夏天在椴树下消失原文阅读

夏天在椴树下消失原文阅读

夏天在椴树下消失原文阅读英文回答:In the heart of a verdant forest, where sunlightdappled the emerald canopy, stood a majestic linden tree.Its gnarled trunk, a testament to its ancient history, reached towards the heavens, its emerald leaves rustling softly in the summer breeze. Beneath its spreading branches, where dappled sunlight danced upon the verdant undergrowth, lay a secluded glade.It was here, on a sweltering summer day, that a young woman named Anya sought refuge from the oppressive heat. As she lay upon the soft moss, enveloped in the dappled shadeof the linden tree, a peculiar sensation crept over her. A gentle breeze carried the sweet scent of linden blossoms, mingling with the earthy aroma of the forest floor. The air seemed to shimmer and dance before her eyes, as if infused with an ethereal glow.As Anya closed her eyes, surrendering to the hypnotic rhythm of the forest, her thoughts drifted like wisps of smoke carried by the wind. Her mind wandered throughdistant memories and unspoken dreams, until consciousness itself seemed to dissolve into the shimmering tapestry of the summer glade.Unbeknownst to Anya, as she drifted into a state of reverie, the boundaries between the physical world and the realm of the unseen began to blur. The linden tree, withits ancient wisdom and deep roots in the forest, became a conduit between the two worlds. Its leaves rustled and whispered, as if sharing secrets known only to the ancient trees.And so, in the hidden embrace of the linden tree, Anya disappeared. Not in a physical sense, but in a subtle shift of consciousness. Her body remained in the glade, but her spirit soared beyond the confines of the mortal realm. She became one with the forest, her essence entwined with the trees, the flowers, and the creatures that inhabited this verdant sanctuary.中文回答:在苍翠繁茂的森林深处,阳光斑驳着绿宝石般的树冠,矗立着一棵庄严的椴树。

