their money used to
better the planet.
Here are four well-known environmental
organizations.
World
Wildlife Fund (WWF)
The
World Wildlife Fund is perhaps one of the best-
known organizations for the protection of
endangered species and their habitats
around the world. They've been around for over 45
years.
You can donate through their

adopt an animal through their online
adoption center.
National Geographic Society (NGS)
National
Geographic
Society
is
well-known
for
their
magazine
and
their
specials
on
TV.
The
organization itself is
one of the longest-running in the
world
—
they've been around
since 1888,
focus
on
exploration
and
conservation
of
forests,
oceans,
habitats,
species
and
societies.
You
chopse to donate through
the website
,
buy something
at their online
store, or order a
magazine subscription.
National Wildlife Federation (NWF)
Founded officially in 1937, the
National Wildlife Federation tries to protect
wildlife at all costs.
In fact, they
believe that having the public educated is the
best way to help the
environment
—
-
the
more you know, the more you can protect the world
we live in. Donations to the NWF can be
made
through
their
website
nwf

org
or
through
other
options,
like
matching
gifts,
workplace
giving, or
memorial donations.
Ecology Fund, com
Set up
in 1976
,
Ecology Fund, com is
run on user clicks. Advertisers buy ad space on
the site
every time someone clicks. The
money goes to buy endangered wilderness land to
protect it from
companies that would
destroy it. So far, Ecology Fund, com has bought
land in many areas. The
best thing
about this site is that you needn't donate any
money
—
all you have to do is
click.

Our plan was to drive
into Cambridge, catch the 7:34 train to Liverpool
Street Station, then to
separate
and
meet
again
for
lunch.
We
should
have
arrived
at
Liverpool
at
9:19, but
due
to
a
typical London fog, the
train had to move along so slowly that it was not
until 10:30 that it got
there.
In
spite
of
our
late
arrival,
Joan,
my
wife's
sister,
decided
that
she
would
go
to
see
the
Crown Jewels in the
Tower of London while we went shopping. It was
only after her sister had
disappeared
into the fog that my wife realized that we hadn't
decided where we should meet for
lunch.
Since
I
had
our
three
tickets
for
the
concert
in
my
pocket,
this
was
indeed
a
problem.
There
seemed to be nothing we could do except taking a
taxi to the Tower of London, and try to
find her there. Needless to say, we
didn't find her.
It
was
now
one
o'clock,
and
the
concert
began
at
2:30.
she
will
think
of
waiting
outside the concert
hall,
traffic had to stop, and the only
way to get there was by underground railway. Hand
in hand we
felt our way along the road
to where we thought the nearest station should be.
An hour later we
were still trying to
find it. Just as I was about to lose my temper
completely when we met a blind
man
tapping his way confidently through the fog. With
his help we found Tower Hill tube station
just fifty yards down the
road.
By now it was far
too late even to try to get to the concert hall
before the performance began
at 2:30,
so we decided to return to Cambridge. It took
seven long hours instead of the usual two
to make that journey. Nor were we able
to get any food and drink on the train. Tired and
hungry
we finally reached home at ten,
opening the door to the sound of the telephone
bell. It was Joan;
she had seen the
Crown Jewels, had managed to get another ticket
for concert, and had had a
wonderful
dinner at a restaurant near the hotel where she
decided to stay for the night. Now she
was ringing to discover whether we had
had an equally successful day.
(

Why
was Joan separated from her sister and her
brother-in-law?
A. they could not see each other
because of the fog.
B. Joan
had not seen Crown Jewels.

until lunch time.

writer didn't want to go to the
concert.

other
D. the couple couldn't

2019?
天津)阅读理解<
/p>
Would you
BET on the future of this
man
?
He is 53 years old. Most
of his adult life has been a
losing
struggle against debt and misfortune. A war injury
has made his left hand stop functioning,
and he has often been in prison. Driven
by heaven-knows-what motives, he determines to
write a
book.
The book turns out to be one that has appealed to
the world for more than 350 years. That
former prisoner was Cervantes, and the
book was Don
Quixote
(《堂吉诃德》)
. And the
story
poses an interesting question:
why do some people discover new vitality and
creativity to the end
of their days,
while others go to seed long
before
?
We've
all known people who run out of steam before they
reach life's halfway mark. I'm not
talking about those who fail to get to
the top. We can't all get there. I'm talking about
people
who
have
stopped
learning
on
growing
because
they
have
adopted
the
fixed
attitudes
and
opinions that all too often come with
passing years.
Most
of
us,
in
fact,
progressively
narrow
the variety of
our
lives.
We
succeed
in
our
field
of
specialization and then
become trapped in it. Nothing surprises us. We
lose our sense of wonder.
But, if we
are willing to lean, the opportunities are
everywhere.
The things
we learn in maturity seldom involve information
and skills. We learn to bear with
the
things we can't change. We learn to avoid self-
pity. We learn that however much we try to
please,
some
people
are
never
going
to
love
us-an
idea
that
troubles
at
first
but
is
eventually
relaxing.
With
high
motivation
and
enthusiasm,
we
can
keep
on
learning.
Then
we
will
know
how
important
it
is
to
have
meaning
in
our
life.
However,
we
can
achieve
meaning
only
if we
have
made
a
commitment
to
something
larger
than
our
own
little
egos
(自我)
,
whether
to
loved
ones, to fellow humans, to work, or to
some moral concept.
Many of us equate
(视
……
等同于)
and nursing. But
doing any ordinary job as well as one can is in
itself an admirable commitment.
People
who work toward such excellence whether they are
driving a truck, or running a
store-
make
the
world
better
just
by
being
the
kind
of
people
they
are.
They've
learned
life's
most
valuable lesson.
(

