A Natural Wonder That Impressed Me\
Among all the natural wonders in the world,Mount Qomolangma impresses me most.It is located on the border of China and Nepal and is famous as the highest mountain in the world.Learning about it makes me feel the magic of nature deeply.
This wonder is full of amazing facts.First,its height is surprising—it reaches 8,848.86 metres,and scientists say it is still growing taller.Besides,it has harsh but unique conditions:temperatures can drop to -30 degrees,and climbers have to fight against thin air and changeable weather.What's more,Chinese climbers made history here—they first reached the top from the northern "Death Road"in 1960 and measured its height accurately in 2020.Their spirit of exploration inspires me a lot.
Visiting Mount Qomolangma is my dream.It teaches me that nature is both powerful and respectful.We should protect such wonders so that they can keep amazing the world.After all,nature's greatness lies not only in its size but also in the connections it builds with humans.

【跨地理·蓝洞】(2025湖北武汉模拟)
A blue hole is a flooded sea cave (洞穴) with a hole that opens up at the land’s surface. These cave systems form in carbonate rock, often on islands. Far below sea level there are some of the hardest environments on Earth,
with no oxygen (氧) and no light. Yet these areas are filled with life forms that have got usedto such conditions.
Blue holes get their name from the color that some have when seen from the air. It is usually a reflection of the sky on the water. ______ Some have dark or muddy water.
Blue holes have several layers of water, chemicals and bacteria (细菌). The top layer of fresh water comes from rainfall, which acts like a cap on top of the layered mixture and keeps out oxygen from the air. The fresh water
covers a denser layer of salt water. Underneath ____ is a layer of poisonous hydrogen sulfide (有毒的硫化氢),
produced by bacteria living in the water. At the bottom is anoxic seawater—water that does not have any oxygen.

“Underwater caves are probably one of the least understood ecosystems on the planet,”
Kenny Broad, a scientist at the University of Miami in Florida, says. “One reason is that you 、still physically have to go there—you can’t send in a submarine (潜水艇) or any other machine.”
There are many safety rules that divers must follow to help ensure their survival. First,
divers must have training to swim in such caves. Those who explore an underwater cave for the
first time must use a thin rope called a guideline, which helps them to safely enter and exit
without getting lost. Besides, divers must bring several light sources and more than one set of
