在繁华都市的喧嚣之外,有一位勇敢的青年张天,怀揣着炽热的心,奔赴贵州的乡村。那里有他的教育梦想、有孩子们的期待。在漫长的日夜中,他用爱与坚持,书写着不一样的青春。让我们走进他的故事,感受那份纯真与美好。
After a long day, Zhang Tian finally got back to his small room, feeling tired. He had started working at seven in the morning and it was eight in the evening now. He had to prepare his lessons for the following day. This is a typical day for Zhang Tian. Coming to Guizhou Province to teach has been quite an experience for him.
Zhang Tian graduated from university and got a teacher's certificate last year.His parents, like most, hoped he would go to a big city to find a teaching job. Likewise, his friends all left his hometown for work in Shanghai or Beijing. Zhang Tian felt differently, however. He wanted to start a new lifestyle. He had met wonderful teachers from small villages during his early school years and he was inspired by them to go and teach where he was needed the most. For that reason he applied, and became a volunteer teacher in a village school. Bringing with him lots of books, clothes, and two pairs of trainers, Zhang Tian travelled to the village with an eager heart. He imagined all sorts of exciting things about living independently and teaching in a village.
However, not everything lived up to Zhang Tian's hopes. The school was much smaller than he had expected, with only three classrooms. In front of the classrooms, there was a playground which got dusty on windy days and muddy on rainy days. Living in the village was also more challenging than he had thought. The power and water supplies were unstable, so he could only shower every three or four days, and he had to learn how to cook. The thought of leaving once flashed through his mind, but he quickly gave up the idea and found ways to deal with the challenges.
The school had just three teachers and Zhang Tian was the only English teacher. The other two local teachers were responsible for maths and Chinese. his students, Zhang Tian introduced more subjects to the school — music, art and PE. surprising that PE is the kids' favourite subject! Their school lives are now more attractive and interesting, and they enjoy playing football in the playground, as well as singing songs they've learnt. The school is now full of laughter and music. Zhang Tian is planning to organise the first ever school concert! Everyone is very excited.
  Zhang Tian's first year is almost over. It has been a tough year, but he has enjoyed working with the children. read,speak and write in English, and they became more confident in learning. Besides teaching, Zhang Tian also brought changes to the village. He contacted charity organisations about rebuilding the playground and setting up a library, and helped the villagers sell local products online. The contribution he made to the village was great, so he became very popular among the villagers and they treated him as one of them. The village is like his second home now. one year, he now feels ready to stay for another year. when choosing what to do with his life, even though it may not be what others expected of him.

It's March in Africa. On the farm, local people are dancing and singing to celebrate their recent harvest. Their hard work has paid off and got beautiful fruit — white and fragrant rice!
This is the Second Farm in Xai-Xai, Mozambique, where Yi Yun has been working for six years. The 37-year-old from Liaoning, China, followed his Chinese company here as a project manager. The company runs a project to grow rice on the farm, which covers about 1,667 hectares.
“When we first arrived in 2017, the farm was full of weeds, as tall as a man,” said Yi. After clearing the weeds, the company began to teach locals farming skills. “We taught them how to drive tractors (拖拉机) and harvesters, and how to grow rice step by step including sowing seeds and spraying pesticide.”
Since 2000, when the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation started, an increasing number of Chinese companies and organizations have gone to Africa to work in the agriculture industry. “We bring in new techniques, equipment and high-quality seeds,” said Yi.
“Local people are happy that we are here because we not only help them solve food problems but also provide job opportunities,” said Yi. “Our farm can employ 500 to 1,000 local people. Their living conditions have been greatly improved in recent years. Some families have even bought televisions and fridges.”
“African people are just as hard-working as the Chinese and also want to pursue a better life. What they need is more opportunities, which China is now helping with. I'm proud of what my country is doing,” Yi said.
语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。自2000年中非合作论坛成立以来,越来越多的中国公司和组织前往非洲从事农业工作,为非洲人民提供帮助。

A.A celebration scene.   B.A trading scene.
C.A working scene. D.A sowing scene.
解析:段落大意题。结合第一段的内容特别是关键词“celebrate their recent harvest, paid off, got beautiful fruit”可知,本段描述了非洲人民载歌载舞,庆祝丰收的场景。

5.What did Yi Yun see when he first arrived at the farm in Mozambique
A.Old tractors. B.Tall weeds.
C.Local farmers. D.Rice fields.
解析:细节理解题。根据第三段“When we first arrived in 2017, the farm was full of weeds, as tall as a man”可知,易云第一次来到莫桑比克的农场时,看到了像人一样高的杂草。

6.What can be learned about Yi Yun's company
A.It started a project in Mozambique in 2000.
B.It suffered from food shortage in Mozambique.
C.It sells electrical appliances to people in Mozambique.
D.It has contributed to the agriculture development of Mozambique.

解析:细节理解题。根据第三段“After clearing the weeds, the company began to teach locals farming skills.”以及第四段“‘We bring in new techniques, equipment and high-quality seeds,’said Yi.”可知,易云的公司为莫桑比克的农业发展作出很大的贡献。
7.What does Yi Yun think of African people
A.They should get better-paid jobs.
B.They are proud of their own country.
C.They need opportunities to create a better life.
D.They have learned from the Chinese to be hard-working.

It's March in Africa. On the farm, local people are dancing and singing to celebrate their recent harvest. Their hard work has paid off and got beautiful fruit — white and fragrant rice!
This is the Second Farm in Xai Xai, Mozambique, where Yi Yun has been working for six years. The 37 year old from Liaoning, China, followed his Chinese company here as a project manager. The company runs a project to grow rice on the farm, which covers about 1,667 hectares.
“When we first arrived in 2017, the farm was full of weeds, as tall as a man,” said Yi. After clearing the weeds, the company began to teach locals farming skills. “We taught them how to drive tractors (拖拉机) and harvesters, and how to grow rice step by step including sowing seeds and spraying pesticide.”
Since 2000, when the Forum on China Africa Cooperation started, an increasing number of Chinese companies and organizations have gone to Africa to work in the agriculture industry. “We bring in new techniques, equipment and high quality seeds,” said Yi.
“Local people are happy that we are here because we not only help them solve food problems but also provide job opportunities,” said Yi. “Our farm can employ 500 to 1,000 local people. Their living conditions have been greatly improved in recent years. Some families have even bought televisions and fridges.”
“African people are just as hard working as the Chinese and also want to pursue a better life. What they need is more opportunities, which China is now helping with. I'm proud of what my country is doing,” Yi said.
4.What does paragraph 1 describe
A.A celebration scene.   B.A trading scene.
C.A working scene. D.A sowing scene.
5.What did Yi Yun see when he first arrived at the farm in Mozambique
A.Old tractors. B.Tall weeds.
