慈善机构对地球的积极影响英语作文全文共3篇示例,供读者参考篇1The Positive Impacts of Charities on Our PlanetAs a student, I'm always trying to learn more about the world around me and how I can make a positive difference. One area that has really captured my interest lately is the role that charitable organizations play in protecting our environment and making the Earth a better place for all. From tackling climate change to preserving biodiversity, these non-profit groups are at the forefront of some of the most crucial efforts to safeguard our planet's future.I think it's important to start by acknowledging the scale of the environmental challenges we're facing. Climate change, caused by human-driven increases in greenhouse gas emissions, is already having devastating impacts in the form of rising sea levels, more extreme weather events, droughts, and biodiversity loss. Deforestation, pollution, and unsustainable resource extraction are also putting immense stress on ecosystems around the world. Addressing these complex, interrelated issueswill require a multifaceted approach involving governments, businesses, communities, and individuals – and charities have a vital role to play.One key way that non-profit organizations are combating climate change is through reforestation and conservation efforts. Groups like the Arbor Day Foundation, American Forests, and One Tree Planted have collectively facilitated the planting of millions of trees across the globe. Trees are incredibly effective at absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and releasing oxygen, making reforestation one of the most powerful tools we have for drawing down greenhouse gas emissions. Plus, by preserving and restoring forests, these charities are also helping to protect biodiversity hotspots that are home to countless species.Speaking of biodiversity, numerous conservation charities like the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), Conservation International, and the Nature Conservancy are working tirelessly to protect endangered plants and animals from extinction. They do this through a variety of means, such as establishing and maintaining nature reserves, fighting against poaching and the illegal wildlife trade, and promoting sustainable development practices in vulnerable ecosystems. Biodiversity is the backbone of all life onEarth, and losing more species could have catastrophic ripple effects, so the work of these organizations is absolutely vital.Many charities are also taking aim at pollution and waste issues that are damaging our air, water, and soil. Groups like the Ocean Conservancy organize massive beach and coastal cleanups to remove plastic pollution from marine environments. The Environmental Defense Fund advocates for stronger regulations and corporate responsibility around air pollution, toxic chemicals, and more. And organizations like Waste Aid are helping communities in developing countries establish better waste management systems. A cleaner, less polluted planet is better for all living creatures.Then there are the numerous charities focused on promoting sustainable energy solutions to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels. Groups like the Solar Electric Light Fund are making solar power more accessible around the world. Others, like the American Wind Energy Association, are advancing wind farm development. And outfits like the Rocky Mountain Institute are doing crucial research and advocacy work to accelerate the overall transition to renewable energy sources. A shift away from dirty fossil fuels is one of the most important steps we can take to mitigate climate change.Beyond their direct environmental work, many charities are also making positive impacts by raising awareness, influencing policy, and educating the public. The Natural Resources Defense Council, for instance, develops science-based solutions and lobbies for stronger environmental laws and regulations. Greenpeace is well-known for its advocacy campaigns drawing attention to crucial issues like deforestation and Arctic drilling. And groups like the Sierra Club offer educational programs to empower people with the knowledge and skills to be better environmental stewards.What impresses me most about all of these organizations is their unwavering commitment to finding solutions that balance environmental protection with sustainable economic development and improving human wellbeing – especially in marginalized communities that are most vulnerable to environmental threats. From distributing clean cookstoves and water filters to fostering sustainable agriculture practices, many charities are tackling environmental issues through the lens of creating a healthier, more equitable world for all.On a more personal note, I've had the chance to get involved with some of these groups through volunteering and local projects, and it's been an incredibly rewarding experience. I'vehelped plant trees, picked up trash from parks and waterways, and educated my peers about environmental issues. It's empowering to feel like I'm taking tangible action and being part of the solution. I'm amazed by the passion and dedication of the people working for these causes.Of course, non-profit organizations alone can't solve all of our environmental problems – they need significant financial support, policy changes to create better incentives, and buy-in from individuals, corporations, and governments alike. But the work they do is absolutely crucial, and I'm inspired