and in the process expands their opportunities.
Lucas Mwanzia, 17, intently searches the internet for information. Today’s class is on biology. Mwanzia is visually impaired and for the last two years has been attending computer classes at the Thika School for the Blind. Mwanzia is in eighth grade, having started school at a later age because of his vision. He says the technology has opened up new frontiers that were once inaccessible.
[23] "Braille books are quite expensive and you have to use quite a sum to purchase one," Mwanzia explained. [23] "But now since we have computers we get the books at virtually no cost. So we download the various books to read and when we are done we just close the program."
The school embraced "assistive technology" six years ago, enabling blind and visually-impaired students to access information from computers and iPads.
Zachary Muasya, one of the school’s teachers, was born blind. He has been teaching the students how to use the technology for about two years now.
He says the technology presents opportunities that can level the playing field for his students.
[24] "Assistive technology equips the learners with very many skills that really make them independent in life." he said, "they can read materials like books, magazines, newspapers by themselves. And apart from that—assistive technology equips them with employable skills."
The assistive technology costs $1,000 for a school to install. But an NGO called InAble has provided it to the schools at no cost.
Peter Okeyo, the program manager at InAble, says blind students using the technology may still face challenges when they move to higher education.
[25] "When learners move from primary to high school and then to universities, they go to university and then they realize there is not that technology. So the fact is that they learnt that technology in primary and high school, when they move to university they go back to Braille, which is another challenge to them."
So far, four out of Kenya’s 11 schools for the blind have adopted the technology. InAble says it will provide the funding for the remaining schools to come on board.
23. What do we learn about Mwanzia?
24. What does Muasya say about the assistive technology?
25. What challenges may the technology users face?
选项
A、They might have difficulty moving to higher education.
B、They are not provided with the technology in university.
C、They have no chance to learn the technology in university.
D、They are required to use Braille instead of the technology.
答案
B
解析
选项以They开头,大部分选项是否定句式,推测问题会就某事物的局限或困难提问。录音提到,大学里没有这套技术设备,所以他们需要重新使用盲文书,这是个挑战。因此B项“大学没有为他们提供这项设备”是正确答案。让他们感到困难的不是上大学,而是上大学后没有辅助设备,A项不符合录音内容。他们在小学和中学已经学过这项技术,大学里是没有设备,而不是没有机会学这个技术,C项错误。大学生是因为大学里没有设备而必须用盲文书,而不是大学要求他们不用这项技术,D项错误。
