A
We partner with destinations for clean-up and conservation efforts.Our expert's pick of the best choices will help you turn beach dreams into beach days.
Steephill Cove
This traditional fishing cove will make you feel like you've gone back in time, with its brightly painted beach huts and old fisherman's cottages, lobster pots (捕虾篓) and cheery, colorful deck chairs.There is a beach café to the back of Steephill Cove, which serves hot and cold refreshments and food, and there are also restaurants serving locally caught seafood during the season.
Sandwood Bay
Located in the very north of Scotland, this beach is considered to be one of the most untouched in mainland Britain.Unreachable by car, the wild and wonderful beach is accessed by a popular and fairly flat 4-mile-long path from the nearest car park, which adds a sense of remoteness to this charming place.
Nanjizal Beach
Due to its more distant location, amazing Nanjizal Beach is usually very quiet, apart from those walkers who have made the hike on the coastal path from either Porthgwarra, Lands End or Sennen Cove.There are many caves to discover and the ruins of an old watermill, too.
Bamburgh Beach
At any time of year, Bamburgh Beach is one of the most dramatic in the UK, thanks to the impressive castle located on a nearby hill that overlooks the skyline.Bamburgh also has some of the best waves in the UK, which makes it perfect for body boarders.Even if that's not your thing, simply watching from the shore can be a thrilling experience.

Several years ago, Al Nixon decided to begin each day from a bench with a spectacular view of St.Petersburg's waterfront in Florida.“I call it ‘life rising’ because watching a sunrise makes me feel positive and centered before I start my day,” says Nixon, who works for the city's water department.It is Nixon's own version of daily motivation.
A year later, a woman stopped to say hello, and she said something that changed his perspective on his daily ritual.“She said, ‘You know, every morning when I see you sitting here, I know that everything is going to be OK,’” Nixon recalls.“That was when I knew: I needed to pay attention to the people walking past.I needed to make eye contact and let people know that we matter to each other.”
Instead of staring straight ahead at the waterfront, Nixon started smiling at people and striking up conversations.And pretty soon, more than a few early risers began joining him on the bench, sometimes unburdening themselves and telling him their relationship, career or personal problems.“I was happy to listen.I wanted them to walk away knowing they didn't have to feel lonely,” Nixon says.“When you're in your 50s and 60s or beyond, a lot of people feel their purpose hasn't been fulfilled.At this stage in life, this is definitely my purpose.”
So, every morning, weather permitting, Nixon rises at 4:30 a.m.He puts on a hat, sips a cup of coffee, and then drives seven miles to the waterfront, where he'll stay for two hours.His presence, his openness to listen and his kindness towards strangers have led them to nickname him the Sunshine Mayor.
No matter what problem a person wants to air, Nixon lends an ear.But some people just sit down and don't want to talk or share stories.They simply want to sit next to someone and share the silence.“A woman stopped once and said, ‘I just want to sit here with you,’” Nixon recalls.“We stared at the water for an hour, and then she said thank you and walked away.She just wanted a moment of peace and to know she wasn't alone.And in that moment, in that hour, on that morning, she truly wasn't.”
语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Al Nixon在几年前决定用坐在长凳上欣赏海滩风光来开始自己的一天,但是一年后他改变了想法,不仅仅是欣赏风光,他开始对人们微笑,展开对话,学会倾听过往的人们,从而被人们称为“阳光市长”的故事。