by their perseverance in the face of such daunting challenges. From mitigating climate change to protecting biodiversity to cleaning up pollution, environmental charities are making real, positive impacts that will benefit our planet for generations to come.As I look ahead to my future career, I can definitely see myself wanting to be involved with or support organizations doing this type of important work. Even if I don't end up working in the environmental field directly, I know I'll always strive to make sustainable, ethical choices that reduce my personal impact. The role that charities play shows that through passion, innovation, and collective action, we can start to turn the tide and build a better, healthier world for all. We all need to beenvironmental stewards and take care of our shared home – this beautiful, irreplaceable planet Earth.篇2The Positive Impact of Charities on Our PlanetAs a student, I've come to realize just how important charitable organizations are for creating positive change in the world. These non-profit groups are dedicated to addressing some of the most pressing issues facing humanity and the environment. From combating climate change and protecting endangered species to providing humanitarian aid and promoting education, charities are at the forefront of making our planet a better place.One area where charities are making a huge difference is in the fight against climate change and environmental degradation. Organizations like The Nature Conservancy, World Wildlife Fund, and Greenpeace are working tirelessly to preserve natural habitats, protect biodiversity, and promote sustainable practices. Their efforts include conserving forests, oceans, and other vital ecosystems that absorb carbon dioxide and provide homes for countless species.The Nature Conservancy, for instance, has protected more than 119 million acres of land and thousands of miles of rivers worldwide. By establishing nature preserves and working with communities, governments, and corporations, they safeguard these natural areas from development and exploitation. This not only protects the plants and animals that live there, but also helps mitigate climate change by preserving the earth's carbon sinks.Meanwhile, groups like Greenpeace take a more activist approach, raising awareness about environmental threats and pressuring governments and corporations to adopt greener policies. Their campaigns against deforestation, overfishing, and the use of fossil fuels have helped shape public opinion and drive meaningful change. Thanks to charities like these, renewable energy is becoming more widely adopted and wasteful industrial practices are being reined in.But charities aren't just focused on the environment – they're also working to create a more just, equitable, and peaceful world for all. Organizations such as UNICEF, Doctors Without Borders, and the International Rescue Committee provide vital aid and services to vulnerable communities affected by poverty, conflict, and natural disasters. In places torn apart by war or devastatedby famine, these charities offer food, clean water, medical care, and shelter to those most in need.UNICEF, for example, works in over 190 countries to ensure the rights and wellbeing of children everywhere. They provide life-saving nutrition, vaccines, education, and protection to kids in crisis zones. Just last year, UNICEF treated 4 million children for severe malnutrition and provided over 23 million children with formal or non-formal education opportunities. Their efforts are giving the next generation a fighting chance at a brighter future.Many charities are also on the frontlines of promoting human rights, social justice, and global development. Groups like Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, and Oxfam International advocate for the rights of marginalized groups, expose injustices, and hold governments and corporations accountable. Their tireless work defending civil liberties, documenting abuses, and providing aid for development projects empowers oppressed peoples and gives voice to the voiceless.Oxfam's efforts to end global poverty, for instance, include providing clean water, sanitation, food security, and education to impoverished communities while also addressing the root causeslike inequality, injustice, and lack of opportunity. Thanks to their programs, millions have been lifted out of extreme poverty, given the tools to be self-sufficient, and seen their basic rights upheld.On top of all this vital work, charities are making the world more educated, creative, and culturally enriched. Groups devoted to the arts, education, scientific research, and the preservation of cultural heritage sites ensure that humanity's greatest achievements are protected and expanded upon. By running museums, schools, tutoring programs, and research initiatives, they foster knowledge, creativity, and cross-cultural understanding across the globe.An organization like Khan Academy, which provides free online education resources, has enabled over 100 million students around the world to access a quality education. Their comprehensive video lessons, practice exercises, and instructional materials across a vast range of subjects ensure that poverty, location, and other obstacles don't stand in the way of learning. Thanks to their efforts, young minds everywhere can reach their full potential.Overall, the positive impacts of charitable organizations span virtually every aspect of life