1.（2023上·北京·高二北京师大附中校考期末）Open water swimming
I had nly swum in pen water a few times, and always in gentle lakes, s I wasn’t prepared fr hw rugh Lake Windermere appeared n a cld day. A swimmer tld me the water felt clder than it had been measured, and that the water was a bit rugh. But I, alng with 10,000 thers, was abut t cmplete the challenge.
Mst f the peple taking part were ding a ne-mile race, and 10 races were planned ver the weekend. There seemed t be a mix f pen-water enthusiasts alngside cmplete beginners — which is precisely the aim f the swims, t get as many peple as pssible cmpleting their wn challenge. The ldest wman cmpeting was 77, taking part in the tw-mile race, alngside a man wh last year had swum in every ne-mile race.
I had chsen the third ne-mile race f the day. There were ver 600 peple in my race. We were taken thrugh a preparatin area, a children’s paddling pl-sized part f the lake where we mved in t feel hw cld the water was. “Nt t bad” was everyne’s thught! Then we headed ut twards the middle f the lake.
We’d been warned that the first 100 meters wuld be really rugh. Hwever, smewhere near the 750m mark I was still waiting fr the calm; it felt mre like swimming in the sea than a lake. I tried t fcus n my breathing and technique, and just keep ging. As I apprached the 400m-t-g mark my lwer right leg became painful. I recalled verhearing peple talking abut hw they kept swimming thrugh the pain, s I tried. But it didn’t wrk. I began t feel the entire leg tight and painful. I didn’t want t stp, s I bent my right knee and just kicked with the left leg.
Finally, I saw the finishing pst, and I just cncentrated n getting there — still ne-legged. My finishing time was 38 minutes 25 secnds but that didn’t matter — the atmsphere was fantastic and everyne felt a sense f achievement, whatever their time. I’m attracted and want t give it anther g. I’ve already signed up fr my next pen-water swim.

8.（2022上·北京房山·高二统考期末）The air is thin and we have t rest several times n the shrt hike frm camp. T ur left, snw-cvered muntains disappear int cluds that seem almst clse enugh t tuch. On the grassland in frnt f us, we can just make ut a herd f graceful animals. This is why we’re here — t bserve Tibetan antelpes.
Tibetan antelpes live n the plains f Tibet, Xinjiang, and Qinghai. Watching them mve slwly acrss the green grass. I’m struck by their beauty. I’m als reminded f the danger they are in. They are being hunted, illegally, fr their valuable fur.
My guide is Zhaxi, a villager frm Changtang. He wrks at the Changtang Natinal Nature Rcserve. It cvers an arca f abut 120,000 square miles. The reserve is a shelter fr the animals and plants f nrthwestern Tibet. T Zhaxi, prtecting the wildlife is a way f life. “We’re nt trying t save the animals,” he says. “Actually, we’re trying t save urselves.”
The 1980s and 1990s were bad times fr the Tibetan antelpe. The ppulatin drpped by mre than 50 percent. Hunters were shting antelpes t make mney. Their habitats were becming smaller as new rads and railways were built.
In rder t save this species frm extinctin, the Chinese gvernment placed it under natinal prtectin. Zhaxi and ther vlunteers watched ver the antelpes day and night t keep them safe frm attacks. Bridges and gates were added t let the antelpes mve easily and keep them safe frm cars and trains.
The measures were effective. The antelpe ppulatin has recvered and in June 2015, the Tibetan antelpe was remved frm the endangered species list. The gvernment, hwever, des nt intend t stp the prtectin prgrammes, since the threats t the Tibetan antelpe have nt yet disappeared.
In the evening, I drink a cup f tea and watch the stars. I think abut the antelpes and what Zhaxi tld me. Much is being dne t prtect wildlife, but if we really want t save the planet, we must change ur way f life. Only when we learn t exist in harmny with nature can we stp being a threat t wildlife and t ur planet.