)
The
passage starts with the story of Cervantes to show
that_________.
A. loss of freedom stimulates one's
creativity
B. age is not a
barrier to achieving one's goal
C. misery inspires a man to fight
against his fate
D.
disability cannot stop a man's pursuit of
success

What does the underlined part in
Paragraph 3 probably mean
?
A. End one's struggle for
liberty. B. Waste one's
energy taking risks.
C. Miss
the opportunity to succeed.
D. Lose the interest to continue
learning.
(

)
What could be inferred from
Paragraph 4?
A.
Those who dare to try often get themselves
trapped.
B. Those who tend
to think back can hardly go ahead.
C. Opportunity favors those with a
curious mind.
D. Opportunity
awaits those with a cautious mind.

What
does the author intend to tell us in Paragraph 5?
A. A tough man can tolerate
suffering.
B. A wise man can
live without self-pity.

man should try to satisfy people around
him.
D. A man should learn
suitable ways to deal with life.

for learning.

A great number of
species make their home in the vast waters of the
Atlantic Ocean. Although
the entire
ocean makes up an ecosystem, many smaller habitats
are found within, including an
open-
water
habitat
off
the
coast
of
the
Northern
Atlantic
Ocean
known
as
the
Sargasso
Sea.
Sargassum is an
alga(
海藻
) that floats in
masses that can continue for miles. The waters of
the
Gulf Stream push the water in a
northward move into this area. This constant move
and varying
temperature support the
accumulation of the brown-colored
seaweed.
The
Sargasso
Sea
is
so
enormous
that
one
method
of
information
collection
has
not
been
enough
for
scientists
to
obtain
an
accurate
picture
of
what
takes
place
within
this
ecosystem.
Researchers have
needed to employ several methods of sampling.
Methods such as dragging nets
over the
surface of the water and videotaping beneath areas
of sargassum have served scientists
well. Information collected has shown
that the Gulf Stream pushes brown algae from open
water
into the Sargasso Sea area,
creating a diverse floating habitat in an area
that would otherwise not
support that
wildlife.
In the most
recent study of the sargassum community off the
shores of North Carolina, eighty-
one
fish species were documented as using the area as
a microhabitat. This is an increase from
previous
studies.
The
types
of
fish
found
here
are
both
commercially
and
environmentally
important.
The South Atlantic Fishery Management Council is
working to regulate the harvesting
of
sargassum. The Council hopes to have the area
classified as an Essential Fish Habitat. Which
would afford it certain
protections.
Further
research
needs
to
be
done
before
scientists
understand
how
to
best
protect
the
Sargasso
Sea
as
well
as
understand
how
it
goes
about
supporting
so
many
important
types
of
wildlife.

C. the research

covered
D. a large amount of
money for the Sargasso Sea research is

It
can
be
inferred
from

that

worth our attention and needs more

has ignored this complex ecosystem

Shark
attacks
not
only
disturb
beach
activities,
but
can
affect

industries.
Shark
nets
are
a
common
solution
to
preventing
shark
attacks
on
beaches,
but
they
cause
dangers to sea
ecosystems.
Seeking a
cost-effective way to monitor beach safety over
large areas, we have developed a
system
called Shark Spotter. It combines artificial
intelligence (AI), computing power, and drone
(

technology
to
identify
and
warn
lifesavers
to
sharks
near
swimmers.
The
project
is
a
cooperation
between
the
University
of
Technology
Sydney
and
The
Ripper
Group,
which
is
pioneering the use of
drones
—
called
—
in the search and rescue
movement in Australia.
SharkSpotter can detect sharks and
other potential threats using real-time aerial
imagery. The
system analyses video from
a camera attached to a drone to monitor beaches
for sharks, send
warnings, and conduct
rescues. Developed with techniques known as
Spotter system receives imagery from
the drone camera and attempts to identify all
objects in
the scene. Once certain
objects are detected, they are put into one of 16
categories: shark, whale,
dolphin,
rays, different types of boats, surfers, and
swimmers.
If a shark is
detected, Shark Spotter provides both a visual
sign on the computer screen and an
audible
warning
to
the
operator.
The
operator
