Conservation Volunteers for Endangered Animals
Overview
The program in Australia is meant for all those animal lovers who want to volunteer abroad for a meaningful
cause and contribute effectively toward the well-being of the native animals. Being a volunteer, you’ll get to work
at a rescue center or a shelter, which has lots of animals in care at any given time.
Program Requirements
Volunteers must be 18 years old or older, with an open mind and a flexible attitude to working in a new and
different environment. The program is open to all and you do not need any necessary qualifications (资历)to join it.
Participants should be prepared to work outdoors and should be fit and healthy. Volunteers must note that this is a
hands-off project and you are not allowed to touch animals unless given specific permission.
Volunteer Roles & Responsibilities
As a volunteer for this program, every day your activities may consist of:
*preparing food for the animals
*cleaning the animal enclosures(围场)
*keeping the project grounds clean and tidy
During Your Free Time Volunteers can choose to spend time in Gladstone or start to do some of the interesting
things in the surrounding areas. The Great Barrier Reef is a good choice for volunteers to do a dive course or live
aboard. Only minutes from the project location is Gladstone’s famous natural landmark Mount Larcom. It is
commonly referred to as the “lion mountain“, because it looks like a lion and a lioness that are facing each other.
At the heart of the city is Goondoon Street, where volunteers can explore the Library Square, the site of the city’s
monthly produce and arts and crafts market.

A tree-planting initiative in Kenya has seen over 30,000 trees being planted. The Green Generation Initiative is
a Kenyan charity that has been planting trees to counter climate change and the reduction in forest in the East
African nation since 2016.
Founded by climate activist Elizabeth Wathuti when she was fifteen years old, the initiative’s primary focus is
on developing young climate activists through environmental education in schools and addressing food insecurity
in the region through planting fruit trees. Since its foundation, over 30,000 trees have been planted in Kenya, while
thousands of school children have not just planted trees but adopted them to ensure that young people learn the
importance of acting as a guardian over the health of the environment. The trees have recorded a survival rate of
over 98 percent, as they remain tended to from young trees to maturity.
Speaking to world leaders at the recent United Nations Climate Conference in Glasgow (COP26), Elizabeth
issued a serious warning on the threat of climate change. Over two million of Kenyans are facing climate related
starvation. In 2025, half of the world’s population will be facing water shortage. The climate crisis will displace 80
million people in sub-Saharan Africa alone.
Elizabeth said, “I have been doing what I can. Inspired by the great Wangari Maathai, I founded a tree growing
initiative that enhances food security for young Kenyans.” So far, they have grown 30,000 fruit trees to maturity,
providing desperately needed nutrition for thousands of children. “Every day we see that when we look after the
trees, they look after us. We are the adults on this Earth right now, and it is our responsibility to ensure that the
children have food and water,” she added.
4. What is the initiative intended for?
A. Making policies. B. Raising money.
C. Educating adults. D. Fighting climate change.
5. What crisis are Kenyans encountering at present?
A
.
Hunger. B. Sickness C. Water shortage. D. Economic risks.
6. What has been achieved since 2016?
A. 3,000 trees have been planted.
B. Green awareness has been raised.
C. 80 million people have been saved.
D. School education has been guaranteed.
7. Which of the following can best describe Elizabeth Wathuti?
A. Friendly and talented. B. Caring and responsible.
C. Honest and determined. D. Ambitious and humorous.
C
The word “inquiry” (or enquiry) comes from the Latin words “in”, or “inward”, and “quaere”, which is the
verb “to question”. So inquiry is not just asking questions, it is questioning into something. It has the quality of
getting into something, going deeper, so you can see what you haven’t been able to see before.
When you begin an inquiry, you are deliberately setting out to search for what you don’t know. You have to
have the confidence to say that you might be able to figure it out for yourself. And in that process, you get a sense
of real excitement and energy. That energy is both part of, and contributes to, what we often call “engagement(参
与)”. But in order to use inquiry to answer your question, you have to become good at knowing what you don’t
know. I would argue that that’s exactly the opposite of what happens in schools. Classrooms focus on what you do
know (or are supposed to know) and leave you unprepared to deal with the things you don’t know.
In some ways, we are all surrounded by a bubble(气泡) of the known. When you “know” something, you
identify how your model of the world fits with and explains what you see. Living in the bubble of the known is
comfortable and comforting. You see what you know, and you know what you see. But to do inquiry, you have to
get good at always looking for the boundaries of your knowledge, and at the limitations and contradictions within
what is known. That is what scientists do. They are always looking for the limits, the boundaries and the points at
which their theories fail to explain the world. Scientists, basically, are always looking for that “door” from the
known to the unknown, where they can press forth and push and, in a sense, expand the bubble of the known.
Inquiry is the action you take when you deliberately challenge the limits of your knowledge.
8. What does the writer want to tell us?
A. The meaning of inquiry. B. The way to make an inquiry.
C. The method of classroom teaching. D. The limitation of classroom teaching.
9. From the first paragraph, we can see the word “inquiry”
A. has different meanings B. comes from the English language
C. has little to do with asking questions D. means exploring deeper into something
10. To be good at inquiry, you should be good at ___.
A. asking for help from others B. knowing what you don’t know
C. staying focused in the classroom D. understanding what is taught to you
11. What does the underlined word “where” refer to?
A. The door to the unknown. B. Within the bubble.
C. In the real world. D. In the world of the unknown.
