3 . Blue Grotto, Italy

Despite its name, it is actually not a grotto(洞穴)but a sea cave, about 60m long. What makes it one of the most beautiful caves in the world is the blue color, as its name suggests. When you enter inside, you can see it is filled with weird blue light. This color is formed by the unique combination of the rocks, the entrance, the clear water and the whole shape. In fact, you can’t identify where the source of the blue light is.

Son Doong Cave, Vietnam

This is known as the largest cave in the world, not because of its length—in fact, it is just about 5km long. But its size comes from its enormous passages and caves, reaching 200m in height. In addition, there is an underground river, making the cave even more impressive.

Marble Caves, Chile

Located far from any road, the caves are accessible only by boat. This is the most beautiful cave structure in the world, in which crystal clear water is literally lightened by dazzling(使目眩)blue ice walls. A magical, fabulous, unreal and almost unearthly sight! The caves are best seen from September to February and earlier in the morning when the sunlight streams inside.

Reed Flute Cave, China

Its name comes from the reeds beside its entrance that have been used for making flutes(长笛). It is not too long and not too deep-only about 500m in length. What makes this cave more special is the history. It has been known since ancient times. And when you enter inside, you can see a lot of inscriptions(碑文)dating back to medieval times, starting from the times of the Tang Dynasty (around 792 AD).

5 . Daniel Brush, an astonishing worker in gold, jewels and steel died on November 2022, aged 75. Students from a jewellery school once came to Brush’s studio, a loft in mid-Manhattan, awed to be meeting a figure who, to them, was a worker of miracles.

For 45 years in that loft, he had pursued his calling. His wife Olivia was the only company. He produced hundreds of objects of all sorts, most of them exquisite and many astonishingly small. Rather than use electricity, he laboured alone in a forest of antique machines and when tools frustrated him he made his own, displaying them in cupboards as art in themselves.

Above all else, he worked in gold. His obsession took fire when at 13 he saw an Etruscan gold bowl in the Victoria and Albert Museum. The ancient technique of applying gold beads as fine as sand-grains to a curved gold surface without solder (焊接), was stunning, but so was the lightness of spirit.

He resolved then that he would make such a bowl, and gold became the study of his life. Simply to watch it melt, turn to red-hot and white-hot, then glow purple, was magical. To hold pure gold grain and let it move slowly through his fingers restored his calm of spirit. His chief motivation, he said, was to understand the material and, through that, himself. He wondered why his heart had beaten so fast in the museum that day. Gold in particular had a message for him. His contact with this glorious metal might focus all his attention and help him to hear it.

He developed delicate craftsmanship, with each object virtually a museum piece. For Daniel Brush, he loved the idea that one might take a piece made by Brush out of a pocket, let its beauty pass from mind to mind, and smile. That too was what its maker was after.

C．He tended to use ancient crafts to produce objects.

D．Most objects he produced were of a surprisingly small size.

2. What is the main reason for his lifelong study of gold?

C．His calm was restored when gold grain moved through fingers.

D．Gold had a particular message for him and he was eager to hear it.

3. Which of the following can best describe Daniel Brush?

9 . 阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。

    1    (volunteer) is very important. The benefits of volunteering extend(延伸) far beyond the reach of the community and the individual     2    is being directly helped. There are many studies     3    (indicate) that volunteering is     4    (physical) and mentally beneficial to volunteers’ well-being. The    5    (benefit) are significant even if you have just started to explore the world of volunteering.

Choose     6    agency (like the Aging & Disability Resource Center of Central Wisconsin) that is in line with     7    (you) interests. Call them and explain what you     8    (look) for now, including your interests, skills and time. After thinking about what you can do, give some thought to how much. Do you want a brief, weekend long project? Do you want to give two hours a week or even an hour or two every day? You also need to give some thought to why you want to volunteer. Most people want to help someone, but since there are great rewards     9    volunteering, you need to really think about the why.

Volunteering can be extremely     10    (reward). Everyone has a different reward and reason to continue.
