While we can’ t offer you any pay, the rewards for teaching here come from the life-changing contributions our teachers make to our wonderful kids’ lives and the opportunity to serve an amazing community in a beautiful part of the world.‎ Please take a moment to read the introduction of our school and then visit our website to see volunteers' comments on how they feel about the contribution they make to the community we serve. If you are interested in volunteering, please visit our website www. cofradiaschool. com and send an email to volunteer@cofradiaschool. com if you have any questions to ask.‎ Cofradia Bilingual(双语的) School is a small school. We offer a high-quality bilingual education to over 300 students from kindergarten to Grade 11. Our students receive a bilingual education from native English speakers. Graduating as English speakers provides our students with many opportunities to find jobs. Many of our students come from very poor families and a bilingual education gives them the ability to end the cycle of poverty for their family. Our graduates are encouraged to build a brighter future for themselves, their community, and their country.‎ All the classes are given in English, so Spanish-language skills are not required. Similarly, teaching experience is not required to work at CBS. We are finding English teachers for kids (ages 4-5) through 11th Grade (ages 16-17). The CBS school year goes from middle September 2019 to July 2020. English teachers may also teach Math (Grade One only), Science, and Physical Education. Our teachers work Monday-Friday from 7: 00 am-2: 10 pm.‎ While teaching at our school is completely voluntary, accommodation(住宿) and two meals a day during the week are provided.‎ ‎21.The volunteer teachers will __________.‎ A. learn Spanish for free.

English teachers in CBS __________.‎ A. will be provided with three meals for free B. can work as a part-time teacher C. might teach more than one subject D. should learn a second foreign language B If a person lost an arm, how could he or she still play basketball, or even dribble(运球）like Kyrie Irving does? Zhang Jiacheng, a 13-year-old Chinese boy, did it and impressed everyone.‎ After a short video of the teenage basketball player playing a one-on-one competition was recently posted online, Zhang soon became an Internet hit and was highly praised for his strong will and extraordinary skills. Zhang’s dribbling skills, and the story behind it, became a trending topic on Weibo, with more than 35 million views as of Tuesday.‎ In the video, Zhang showed his dribbling abilities and shooting skills in front of a defense made up of several professional basketball players, and received a loud cheer from the audience watching on site. He also opened an account on Douyin, the Chinese version of Tiktok, and released 15 short videos of him practicing and improving his basketball skills, which has earned him over one million likes in just a few days.‎ Born in southern Chinese province of Guangdong, Zhang lost his right arm in an accident at just five years old, which was a tragedy for a little kid. But Zhang never lets himself surrender to his fate as his love and passion for basketball grow stronger.‎ Zhu Fangyu, general manager of defending champions the Guangdong Southeast Tigers, wrote on his Weibo account that the CBA powerhouse would like to invite Zhang to visit the team and watch home games. “This is the best kid I have ever seen playing basketball,” Zhu said, noting that as soon as this season’s CBA reopens and audiences are allowed to come and watch games, they will invite the teenager.‎ Zhang is a fan of Kyrie Irving and he uses a poster of the dribbling master as the cover image ‎ of his Douyin account. The one-armed teenager dreams of being a basketball player. ‎ ‎24. What made Zhang Jiacheng popular on Weibo?‎ A. Losing one arm. B. Posting a video. ‎ C. Showing a strong will. D.