on this planet – environmentally,socially, culturally, and intellectually. By tirelessly pursuing their missions, whether that's reforestation, human rights advocacy, disaster relief, or education accessibility, they are actively making the world kinder, greener, more just, and more knowledgeable.These impacts don't just improve human wellbeing, but the health of the entire planet as well. When charities succeed in their environmental efforts, it helps preserve biodiversity, mitigate climate change, and sustain vital ecosystems we all depend on. When they relieve human suffering through aid, promote equality, or provide opportunity through development programs, it lifts up communities and reduces strain on natural resources. And when they champion education, arts, and cultural heritage, it shapes a more conscientious, enlightened population that will be better stewards of the earth.As a student looking forward to my role as a future guardian of this planet, I'm incredibly grateful for and inspired by the work of charitable organizations. They represent humanity's caring, courageous, and brilliant side – our drive to make things better, to solve problems, and to create positive and lasting change. While there is still so much progress to be made, charities are vital forces leading the way toward a healthier, more peaceful, and more sustainable world for all.篇3The Positive Impact of Charitable Organizations on Our PlanetAs students, we are often encouraged to think about how our actions today can shape the world we will inherit tomorrow. One area where individual efforts can have a profound impact is through supporting charitable organizations working to protect the environment and promote sustainability. From combating climate change to preserving biodiversity, these nonprofits are on the front lines of some of the most pressing challenges facing our planet.At their core, environmental charities aim to safeguard the delicate ecosystems that sustain all life on Earth. Deforestation, pollution, habitat loss – these are just some of the threats they battle daily through advocacy, education, and direct action. Organizations like The Nature Conservancy and World Wildlife Fund work tirelessly to establish and maintain protected areas where flora and fauna can thrive unmolested. Their efforts ensure that future generations can experience the wonder and majesty of nature.But the work of green charities extends far beyond simply roping off swaths of pristine wilderness. They also tackle complex issues like sustainable development, renewable energy, and environmental justice. Charities like the Sierra Club and are powerful voices demanding that governments and corporations take concrete steps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and transition to clean energy sources. In doing so, they hope to mitigate the most catastrophic impacts of climate change, which disproportionately affect marginalized communities.On a more local level, urban environmental groups like The Trust for Public Land create green spaces and community gardens in underserved areas. Not only do these initiatives improve air quality and provide cooling effects, but they foster a deeper connection between city residents and the natural world. Experiencing nature's restorative benefits firsthand can inspire eco-conscious mindsets from an early age.The conservation efforts of wildlife charities have scored many victories in recent decades. Perhaps their greatest achievement was the global ban on commercial whaling enacted in the 1980s, which allowed many whale populations to start recovering from the brink of extinction. More recently,organizations like the International Rhino Foundation have celebrated a hard-won uptick in the population of the endangered black rhino. Success stories like these underscore how grassroots activism can produce tangible results.However, the battle is far from over. Each year, thousands of species are lost to mass extinction, primarily driven by human activity and climate change. Already, over a million plant and animal species face heightened extinction risk. Charities like the Rainforest Trust work feverishly to protect biodiversity hotspots – areas densely packed with endangered species found nowhere else on Earth. By purchasing and maintaining sanctuaries in these critical habitats, they create vital lifelines for countless species teetering on the edge.Many green charities have also embraced innovative technologies as powerful new tools for environmental advocacy. Global Forest Watch, for instance, uses satellite data and remote sensing to monitor global forests in unprecedented detail, equipping stakeholders with real-time knowledge to combat deforestation. Advances in renewable energy, sustainable agriculture, and green chemistry, spearheaded by research institutions like the Rocky Mountain Institute, offer pathways toward a more eco-friendly future.On an individual level, we can all play a role in supporting the vital work of environmental nonprofits. Something as simple as a modest monthly donation or volunteering for local habitat restoration projects can make a meaningful difference. We should also advocate for policies that provide financial incentives and government funding for green initiatives led by charities. Ultimately, we must view these organizations not as fringe activists, but as indispensable partners in ensuring the continued habitability of our shared planet.As students representing the