Herb Chasan could have eased into retirement after spending 18 years teaching math to high school students. But the octogenarian couldn’t rest. It wasn’t until eight years ago that he stepped into one of the city’s poorest neighborhoods. He noticed a group of children wandering nearby with nothing to do. He couldn’t shake the image from his mind, and it became the driving force for Hoops and Homework, an after-school program that has provided activities and tutoring for youth up to age 14.Since 2012, Hoops and Homework has helped more than 300 children who otherwise would have gone home to empty houses or roamed the streets until their parents got off work. Thanks to Mr. Chasan and dedicated staff and volunteers, the children instead have spent industrious afternoons making crafts, playing basketball, learning violin and yoga, gardening, and basking in the attention of a small army of tutors. “Our goal is to help these kids break the cycle of poverty and jail to have a good job, to be a success,” says Mr. Chasan.Within a few months, he secured $81,000 in town funding to start the program. It takes $170,000 annually to run the center. Hoops and Homework has encouraged people from different parts of the community to volunteer during the after-school sessions because they can tell the children “someday you may be doing that job, we love to have role models come in.”The program goes beyond helping children. Most of the staff members are bilingual, which enables them to serve the largely Spanish-speaking community. “My English is not good,” says Keila Cupid, a parent who lives close to the center. But the mother of 11-year-old Cupid is clear in expressing her gr atitude for Hoops and Homework: “It’s a safe space for my daughter when I am away to my English class.”1. What motivation made Chasan decide on Hoops and Homework?A.Homeless neighborhood kids. B.Parents being engaging in work.C.The volunteers in the community. D.Children aimlessly walking around.2. What activity is available in Hoops and Homework?A.Making crafts. B.Baking food. C.LearningSpanish. D.Doing extra homework.3. Which statement does Chasan agree with?A.More money should go to charity.B.More people should join in voluntary work.C.More community centers should be built.D.More after-school activities should be considered.4. From the passage, we can infer________.A.starting an organization is tough B.Keila Cupid is studying SpanishC.parents can benefit from the program D.the community kids must have asuccessful career3. Should you share goals or keep them private? You’ll find conflicting answers if you turn to Google. Some say sharing goals cannot live up to one’s expectations because you’ll feel rewarded before actually doing anything to achieve them. The Arabs have for centuries voiced a similar message in the proverb “the more you surround your candle, the more it remains lit”. More recently, the idea became wide spread in 2010 with a TED talk titled “Keep your goals to yourself”.“In most cases you get more benefit from sharing your goal than if you don’t—as long as you share it with someone whose opinion you value,” Howard Klein told Ohio State News. Klein and hi s colleagues conducted several studies on goal-sharing. In one, the results showed that working adults frequently do share goals and are more likely to be committed to achieving those goals when they’re shared with people who are perceived to be of higher status.A second study involved 171 undergraduate students who were asked to play a game. After the first round, the students were asked to play the game again, but this time they had to set a goal. The researchers separated the students into three groups. For one group, the students had to share their goals with a lab assistant who was dressed in a suit and introduced himself as a doctoral-level student in the business school who was an expert on the topic. For another group, the lab assistant was a casually dressed man who identified himself as a student at a local community college. A third group wasn’t asked to share their goals with anyone.The results showed that people who shared their goals with the high-status person not only-showed higher commitment to achieving the goal, but also performed better in the game. Meanwhile, the two other groups showed similar commitment and performance. Klein said, “You want to be dedicated and unwilling to give up on your goal, which is more likely when you share that goal with someone you look up to and whose opinion you value and which might incentivize you to achieve your goals.”1. What message does the Arab proverb express?A.Setting goals makes you more determined.B.Sharing your goals with others gets benefits.C.Keeping your goals secret is the best policy.D.Publishing your goals makes you rewarded.2. What can be inferred from Klein’s two studies?A.How students consider the two lab assistants matters most.B.Adults are more likely to achieve their goals than students.C.Adults are more committed when speaking out their goals.D.The experiment on the third group turned out fruitless.3. What does the underlined word “incentivize” mean in the last paragraphA.Assist. B.Encourage. C.Intend. D.Advise.4. According to Klein, how can you be fully devoted to your goal?A.By discussing it with your friends.B.By sharing it with respected people.C.By maintaining your performance.D.By questioning people of high status.4. This week record-breaking temperatures of more than 40’C were forecast in Britain. Schools closed and hospitals cancelled routine appointments. The Royal Air Force had to rearrange flights from its biggest air base after the runway melted. In mainland Europe, things were bleaker still. After weeks of drought, a heatwave sparked wildfires in France, Greece, Portugal and Spain. Parts of America are struggling through one of their hottest summers ever. And many places of eastern and southern China have seen unusually high temperatures in recent weeks.Why are all of these places suffering extreme heat at the same time? Climate change has made heatwaves more frequent. Very hot temperatures that were once rare occur more frequently and heatwaves that were once impossible come to pass. The temperatures in Britain this week fit into the second category(II),says Richard Betts, a climate researcher with the British Met Office. Similarly, modelling carried out by the World Weather Attribution group, a research coalition, found that last year’s unprecedented heatwave in the Pacific Northwest would have been ”virtuallyimpossible“ without climate change. New records will be set as long as humans continue to burn fossil fuels and destroy carbon-storing ecosystems.Whatever the cause, the consequences are disastrous. Heatwaves kill people and worsen existing health conditions. Heatwaves can cause crops to suffer, as happened this spring in India. In three northern states, yields probably fell by between 10%-35%. If several “breadbasket” arc as are affected there will be worldwide shortages, pushing up prices. Other systems are at risk, too. Heat can disrupt everything from manufacturing to transport. Last weak factories in Zhejiang province in China were forced to ration(定量供应)power to ensure enough supply for air-conditioners in nearby homes. Heatwaves often stretch energy grids(电网)to breaking point. In places where electricity is moved across borders, a stream of power from somewhere not affected can help stabilize the grid. But simultaneous(同时的)heatwaves make that complicated. In an interconnected world,regions rely on each other to cope with disaster. Which becomes much harder when the disasters arc happening in many places at once.1. What is the first paragraph mainly about?A.Extreme heat breaks out across the globe.B.The new temperature record has been set in some areas.C.Natural disasters are increasing due to the extreme heat.D.Many places arc actively fighting against extreme heat.2. What can we learn from paragraph 2?A.There used to be frequent heatwaves and high temperatures.B.The British feel more comfortable when the temperature is II.C.One of the critical factors in extreme heat is human activities.D.It is impossible to experience extreme heat in Pacific Northwest.3. What problem would heatwaves cause globally according to the last paragraph?A.Low birth rate.B.High crop price.C.Less factoriesD.Global warming.4. What does the underlined pronoun “that” refer to in the last paragraph?A.Stretching energy grids.B.Rationing power in factories.C.Generating power.D.Moving electricity across borders.5. The door opens and you are amazed at seeing people jumping and flying around like superheroes. Calm down, you are not in a Marvel film, just a trampoline (蹦床) park.In recent years trampolining has become a new craze among Chinese youths. Short videos are regularly uploaded to social media showing people’s excitement about jumping back and forth on the colorful trampolines. Most videos feature teenagers. 1 .Ms Shi, a 28-year-old from Beijing, goes to trampoline parks almost every weekend. She said “When I was a child, I loved bouncing up and down on the trampolines, though they were just small and simple ones. They made me feel free and happy. 2 .”It’s true that today’s trampoline parks are bigger, more professional and more creative. 3 . you can obviously jump, play in the inflatables (充气垫), or shoot basketballs like an NBA superstar. Also, if you're brave enough, you can learn to walk on the wall.“Trampolining is so much fun. It doesn't feel like exercising at all.” Ms Shi said.4 . According to Robert Smith, a British sports therapist, “The trampoline pad is bouncy and absorbs a large amount of the impact of your landing, so your bones and joints are protected and strengthened at the same time.”Unlike playing soccer, basketball, tennis or any other competitive sports, the risk of injury while trampolining is relatively low. 5 . “You must do warm-up exercises before playing. And you can't lose concentration dur ing the movements,” Peter Cheng, a die-hard trampoline fan, who also owns a trampoline park, warned.While outdoor activities are largely up to the weather, the indoor trampoline parks are really good places to go whenever you are seeking a fun cardio workout (有氧运动).6. When I was a boy, my parents owned a small grocery store. As I ________ those days, many people come to mind. One such person was Nick.I still remember the first time I saw him—or perhaps “experienced” him is a more ________ term. The moment he entered the store I could feel a rush of ________ fill the place. Singing at the top of his lungs, Nick made quite a(n) ________.Nick had great enthusiasm for life. I really admired him for his ability to be completely himself and at ________ with everyone he met and in every situation. For me, his ________ wasn’t really what he did or how he did it, but rather that he was absolutely comfortable simply being himself — a true free spirit. The memory of Nick ________ me of the encouraging phrase, “Dance like no one is________.”Countless times I’ve resisted expressing myself simply because I didn’t want to ________ looking silly or foolish. I often ________ my true self behind a wall of insecurity, but respect those who________ this inhibition (压抑). No ________ this is why I remember Nick so fondly, for he was who he was, and didn’t fo r a second ________ any of it back. Whether you loved him or hated him, Nick most certainly danced to his own ________ and never apologized for it.Perhaps someday I, too, will have the courage and confidence to ________ the steps to that dance.1.A.keep track of B.make use of C.think back to D.come down to 2.A.academic B.appropriate C.abstract D.advanced3.A.wind B.fear C.smell D.energy4.A.entrance B.exit C.fortune D.mistake5.A.war B.sea C.odds D.ease6.A.appearance B.credit C.appeal D.achievement 7.A.informs B.relieves C.reminds D.warns8.A.watching B.singing C.thinking D.hearing9.A.mean B.risk C.allow D.avoid10.A.display B.hide C.expose D.enjoy11.A.lack B.have C.exhibit D.bear12.A.idea B.way C.doubt D.excuse13.A.pay B.give C.take D.hold14.A.role B.style C.tune D.way15.A.recognize B.learn C.praise D.remember7. 阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容 (1个单词) 或括号内单词的正确形式。

