Features: This revision was carried out based on extensive feedback from teachers across the country who have used this series of teaching materials, as well as opinions gathered from tens of thousands of students and teachers through questionnaires. The University Foreign Language Teaching Guidance Committee provided comprehensive guidance and support for the revision of this textbook. The purpose of the revision is to "face the 21st century and elevate college English teaching to a new level." The revised edition makes appropriate adjustments to the texts based on the specific situations of each tutorial, improves the coverage rate of program vocabulary and the frequency of common vocabulary, further refines the exercises, and emphasizes the practice of key words. At the same time, it strengthens the horizontal connections between the various tutorials of Guoqiang, ensuring that each is self-contained yet complementary, forming a cohesive whole. The revised edition pays more attention to the general applicability across disciplines such as arts, sciences, engineering, agriculture, and medicine, striving to lay a solid "broad, deep, and firm" language foundation for students.