next generation of leaders, scientists, policymakers and engaged citizens, we have an obligation to embrace environmental stewardship. The challenges are daunting – biodiversity loss, resource depletion, climate chaos. But the work of charitable organizations shows that positive change is possible when we harness human ingenuity and collective will. We may not be able to undo all the damage wrought by centuries of short-sighted behavior, but we can certainly mitigate future harm and build a more sustainable world.In the end, safeguarding the environment is about more than just preserving the aesthetic beauty of nature, as profound as that imperative may be. It is about guaranteeing the basicpreconditions for human life to flourish long into the future –clean air and water, arable soil, stable climatic patterns, thriving biodiversity. The organizations on the front lines of this fight deserve not just our admiration, but our steadfast support. For only by joining forces with these charities can we discharge our sacred duty as stewards of the Earth and leave a verdant planet for posterity.。

The Formation of Volcanic IslandsEarth’s surface is not made up of a single sheet of rock that forms a crust but rather a number of “tectonic plates” that fit closely, like the pieces of a giant jigsaw puzzle. Some plates carry islands or continents others form the seafloor. All are slowly moving because the plates float on a denser semi-liquid mantle, the layer between the crust and Earth’s core. The plates have edges that are spreading ri dges (where two plates are moving apart and new seafloor is being created), subduction zones (where two plates collide and one plunges beneath the other), or transform faults (where two plates neither converge nor diverge but merely move past one another). It is at the boundaries between plates that most of Earth’s volcanism and earthquake activity occur.Generally speaking, the interiors of plates are geologically uneventful. However, there are exceptions. A glance at a map of the Pacific Ocean reveals that there are many islands far out at sea that are actually volcanoes----many no longer active, some overgrown with coral----that originated from activity at points in the interior of the Pacific Plate that forms the Pacific seafloor.How can volcanic activity occur so far from a plate boundary? The Hawaiian Islands provide a very instructive answer. Like many other island groups, they form a chain. The Hawaiian Islands Chain extends northwest from the island of Hawaii. In the 1840s American geologist James Daly observed that the different Hawaii islands seem to share a similar geologic evolution but are progressively more eroded, and therefore probable older, toward the northwest. Then in 1963, in the early days of the development of the theory of plate tectonics. Canadian geophysicist Tuzo Wilson realized that this age progression could result if the islands were formed on a surface plate moving over a fixed volcanic source in the interior. Wilson suggested that the long chain of volcanoes stretching northwest from Hawaii is simply the surface expression of a long-lived volcanic source located beneath the tectonic plate in the mantle. Today’s most northwest island would have been the first to form. They as the plate moved slowly northwest, new volcanic islands would have forms as the plate moved over the volcanic source. The most recent island, Hawaii, would be at the end of the chain and is now over the volcanic source.Although this idea was not immediately accepted, the dating of lavas in the Hawaii (and other) chains showed that their ages increase away from the presently active volcano, just as Daly had suggested. Wilson’s analysis of these data is now a central part of plate tectonics. Most volcanoes that occur in the interiors of plates are believed to be produced by mantle plumes, columns of molten rock that rise from deep within the mantle. A volcano remains an active “hot spot” as long as it is over the plume. The plumes apparently originate at great depths, perhaps as deep as the boundary between the core and the mantle, and many have been active for a very long time. The oldest volcanoes in the Hawaii hot-spot trail have ages close to 80 million years. Other islands, including Tahiti and Easter Islands in the pacific, Reunion and Mauritius in the In dia Ocean, and indeed most of the large islands in the world’s oceans, owe their existence to mantle plumes.The oceanic volcanic islands and their hot-spot trails are thus especially useful for geologist because they record the past locations of the plate over a fixed source. They therefore permit the reconstruction of the process of seafloor spreading, and consequently of the geography of continents and of ocean basins in the past. For example, given the current position of the Pacific Plate, Hawaii is above the Pacific Ocean hot spot. So the position of The Pacific Plate 50 million years ago can be determined by moving it such that a 50-million-year-oil volcano in the hot-spot trail sits at the location of Hawaii today. However because the ocean basins really are short-lived features on geologic times scale, reconstruction the world’s geography by backtracking along the hot-spot trail works only for the last 5 percent or so of geologic time.Paragraph 1: Earth’s surface is not made up of a single shee t of rock that forms a crust but rather a number of “tectonic plates” that fit closely, like the pieces of a gain jigsaw puzzle.

