I was always interested in biology. However, it wasn’t until I saw a film about cave diving in secondary
school — in which I 1 divers glide past massive stalactites (钟乳石) — that I 2 I wanted to
study cave animals. The video didn’t mention the creatures 3 in those underwater houses, but I 4
they must be there. More than just naming them, I wanted to understand their ecology, which meant I needed to
study them in their 5 habitat.
Cave diving requires 6 equipment and coordinated (协调) groups. I 7 carry lights and
navigation tools, and bring extra air tanks. During trips, I use nets and test tubes to collect tiny, nearly 8
animals floating in the water. We’ve come to understand that caves are full of life: shrimp, sea stars and worms, all
9 life in low-light environments.
Although underwater caves might seem far removed from surface environments, research has shown that
these worlds are 10 in many ways. In places such as the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico, jungles 11
water directly from underground sinkholes as it 12 towards the sea, where it connects with offshore coral
reefs. If pollutants get 13 , they can affect these ecosystems. I’m researching the resilience (恢复力) of
cave ecosystems to climate change.
If we don’t 14 these mysterious places, they could be gone before we have the 15 to
understand them. And everything that makes them unique will disappear too.

I always loved art. From the moment I could hold a crayon (蜡笔), I was drawing, painting, and creating.
But as I grew older, I was told it wasn’t a(n) “

” career. So, I studied business instead.
For years, I followed the safe path strictly. I got a degree, landed a stable job, and got

, I started sharing my work online, and to my surprise, people loved it.
Encouraged by their support, I took an even bigger leap: I quit my job and
12
my own art studio.
Now, I spend my days doing what I love — creating art and teaching others to embrace (拥抱) their

often
14
the most rewarding journeys. Don’t let fear hold you back from pursuing what sets your

I used to wonder why TV advertisers repeat the same commercial so often. But of course repetition 1

词数:226 话题:生活中需要学会选择和取舍 体裁:夹叙夹议
I knew nothing about flower arranging. My
1
was just to put all the stems into the vase until I
couldn’t fit any more in. As a result, the flowers appear
2
and unbeautiful.
But then I saw vlogs by a Chinese florist (花商), who produces the
3
beautiful arrangements.
First, he creates a structure for the
4
using cut-off lengths of stem. Then, he carefully inserts just the right
stems, one at a time,
5
leaves or greenery and cuts them to the
6
he wants, and finally — and
this is where I am
7
— he cuts off extra
8
on each stem to create a perfectly balanced whole,
where each blossom has
9
to really shine.
I see where he’s going, and I love the result, but it

to cut off beautiful flowers. But when I
watch him, I think about how he’s so
11
. He edits. He doesn’t just get everything in but cuts off the extra
so that what
12
really stands out.
So, if you are a person who loves
13
, you may find that you want too many good things — this is
just my style of flower arrangement. You could

Food has a special way of
1
people. As José Andres said, it brings back memories, unites people,
and
2
us to faraway places. My mom’s
3
cooking in Illinois, a French sandwich from a street
stand in Italy, and a grilled hot dog at the Grand Canyon with my family all hold precious
4
. These
moments remind us that food is more than sustenance — it’s a bridge between hearts, histories, and shared
experiences that linger long after the meal ends.
Trying different foods is like
5
new cultures. Sharing meals helps us understand others better.
Every bite gives
6
insight into the local community, whether it’s the spices of a Moroccan tagine or the
simplicity of a Japanese tea ceremony. That’s why we made a guide to the best
7
in each state, from
Alaska’s salmon salad rooted in Indigenous traditions to Wyoming’s bison burgers celebrating frontier heritage.
We also share a chef’s story of mastering all the recipes her mentor
8
with her, and customers’ tips
on the
9
that transformed her cooking. These tales feel like
10
wisdom from a kitchen
companion, — simple, heartfelt, and deeply warm.
As Anthony Bourdain said, food might not fix everything, but it’s a
11
start. Let’s begin by
12
new tastes. Whether at home or
13
, food connects us uniquely. So
14
a napkin and
enjoy every meal, which is a unique chance to
15
— whether through flavors, stories, or the quiet joy of
a shared table.

This weekend, I’m running my 10th marathon. The weather looks perfect, and I’m ready — thanks to a
1
from the past.
Last year, at the Boston Marathon, I came in fit enough to know I was

However, three miles in, I realized I was hurting way too early. I convinced myself that I would never race in a
marathon again if I just

miles, after which I’d reassess the next

I regained my strength and felt
6
to reclaim whatever time I could. I ended up
7
the last four
miles way faster than my initial pace.
8
, I’d

my

remarkably effective strategy for all kinds of

Many people always aim for ambitious goals like

a dream job or winning an award. These can
be highly

fall short. Instead, focusing on smaller process goals can ultimately shape good outcomes.