火柴已经消失了的英语作文

火柴已经消失了的英语作文

火柴已经消失了的英语作文The Vanishing MatchesIt was a cold and dreary winter's night, the kind where the wind howls through the bare branches and the snow clings to every surface, muffling the world in a blanket of white. I sat huddled by the dying embers of the fireplace, trying in vain to coax a few more precious flames from the glowing coals. But alas, my matches had long since been exhausted, and the last feeble sparks were fading fast.As I stared into the growing darkness, I couldn't help but reflect on how quickly the simple act of lighting a fire had become such a challenge. It was only a few short years ago that a box of matches had been a ubiquitous presence in every household, a reliable tool that allowed us to easily ignite candles, lamps, and the hearth with the mere strike of a wooden stick. But now, those familiar matchsticks seemed to have vanished, like ghosts in the night.I remember the day I first noticed their disappearance. I had gone to the local general store, intent on replenishing my dwindling supply, only to be met with a puzzled shopkeeper who informed me thatthey no longer carried matches. "Too much of a fire hazard," he had explained, shrugging his shoulders. "The insurance companies won't allow it."At first, I thought it was just an isolated incident, a quirk of that particular store. But as I ventured to other shops and markets, the story was the same – no matches to be found. It seemed that the once-common household item had been systematically phased out, replaced by electronic lighters and safety-conscious alternatives.The loss of matches was more than just an inconvenience; it represented a fundamental shift in the way we interacted with the world around us. Gone were the days of striking a flame, of watching the tiny spark burst into a dancing blaze. Instead, we were forced to rely on technology, on the push of a button or the twist of a dial, to provide us with the warmth and light we so desperately craved.I couldn't help but wonder what had led to this change. Was it the fear of fire, the ever-present concern for safety that had driven this transition? Or was it something more sinister, a calculated move by corporations and industries to further distance us from the natural world, to make us dependent on their products and services?As the last embers faded and the room descended into darkness, I found myself longing for the simple pleasures of the past. Thesatisfying scratch of the match against the rough surface, the momentary flare of light, the gentle glow of the flame – these were the sensations that had once brought me comfort and joy. Now, they were mere memories, relics of a bygone era.I sat there, shivering in the cold, and wondered what the future held. Would we ever see the return of the humble match, or were they destined to become nothing more than a quaint curiosity, a relic of a simpler time? The uncertainty weighed heavily on my mind, and I couldn't help but feel a deep sense of loss for the small things that had once brought us such simple pleasure.As the night wore on, I eventually succumbed to the chill, curling up in a blanket and drifting off to sleep. But even in my dreams, the absence of matches haunted me, a constant reminder of the ways in which the world was changing, often in ways we couldn't fully comprehend or control.。

灯光消失的英语作文The Disappearance of Light。

Yesterday, something strange happened. As I was sitting in my room, the lights suddenly went out. At first, I thought it was just a power outage, but then I realizedthat all the other houses on my street still had their lights on. I checked the circuit breaker, but everything seemed to be in order. I even tried to change the light bulb, but it didn't work.I was puzzled and started to feel uneasy. It wasgetting dark outside, and I couldn't see anything in my room. I tried to use my phone's flashlight, but it wasn't very helpful. I decided to go outside and see if I could figure out what was going on.As I stepped outside, I noticed that the streetlights were still on, but all the lights in my house had disappeared. It was as if someone had cast a spell to makethem disappear. I looked around, but there was no one in sight. I started to feel scared and wondered if I should call the police.Just then, I heard a strange noise coming from the bushes. I cautiously approached the bushes and saw a small creature with glowing eyes staring back at me. It was a firefly! I had never seen one before, but it was beautiful.I watched as it flew away, leaving a trail of light behind it.Suddenly, it hit me. The firefly was the reason why my lights had disappeared. It had flown into my room and had caused a short circuit. I felt relieved and amused at the same time. It was a simple explanation for a strange occurrence.As I went back inside, I realized how much I had taken light for granted. It was such an essential part of our lives, and yet we hardly ever think about it. The disappearance of light had made me appreciate it even more.In conclusion, the disappearance of light was a strange and scary experience. However, it taught me to be more aware of the things around me and to appreciate the small things in life. Who knew that a firefly could cause such a commotion?。

珊瑚礁越来越少的英语作文

珊瑚礁越来越少的英语作文

The Declining Numbers of Coral ReefsIn recent decades, the number of coral reefs worldwide has been steadily declining, posing a significant threat to the marine environment and its biodiversity. Coral reefs are not just breathtaking natural wonders; they are also essential habitats for numerous marine species and play a crucial role in maintaining the balance of our oceans.The main causes of coral reef degradation are varied and complex. One of the major factors is climate change, which has led to rising sea temperatures. Coral reefs are highly sensitive to temperature changes, and when the water gets too hot, coral bleaching occurs, causing the coral to lose its color and eventually die. This phenomenon has been observed increasingly frequently in recent years. Additionally, pollution from human activities, such as industrial waste and runoff from agriculture, has also contributed to the decline of coral reefs. These pollutants can contaminate the water and affect the coral's ability to grow and reproduce. Furthermore, overfishing has depleted the populations of many fish species that feed on algae, allowing algae to overgrow and smother the coral.The loss of coral reefs has profound implications formarine biodiversity. Coral reefs are home to an estimated 25% of all marine species, including many that are unique and found nowhere else. With the degradation of coral reefs, these species are facing an increasing risk of extinction. Moreover, coral reefs play a crucial role in protecting coastlines from erosion and storms. The intricatestructures of coral reefs provide a natural barrier that breaks down the strength of waves, reducing their impact on shorelines. With the loss of coral reefs, many coastal communities are now more vulnerable to the effects ofnatural disasters.It is imperative that we take action to protect coral reefs. Measures such as reducing carbon emissions to mitigate climate change, implementing stricter regulations on pollution, and promoting sustainable fishing practices can help preserve these fragile ecosystems. Furthermore, we should invest in research to develop new methods for restoring and regenerating coral reefs.In conclusion, the declining numbers of coral reefs are a grave concern for the marine environment and itsbiodiversity. With immediate action and sustained efforts, we can help protect these precious ecosystems and ensure their survival for future generations.。