Other islands, including Tahiti and Easter Islands in the pacific, Reunion and Mauritius in the India Ocean, and indeed most of the large islands in the world’s oceans, owe their existence to mantle plumes.7.Why does the author provide the informatio n that “the dating of lavas in the Hawaii (and other) chains showed that their ages increase away from the presently active volcano”?O To point out differences between the Hawaii island chain and other volcanic island chainsO To question the idea that all the islands in an island chain have been formed by volcanic activity O To explain why Wilson hypothesis was initially difficult to acceptO To provide evidence in support of Daly’s and Wilson’s ideas about how the Hawaii islands were formed8.According to paragraph 4, which of the following is true of mantle plumesO They exist close to the surface of tectonic plates.O They cause most of the volcanic activity that occurs in the interiors of plates.O They are rarely active for long period of time.O They get increasingly older away from the present hot spots.Paragraph 5: The oceanic volcanic islands and their hot-spot trails are thus especially useful for geologist because they record the past locations of the plate over a fixed source. They therefore permit thePacific Ocean hot spot. So the position of The Pacific Plate 50 million years ago can be determined by moving it such that a 50-million-year-oil volcano in the hot-spot trail sits at the location of Hawaii today. However because the ocean basins really are short-lived features on geologic times scale, reconstruction the world’s geography by backtracking along the hot-spot trail works only for the last 5 percent or so of geologic time.9.According to paragraph 5, volcanic islands help geologists toO reconstruct past geographyO detect changes in mantle plumesO measure the rigidity of tectonic platesO explain why the seafloor spreads10.What can be inferred about the Pacific Plate from paragraph 5?O The hot spots on the Pacific Plate are much older than the ones located on the other tectonic plates.O Most of the volcanic sources beneath the Pacific Plate have become extinct.O The Pacific Plate has moved a distance equal to the length of the Hawaiian Island chain in the past 80 million years.O The Pacific Plate is located above fewer mantle plumes than other plates are.O originalO idealO relativeO present12.According to paragraph 5, why are geologists unable to trace back the entire geologic of continents from hot-spot trails?O Hot spots have existed for only about 5 percent of geologic time.O Hawaii did not exist 50 millions years ago.O Oceanic basins that contained old hot-spot trails disappeared a long time ago.O Hot-spot trails can be reconstructed only for island chains.Paragraph 3: How can volcanic activity occur so far from a plate boundary? The Hawaiian islands provide a very instructive answer. ■Like many other island groups, they form a chain. ■The Hawaiian Islands Chain extends northwest from the island of Hawaii. ■In the 1840s American geologist James Daly observed that the different Hawaii islands seem to share a similar geologic evolution but are progressively more eroded, and therefore probable older, toward the northwest. ■Then in 1963, in the early days of the development of the theory of plate tectonics. Canadian geophysicist Tuzo Wilson realized that this age progression could result if the islands were formed on a surface plate moving over a fixed volcanic source in the interior. Wilson suggested that the long chain of volcanoes stretching northwest from Hawaii is simply the surface expression of a long-lived volcanic source located beneath the tectonic plate in the mantle. Today’s most northwest island would have been the first to form. They as the plate moved slowly northwest, new volcanic islands would have forms as the plate moved over the volcanic source. The most recent island, Hawaii, would be at the end of the chain and is now over the volcanic source.13.Look at the four squares [■] that indicate where the following sentence could be added to the passage.This pattern remained unexplained for a long time.Where would the sentence best fit?14 Directions: An introductory sentence for a brief summary of the passage is provided below.