I knew exercise is good for health — who doesn’t? But
1
were easier. Running bored me, biking
sounded risky, and the gym seemed too much to handle. Each offered me a reason to
2
it, so I did.
When I worked in Kenya, I came to realize that people there don’t “
3
” the way I had thought.
Instead, they move — with a clear
4
in mind. They move to reach a destination. They move to hunt and
to tend crops. There is no such thing as a

, but they are working out 24-7. Maybe I could take
6
from these people and add meaning to my exercising. So, I launched my
7
program: “chicken-cising,”
with 15 baby chicks and a book on
8
backyard chickens.
It turned out that caring for the flightless birds was quite
9
— a full-body workout involving
bending, squatting (深蹲), weightlifting and running around. One weekend, my e-watch
10
as many as
145 squats and 10,506 steps!
I ended up in better shape than expected and found extra
11
that no gym workout can provide.
First, quitting is not a(n)
12
: You can’t put on your “chicken-cise” clothes, sit for a while, and then
simply decide not to

you have unbeatable workout partners, who
14
respond to your appearance with encouragement. Bah-
Baaaahk! What’s more? Fresh-from-the-hen eggs!
Turning every breakfast into a celebration of my new lifestyle with the best eggs, “chicken-cising” taught me
that movement doesn’t need a gym — it needs

Years ago, I faced a significant challenge with my water bills. As a single man living in my own house, I was
astonished by the
1
amounts I had to pay. A wise old neighbor suggested that I dig a
2
. Following
his advice, I hired an engineer who marked several
3
on my property where he believed we could find
water. However, after digging multiple holes without success, I became quite
4
and almost gave up on the
idea.
But then, a saying
5
to my mind: “When the going gets tough, the tough gets going.” This
6
me to push through, so I encouraged the engineer to keep digging. After
7
more than 1000 feet into the
earth, we finally made it.
This entire experience served as a meaningful
8
for me: in life, we’re all like individuals digging for
wells, whether it’s in building relationships, chasing our dreams, or constructing our futures.
9
, we might
feel like we’re putting in all our time, effort, and energy without seeing any
10
results. However, if we
11
with it and keep digging, we might find that we’re just moments away from the blessings and rewards
we’ve been working so hard for.
So, keep digging in your own life. Don’t give up, even when things are
12
. You are worthy of
achieving your goals. And when you finally reach them, celebrate your success and let everyone
13
your
worth. Keep pushing forward, and you’ll find the water you’re
14
. Remember, every drop counts, and
every
15
you make is a step towards your ultimate goal.

Our family was sitting on the porch swing enjoying the summer breeze when my husband pointed to
something on the swing’s chain next to him. We
1

We wouldn’t have

“You’re just a girl and you fight like a girl!” A boy spoke ill of my boxing performance as he ran away. Like
a rock to a piece of glass, it

my belief that I could do anything that my male classmates could do, and
my confidence

Through the years, I buried those

Many years ago when I had a radio program, one of my listeners called me a “scavenger (拾荒者)”. It wasn’t
meant to be a(n)

. We take people, places, moments for granted and see them as “extras”.
Almost like the show American Pickers. The two main characters scavenge for things that, by themselves are

3.【2021 年浙江卷1 月】 Last year I decided to do some volunteer work. I began to 16 on the Internet
and discovered Volunteer USA.Three months later I 17 myself on a plane to Phoenix, Arizona. I was 18
at the thought of living with loads of new people for three months. However, within fifteen minutes of 19 ,
my worries had gone. Everyone was so 20 and like-minded that it was very 21 to feel at home.
I was sent to the Coronado National Forest for my first 8-day 22 . We had to 23 everything we
needed and walk three miles to where we worked. It may not seem like a 24 way but in 35℃ heat and with a
heavy pack, my legs were on fire.
My job was to 25 a stairway out of rock. This 26 climbing up and down the side of a mountain
inhabited (栖息) by mountain lions, although I should say they were only heard,never 27 .
Three days later, a beautiful stairway came into being. The 28 of knowing that my 29 will be on
that mountainside for years to come is massive.
But on the last night we were 30 in a thunderstorm. I woke up at midnight to find a swimming pool in
my tent. The temperature was close to 31 . I had to spend the rest of the night trembling in the only 32
part of my tent.
33 , I suffered a lot. But I know whatever I have to face in my life I was there and I 34 . I think I
am much 35 for having taken part in the project.

4.【2020 年新课标Ⅰ】 Since our twins began learning to walk, my wife and I have kept telling them that
our sliding glass door is just a window. The 41 is obvious. If we 42 it is a door, they’ll want to go
outside 43 . It will drive us crazy. The kids apparently know the 44 . But our insisting it’s 45
a window has kept them from 46 millions of requests to open the door.
I hate lying to the kids. One day they’ll 47 and discover that everything they’ve always known about
windows is a 48 .
I wonder if 49 should always tell the truth no matter the 50 . I have a very strong 51
that the lie we’re telling is doing 52 damage to our children. Windows and doors have 53
metaphorical(比喻) meanings. I’m telling them they can’t open what they absolutely know is a door. What if later
in 54 they come to a metaphorical door, like an opportunity(机会) of some sort, and 55 opening
the door and taking the opportunity, they just 56 it and wonder, "What if it isn’t a door?" That is, "
What if it isn’t a 57 opportunity?"
Maybe it’s an unreasonable fear. But the 58 is that I shouldn’t lie to my kids. I should just 59

real or metaphorical, they won’t 60 to open them and walk through.

5.【2020 年新课标Ⅲ】 As s businesswoman, I care deeply about my customers. But like anyone for whom
you feel affection, 41 can also drive you mad. They’ll come rushing in, 42 their handbag’s been

for the way she behaved at the beginning. She had split up with her husband the week before, was living in a flat

That taught me a valuable 54 and I pass it on to the people who 55 in the market. Don’t take
it 56 . If a customer is rude or difficult, just think “Maybe she’s had a row with her husband. Maybe her
child’s not 57 .” Always water it down and don’t let your ego (自我) get 58 . If you do, you won’t be
able to 59 it and the whole thing develops into an unpleasant scene and that 60 everyone’s day.