第6次大灭绝英语作文

第6次大灭绝英语作文The sixth mass extinction is happening right now, andit's terrifying. Species are disappearing at an alarming rate, and we are to blame. Our destruction of habitats, pollution of the environment, and overexploitation of resources are driving countless plants and animals to extinction.It's heartbreaking to think about all the beautiful creatures that we may never see again. The majestic tigers, the graceful dolphins, the colorful coral reefs – they are all at risk of disappearing forever. We must take action now to protect these species before it's too late.The loss of biodiversity is not just a tragedy for the animals and plants themselves, but for us as well. We are all interconnected in the web of life, and when one species disappears, it can have a ripple effect on the entire ecosystem. We rely on biodiversity for clean air, fresh water, and food – without it, our own survival is at risk.We can't afford to sit back and do nothing while the sixth mass extinction unfolds before our eyes. We must make changes in our own lives to reduce our impact on the planet. Whether it's reducing our carbon footprint, supporting conservation efforts, or advocating for stronger environmental policies, we all have a role to play insaving our planet.The sixth mass extinction is a wake-up call for humanity. We have the power to make a difference, but we must act now. Let's come together to protect and preserve the incredible diversity of life on Earth before it's too late.。

当第六次生物大灭绝来临叙事英语作文

全文分为作者个人简介和正文两个部分:作者个人简介:Hello everyone, I am an author dedicated to creating and sharing high-quality document templates. In this era of information overload, accurate and efficient communication has become especially important. I firmly believe that good communication can build bridges between people, playing an indispensable role in academia, career, and daily life. Therefore, I decided to invest my knowledge and skills into creating valuable documents to help people find inspiration and direction when needed.正文:当第六次生物大灭绝来临叙事英语作文全文共3篇示例,供读者参考篇1When the Sixth Mass Extinction ArrivesI'll never forget that fateful day when the reality of the sixth mass extinction event truly hit me. It was just another Thursday morning as I got ready for school, rushing through my usualroutine of showering, dressing, and inhaling a subpar breakfast bar as I raced out the door. Little did I know, the mundane normalcy I took for granted was about to be shattered forever.I made it to my third period Biology class just as the bell rang. Mr. Stevenson was already reviewing the PowerPoint slides projected on the screen at the front of the room. As I took my seat, I noticed today's lesson was titled "Biodiversity and the Sixth Mass Extinction." I vaguely remembered learning about the five previous mass extinctions in our Earth's history, wie the End Permian event that wiped out 96% of marine species and 70% of terrestrial vertebrates. But I had no idea the dangers facing our modern world."Who can tell me what a mass extinction is?" Mr. Stevenson asked as he scanned the classroom. My hand instinctively shot up, the usual eye roll from my classmates following suit. I was what you'd call a "teacher's pet.""A mass extinction is defined as a period of exceptionally elevated extinction rates impacting a wide range of taxonomic groups across the planet over a relatively short period of geological time," I recited perfectly from the textbook definition. Mr. Stevenson nodded approvingly."Correct. And what evidence suggests we are potentially in the midst of a sixth mass extinction event unlike anything our species has ever witnessed?"The PowerPoint slides began revealing a stark series of facts and figures: annual extinction rates up to 1,000 times higher than in prehistoric times, the massive scale of habitat loss and fragmentation, the incalculable impacts of climate change. My eyes grew wider with each bullet point, the weight and urgency of this crisis becoming inescapable.When the class ended, I lingered to discuss the topic further with Mr. Stevenson, a gnawing sense of dread and guilt already festering inside me. All the telltale signs of this unfolding ecological collapse were happening right before our eyes, yet why did it feel like so few people truly understood or cared?Over the following days and weeks, I became obsessed with learning everything I could about biodiversity loss and the impending mass extinction. I read articles, watched documentaries, pored over data – anything to grasp the scale and severity of this existential threat to life on Earth.What I discovered shook me to my core. This sixth extinction crisis wasn't the plot of some dystopian sci-fi movie, but a horrifying reality we were hurtling towards at speeds difficult tocomprehend. Experts predicted that up to 50% of all plant and animal species could be extinct by 2100 if we remained on our current trajectory. Entire ecosystems like coral reefs and rainforests were already beginning to unravel.I felt engulfed by a confusing swirl of emotions – devastation, anger, hopelessness. How could humanity be so destructive and careless, jeopardizing the very environmental systems that make our existence possible? Didn't people realize we needed a planet capable of supporting life to survive ourselves?My research led me to a Four Horsemen driving this crisis: habitat destruction, overexploitation, pollution, and invasive species. But underpinning all of it was climate change, a lurking threat multiplier that was grinding away at the resilience and adaptive capabilities of species everywhere.In the wake of this existential reckoning, my priorities shifted massively. Teenage things that once dominated my worldview –school drama, friends, social status – paled in urgency compared to this code red for life itself. I became an annoying doomsayer, ranting to anyone who would listen about the biodiversity crisis and the catastrophic future awaiting if we didn't change course immediately.My parents thought I was depressed and overreacting. My friends stopped inviting me to hangouts, either out of discomfort over my unrelenting extinction talk or thinking I was handling things unhealthily. Maybe I was, descending into a spiral of eco-anxiety and panic. But how could I not freak out over developments that could unravel the environmental tapestry that sustains our civilization?Feeling helpless, I threw myself into activism and organizing.I joined my school's environmental club and badgered school administrators about ramping up recycling and sustainability initiatives. I attended rallies, circulated petitions, bugged my parents to change their consumption habits. Nothing felt like enough when confronting a crisis of this enormity, but I had to do something to channel my anger and fears into action.As the severity and inevitability of this mass extinction event sank in, I imagined the world my generation and those after would inherit. A world with a quarter of all species extinct, keystone predators and pollinators vanished, ecosystems transformed beyond recognition or full collapse. The environmental disintegration, resource scarcities, conflict, and suffering that mass extinctions catalyze filled me with dread.Would we be the first species in Earth's history to witness our own demise in such a harrowing, drawn-out way? I tried to picture stumbling through a shattered, ecologically-depleted world ravaged by the misdeeds of past generations. Something hardwired deep in my lizard brain couldn't accept the finality and permanence of extinction – those blinking lights on the evolutionary tree, extinguished forever.In my darkest hours, I wondered what the point of planning for a future career or life path was if the prognosis for our planet's life support systems looked so dire. I was a smart, ambitious student, but would any amount of individual success matter on a