This is not something out of a science fiction novel–it's reality. “Given the cost of other things in a house, the cost of improving the walls is relatively small but the impact is big,”says Fernando Branco, a professor in the university's Department of Architecture.In Branco's lab, one room is used for large-scale experiments on how to make buildings more efficient and comfortable, bothto live and to work in. The most innovative project in the lab is the WALLS (Wireless Sensor Network for Adaptive Lighting and control of Shades) project. The walls are made up of layers of painted steel which, despite being painted, allow radio waves to pass through the walls also. Chip-sized sensors are placed at different points to collect data on things like temperature and noise levels, and pass it wirelessly to a computer. The data is then translated into actions, such as turning up the heat or making a wall transparent. "I believe that future buildings will be perceptive," says Branco.Builders say the digital walls' energy saving potential will appeal cities wishing to use less power, stores wanting to cut down on their heating costs, and flights-observing homeowners. Walls will be able to adjust color, allowing them to fit in with a surrounding landscape, an example being the wall's ability to greet visitors by lighting up when they ring the doorbell. “The idea is to create surfaces that can interact, sense and respond,” says Branco.29. Fernando Branco believes improving walls in homes is a project that[A] costs little but achieves a lot.[B] requires a lot of money but has a little impact.[C] has large-scale experiments.[D] is essential for every home.30. What do we learn about the WALLS project?[A] Walls can change their shape.[B] Painted steel walls allow light to pass through.[C] Chip-sized sensors are attached only to the outer walls.[D] Sensors are used to collect data and control the walls.31. According to Branco, buildings in the future[A] are able to make decisions.[B] may respond to changes in the environment.[C] cannot make themselves comfortable.[D] need no human control.32. The energy saving potential of digital walls is particularly appealing to[A] big power companies.[B] tech stores.[C] homeowners.[D] city planners.33. How might a wall greet a visitor in the future?[A] By broadcasting a welcome message.[B] By telling the visitor to leave.[C] By lighting up when visitors approach.[D] By making the doorbell ring with music.34. What does Branco hope to achieve through the digital walls?[A] Walls that respond to commands.[B] Surfaces that can interact with the surrounding environment.[C] Surfaces that do not need to be controlled by people.[D] Walls that do not require any maintenance.Questions 35 to 46 are based on the following passage.A “new” kind of large-scale family unit has been identified at Duke University—not a book club group, but a group of students and their parents who live close together in the same town. According to researchers, the existence of thesetown-dwelling families’ comes as a surprise to most–but to theuniversity, it is now well established that students and their families share many dimensions of life while remaining in close proximity.While predictably mother and father have a definite effect on the student’s academic performance, the extent of the effect of parents, the number of years lived together as a family and the changing number of people living in a household are the most significant factors, researchers have found.The 566 students and their parents involved in the study ranged from first-year students to seniors within the university. The study found that the growing sense of the family’s effect on academics was linked to the increased number of years living together and the growing distance between the student’s residence and the university. The mother and father's level of education and their placements at the university, too, were added to the sense of family influence.The study predicts that the change in where a student resides will have an effect on their academic performance. Increasingly social media, entertainment companies, and even parents continue to offer direct instruction and advice along with the presence of a shared space between the student and parents in university towns, the study found.【参考译文】城镇住宿的家庭之所以能够为大学所接受,除了母亲和父亲对学生成绩的明显影响外,家庭作用的程度、家庭共同生活的年限和家庭成员人数的变化是研究人员发现的最重要因素。
