这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了世界自然基金会的核心工作——拯救自然。
229．
考查动词时态。句意：近60年来，我们一直致力于通过应用现有的最佳科学并与当地社区密切合作，找到拯救地球上各种生命的解决方案。根据句意以及时间状语For nearly 60 years可知，谓语动词make应用现在完成时，结构为have/has done，主语we是第一人称复数。故填have made。
230．
考查名词复数。句意：近60年来，我们一直致力于通过应用现有的最佳科学并与当地社区密切合作，找到拯救地球上各种生命的解决方案。根据句意“各个（不同）种类”可知，此处可数名词variety为复数概念，应用其复数形式。故填varieties。
231．
考查动名词。句意：近60年来，我们一直致力于通过应用现有的最佳科学并与当地社区密切合作，找到拯救地球上各种生命的解决方案。根据空格前的介词by可知，此处应用动词apply的动名词形式作介词宾语。故填applying。
232．
考查连词。句意：但我们的工作远未完成。后文“our work is far from done”和前文“For nearly 60 years, we ___1___ (make) it our duty to find solutions that save the ___2___ (variety) of life living on our planet by ___3___ (apply) the best science available and working closely with local communities.”之间是转折关系，没有逗号隔开，故用转折连词but连接，句首字母大写。故填But。
233．
考查定语从句引导词。句意：人类是当前物种灭绝速度的幕后推手，这至少比自然预期的高100到1000倍。分析句子可知，空格处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词为the current rate of species extinction，指事物，在从句中用作主语，应用关系代词which引导。故填which。
234．
考查动词时态。句意：而且其影响远远超出了未来老虎、犀牛和鲸鱼等重要物种可能遭受的文化损失。根据时间状语in the future可知，谓语动词应用一般将来时，结构为will+动词原形，有些动词（包括reach）可以用现在进行时（be doing）表示将来，因主语the effects为名词复数，故填are reaching/will reach。
235．
考查形容词。句意：世界自然基金会参与了从南非黑犀牛到喜马拉雅山黑雄鹿等野生动物的成功恢复工作。修饰名词stories，应用形容词。故填successful。
236．
考查介词。句意：很明显：我们不能在拯救一个有生命的星球的任务中失败。介词in“在……方面”，符合句意，fail in sth“在某事上失败”是介词和动词固定搭配。故填in。
