22、pmentD. to ask more people to join in your teamBTobias Weller is nothing short of extraordinary.At 9-years-old, hes dealt with things most of us wont face in our lifetimes. Simple tasks, like standing on his own two feet, are impossible for him and he requires assistance for most activities we consi
23、der basic. But Just because hes someone who needs help, that doesnt mean he cant give help.At first Tobias decided to complete a sponsored one-kilometer walk. But for some reasons, the race was canceled, and Tobias plans were destroyed.The moment young Weller learned about Captain Tom, a 100-year-ol
24、d British vet who has now raised 41 million dollars for charities by walking in his walker, he decided if a century-year-old man could walk for miles, he could also make it happen.Forget the one kilometer, Tobias was going to walk a marathon26.2 milesin order to raise money for his two favorite char
25、ities. He went up and down his street for months. First with 50 meters a day, but as he grew stronger, the distance expanded and eventually he built up to 750 meters a day. It took him 70 days to cross that finish line, but he did it.His mother, Ruth Garbutt, presented him with a medal as he crossed
26、 the finish line.She said: “Im so, so proud of Tobias. Im bursting with pride for all hes achieved and how hard hes worked during the marathonHe couldnt push the walker at the start of the marathon and now he can, he can push it on the flat and hes proved today he can push it uphill as well.”Honestl
27、y, just wow. The amount of pain and extreme tiredness he must have suffered during his walks is unimaginable. But he never stopped, he just kept pushing, and in the end he raised over $111, 000 for his charities.“Im pleased to raise loads of money. Other children who arent as lucky as me can benefit
28、 from the money thats been raised.” Tobias said.24. Tobias decided to walk a marathon mainly to _.A. challenge himselfB. strengthen his bodyC. contribute to charitiesD. compete with Captain Tom25.

29、Tobias finished it without a walker.D. Tobias was awarded the first prize.26. Which of the following words can best describe Tobias?A. Ambitious and calm.B. Strong-willed and kind.C. Courageous and honest.D. Determined and cooperative.CRegardless of how famous they are, and despite the star treatmen
30、t they receive, many celebrities make it a point to give back to charities. Some have even set up their own private foundations. Their widely publicised visits to troubled areas of the world help to raise awareness of issues such as famine and poverty. According to Jane Cooper of Unicef UK, celebrit
31、ies have a unique ability to reach huge numbers of people, many of whom might not otherwise be engaged in charitable causes. She pointed out that famous faces had played a significant role in raising funds in recent years, and their energies had produced tangible results, such as enabling millions o
32、f children in poorer countries to attend school.But in spite of these successes there is evidence to suggest that celebrity endorsement (代言) may be overrated. In a survey of members of the public to find out if celebrity involvement would encourage people to donate, researchers found that the impact
33、 was not as great as previously thought. When shown a list of well-known organisations and famous people who represent them, over half of respondents were unable to match the celebrity with the cause. Whats more, three quarters claimed that they didnt respond to celebrity endorsement in any way. The
34、 survey also showed that a few names did stand out as being associated with particular charities. But the presence of a celebrity in a campaign, was not a significant factor when it came to a decision to donate time or money. Instead, the majority of people contribute because of personal connections
35、 in their lives and families which make a charity important to them.In another study aimed at young people, most participants cited a compelling (无法抗拒的) mission as their main motivation to give. The second most important incentive was if a friend or peer recommended supporting a particular cause. On
36、ly two per cent of respondents said they were motivated by celebrity endorsement. This seems to contradict the general assumption that teenagers are particularly influenced by famous people. One possible explanation is that there is a general fatigue (疲倦) with celebrity culture. There is also a susp
37、icion that the stars are the one who benefit most when they offer to do charity work. Some critics have accused that celebrities might actually take attention away from issues by attracting more attention than the causes they represent.So taking all these issues into account, is it time for charitie
38、s to rethink their campaign strategies and look for alternative ways to reach new audiences? Whichever point of view you favour, there seems to be opportunities for more research into how charity campaigns might develop relationships with celebrities to maximise their potential. This in turn will op
39、en up more engagement, and better targeted campaigns-which can only benefit those who really matterthe people and animals that are in need of assistance.27. What does the underlined word “tangible” in paragraph I probably mean?A. Definite.B. Complicated.C. Limited.D. Temporary.28. According to the p
40、assage, most people contribute to charities because _.A. they gain benefit from the charitiesB. they are forced to finish a necessary taskC. they believe in the famous people they likeD. they are inspired by the people around them29. The third paragraph is mainly about _.A. what celebrities achieve
41、in doing charitiesB. How young people react to celebrity cultureC. why young people are hardly influenced by celebritiesD. who is to blame for taking attention away from charities30. What is the authors attitude towards celebrity doing charities? A. Objective.B. Positive.C. Negative.D. UnclearDEffec
42、tive monitoring of endangered species is key to their survival. Studying the movement, range and habits of wild animals is essential in order to ensure their habitat remains free from poachers (偷猎者) and development. Traditional methods of monitoring wild animals, especially large ones, include radio
43、-tagging. To do this, individual animals must at first be captured so that collars or tags can be fitted.One organisation that adopted this technique was WildTrack. In the late 1990s, the team was using radio-collars to monitor black rhino in Namibia. However, the team soon realised that the chemica
44、ls used to immobilize the rhino in order to fit the collars had a negative impact on female fertility. Not only that but a large proportion of the radio-collars failed within the first 6 months and had to be replaced. Moreover, as animals grew, the collars would tighten, irritating or even hurting t
45、he animal. The method was not only expensive, but it was also counterproductive, as it changed the rhinos behaviour, thus invalidating (使失效) the data collected. At the same time, the team was working alongside local trackers. Animal tracking is one of the oldest human skills, and these experts had y
46、ears of experience in identifying individual animals by their footprints. They could effectively create a true picture of individual rhinos activities without the use of any invasive techniques. Consequently, the team were interested to know whether the trackers knowledge could be successfully trans
47、lated into an effective, computerised technique for monitoring animal movement.Within each species, each individual has its own unique foot characteristics, in the same way that humans have fingerprints. Thus, if an animal is sighted and identified just once, and the characteristics of its footprint
48、s properly photographed and measured, its footprint can be recognised whenever it is sighted again. If done repeatedly, conservationists can draw up a database of all, or at least a significant proportion of the individuals within the population. After that conservationists can use it to identify an animal and its movements by its print. The data gathered can be used for a range of purposes, for example to monitor biodiversity. WildTrack is currently using footprint identification technolog
