Four Best Animal Rescue Organizations in London
Battersea Dogs&Cats
Founded in 1860, this organization treats over 7,000 animals with love and care each year. With a hospital, qualified vet (兽医), and a team of dedicated carers, this state-of-the-art facility offers stray (流浪的), abandoned, and unwanted pets comprehensive treatment. The facility also takes in pets whose parents may be unable to meet their needs and matches them with suitable homes and families.
Mayhew
Established in 1886, the facility which accommodates all kinds of pets, including those who need new homes and those rescued outside the shelter, rescues over 1,100 dogs annually. It works hard to ensure pets who come to the facility are equipped with the skills to make them a better member of a new family through enrichment programs that address their physical and physiological needs. The team also works with pet parents to help them improve their relationship with their pets.
Celia Hammond Animal Rescue
Founded in 1986 by a model named Celia Hammond, this charity grew from her early campaigns against animal cruelty. The organization also offers treatment and training to help dogs who have not been given proper care and love. The organization has comfortable facilities for dogs in need of new homes before they can be adopted or re-homed and on-site pets who help rescued pets through their recovery process.
All Dogs matter
It is a registered charity working in and around London to rescue dogs and help them find loving forever homes. The rescue organization was founded in 2009 to transform the lives of unwanted, abandoned, and stray dogs in the UK and around the world.

Students at Franklin Middle School not only got to play carnival (狂欢节) games during school hours, but also raised money for a good cause. The eighth-graders from Phillip Whitworth’s classes did this by selling tickets for admission to the Annual Carnival Fundraiser, where they packed into the school’s gymnasium and played a huge variety of carnival games. The funds raised go toward a charitable organization that drills water wells in Africa.
“Knowledge is useless without action,” Phillip said of the event, which was started by Phillip and his wife in 2019, inspired by a book read in the school district called A Long Walk to Water. The novel tells the story of a fictional character named Nya, an 11-year-old South Sudanese girl who has to walk eight hours a day to bring home water, and the real-life Salva Dut, who founded an organization called Water for South Sudan.
To raise money, the Whitworths and Phillip’s students organized the school’s first annual carnival in 2019. Every year, the students choose the games that most people like and sell tickets to their classmates, and get donations from businesses and personal connections.
Camryn Robinson, an eighth-grader, found the experience of gathering donations stressful but added that it helped improve her communication skills. “A lot of people don’t take children seriously at first. But if you show people that it’s not just a carnival — it’s something that’s bigger than that, they will listen,” Camryn said.
Over the years, the students have raised money to drill three new wells and repair another three in South Sudan. This year, the students sold a little over 700 tickets for $5 each, so they raised around $3,500. But when factoring in business and personal donations, the students have raised more than $10,000, with donations still coming in.
“We might not be able to solve the whole problem, but we can absolutely make a difference for some people,” Phillip said.
24. What role did A Long Walk to Water play in the fundraising campaign
A. It inspired Salva Dut to join the mission. B. It taught students to organize a carnival.
C. It led to the start of the charitable cause. D. It motivated businesses to donate money.
25. What do Phillip’s students do for the annual carnival
A. They drill wells in person. B. They organize some games.
C. They work at different companies. D. They collect tickets from cinemas.
26. What did Camryn Robinson say about gathering donations
A. It was very rewarding. B. It was unchallenging.
C. Kids shouldn’t get involved. D. Most people initially supported it.
27. What is paragraph 5 mainly about
A. Phillip’s objective comments. B. Dramatic changes in South Sudan.
C. The outcome of the students’ efforts. D. Donations from all over the world.
C
No one is sure exactly when or how the invasion (入侵) began. However, in 2014, when Asian common toads (蟾蜍) were officially spotted in Madagascar’s largest seaport, scientists immediately sounded the alarm. These invasive toads produce a poisonous chemical, stored in specialized glands (腺体) behind their eyes, which could spell death for any native species attempting to hunt them — a major threat to Madagascar’s biodiversity. Cane toads, which can remain poisonous long after they’re dead, created a similar problem when introduced to Australia in the 1930s.
The poisonous parts, known as parotoid glands, do not just allow toads to wreak havoc as invasive species. They probably also helped toads spread across large parts of the planet millions of years ago, according to research published in mid-October 2025.
Evidence suggests toads got their start in South America but it is unclear exactly when and how they spread to other continents. To find out, the scientists of the research analyzed DNA from 124 species across six continents. Their rebuilt evolutionary history confirmed that toads originated in South America approximately 61 million years ago; however, it also uncovered something unexpected: Instead of entering Asia from North America via the land bridge, early toads appear to have crossed directly from South America to Africa.
The team also discovered a rapid rise in the number of new species shortly after toads began to spread out of South America, which happened during a historic transition known as the Eocene-Oligocene extinction event, about 33.5 million years ago. During that same period, toads evolved their parotoid glands.
Some of this evolutionary history appears to be repeating itself with modern invasive species. Although toads have spread around the world, there were a few barriers that were too much for them. Toads never made it on their own to Australia, for example, or crossed the Mozambique Channel from Africa to Madagascar and the nearby Mascarene Islands. Now, with a little help from humans, they have crossed these final frontiers.
28. What do the underlined words “Wreak havoc” mean in paragraph 2
A. Spread across remote regions. B. Cause significant damage.
C. Contribute to local biodiversity. D. Engage in dangerous hunting.
29. What happened to toads during the period of the extinction event
A. They lost their parotoid glands. B. Their species diversified quickly.
C. Their population dropped sharply. D. They began entering South America.
30. What can we learn from the text
A. Human activities are threatening toads. B. Toads made it on their own to Australia.
C. The birthplace of toads remains a mystery. D. Humans play a role in the spread of toads.
31. From which is the text most probably taken
A. A science magazine. B. A geography textbook.
C. A government environmental report. D. A blog post on wildlife protection.
D
In 1998, researchers Larry Page and Sergey Brin published a paper titled The Anatomy of a Large-Scale Hypertextual Web Search Engine. In the paper, they anticipated the rise of algorithms (算法). Later that same year, the two developed the search algorithm, PageRank, which revolutionized the early web by prioritizing pages according to the number and types of links on each page.
Today, PageRank is still around, but it has fallen victim to algorithms. The broader web landscape has abandoned its original promise: to enable us to be the best and most genuine version of ourselves. Instead, we’re trapped in a system that emphasizes sameness and discourages individuality, all at the hands of algorithms that have gone wild.
Algorithms make it impossible to go online without encountering content that claims it’s been “selected for you”. But they don’t recognize how complex and ever-changing human tastes can be. Because of their overly simplistic calculations, we are rarely shown anything new, different, or exciting. For example, Spotify listeners end up hearing the same songs and artists over and over.
The combination of the universality of algorithms and the addictiveness of the platforms threatens to flatten our individual tastes. The algorithms push us all toward the same ideas while making it harder for free-thinkers and subcultures to rise up. But innovation requires those who are willing and able to go against algorithmic trend cycles. Societal innovation and advancement at large will stagnate (停滞) in such environments.
We already see this happening. It’s why every single new movie is either a reboot, remake, requel, prequel, or sequel (续集). And it’s why the clothes younger generations consider trendy look similar to what we wore in our childhood.
Undoubtedly, algorithms are here to stay. But if we hope to avoid innovation stagnation, taste must be returned to its rightful owners. We all have a hand in making that happen.
32. How did Larry Page and Sergey Brin affect the web in 1998
A. They boosted its development. B. They broke its original promise.
C. They prevented it from going wild. D. They shifted its focus to individuality.
33. What can be known about the algorithm-controlled content we get according to paragraph 3
A. It can always amaze and excite us. B. It is based on complex calculations.
C. It matches our ever-changing tastes. D. It features repetition and predictability.
34. Why are the examples mentioned in paragraph 5
A. To highlight the universality of algorithms.
B. To analyze the reason for algorithmic stagnation.
C. To explain the concept of algorithmic trend cycles.
D. To show how algorithms negatively impact innovation.
35. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text
A. To remind us to make full use of algorithms.
B. To encourage innovation in algorithmic design.
C. To urge us to reclaim our own taste from algorithms.
D. To demonstrate the incredible power of algorithms.

