Participants generally volunteer from Monday to Thursday and the weekends are free to relax or-travel further afield. Nepal English Teaching Volunteers 2—20 weeks, age 18+ It is very important that children receive a formal education. It is not totally uncommon for them to leave the traditional environment when they get older. Therefore, it is important for them to learn English in order to boost their career prospects.

No elephant is ever chained up, day or night. Real Asia Encounter 6 — 12 weeks, age 18+ Real Asia Encounter takes in Sri Lanka, India and Nepal.

The players of the great hockey club Toronto Maple Leafs were of course my heroes, and their posters and photos covered the walls of my room. There is always some price to pay for maintaining a love. I raised funds in an old-fashioned way,selling something the public could actually sink their teeth into. I joined the local annual event —Margaret's Doughnuts (甜甜圈) to sell doughnuts, which offered choices of honey-glazed or chocolate-glazed. Door-to-door I went, notebook in hand to record. I sold dozens of dozens; hardly a soul turned me down. My notebook was almost full, and my stomach was almost empty when I went up the last house on the south side. I rang the doorbell and went over my speech while staring at the screen door. Suddenly, the door opened. My unforgettable memory was looking up from a large pair of fuzzy slippers, way up, to the face staring down. I stood there speechless for what seemed 10 years, opening and closing my mouth like a fish out of water. Collecting my calmness, but still unable to go into doughnut-promoting overdrive, I told him something he seemed have already known and he replied with a nod and a smile. I have an unclear memory of murmuring through my speech "Please-buy-somuc-dorghnuts", and then a vivid memory of him taking the notebook from my hand. I followed with new information — that we shared our given name. With pride from our first-name-basis farewells, I flew home holding the notebook tightly to my chest. The next morning before the school bell, I cautiously showed off the precious paper. It is surely mine alone to claim: I sold a dozen doughnuts to Tim Horton, one of my most respected players who lived a mere three blocks away! 24. What can we know about the author? A. He obtained posters and photos from a star team. B. He joined Toronto Maple Leafs as a young child. C.He was not much of an experienced hockey player. D. His love for hockey was influenced by a star-team. 25. Why did the author sell doughnuts? A.To follow the fashion  B. To respond to an event. C. To taste more flavors. D. To pursue his hobby. 26.What happened to the author when he met the owner of the last house? A.He was so speechless with astonishment. B. He was looked down upon by the owner. C. He was scared by the owner's appearance. D. He forgot his speech for selling doughnuts. 27. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. A Successful Sale Promotion Of Doughnuts B. An Amazing Journey To Following My Dream C. A Grateful Doughnut Helping Awaken My Dream D.An Unexpected Meeting With My Favorite Hockey C Do you love Beats headphones, True Religion jeans, and UGG shoes? These are some of the most popular brands (牌子) around. They are also expensive. But some experts say they are not much better than cheaper brands. For example, Jim Wilcox works for Consumer Reports. He tested all kinds of headphones. He says that $80 Koss Pro headphones provide basically the same quality and comfort as Beats. So why do people pay twice or even 10 times as much for the hottest brands? Experts say it's because fashionable, expensive brands send a message. Brands say "I belong” or "I can afford it." Some people think that expensive brand names are worth the price. They say that some designer clothes really are top quality and that they last longer than cheaper brands. Some teenagers choose to wear popular brands because these brands make them feel good about themselves. Alexandra Allam, 17, likes to buy brand-name products. "I'd rather spend the extra money to get something I know I'll be satisfied with,” she says. Her friend Emmy Swan agrees, saying “As long as you can afford it, it seems reasonable to buy what you want.” But not all teenagers agree. "Spending hundreds of dollars for designer sunglasses is stupid and unreasonable,” says Daniel Steinbrecher, 16. "It’s fake (假的) happiness.” People who are against wearing expensive brand names say that many designer brands aren't any better. "It's wasteful to buy things just because they are popular,” says Edmund Williams, 15. "You'll feel better if you buy things because you like them. If you have extra money to spend, it would be better to give it to people in need." 28. The example of Jim's report wants to tell us ________. A. popular brands make people comfortable B. Koss Pro headphones are better than Beats C.the hottest brands are of the highest quality D.lesser-known brands may offer the same quality as name brands  29. According experts, people choose the hottest brands probably ______. A. to show off B. for their better quality C. for their better designs D. to belong to a special group 30. What does Edmund think of expensive brands? A. They are not worth the price.  B. They make him feel confident. C. They need to improve their quality. D. They pay too much attention to personal likes. 31. The text is mainly about ______. A. how to buy things reasonably  B. the competition between brands C. the different values of teenagers D. whether expensive brands are worth high prices D As is the fate of anyone running a hotel in Kerala these days, Bijoy George is a man with too much to do. Before pandemic-caused lockdowns began in 2020, he managed 40 employees at the Eighth Bastion Hotel in the charming historic quarter of Kochi, a bustling coastal city. Now that business is back to pre-covid levels he needs the same number of staff again But he has only 20 workers. His plight is shared with every other hotel, café and bar. It is a result of the state's hospitality (招待) employees moving all together in large numbers to Qatar, not to watch football but to take up employment tied to the World Cup. As the start of the competition approaches on November 20th, workers are quitting at a rate Mr.George says he has never seen in his 22 years in the business. Qatar, a country with a population of under3m, will have welcomed more than 1.5m visitors before the matches conclude on December 18th. That means finding staff to run all the new hotels that have been built along with other venues that have been pressed into service to profit from the sports fans. Kerala has long been a significant source of hospitality workers for Qatar and other Middle Eastern countries. Its state government provides good schools with English-language instruction but few jobs.More than 2m people, 17% of its working population, already work overseas, largely in the Gulf. The appeal of Qatar is straightforward. Starting salaries approach $1,000 a month, more than six times the level for similar jobs in Kerala. To replace those who have left, Kerala's employers have been casting their nets wider. Recruiters have been extending their searches to many other Indian cities. But that means the most common word on name-tags pinned to the breast pockets of workers is "trainee”. Among the many skills that need to be taught, says Mr. George, is smiling at customers — the failure to do so a result of shyness among those new to the workforce. The danger is that after a week or so when confidence grows, even these employees may slip away to the Gulf. Most contracts run for three months, concluding at the end of December, not long after the World Cup final. Returning workers will be welcomed back with open arms. Filling the gaps is even more important as Indian tourism and weddings have restarted. The reunions, though, may be short-lived. The game these workers will have learned from the World Cup is how to be paid better. That means leaving India. 32. The underlined sentence in paragraph one implies that _______. A. other hotels, cafes and bars will share Bijoy’s 20 employees B. other hotels, cafes and bars will have to lay off some workers C. other hotels, cafes and bars also send the workers to Qatar D. other hotels, cafes and bars also find it hard to employ enough workers 33. Which of the following DOESN'T contribute to hospitality workers in Kerala taking up jobs in Qatar? A. Millions of tourists have to be served during the World Cup. B. Hospitality workers are in high demand with new hotels and venues open for business in Qatar. C. Qatar provides good education and English training for potential workers in Kerala. D. The salaries of similar jobs in Kerala are much lower than those in Qatar.  34. Which of the following difficulties do Kerala's employers face due to lack of workers? A. Kerala's employers have to take on new employees in Asian cities. B. Many of the new employees will pin their name tags to their breast pockets. C. The new employees will not greet the customers as a result of shyness. D. The new employees may soon follow the trend of going to the Gulf. 35. What makes the reunions between Indian workers and employers probably a short-lived one?  A. Jobs outside India can provide Indian workers with a more decent life. B. It will soon be the off season for Indian tourism and weddings.  C. Another grand occasion will soon begin in the Gulf. D. The workers only sign short-term contracts with the employers in India. 第二节(共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) Lifelong Learning is Good for You It is impossible for everyone to have access to additional formal education.

