Li Jianguo, a 49-year-old teacher at the Tianjin Vocational Institute, is set to be named as one of the “2022 most beautiful teachers”—an annual public award sponsored by the Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and the Ministry of Education.

Li has stood out by taking the lead in the training of students in vocational skills, gaining a number of honors including being named as a national role model teacher. He has mentored(指导) seven national-level technique experts and a team of 14 technique masters. One of his students, Guo Jinpeng, who graduated from the institute in 2007, became a college teacher at the Chengdu Auto Vocational and Technical School and was named as a national role model teacher in 2019.

Li’s nomination as one of the “2022 most beautiful teachers” reflects that China is focusing on the importance of vocational education and aims to foster(培养)  more leading personnel with the spirit of craftsmanship in the manufacturing industry.

At an international vocational and technical education conference in Tianjin last month, Li noted that there is no difference between vocational education and ordinary education, and vocational education is not secondary nor should it ever be treated as less than ordinary education. “Vocational education has the mission of fostering a quality workforce and technical experts for the country. The hardworking spirit is the key to building any ordinary people into leading personnel,” he said.

Li joined the institute in 1993 and later founded a machinery engineering practice center, providing free training t0 7,500 people a week. In 2015, he led a team of teachers to work for 40 days to repair 124 machine tools in the center. Li has devoted himself to building the country’s first additive manufacturing technique and application center at the institute to satisfy the thirst for the country’s human resources in 3D printing.

4．Why does the author mention Guo Jinpeng in paragraph 2?

A．To make a comparison with Li Jianguo.

B．To show the achievements of Li Jianguo.

C．To praise national-level technique experts.

D．To publicize national role model teachers.

B．It is not as good as ordinary education.

C．It should develop qualified and skilled talents.

D．It has nothing to do with hardworking spirit.

6．Which of the following best describes Li’s job at the institute?

A．Boring. B．Well-paid. C．Difficult. D．Creative.

7．What is the best title for the text?

A．China Sponsoring Annual Award for Teachers

C．Different Education Training Different Kinds of Students

D．A Vocational Teacher to Be Awarded as One of the “Most Beautiful Teachers”

Definitions of adult learning vary, but it is usually defined as all forms of learning undertaken by adults after having left initial education and training, however far this process may have gone.

Education and training are important factors for achieving the strategy objectives of raising economic growth, competitiveness and social inclusion. However, with some exceptions, the process of implementing education and training remains weak. Most education and training systems are still largely focused on the education and training of young people and limited progress has been made in changing systems to mirror the need for learning throughout the lifespan.

An additional 4 million adults would need to participate in lifelong learning. Recent research confirms the importance of investing in adult learning. The research on adults indicates that those who engage in learning are healthier, with a consequent reduction in healthcare costs.

The big economic challenge in Europe is to raise its growth and employment performance while preserving social cohesion(凝聚力). The rapid progress in other regions of the world shows the importance of creative, advanced and quality education and training as key factors of economic competitiveness. General levels of competence must increase, both to meet the needs of the labour market and to allow citizens to function well in today's society.

Europe is facing big demographic(人口的) changes that will have a major impact on society and on the economy and consequently on education and training provision and needs. Over the next 30 years, the number of younger Europeans will fall by 15%. One in three Europeans will be over 60 years old, and about one in ten will be over 80.

Given the challenges identified above, raising the overall level of skills of the adult population by offering more and better learning opportunities throughout adult life is important for both efficiency and equity reasons. Not only does lifelong learning help make adults more efficient workers and more active citizens, it also contributes to their personal well-being.

8．Which can replace the underlined word “implementing” in paragraph 2?

A．Carrying out.

B．Taking in.

C．Knowing about.

D．Looking over.

9．What can we learn from the research?

A．Adults have reduced healthcare costs.

B．Learning is good for adults’ health.

C．Few adults need to receive learning.

D．More research will focus on learning.

10．What problem does Europe face according to the text?

A．Europeans are not healthy.

B．Many old Europeans have died.

C．The European population is aging.

D．Young Europeans are out of work.

11．What does the author want to express in the last paragraph?

A．Lifelong learning is essential.

B．Raising adult population is significant.

C．We should help more efficient workers.

D．Work contributes to personal well-being.

Our screens give out all kinds of light, especially blue light. Blue light, the argument goes, can affect your eye health, your sleeping patterns, and your health. Blue light glasses—technically they should be called “blue light blocking glasses”— filter out (过滤) blue light, letting in the other wavelengths of light, thus theoretically reducing the danger that blue light presents. Blue light glasses are designed to reduce what’s known as digital eye strain (疲劳), or DES. There are many symptoms associated with DES, including headaches, dry eyes, and unclear vision.

How effective are blue light glasses? We’ll start with the bad news: there is no evidence that blue light glasses have any effect on eye strain from digital screens. In fact, one British glasses dealer was fined for indicating that blue light glasses can protect against DES, given that there’s no scientific evidence of this. What’s more likely is that DES is caused by overuse, or misuse of eyes. After all, the sun is a substantially more powerful provider of blue light than our screens, and it has been decidedly proved that DES isn’t associated with the sun at all. The general agreement is that DES is caused by spending too long, staring too hard, and sitting too close to our screens. Health experts generally recommend taking breaks to prevent DES, rather than relying on blue light glasses.

But there is one thing that blue light glasses might help with. Some studies have indicated that blue light can be bad for our circadian rhythms (生理节奏). In other words, exposure to blue light could make it harder to fall asleep. There haven’t been enough studies to tell if blue light glasses, worn for a few hours before bed, could help you sleep better, but it’s not out of the question.