Like colourful corals, they rocked gently in the ocean current.Only these were not beautiful natural reefs grown over centuries.They were plastic bags, stuck to the Aegean Sea floor since a waste site slid into the water several years ago.
A team of divers and environmentalists pulled thousands of plastic bags from the water near Greece's Andros Island.The workers described what they found as a “gulf full of plastic corals”.
Seas polluted with plastic have become one of the most shocking signs of human damage to the planet.“It was a very scary thing to see,”said Arabella Ross, a volunteer diver with Aegean Rebreath.The group carries out underwater and coastal clean-ups.“It really shook me and I think it really shook everyone who saw it,” she added.
The Mediterranean is among the seas with the highest levels of plastic pollution in the world, the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) said in a report in June, 2019.Greece produces about 700,000 tons of plastic waste a year, or about 68 kilos per person.About 11,500 tons enter its seas every year.Almost 70% of that returns to the Greek coast, one of the longest in the world.The sea pollution off Andros is thought to date back to 2011, when heavy rain caused a waste site to collapse.Most of the waste fell into the sea.
Aegean Rebreath divers removed blue, black and yellow plastic bags caught between reefs and among fish.“It was like the wonders of the Caribbean Sea, where you find coral reefs of every colour everywhere.It was the exact same thing, but instead of corals there were bags,”diver Arabella Ross said.
The team managed to remove only a small part of the plastic waste they found.They also pulled up 300 kilograms of old fishing traps — known as “ghost nets” — from Andros.In a separate operation off Salamina, a small island near Athens, they removed two tons.
“If people are wondering where their rubbish ends up, we see it each time we go into the water,” Ross said.

The discovery of the ruined palace in the Mosul Dam reservoir on the banks of the Tigris River inspired an archeological dig that would improve understanding of the Mittani Empire, one of the least-researched empires of the ancient Near East, a team of German researchers said.“The find is one of the most important archeological discoveries in the region in recent decades,” Kurdish archeologist Hasan Qasim said.
The palace would have originally stood just 65 feet from the river on a terrace (梯田).A terrace wall of mud bricks was later added to make the building stable.Ivana Puljiz, an archeologist from the University of Tübingen's Institute for Ancient Near Eastern Studies, describes the palace, known as Kemune, as a carefully designed building with mud-brick walls up to 2 meters (6.6 feet) thick.
The team also found wall paintings in shades of red and blue, which were probably a common feature of palaces at the time but have rarely been found preserved.“Discovering wall paintings in Kemune is an archeological sensation (轰动),” Puljiz said in a press release, “Kemune is only the second site in the region where wall paintings of the Mittani period have been discovered.”
Ten clay tablets covered in cuneiform (楔形文字), an ancient system of writing, were also discovered and have been sent to Germany for translation.“From the texts we hope to gain information on the inner structure of the Mittani Empire, its economic organization, and the relationship of the Mittani capital with the administrative centers in the neighboring regions,” Puljiz added.
Archeologists first became aware of the site in 2010 when water levels in the reservoir were low, but this is the first time they have been able to dig.However, the site was submerged (淹没) shortly after the dig, Puljiz said, adding, “It is unclear when it will come out of water again.”
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了伊拉克的摩苏尔水坝水位下降,让一座古老的宫殿意外重见天日。

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
There has been a very serious decline in the numbers of shallow-water fish as a result of overfishing.People still want to eat fish, so the fishing industry must look at other sources, especially the deep waters of the Atlantic.
16
Conservation measures will have to be put in place if these deep-sea fish are to survive.Research on five such species shows that numbers have declined by between 87 percent and 98 percent. 17 Many species could well disappear completely if the present trend continues.These are species that have been swimming in our oceans for hundreds of millions of years.
The problem is emphasized by the fact that the decline in numbers happened in less than twenty years.Deep-sea fish take a long time to reproduce and normally live for many years. 18 The average size of such fish also declined, with one species showing a 57 percent decline in average size.This is of particular concern, as large fish tend to produce more offspring than small ones.
19 The deep-sea species have been caught as if they were the fast-breeding (快速繁殖) fish like sardine and herring.It is like killing elephants as if they reproduced at the same rate as rabbits.
The damage done by overfishing goes beyond the sea environment.Millions of people make a living in the fishing industry. 20 Measures must be taken to not only conserve ecosystems, but also sustain livelihoods and ensure food security.
A.Billions of people rely on fish for protein.
B.Many people now choose not to eat deep-sea fish.
C.Unfortunately, their reproduction rate is very low.
D.This puts them in the category of “critically endangered”.
E.None of these facts has been taken into account by the fishing industry.
F.Overfishing is a major cause of decline in populations of ocean wildlife.
G.This has resulted in a sharp decline in the numbers of many of the species caught.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了由于过度捕捞,浅水鱼类的数量已经急剧下降的现象,并说明了由此导致的严重后果。
16.选G 根据空前一句可推知,空处应承接上文,说明以上做法导致的不良影响。故G选项“这导致许多被捕获物种的数量急剧下降”切题。
17.选D 根据空前一句可知,五种物种的数量下降到了一定程度,已经接近灭绝。故D选项“这使得它们被归为‘极度濒危’物种”切题,This指代上文提到的“numbers have declined by between 87 percent and 98 percent”。
18.选C 根据空前一句可知,深海鱼类繁殖慢。故C选项“遗憾的是,它们的繁殖率非常低”切题。
19.选E 根据空后两句可知,渔业忽略了一些物种繁殖速度慢的事实。故E选项“渔业没有考虑到这些事实”切题。
20.选A 根据空前一句可知,空处与上文为并列关系,说明渔业对人的重要作用。故A选项“数十亿人依赖鱼类获取蛋白质”切题。

