f the “2022 mst beautiful teachers”— an annual public award spnsred by the Publicity Department f the Cmmunist Party f China Central Cmmittee and the Ministry f Educatin.
Li has std ut by taking the lead in the training f students in vcatinal skills, gaining a
number f hnrs including being named as a natinal rle mdel teacher. He has mentred (指导) seven natinal-level technique experts and a team f 14 technique masters. One f his students, Gu Jinpeng, wh graduated frm the institute in 2007, became a cllege teacher at the ChengduAut Vcatinal and Technical Schl and was named as a natinal rle mdel teacher in 2019.
Li’s nminatin (提名) as ne f the “2022 mst beautiful teachers” reflects that China is fcusing n the imprtance f vcatinal educatin and aims t fster (培养) mre leading persnnel with the spirit f craftsmanship in the manufacturing industry.
At an internatinal vcatinal and technical educatin cnference in Tianjin last mnth, Li nted that there is n difference between vcatinal educatin and rdinary educatin, and vcatinal educatin is nt secndary nr shuld it ever be treated as less than rdinary educatin. “Vcatinal educatin has the missin f fstering a quality wrkfrce and technical experts fr the cuntry. The hardwrking spirit is the key t building any rdinary peple int leading persnnel,” he said.
Li jined the institute in 1993 and later funded a machinery engineering practice center,
prviding free training t 7,500 peple a week. In 2015, he led a team f teachers t wrk fr 40 days t repair 124 machine tls in the center. Li has devted himself t building the cuntry’s first additive manufacturing technique and applicatin center at the institute t satisfy the thirst fr the cuntry’s human resurces in 3D printing.
Why des the authr mentin Gu Jinpeng in paragraph 2?
T make a cmparisn with Li Jiangu.
T publicize natinal rle mdel teachers.
T praise natinal-level technique experts.
T shw the achievements f Li Jiangu.

It shuld develp qualified and skilled talents.
It has nthing t d with hardwrking spirit.

What is the best title fr the text?
China Spnsring Annual Award fr Teachers
China Aiming t Develp Mre Leading Persnnel
A Vcatinal Teacher t Be Awarded as One f the “Mst Beautiful Teachers”
Different Educatin Training Different Kinds f Students
C
Husing fficials say that lately they are nticing smething different: students seem t lack
the will, and the skill, t address rdinary cnflicts. “We have students wh are mad at each ther and they text each ther in the same rm,” says a teacher. “S many f ur cnflicts are because kids dn’t knw hw t tackle a prblem by frmal discussin.”
And as any pp psychlgist will tell yu, bttled emtins lead t silent discntent that can
bil ver int frustratin and anger. At the University f Flrida, emtinal cnflicts ccur abutnce a week, the university’s directr f husing educatin says. “Over the past five years,
rmmate cnflicts have increased. The students dn’t have the persn-t-persn discussins and they dn’t knw hw t handle them.” The prblem is mst dramatic amng freshmen; husing prfessinals say they see imprvement as students mve tward graduatin, but sme never seem t catch n, and they wrry abut hw such students will deal with cnflicts after cllege.
Administratrs guess that reliance n cell phnes and the Internet may have made it easier fr
yung peple t avid uncmfrtable encunters. Why express anger in persn when yu can vent
in a text? “Things are psted n smene’s wall n Facebk like: Oh, my rmmate kept me up all night studying,” says Dana Pysz, an assistant directr at the University f Califrnia, Ls
Angeles. “It’s a different way t express their cnflict t each ther, cnsequently creating even
mre cnflicts as cmplaints g public.” In recent fcus grups at Nrth Carlina State University, drm residents said they wuld nt even cnfrnt nisy neighbrs n their flr.
Administratrs pint t parents wh have fixed their children’s prblems in their entire lives.
Nw in cllege, the children lack the skills t attend t even mdest cnflicts. Sme parents cntinue t interfere n campus.
What is the main reasn fr many rmmate cnflicts?
Students are nt gd at reaching an agreement abut the prblems.
Students are nt satisfied with each ther.
Husing directrs are nt respnsible fr them.
Students are nt strng-willed.
What d we learn frm the secnd paragraph?
Students, especially freshmen, shuld bttle up their dissatisfactin.
Students in Flrida sit dwn and have a persn-t-persn talk nce a week.
Nt all students are able t handle cnflicts by the time they graduate.
The number f cnflicts amng rmmates has decreased in the past five years.
What is the attitude f Dana Pysz when he mentins rmmates reveal their cnflicts in the media?
A. Disapprval. B. Indifference. C. Empathy. D. Desperatin.
31. What shuld parents d accrding t the passage?
They shuld be invlved in their children’s life n campus.
They shuld deal with their children’s prblems in their whle lives .
They shuld cnstantly cntact the administratrs f the cllege.
They shuld teach their children the skills t tackle the cnflicts.