That said, there are interesting reports of people loving their blue light glasses. Even if it’s just the placebo (安慰剂) effect, that can be incredibly powerful, and if it works on you, keep doing it.

12．What can we know from Paragraphs 1 and 2?

A．Blue light is beneficial to health. B．It’s advisable to take breaks to prevent DES.

C．Blue light glasses can protect against DES. D．Blue light mainly comes from the screens.

13．What is DES likely caused by?

A．Poor-quality sunglasses. B．Improper use of eyes.

C．The blinding sunlight. D．The small size of screens.

14．What can we know about blue light glasses from Paragraph 3?

A．They reduce eye strain. B．They affect circadian rhythms.

C．They may be helpful for sleep. D．They help to see things more clearly.

15．What is the author’s attitude to blue light glasses?

A．Objective. B．Opposed. C．Indifferent. D．Unclear.

The Science of Risk-Seeking

Sometimes we decide that a little unnecessary danger is worth it because when we weigh the risk and the reward, the risk seems worth taking. ____16____ Some of us enjoy activities that would surprise and scare the rest of us. Why? Experts say it may have to do with how our brains work?

The reason why any of us take any risks al all might have to do with early humans. Risk-takers were better at hunting, fighting, or exploring. ____17____ As the quality of risk-taking was passed from one generation to the next, humans ended up with a sense of adventure and a tolerance for risk.

So why aren’t we all jumping out of airplanes then? Well, even 200,000 years ago, too much risk-taking could get one killed. A few daring survived, though, along with a few stay-in-the-cave types. As a result, humans developed a range of character types that still exists today. So maybe you love car racing, or maybe you hate it. ___18___

No matter where you are on the risk-seeking range, scientists say that your willingness to take risks increases during your teenage years. ____19____ To help you do that, your brain increases your hunger for new experiences. New experiences often mean taking some risks, so your brain raises your tolerance for risk as well.

___20___ For the risk-seekers a part of the brain related to pleasure becomes active, while for the rest of us, a part of the brain related to fear becomes active.

As experts continue to study the science of risk-seeking, we’ll continue to hit the mountains, the waves or the shallow end of the pool.

A．It all depends on your character.

B．Those are the risks you should jump to take.

C．Being better at those things meant a greater chance of survival.

D．Thus, these well-equipped people survived because they were the fittest.

E．This is when you start to move away from your family and into the bigger world.

F．However, we are not all using the same reference standard to weigh risks and rewards.

G．New brain research suggests our brains work differently when we face a nervous situation.

六、读后续写

47．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Edward walked slowly past the school blacktop where his older brother, Leon, was playing basketball with his friends. Leon didn’t notice Edward until he turned to shoot the ball. Leon really loved basketball and was good at it. But Edward was another story.

Edward would beg to play with them but Leon’s friends complained a lot. For some reason, in that last game, Edward’s playing was worse than ever. He couldn’t do anything right. He was completely unable to keep possession of the ball. He missed even the easy rebounds. His dribbling was useless, and none of his throws were anywhere near the basket. Leon had to turn his brother away.

Edward was always a whiz at math. He was so advanced that he already knew how to solve long division problems before he was taught in school. Word problems, even the complicated ones with several steps, were no problem.

One day, Leon’s math teacher, pulled him aside. “ You need to do better, a lot better, or you’re not going to pass this class. There’s a big test coming up. ”

Leon’s heart sank. When he got home, he talked with Edward about it. The boys agreed that over the next two weeks they intended to spend an hour each day after school working on math problems and then an hour playing basketball.

“Here is a good one,” Edward said and pointed to a word problem. “ Why don’t you read it?”

Leon looked at the book for several seconds. “ I’m dizzy already!” He exclaimed.

“Do you know what the first step is?” asked Edward, “The first step is to stay cool and focused.” Edward talked Leon through the problem. “Think about what you need to find out. Don’t let the problem trick you.” Step by step, together they figured it out and got the right answer. Leon soon discovered that Edward was really good at helping him.

Paragraph1.

Soon it was time for basketball practice.

The morning of the math test came all too soon for Leon.

46．Dear Mr. Green,

How is it going? I have good news to share with you. In order to enrich the students’ life and stimulate our interest in learning English, our school will hold a lecture on English literature at 2 pm next Friday in the lecture hall of our school. The lecture will tell us some of the most famous works of English literature and some masters who made a great contribution to English literature. I am sure that it will benefit us a lot.

As you are an English speaker, you will be interested in the lecture. I would like to invite you to the lecture. I’m looking forward to your reply.

Yours,

Li Hua

47．One possible version:

Soon it was time for basketball practice. Edward held the ball with sweaty hands., standing on the court nervously. “Stay cool and stay focused. Those rules work in basketball, too.” Leon said. “Let’s start from the basics.” With Leon’s patient instructions, Edward started to practice dribbling. At first Edward would get frustrated because he couldn’t remember all the steps. But after attentive practice his performance changed for the better. The next two weeks saw the two brothers inspiring each other and making progress steadily. Edward learned how to shoot, pass and rebound; Leon was able to solve more and more complicated word problems.

The morning of the math test came all too soon for Leon. “Stay cool and focused!” With Edward’s encouraging words echoing in his mind, Leon calmed down and buried himself in the questions. Eventually, he finished the paper with flying colors. The bell ringing, Leon handed in the paper, darted out of the classroom and went to Edward. He invited Edward to play basketball with him after school. At the court, Leon’s friends were amazed by how much Edward had improved. They had so much fun! “That was pretty good basketball for a math whiz,” said Leon as he and Edward headed home. “Just like your math grade! It was a pretty good grade for a basketball all-star.”