world spiraling into ecological Armageddon?Those feelings of despair and nihilism were overwhelming and utterly disorienting for a teenager still grappling with life's fundamentals. I bounced between wanting to disengage entirely from a society seemingly indifferent to its own existential trajectory, to transforming into an impassioned environmental warrior doing whatever it took to protect what remained of our natural world.As I write this essay months later, I'm still haunted daily by the looming mass extinction that could unfold during my lifetime. But I've also developed a deeper, tragic appreciation for just howintricately my future is bound to the fate of our biosphere. My generation's inheritance is an existential crisis the likes of which humanity has never encountered before.We are the first humans having to grapple with our role as both inheritors and potential perpetrators of a mass extinction event. The choices we make in coming decades about how we inhabit this planet will quite literally shape the composition of life itself for millions of years to come.Confront the staggering loss of biodiversity continuing to accelerate around us, and the in-motion mass extinction event is impossible to unsee or ignore. The biological scope and interconnectivity of this crisis is mindboggling, a terrifying problem surfacing at scales for which we have no analogs or visceral human experiences.Comprehending the enormity of what's at stake this century for all life on Earth – our actions quite literally determining how much of evolved nature on this planet continues its evolutionary journey or blinks into oblivion – can overwhelm the adolescent mind still figuring out abstract questions of purpose and meaning.This burden of extreme generational responsibility is one I wish no young person had to wrestle with. But the existentialclouds this mass extinction event summons forces a reckoning and bout of climate-conscious maturity into young lives before their cosmic timing.We hold tragedy on an geological scale in our hands, yet also the utmost responsibility – and opportunity – for planetary stewardship and symbiosis that any generation has confronted. How we rise to this multigenerational challenge to co-exist with the systems of a thriving Earth will quite literally write the future composition and abundance of life itself into deep time's annals.My teenage self is losing innocence to mass extinction before my sleepover days are over. But with that loss comes a solemn calling – to bear witness, understand, and then apply the urgency such grim realizations demand. To transform ecological demise into existential courage and resolve. To realize we are a generation born into biological crisis requiring a monumental planetary intervention of repair, sustainability and healing.There are still flickering paths ahead where humanity's light lasts, rather than smoldering into ashen oblivion. To continue the upward journey of complexity's unfolding on this Earth – the hard-fought, open-ended story that life's resilience and exuberant inventiveness has scripted across 4 billion years of adaptive chapters and near-misses.Realizing this anthropogenic mass extinction event is finally breaching my numbed adolescent awareness, rousing an existential maturity ahead of its cosmic schedule. My teenage self's generational call is to perceive, grieve, and then become an unresting intercessor between two worlds – a depleted biosphere's篇2When the Sixth Mass Extinction ArrivesI can still remember that fateful day when the news broke - scientists had confirmed we were in the midst of the sixth mass extinction event in the history of planet Earth. It was a moment that shook the world to its core, and one that would change the trajectory of human civilization forever.I was sitting in biology class, only half-listening to Mr. Jenkins drone on about the intricate details of photosynthesis, when the principal's voice crackled over the intercom. "Teachers and students, please turn on your classroom televisions for an important announcement from the United Nations."A hush fell over the room as we all turned our attention to the large flat-screen mounted on the wall. There, a grim-faced spokesperson stood at a podium, the emblem of the UNemblazoned behind her. She wasted no time in delivering the devastating news."After years of mounting evidence and heated debate within the scientific community, a comprehensive study by the International Union for Conservation of Nature has concluded that the planet is currently experiencing a mass extinction event on par with the five previous catastrophic extinctions in Earth's history."My heart dropped into my stomach as the full weight of those words hit me. A mass extinction - the kind of event that had wiped out the dinosaurs 66 million years ago and paved the way for the rise of mammals. Except this time, it wasn't a giant asteroid or volcanic eruption that was the culprit. It was us - human beings and our relentless exploitation of the planet's resources.The spokesperson went on to detail the staggering statistics. Species were disappearing at a rate thousands of times higher than the natural background extinction rate. Entire ecosystems were collapsing, from the once-vibrant coral reefs to the lush rainforests that had stood for millennia. Climate change, habitat loss, pollution, and the introduction of invasive species were all contributing factors in this ecological Armageddon.As the reality of the situation sank in, a wave of emotions washed over me. Fear, for the uncertain future that lay ahead. Anger, at the generations of shortsightedness and greed that had brought us to this precipice. But most of all, a profound sense of sadness for all the wondrous species that would be lost forever, the rich tapestry of life on Earth unraveling before our eyes.In the days and weeks that followed, the topic of the mass extinction dominated every conversation, every news cycle, every social media feed. Protests erupted around the globe, as people took to the streets to demand action from their governments. Scientists and environmentalists, who had been sounding the alarm for decades, finally had the world's attention.But it was already too late to stop the extinction event in its tracks. The damage had been done, and the consequences were now unavoidable. All we could do was try to mitigate the worst of it and adapt to the rapidly changing world around us.Governments scrambled to implement measures to protect what remained of the planet's biodiversity. Vast swaths of land and ocean were designated as nature reserves, off-limits to human activity. Stringent regulations were put in place to curbgreenhouse gas emissions and pollution. But for many species, it was already too late – they had reached the point of no return.In our classrooms, the curriculum shifted to reflect the new reality we were facing. Biology lessons were no longer just about memorizing the structures of cells or the intricacies of the carbon cycle. They became urgent lessons in conservation, sustainability, and the interconnectedness of all life on Earth.We learned about the cascade of consequences that would ripple through ecosystems as species disappeared. The delicate balance of nature, honed over billions of years of evolution, was being disrupted in ways we couldn't fully comprehend. Food chains would collapse, vital ecological services like pollination and nutrient cycling would be disrupted, and the overall resilience of the planet's systems would be compromised.Our teachers didn't sugarcoat the reality we were facing. They told us that in our lifetimes, we would witness the extinction of iconic species like the polar bear, the African elephant, and the great apes. Entire islands and coastal regions would be swallowed by rising seas, displacing millions of people and creating a refugee crisis unlike anything