What can we learn about Zhang Jiacheng from the text?‎ A. Fame is a great thirst of a teenager. B. Nothing is impossible for a willing heart.‎ C. Positive thinking results in success. D. A teenager is to be regarded with respect.‎ C Riders delivering food in Shanghai’s Pudong New Area must wear coats with numbers when they are at work, according to a new rule from the local public safety authorities. The number on the coat is linked with each rider’s ID number. If a rider is involved in a traffic accident, the number on the coat can be caught by cameras on the road and recorded immediately in an app, the police said last week.‎ The traffic app for the food delivery industry was started by the police in Pudong New Area in September 2017. Information on more than 18,000 riders in the area, including personal information and records of breaking traffic rules, is contained in the app. A grading system is also included. Any failure to obey traffic rules will be recorded through the system, and the riders will face punishments depending on their grades. When the grade is lower than a certain number, the rider will be expelled, and he/she cannot work as a rider anymore.‎ The fast development in delivery services has led to a great increase in traffic accidents in China, largely because the riders break traffic rules to avoid late-delivery fines, and they rush for orders to earn more money. Riders’ unfamiliarity with traffic rules and poor management of riders by delivery companies are two of the main causes of accidents, the Pudong police said last month ‎ at a meeting with leaders of some delivery companies.‎ ‎“Some riders break traffic rules, go the wrong way on roads, or even make phone calls while riding, risking their own lives and bringing dangers to others,” Chen Suping, a member of the Shanghai Municipal People’s Congress, said last month, Chen made a suggestion that riders should have longer delivery time. He also advised that the behavior of riders should be connected to the records of the companies they work for.‎ ‎28. According to the new rule, riders__________.‎ A. must record the orders B. should obey the traffic rules C. will be taken pictures on the road D. have to wear a special coat at work ‎29. What can we know from the passage?‎ ‎ A. All traffic accidents are recorded through a system.‎ B. Delivery companies need to improve the management.‎ C. Riders make more money than others by sending food.‎ D. Delivery companies are unfamiliar with traffic rules.‎ ‎30. Why did Chen Suping suggest longer delivery time?‎ A. To increase the riders’ grade in the app. ‎ B. To keep a record of the riders’ behavior.‎ C. To improve the riders’ safety when riding. ‎ D. To prevent the company punishing the riders.‎ ‎31. What can be a suitable title for the passage?‎ A. New rules for riders delivering food in Shanghai.‎ B. An introduction of a new traffic rule app.‎ C. The fast development of delivery services in Shanghai.‎ D. Punishments for riders not wearing new coats.‎ D Suppose you are about to attend a concert with your friends. As soon as the concert begins, all of you are excited unexpectedly. It is a perfectly normal orchestra（管弦乐队）performance except one special aspect: it is conducted by a robot. In fact, a robot, called Alter 3, with a human-like face and two long arms, recently has led human musicians during a live performance ‎ in the United Arab Emirates.‎ Video from the recent performance in the Emirate of Sharjah showed the machine turning to face orchestra members and waving its arms. Alter 3 even sang at times. The performance was an opera called "Scary Beauty," created by Japanese composer Keiichiro Shibuya. He told Reuters news agency that the robot acted as the conductor（指挥）by setting the speed and sound level of the performance. ‎ Shibuya said the involvement of robots in the everyday lives of humans is continually increasing. But, he said he thinks people will need to decide in the future how artificial intelligence, AI, can best improve the human experience. ‎ Shibuya added that he believes humans and robots can learn to work together to create beautiful art. "This work is a metaphor(隐喻) of the relations between humans and technology," he said.‎ Shibuya noted that sometimes the music-leading robot can "get crazy," making it difficult for the musicians to keep up. But other times, the humans and machines work together very well.‎ Shibuya said the robots and AI that exist today are "far from complete." He is interested in studying how such incomplete technology can be combined with art.‎ From those who witnessed it, the performance drew mixed reactions. "I think this is a very exciting idea...we came to see how it looks like and how much is possible," said Anna Kovacevic. Another attendee, who gave his name only as Billum, said after the show: "You know, a human conductor is so much better." Although he said he is interested in AI and looks forward to big developments, he noted of the project: "the human feeling is lost."‎ ‎32. How does the author introduce the topic of the text?‎ A. By assumption. B. By data. C. By definition. D. By comparison.‎ ‎33. Which one is not the feature of Alter 3?‎ A. Showing a human-like face. B. Waving two long arms. ‎ C.Turning to face all the audience. D. Adjusting the speed and sound level.‎ ‎34. What do we know from Shibuya and other witnesses’ words?‎ A. Robot can best improve the human experience. ‎ B. Robot can well cooperate with humans. ‎ C. Robot can perfectly be combined with art. ‎ D. Robot can gradually be made more like people.‎ ‎35. What is the text mainly about?‎ A. Artificial intelligence develops rapidly in Japan.‎ B. Robot works as a conductor in a live concert.‎ C. Artificial intelligence leads musicians’ performance.‎ D. Robot may replace human services someday.‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10 分） ‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 ‎ Four Important Self-care Tips Are you a workaholic? Maybe that’s true.
