The Maya also kept three different calendars. The first divided the year into 18 months of 20 days each, plus a short month of 5 days. The short month was believed to be unlucky, a time when spirits walked.

The second calendar repeated every 260 days. This was used to plan celebrations and predict future. This calendar counted 13 months of 20 days each. Each date had its own set of 3 symbols (day, month, and year).

When talking about events long ago, they used a calendar called the “long count.** This covered about 5,125 years. Year 1 on this calendar was 3114 BCE on our calendar.

Each city and village had a calendar keeper, who was in charge of saying when to celebrate holidays and when to expect rain or plant crops. But farmers could probably also tell the time of the year from the sun and stars.

21.How many pumpkins did the Maya village harvest according to Figure3?

22.What could the “long count** calendar be usedfor?

A.Marking the unluckydays.

When Mia Woods retired at 61, she knew she needed a plan. was worried about losing my identity as a professional. What else can I be?” she thought.

The year before, she had been told she had a mild memory problem. UI was trying to show myself that I could still think and be creative/1 she says. So she decided to do — rather than be 一something new: bake a pie every day for a year and give each pie away.uIt made me reach out every day to somebody, so I wouldn’t be alone. And it gave me a routine/* she says.

For more than 30 years, Mia had worked as a city planner.urm a planner by nature, trainingand profession. What I really liked about it was that planning takes time, chaos, many different components, puts them all together and makes them into something manageable.” She sees the samein baking pies: “You take a bunch of ingredients and create something out ofthem.”

Twelve years on, Mia has continued to invent new projects, including writing a letter a day, andpainting pictures of her local sky. She is writing a book about the pie experience. But she has learned more than baking. 4tWhat really came out of it was the understanding that I was someone who coulddo new things,” she reflects. 4<And my professional identity wasn’t critical to who I am.”

“Even now, after I have an encounter with somebody, I think: ‘There’s a person I wishI could give a pie to.’” saysMia.

People might not realizethat one basic life necessity has slipped from their control: meals. Withthe rise of online platforms,peopleenjoythefreedomtogetanythingquicklyandatareasonableprice. However, food writer Chen Yuhui argues in her book Who DecidesWhattoEatthatthisconvenience has robbedpeopleoftheirautonomyoverfood,reflectingagreaterlossofcommunitylife in a result-driven society that prioritizesefficiency.

“Manypeopledon’trealizehowoftentheirdiningchoicesarcmadeforthem,”Chensays.For instance, a boss’s request for overtime changes their dinner plans; or a restaurantdiscountofferinfluences where they eat. These, she explains, are passivechoices.

Chen citesanothercommoncomplaint:tomatoesthattasteplaincomparedtochildhoodmemories. This reveals adeeperloss—commerciallydominant,hard-skinnedvarietiesare“morefitting for long-distance transportation,Msacrificingflavorandthecommunitylifeoncebuiltaroundfresh markets.

Chen furthernotesthatonlinefoodimagesare“zombie-like”—theyshowlifelessfood,unlikethe fresh produce in markets,andthislimitspeople’simaginationaboutfood.However,whensheshares tips on selecting fresh produce in markets, she often gets requests for shopping linksinstead.

Chen connects these attitudes to abroadermindset:“Buyinggroceriesandcookinginvolveacertainlevelofacceptanceofmistakes…Yetmanytodayseemtohavelittlepatiencewiththem.”The focus on results makes delivery appealing, as people believe it guarantees a betteroutcome.

Beyond die loss of autonomy, Chen sees something deeper in food — it’s a microcosm for under­ standing the world.uIfyoulovetomatoesbutfindthemplain,doyoucomplainorinvestefforttofindflavorfulones?Searchingfortherightvarietyshowsdifferentproblem-solvingabilities,whichis what I mean by food being the smallest unit for understanding the world,n sheconcludes.

Chinese scientists have developed a new refrigeration method that solves a long-standingchallenge in cooling technology. Published in Nature, the study responds to rising energy demands in applications ranging from food preservation to data centercooling.

Traditional vapor-compression systems consume vast amounts of electricity and rely on

harmful refrigerants. In China, refrigeration accountsfornearly 20% of thenation’selectricityuseand 7.8% of its carbon emissions （碳排放）.While solid-state cooling avoids harmfulgases, it suffersfrom poor heat transfer, limiting its real-worldapplication.

Led by Professor Li Bing from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the research team overcamethis by combining solid cooling effects with liquid flow. They used a common, non-toxic salt whose dissolution （溶解）in water absorbs large amounts of heat. Conversely, applying pressure causes the salt to come out and release heat. Cycling this pressure achieves continuouscooling.

“Unlike traditional solid methods, where heat movesslowly,oursystemintegratesthe refrigerant and heat-transfer medium into a single liquid,“ Li said. “Thissolvesthe‘impossibletriangle’ — achieving low pollution, strong cooling, and fast heat transfer all at once.”

Lab tests showed a temperature drop of nearly 30℃ in just 20 seconds at room temperature,and up to 54℃ at higher temperatures —significantly outperforming existing solid coolers. A proto­ type cycle achieved a cooling capacity of 67 joules per gram with nearly 77% efficiency. The system also proved stable, reversible, and instantly responsive to pressurechanges.

uThis technology movesbeyondtraditionalrefrigerationprinciples/*Liadded.uByturningthe coolant into a fluid, it opens the door to high-performance, zero-emission cooling for homes and industry.”

He noted the method’s strong high-temperature performancemakesitanidealcandidateforheat management in next-generation AI computing facilities. While engineering challenges remain, especially in achieving rapidly switchable pressure cycles, the principle could be adapted to other materials for diverse coolingneeds.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Last summer, we moved into a beautifulhousewheresunlightfloodedthekitcheneverymorning. The only downside was the backyard: behind tall, messy bushes lay anoldpond,dryand smelly. “Let’s bring it back to life!” I suggested. My parents smiled andagreed.

It became our family’s summer project. We cleaned outthe mud and lined the edge with prettystones. At the garden shop, I chose cattails and water lilies. t€They float like little umbrellas,”Mum said. “Yes,” I replied proudly, <4and they keep the water cool and clean.”Then came the best part: two tiny goldfish —– Spotty andSparkly.

I also asked about a pond heater.Td readthatif the pond froze solid in winter, the fish would run out of oxygen. They needed a small hole in the ice to breathe, which a heater could keep open. But they were sold out. As we left, I noticed a poster listing clever ideas to prevent ice from sealing （封住）the pond – fbr example, keeping the water moving, sinceflowingwaterdoesn’tfreezeeasily.Ithought we*d get a heater long before winter, so I didn’t think much ofthem.

Soon, baby fish appeared! Frogs and butterflies often visited too. Our pond felt like a living ecosystem.

Then one evening, the weather report warned of an early freeze — colder and sooner than usual.My stomach dropped. We still didn*t have a heatcrl Dad immediately ordered one online. “It’ll arrive before the icc forms” hepromised.

英语试卷B第9页（共10页）

Early the next morning, I woke to a world covered in white. I threw on my coat and ran to the pond. It was frozen with clear ice — no open watcrl Yet I could still see the fish moving slowly beneath.

I rushed back inside. Dad had already called the delivery company, but they said it wouldn’t arrive today because of die icy roads. “The fish can only last half a day without fresh air!n” I cried.

“Let’s think of something now,” Mum said.