the world had ever seen.But they also instilled in us a sense of hope and responsibility. We were the generation that would have to rise to the challenge of safeguarding what remained of the natural world and paving the way for a more sustainable future. It was a daunting task, but one that we had no choice but to embrace.As I look back on those pivotal years, I can't help but feel a profound sense of loss for all that we've sacrificed in the name of human progress. The sheer magnitude of species and ecosystems that have been wiped from existence is almost too much to comprehend.But I also feel a sense of determination and purpose. Our generation has taken up the mantle of environmental stewardship, dedicating our lives to preserving what little remains of the planet's biodiversity and working tirelessly to restore what has been lost.It hasn't been an easy path, and there have been countless setbacks and disappointments along the way. But we've also had our victories, our moments of hope and progress that remind us that all is not lost.The reintroduction of species once thought extinct, the recovery of degraded habitats, the development of sustainabletechnologies and practices – these are the milestones that give us the strength to carry on.And perhaps most importantly, we've learned the hard lessons of our past mistakes. We've come to understand that we are not separate from nature, but an integral part of the delicate web of life that sustains us all.As I look ahead to the future, I can't help but feel a sense of cautious optimism. The path ahead will be challenging, but we are more prepared than ever before to meet those challenges head-on.We know that we can never undo the damage that has been done, that the scars of this mass extinction will be etched into the geological record for eons to come. But we also know that we have the power to shape the future, to ensure that no such catastrophe ever occurs again.It is a responsibility that weighs heavily upon us, but one that we embrace with a sense of purpose and resolve. For we are the guardians of this planet, the stewards of its precious biodiversity, and the architects of a new, more sustainable world.And as we look back on this pivotal moment in human history, we can take solace in the fact that we did not stand idlyby as the sixth mass extinction unfolded. We took action, we learned from our mistakes, and we charted a new course for a future where humans and nature can coexist in harmony.It is a future that may seem distant and uncertain at times, but one that we will never stop striving towards, for the sake of all life on this incredible planet we call home.篇3The Sixth Mass Extinction: A NarrativeI remember that fateful day when the reports first started coming in about a strange new virus that was rapidly spreading across the globe. At first, it seemed like just another pandemic scare that would blow over after a few months. But this time was different. This virus didn't just infect humans - it had the ability to jump across species boundaries and infect all forms of animal life on Earth.Within weeks, previously abundant species started declining at an astonishing rate. Animals that had weathered millions of years on this planet were suddenly dropping like flies. Ecologists termed it the "Sixth Mass Extinction" and warned that if left unchecked, upwards of 75% of all species could be wiped out.I was just a teenager at the time, but the gravity of the situation was not lost on me. Every night on the news, there were more and more reports of mass die-offs - forests stripped bare of all life, oceans turned into silent graveyards. It was like a scene from one of those apocalyptic movies, except this was our harsh reality.The world's governments came together and threw all their resources into developing a treatment, but the virus was a slippery foe. By the time an effective antiviral was ready for mass distribution two years later, the damage had already been done. Countless species had been driven to extinction, entire ecosystems destroyed forever.I still have vivid memories of those two years of chaos and uncertainty. Food supplies grew precariously thin as livestock populations were decimated. Crucial ecosystem services like pollination, nutrient cycling, and pest control broke down. The collapse was being televised in real-time.One image that will be forever seared into my mind is the day they announced that elephants had gone extinct in the wild. These glorious beings,,who had roamed the planet for millions of years, wiped out in the blink of an eye. I remember watching the last remaining elephants in zoos succumb to the virus one byone, their bodies left to rot in their enclosures. An iconic piece of the natural world, gone forever because of human inaction.And elephants were far from the only casualty. The great apes, big cats, rhinos, bison, sharks - all suffered the same fate. Ecosystems like rainforests and coral reefs that had taken millions of years to form were stripped bare. The natural splendor that had graced our planet since the dawn of life had been brutally erased.In the aftermath, it felt like the entire world was in mourning. Tears were shed over the loss of creatures most of us had never even seen in person. Every child's sense of wonder was dampened by the cold reality of a diminished, impoverished world.While humanity ultimately survived thanks to our cities and plant agriculture, the natural world around us will never be the same. So much beauty lost forever, so much potential snuffed out before its time. All because we failed to take action to protect the fragile web of life that covers this pale blue dot.Those of us who survived will have to work tirelessly to preserve what little wilderness remains. Great swaths of the planet may need to be turned into protected corridors to allow species to migrate and re-establish themselves. Cutting-edgebiotech like gene editing and synthetic biology will likely be needed to restore genetic diversity and resurrect some of the ecosystem engineers we so thoughtlessly let slip away.But no matter how hard we work to pull the natural world back from the brink, it will be a shadow of its former self. The Sixth Mass Extinction has ensured that the wonders I took for granted as a child will be something my grandchildren will only read about in history books. All they will have are memories, photographs and fossil records of the incredible richness of life that once graced our planet.This stark new reality is a reminder that failed to be good stewards of our only home. We let our obsession with short-term growth and consumption blind us to the incalculable importance of the natural systems that allowed civilizations to flourish in the first place. Protective regulations and conservation efforts were endlessly delayed and defunded by those who valued profit over life itself.Now we are paying the ultimate price for our shortsightedness. The debt we've racked up can never truly be repaid, for how does one put a price on the wonders of Creation itself? All we can do is learn from this tragedy and build a societythat values life over wealth. Otherwise, there will be no future to invest in.Those were the thoughts racing through my mind as I watched a pride of lions being loaded into transport crates, the last remaining survivors after the antiviral came too late. Their inquisitive eyes met mine through the metal grates. In that moment, I made a solemn vow that my life's work would be to ensure no other child would have to grow up in a world deprived of such majesty.That fateful day, amidst the smoldering ruins of the untold marvels we had failed to protec, the seeds of a new environmental ethos were planted within me. The carefree days of my youth were over. A new generational struggle, one for the very soul of life on Earth, had begun. And I intended to be at the forefront.。