67. 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。
On my first day at the new company, the boss introduced Gary, an elderly “archive (档案) specialist” working at a corner desk with an old computer, to me. In his office, the boss explained, “We have thousands of paper records from the 70s to the 90s. If you need anything from the older records, you can email Gary, but it may take him a day or two to locate specific files. For anything urgent, please come directly to me.”
In the following weeks, I sent occasional emails to Gary with archive requests, as I noticed my co-workers doing. Yet, I also observed how they would often stop by his desk for a brief, warm word in person after hitting “send”. Though Gary’s replies were always courteous (礼貌的), they were often delayed by days. The work progressed at a pace that seemed at odds with any business urgency. Most tellingly, I observed the boss would stop by his desk every single day — not to check work, but to share a quiet chat or simply place a fresh cup of tea beside him.
Why would the boss, a busy businessman, entrust such a position to a man who worked so slowly Why did he — and indeed, the entire office — treat Gary with such consistent, personal care that went far beyond professional courtesy

Dear Mark,
I’m writing to share a suggestion about the long-unused plot of land near the school library. I believe it would be wonderful to transform it into a small botanical garden for students.
Currently, this vacant space not only looks untidy but also wastes valuable land resources. Instead, a green zone where various flowers and plants thrive can provide a place for everyone to relax and connect with nature. It can also serve as an outdoor learning spot for biology classes and help raise environmental awareness among us.
I truly hope that you can consider my proposal and make our campus more lively.

Sensing my confusion and curiosity, Lisa decided to tell the whole story. She said seriously, “The sudden loss had hit Gary hard. The ‘archive specialist’ role, the salary drawn from the boss’s own pocket, and even our gentle requests — all are part of a carefully woven safety net. Its purpose is to rebuild a life — to give Gary a reason to get up each morning and a sense of structure. Most importantly, the net makes him feel needed and valued within a community.” Her words struck me deeply, and my confusion dissolved into a wave of respect.
From that day on, I approached Gary with the same thoughtful care as others. Instead of only sending emails, I would sometimes walk to his desk with a physical file, asking for his insight with genuine interest. Seeing his eyes light up as he worked, I finally understood the power of a quiet, collective act of love, where every interaction, no matter how small, wove another thread of dignity and connection into the fabric of his days. In this company, we all were guardians of a gentle secret, protecting a person’s place in the world.
One Friday afternoon, my curiosity finally overflowed. I cautiously voiced my confusion to a senior co-worker, Lisa, during a coffee break. “I don’t fully understand,” I began. “The archive task doesn’t seem to have any deadline. And everyone’s patience with Gary is remarkable.” Upon hearing my tentative words, she glanced toward Gary, then back at me, and said gently, “Gary was the boss’s first employee. He retired from our company two years ago. Unfortunately, he lost his wife last year and now lives alone.” My eyes were wide open, and I whispered, “But why...”
