Lai Lei, a reading ambassador in Rongjiang County, Guizhou, often shares how reading has completely changed her life with local craftsmen. She once said reading gave her the courage to see the bigger world and encouraged her to return home to follow her beloved traditional craft career.

It is this craft that connects her deeply to her homeland. Guizhou is home to 17 ethnic groups with rich traditional skills. These time-honored crafts improve local rural development. Rongjiang is famous for its popular Village Super League, which shows local ethnic culture through folk performances and handcrafted prizes. The cow-shaped batik (蜡染) dolls for winners are designed by Lai Lei, helping local ethnic culture gain wider attention.

Lai’s life is truly inspiring. She could not speak standard Mandarin until 14 and finished college thanks to donations from villagers. In 2003, Dong cloth weaving, dyeing and embroidery became national intangible cultural heritage. To save the disappearing craft, she quit her job in Shenzhen and returned home. However, the path was not smooth. After failing to get international orders in 2015, she studied books and did countless experiments. Finally, she created the unique “24 Solar Terms indigo dyeing” technique and set domestic industry standards.

Now, she promotes mobile reading to help local students form good habits. She believes reading is a bridge connecting rural villages to the outside world, and that true reading lies in combining knowledge with practice to revitalize (使复苏) traditional crafts.、

1.1. How did reading change Lai Lei’s life?

A It helped her find a better job.

B It gave her strength and purpose.

C It brought her money for college.

D It taught her skills in batik.

解析：选B。B 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“reading gave her the courage to see the bigger world and encouraged her to return home to follow her beloved traditional craft career”可知，阅读给予了她勇气，也让她坚定投身传统手艺的目标，对应选项B（阅读给予她力量和方向）。文中未提及阅读帮她找更好的工作、为大学赚取费用，也没有说阅读教会她蜡染技艺，因此A、C、D三项错误。故选B。

2.2. What does “this craft” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A Dong traditional craft.

B The reading habit.

C Making batik dolls.

D The village league.

解析：选A。A 词义猜测题。根据第一段中“follow her beloved traditional craft career”及第三段她回乡挽救侗族织布、染布、刺绣等手艺可知，“this craft”指代她热爱的侗族传统手艺。选项B、D与手艺无关；选项C制作蜡染玩偶只是其手艺的一部分，指代片面，故排除。故选A。

3.3. Why did Lai Lei return home from Shenzhen?

A To design dolls.

B To pay others back.

C To protect tradition.

D To become famous.

解析：选C。C 细节理解题。根据第三段“To save the disappearing craft, she quit her job in Shenzhen and returned home”可知，她返乡是为了挽救濒临消失的传统手艺、保护传统文化，对应选项C。设计玩偶是她返乡后的工作内容，并非返乡原因；文中没有提到返乡是为了报答他人或是成名，因此A、B、D错误。故选C。

4.4. What can be inferred from Lai Lei’s failure in 2015?

A She gave up global trade then.

B She learned from her mistakes.

C She got help from villagers.

D She started promoting reading.

解析：选B。B 推理判断题。由第三段“After failing to get international orders in 2015, she studied books and did countless experiments”可推断，遭遇失败后她不断学习、反复尝试，从失误中总结经验、继续努力，对应选项B。文中没有体现她放弃外贸、获得村民帮助；推广阅读是她后期的做法，和2015年的失败无关，故A、C、D三项不符合文意。故选B。

5.5. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?

A Mobile reading is harmful to students.

B Traditional crafts are more important.

C Students must leave their villages.

D Reading connects learning with action.

解析：选D。D 主旨大意题。本段讲述赖蕾推广移动阅读，并点明真正的阅读是知行合一、以知识实践助力传统手艺复兴，对应选项D。A与原文相悖，B、C曲解文意，均排除。故选D。