有趣的实验消失的头发丝的作文

有趣的实验消失的头发丝的作文英文回答:The Disappearing Hair Experiment is a fun and easy science experiment that can be done at home with just a few simple materials. In this experiment, you will observe howa hair strand can seemingly disappear before your very eyes. Materials:A glass of water.A hair strand.A white piece of paper.Instructions:1. Fill a glass with water.2. Place the hair strand on the white piece of paper.3. Hold the paper at an angle and look at the hair strand through the water.4. Observe what happens to the hair strand.Results:When you look at the hair strand through the water, it will appear to disappear. This is because the light passing through the water is refracted, or bent. The refraction of light causes the hair strand to appear to be in a different location than it actually is.Explanation:The Disappearing Hair Experiment is a simple example of how refraction can affect the way we perceive objects. Refraction is a common phenomenon that occurs when light travels from one medium to another. When light travels from a less dense medium to a more dense medium, it bendstowards the normal. In the case of the Disappearing Hair Experiment, the light is traveling from air (a less dense medium) to water (a more dense medium). This causes the light to bend towards the normal, which makes the hair strand appear to be in a different location.Conclusion:The Disappearing Hair Experiment is a fun and educational experiment that demonstrates the principles of refraction. This experiment can be used to teach children about the way that light travels and how it can affect the way we perceive objects.中文回答:消失的头发实验是一个有趣且简单的科学实验,只需使用一些简单的材料即可在家中进行。

火柴已经消失了的英语作文

火柴已经消失了的英语作文

火柴已经消失了的英语作文英文回答:Matches have largely disappeared from our everyday lives, becoming a relic of the past. In the pre-electric era, matches were ubiquitous, providing a convenient and readily available source of ignition for everything from candles to gas stoves. However, with the advent of more reliable and convenient lighting technologies, such as electric lighters, matches have gradually faded into obscurity.The decline of matches can be attributed to several factors. Firstly, electric lighters are more reliable and easier to use than matches. They produce a consistent flame with the flick of a button, eliminating the need for fumbling with matchsticks and striking them against a rough surface. Additionally, electric lighters are reusable, making them a more economical choice in the long run.Secondly, matches pose a fire hazard. When lit, they produce an open flame, which can easily ignite flammable materials if proper care is not taken. Electric lighters,on the other hand, have built-in safety features, such as child-resistant mechanisms and automatic shut-off switches, to minimize the risk of accidental fires.Finally, matches have been rendered obsolete by advances in technology. The development of electronicignition systems in gas stoves, ovens, and other appliances has eliminated the need for matches as a source of ignition. These systems provide a safe and convenient way to ignite appliances with the simple press of a button.As a result of these factors, matches have become increasingly marginalized in our daily lives. They arestill used in some remote areas and for specific purposes, such as lighting campfires or fireworks, but their widespread use has diminished significantly.中文回答:火柴已经从我们的日常生活中大范围地消失了,成为了过去的一种遗物。

第六次生物大灭绝英语作文

第六次生物大灭绝英语作文

第六次生物大灭绝英语作文The sixth species extinction is caused by human activities, which is manifested by the destruction of plant living environment, climate change, invasion of alien species, overuse of natural resources and pollution and other factors, causing many species to extinction or near extinction. By the end of the 21st century, global warming is expected to result in 1 / 2 of the plants facing survival threats, and more than 2 / 3 of the vascular plants may be completely lost. Experts warn that human beings should realize this situation as soon as possible, in the face of the possible sixth species mass extinction, take protective measures to protect species diversity, reduce the emission of harmful substances, to avoid human intrusion by natural disasters. The year 2010 is the International Year of Biodiversity designated by the United Nations. On July 18, the Capital Science Lecture Hall invited Ma Keping, director of the Institute of Botany of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and secretary-general of the International Biodiversity Program, to believe that the earth may be entering the sixth mass extinction because of human activities. Some foreign scholars even believe that theextinction rate of contemporary biological species is 1,000 times faster than the natural extinction rate. The World Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN)'s 2004 red List included 15,589 species threatened by extinction, including 12 percent of birds, 23 percent of animals, 32 percent of amphibians, 25 percent of gymnosperm, 52 percent of cycas and 42 percent of turtles.A wetland bird in Madagascar called the German Minor (Alaotra grebe) is now extinct, from which many scientists say The Earth is facing its sixth mass extinction. There have been five mass extinctions on Earth, including the fifth, at the end of the Cretaceous period 65 million years ago, when 20 percent of terrestrial vertebrates, 16 percent of Marine life and almost all mammals died. However, the first five biological extinctions were all caused by environmental factors, while the upcoming sixth mass extinction was caused by human pollution.。

6 Heathcliff disappears6 希斯克利夫失踪了1778—9 Hindley came into the kitchen,swearing terribly,just as I was about to hide little Hareton,in a cupboard.I was always afraid that Hindley would hurt his small son,either by accident or on purpose,when he was drunk,so I tried to keep Hareton out of the way.But this time Hindley discovered my plan.1778—1779年。

