(2025·河北名校联考)Many biologists are drawn to ocean animals like sea turtles and whales.For me, the pale, blind creatures in the world's darkest caves are more attractive.As an underwater cave ecologist, I find and name new species.I have described eight new species of sponges (海绵物种) so far, seven of which live only in caves.Sometimes I count the population of organisms to see how their numbers change over time.I also study how different species interact with one another and their environment.
When I start diving with my team members, there's natural light around us, but as we dive farther, it turns dark, and we switch on our lights and follow the cave line—a thin thread explorers leave behind for divers to find their way in and out of the cave.While some caves are just a few meters long, some stretch over 300 kilometers and could be deeper than 50 meters.Diving at this depth, you might fall in narcosis,a state where the brain feels like it's on a high, similar to being drunk.We might run into trouble an hour or so away from the cave entrance.
But the mysterious (神秘的) world we see inside is worth the risk.I remember diving into El Aerolito Cave on Cozumel Island in Mexico, where I recorded 101 species.My most exciting encounter to date has been with remipedes—poisonous wormlike creatures found only in underwater caves.It took me around 200 dives before I came face to face with about 15 of them hidden deep in the caves of Cozumel.
These delicate ecosystems are rapidly changing due to water pollution, climate change, and construction activities.We might lose the many life forms in these deep, dark worlds before we can even begin to understand them.I'm determined to explore all I can while they still exist.I'm taking advanced diving lessons and learning new laboratory techniques so that I can go even deeper into understanding this environment.

(2025·湖南联考)Antarctica, the southernmost continent on Earth and a frozen continent, remains an mysterious and original land, buried in ice and surrounded by a vast, inhospitable ocean, which often shrouded (隐藏) in mystery and intrigue.It holds a wealth of scientific wonders waiting to be explored.With the aid of cuttingedge technology, researchers have delved into its icy depths, uncovering the secrets of this remote and pristine (原始的) wilderness.
At the forefront of Antarctic exploration are advanced satellite imaging systems.These orbiting wonders provide detailed maps of the continent's surface, allowing scientists to monitor changes in ice coverage and track the movements of glaciers with unprecedented accuracy.Such data is crucial for understanding the impacts of climate change on Antarctica's delicate ecosystem and predicting future sealevel rise.
In addition to satellites, autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) play a key role in Antarctic research.These robotic submarines are equipped with an array of sensors and cameras, enabling them to navigate beneath the ice shelves and explore previously inaccessible regions.By collecting data on water temperature, salinity, and marine life, AUVs offer invaluable insights into the dynamics of Antarctic Ocean currents and the habitats of its unique marine species.
Furthermore, drones have revolutionized scientific fieldwork in Antarctica.These unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are utilized for conducting aerial surveys of vast ice sheets and capturing highresolution imagery of remote locations.By providing researchers with realtime data and imagery, drones facilitate rapid assessments of environmental changes and aid in the study of wildlife populations, from penguins to seals.
Despite the remarkable advancements in technology, conducting research in Antarctica remains a huge challenge due to its extreme weather conditions and remote location.However, through cooperative efforts and innovative approaches, scientists continue to push the boundaries of exploration, uncovering the mysteries of Antarctica and advancing our understanding of the Earth's climate system.
5.What technology is primarily used for monitoring changes in ice coverage in Antarctica?
A.Drones.