My PhD project at South Africa's University of Cape Town is in 26 with a non-governmental organization in saving sandfish. Human activity, climate change, etc., are drying up the rivers. As young sandfish try to 27 upstream (上游地), they now get 28 in shallow tributaries. The sandfish population has decreased by more than 90% since we began keeping count. They're now regarded as 29 species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature.When the river starts to dry up, we 30 young sandfish and put them into buckets of water, then move them by truck to prepared fish nurseries (鱼种场) 31 by local people. The support from local people is amazing. Once the sandfish are large enough to be less threatened, we will 32 them to the natural ecosystem.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Two things changed my life: my mother and a bike basket. It's true. I would be a different person if my mom hadn't turned a bike basket into a life lesson I carry with me today — a lesson about the value of efforts.
My mother and father were united in their way of raising children, but it mostly fell to my mother to actually carry it out. Looking back, I honestly don't know how she did it. Managing the family budget must have been a very hard task, but she made it look effortless. If we complained about not having what other kids owned, we'd hear something like, “I don't care what so-and-so got for his birthday. You are not getting a TV in your room or a big party.” We had to earn our allowance (零用钱) by doing chores (家庭杂务) around the house. I can still remember how long it took to polish the legs of our coffee table. My brothers can no doubt remember hours spent cleaning the house. We had to keep track of our belongings, and if something was lost, it was not replaced.
It was one summer day. My mother drove me to the bike shop to get a tire fixed — and there it was in the window — white, shiny, plastic and decorated with flowers. The basket winked at me and I knew I had to have it. “It's beautiful,” my mother said when I pointed it out to her. “What a neat basket.”
I tried to hold off at first,but then I couldn't stand it any longer. “Mom, please can I get it? I'll do anything, please, Mom, please?” I was desperate.
“You know,” she said, gently rubbing my back while we both stared at what I believed was the coolest thing ever, “if you save up, you could buy this yourself.”
“By the time I have earned enough, it'll have gone! Someone else will buy it. Please, Mom, please?”
“There might be another way,” she said.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
“I'll buy it now but you only get it after 3 weeks of double chores,” Mom explained.
Finally, I got my dream basket, but soon I sadly found the same basket on others' bikes!
参考范文:
“I'll buy it now but you only get it after 3 weeks of double chores,” Mom explained. I agreed immediately and Mom bought the flowery basket and kept it somewhere I couldn't find. Each day, I finished my new routine of double household chores with passion and enthusiasm. Each night, I crossed off another day on the calendar as I counted down to the day.As the days passed, the basket seemed to become even more beautiful in my imagination. The extra chores didn't bother me. The basket was worth it. The anticipation grew stronger as the days ticked away.
Finally, I got my dream basket, but soon I sadly found the same basket on others' bikes! So shocked and upset was I that I immediately went home to report this disaster to my mom. Seeing my sulky face,she gently wiped away my tears. Holding my little face in her warm hands, she spoke out what has become the lesson I still carry with me today. “Your basket is not the same basket. It's unique because it was not obtained by mere money but by your worthwhile effort and waiting.”