我正想把小哈里顿藏进饭橱里,亨德雷就骂骂咧咧地进到厨房。

我一直怕亨德雷会在喝醉了酒后有意无意地伤害他的小儿子,所以我想法儿让哈里顿别碍事。

但这次亨德雷看出了我的心思。

‘Ah,you keep my son in a cupboard,do you!’he cried angrily,picking up a sharp kitchen knife.‘With the devil's help I'll make you swallow this,Ellen!’And he pushed the knife between my teeth.“啊,你把我儿子放在饭橱里,是吗!”他火气冲冲地嚷道,拿起一把锋利的菜刀。

“看在魔鬼的份儿上,我要让你把它吞下去,艾伦!”说着把刀塞进我的牙缝。

I was never afraid he would hurt me,and calmly took the knife out of my mouth.我从没怕过他会伤害我,很镇静地把刀从我口里拿出来。

‘But that can't be my son,can it?’he continued aggressively,staring at the frightened littlebboy.‘If it is,he should be punished for not running to greet his father.Perhaps I'll cut his ears off!’And then suddenly his manner changed.‘No,Hareton,darling,don't cry!Kiss me,kiss your father!What?You won't?Then I'll break your neck!’“但这不可能是我儿子,对吗?”他又挑衅似地接着说道,瞪着被吓坏了的小男孩。

“如果这是,他应该受到惩罚,因为他没跑出来问他父亲好。

或许我会割掉他的耳朵!”然后他的态度突然变了,“不,哈里顿,亲爱的,别哭!亲亲我,亲亲你父亲!怎么?你不?那我就拧断你的脖子!”Poor Hareton,screaming wildly,was carried upstairs by his father.Suddenly Hindley stopped on the stairs to listen,almost forgetting what he was holding.Heathcliff had come into the house and stood at the bottom of the stairs,looking up.Just then the child jumped out of Hindley's arms and fell.I onlyhhad time to gasp inkhorror,before I saw that Heathcliff had caught him.可怜的哈里顿狂呼乱叫着被他父亲抱向楼上。

亨德雷突然在楼梯上停下听着什么,几乎忘了他抱的是什么。

希斯克利夫来到屋里,站在楼梯下面往上看。

就在这时那孩子跳出亨德雷的手臂,掉落下来。

就在我吓得倒吸冷气的时候,只见希斯克利夫一把接住了他。

Heathcliff stared down at the child he was holding.He must have felt sorry he had saved the life of his enemy's son.I rushed to take the poor little boy in my arms,and Hindley came slowly downstairs.希斯克利夫紧盯着他手中抱着的孩子。

他一定后悔救了他仇人儿子的命。

我赶上去把那可怜的小男孩接到我怀里,亨德雷慢条斯理地朝楼下走来。

‘Look what you've done,Mr Hindley!’I cried.‘You nearly killed your own son!What would his mother say if she were alive?’“看您做了些什么,亨德雷先生!”我叫道。

“您差点弄死自己的儿子!如果他妈还活着会怎么说?”‘Take him away,Ellen And you,Heathcliff,go away too.I won't murder you tonight,unless perhaps I set the house on fire.But that depends how I feel.’And he poured himself a drink.“把他带走,艾伦。

还有你,希斯克利夫,也走开。

我今晚不会杀你,除非可能我把这房子烧了。

但那得看我心情如何。

”他给自己倒了杯酒。

‘Don't drink any more,Mr Hindley!’I begged.“别再喝啦,亨德雷先生!”我乞求道。

‘What difference does it make?’he growled.‘Get out,both of you!To the devil with you!’“那又怎么样?”他咆哮道。

“滚,你们两个都滚!你们见鬼去吧!”We left him swearing at us,and went back into the kitchen.我们没理会他对我们的咒骂,回到厨房。

‘It's a pity he can't kill himself with drink,'muttered Heathcliff.‘Dr Kenneth says he'll live longer than any of us,he's so strong.’“可惜没喝死他,”希斯克利夫低声说。

“肯尼士大夫说他会比我们命长,他那么壮。

”He walked out of the door and,I thought,into the fields In fact I discovered later that he was sitting just under the window,and could hear everything that was said in the kitchen.他走出门,我想是到田里去了。

其实到后来我得知他当时坐在窗户下面,厨房里说什么他都能听见。

I was singing little Hareton to sleep when Catherine came in.我哼着曲儿催小哈里顿入睡时凯瑟琳进来了。

‘Are you alone,Ellen?'she whispered.‘Where's Heath cliff?’“你一个人吗,艾伦?”她小声说。

“希斯克利夫哪儿去啦?”‘He's out on the farm,’I answered.“他去农庄了,”我回答。

She looked sad and worried,and I even saw a tear or two on her face.But I had not forgotten how she had lied,and behaved so badly to me as well as to Edgar Linton,so I did not feel sorry for her,or encourage her to talk.她模样忧郁,心事重重,我甚至看到她脸上有一两滴泪珠。

但我没忘她是如何说瞎话的,还有对我和艾加·林顿那样粗暴,所以我不同情她,也不想听她说什么。

‘Ellen,will you keep a secret for me?'she asked in the end,giving me her sweetest smile.‘I must tell you!I need your advice.Today Edgar Linton has asked me to marry him,and I gave him an answer.Now,before I tell you if it was yes or no,you tell me which I should have said.’“艾伦,你肯为我保密吗?”她最后问道,露出了她最甜美的微笑。

“我必须告诉你!我需要你的意见。

今天艾加·林顿向我求婚了,我给了他个答覆。

现在我先不说是‘是’还是‘不是’,你告诉我应该怎么说。

”‘Really,Miss Catherine,how can I know?Perhaps you should have refused him.He must be a fool to ask you,after you were so rude and violent this afternoon.’“说真的,凯瑟琳,我怎么知道?也许你应该回绝他。

今天下午你对他那么粗暴无礼他还向你求婚,一定是个傻瓜。

”‘Well,I accepted him,Ellen!'she said crossly.‘But should I have done so?Should I?What do you think?’“哼,我接受了他,艾伦!”她愠怒地说道。

“可我该这么做么?我应该么?你怎么想?”‘First,do you love him?’I asked.“首先是,你爱他吗?”我问。