As an English Language Arts teacher in my fourth year, I had to leave my beloved profession. I kept praying for a sign to stay, but my father was very ill and needed someone to take care of him.Although many students liked my class and I had received hundreds of letters from former students appreciating my influence on their lives, I still made this difficult decision. It was nearing the end of what I had come to think of as my last year. A senior named Lyric, who was my assistant, asked if I could meet him and another student named Ari for dinner to discuss how to prepare for college. I agreed but didn’t think anything of it. It was on a Saturday evening and my schedule for that day was already packed. I attended an academic conference that morning and then spent the next four hours at the boys' basketball game where I was the assistant coach of the school team. By the time the game ended, I had about an hour to get to the dinner. I was so tired that I almost called Lyric to reschedule But I had promised, so I got in my car and headed to the restaurant. As I was walking up to the restaurant, I saw Lyric, Ari, and Sal, another former student, all dressed up. I asked Lyric, "Why are you guys so dressed up?" He responded, "Follow us and you'll see. "The three of them led me to the outside patio (露台) where there was a long table full of some forty students.They had decorated the patio with fairy lights and flowers, and the table was adorned (装饰) with a beautiful tablecloth and candles. They had even prepared my favorite dishes and drinks! 注意：1.续写词数应为 150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。  Paragraph 1: When they saw me, they all stood up and started clapping.__________ Paragraph 2: A week later, I was voted Teacher of the Year. 参考答案 21-25 ACDCD 26-30 ABDAA 31-35 DDCDA 36-40 GBEFA 41-45 BDBAC 46-50 ACDBA 51-55 DCBCA 56.literally 57.resembles 58.patterns 59.took 60.who 61.featuring 62.more 63.appreciation 64.over 65.and 应用文 Notice To enhance our understanding of Chinese culture and improve our English reading skills, our school will hold an English reading week with the theme of Cultural China next week.

The clapping lasted for several minutes and I was so surprised to see the scene. Later each one of them came to my side, giving me a tight hug and handing their gifts to me one by one to express their love and thanks to me. I felt their deep love and tears misted my eyes. A sense of warmth spread in the air. After we took our seats, we enjoyed the meals together, talking about how to prepare for college and how to live a brighter life. Laughter echoed around the patio and that meal at that night made me realize that I mattered a lot. A week later, I was voted Teacher of the Year. Standing on the stage to receive the award, I was burning with excitement and joy. When the headmaster awarded this honor to me, he praised me for my hard work and what I had done for the students and the school. Hearing this, I knew that my efforts were recognized not only by my students, but also by my workmates and leaders, so that I made up my mind to stay here with my students and give them support. After the ceremony, I chose to take care of my dad myself and managed to keep a balance between my work and life. Tired as I was, I could feel my bond with students was strengthened much. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