Tw years ag, enrmus fires swept thrugh sme 46 millin acres f frest in Russia, the cuntry’s wrst fire seasn n recrd. Nw, researchers have a clearer sense f just hw significant
the 2021 breal (北方的) frest fires were in terms f emissins. The fires prduced mre
planet-heating carbn dixide than any ther extreme fire event that has ccurred since the turn f the 21st century, accrding t a study.Breal frests grw where it is very cld. The trees that live in this type f frest grw slwly
and seal (封存) carbn in their trunks and rts fr hundreds f years, cmprising a cllectin f trapped emissins that researchers call a carbn sink. But rising temperatures and related drught in
these histrically cl regins have led t an increase in extreme wildfire activity and threaten t
release the carbn stred in the trees that grw there, transfrming a carbn sink int a carbn surce.
In all, fires in breal frests released the carbn sink and prduced nearly half a billin metric
tns f carbn in 2021. That’s mre carbn than the entire cntinent f Australia prduced the same year, thugh sme f the emissins prduced by the fires will be sucked back up as frests regrw. The researchers btained the data fr their study by tracking cncentratins f emissins in the atmsphere using satellites, and then they put that infrmatin int a cmputer mdel t determine
where, gegraphically, thse emissins came frm. They fund that breal frests, which typically
prduce abut 10 percent f the glbe’s annual wildfire emissins, accunted fr 23 percent f the wrld’s wildfire emissins in 2021 — mre than twice as much as nrmal.
Canadell, wh led the study, is mst cncerned abut the study’s main takeaway; Breal
frests have served an imprtant and underappreciated rle in sequestering carbn emissins, but climate change threatens t release that carbn. “We need t be very careful with these systems in terms f their future develpment.” he said.
What is the functin f paragraph 2?
T indicate the seriusness f the fire.
T illustrate tw scientific cncepts.
T explain the surce f carbn.
T shw the imprtance f breal frests.
Hw did the scientists get needed data?
By searching n the website. B. By emplying technlgy.
C. By analyzing previus data. D. By turning t the firefighters.
What des the underlined wrd “sequestering” in paragraph 5 prbably mean?
Stpping. B. Increasing. C. Mnitring. D. Assessing.
What is mainly talked abut in the text?
The reasns fr the frest fires in the nrth.
The impact f the 2021 breal frest fires.
The link between fires and carbn dixide.
The increasingly grwing carbn emissins.

It was a lazy Sunday mrning, the type f day that getting ut f bed requires an effrt. When Marilyn and I entered the kitchen, Lri was already at the table ding her hmewrk. Seeing us cming, she, suddenly, std and faced me, “Why are there mre pictures f Lisa than there are f me?” she asked. Lisa is ur lder daughter.
I stared back, nt understanding the questin. Lri turned and left the rm. Caught ff-guard
by the questin, I lked at Marilyn. “Are there mre pictures f Lisa than f Lri?” Marilynshrugged and raised her eyebrws in a mtin f puzzlement. “Are yu aware that there are mre pictures f Lisa than Lri?” I added.
Marilyn said, “I’ve never cunted them. I dn’t knw.”
Marilyn’s answer was the same as my thughts, “I hadn’t realized that there was any significant difference. Nw why wuld Lri ask such a questin?” I asked.
Marilyn just shk her head and stared back at me. After a few minutes f thught she said,
“When Lisa was brn, yu were taking phtgraphs. Yu hardly went anywhere withut a camera.
When Lri was brn, yu were invlved in clred slides (幻灯片). There must be hundreds f slides f Lri smewhere in the huse that Lri has never seen r desn’t remember.”
After digesting Marilyn’s remarks, I agreed. “After Lri leaves, we’ll lk fr thse slides.
Wh knws, we may find mre slides f Lri than pictures f Lisa,” I jked.
Later that afternn, when we were alne, we went int the basement where we had stred the bxes that we had brught frm ur previus hme. It wasn’t lng befre we discvered the trays f slides, and fr the rest f the afternn we lked at each tray, pinting ut thse slides that highlighted Lri.
“What are yu ging t d?” Marilyn asked.
“It’s her birthday in a few weeks,” I said, “We’ll select abut ne hundred slides with Lri and cnvert them int pictures, put them int an album and give t her as a gift. I dn’t knw if the
album will answer her questin, but at least she’ll knw that we care enugh t find her an answer.”
