My passion and connection to gardens started at that moment. When spring arrived,I rushed outdoors,throwing myself on a fresh carpet of grass.Excited,I bounced to my feet and flipped somersaults (before landing by my mother,who was busy breaking up the soil in the garden.I then sat beside her,playing with mud pies in the flower bed.When her work was done,she rewarded me with a glass of bittersweet lemonade.During my childhood,it seemed that the flowers from her gardens healed us from head to toe. In our last conversation before her death,mother encouraged me to go anywhere in the world that would make me happy.Since then,I have recreated her gardens through art worldwide,beautifying countless parks and courtyards. Gardening has taught me that planting a garden is the same as creating our lives.Every spring,you break up the soil and start anew.You clear out the dead leaves and roots of the winter.Then you add proper nutrients into the soil and keep the topsoil loose and fresh. You won't get those beautiful blooms in life until you first do the work just right.When our gardens are balanced with care,we can harvest the beauty of living a life of grace. Gardens are full of magical wisdom.A caterpillar's transformation comes with necessary struggle. Without this painful fight to break free from the confines of the cocoon ()the newly formed butterfly can't strengthen its wings.Without such a battle,it can never take flight.The same is true for humans in the garden of hardship. Gardens cast their reflection into our lives.So nurture your talents and strengths,cultivate your garden for giving,and plant those seeds for the future.The garden is the world living deep inside of you. 11.What does paragraph 2 mainly describe? A.My delight in the garden. B.Mother's care for my growth. C.My reflection on the garden. D.Mother's devotion to the garden. 12.How was the author influenced by her mother? A.She planted flowers for public parks globally B.She traveled worldwide to find her mother's gardens. C.She became a professional gardener like her mother. D.She artistically reproduced her mother's gardens. 13.What is the best title for the text? A.The Art of Planting Seeds B.Mother's Gardening Wisdom C.The Passion for Gardening D.Gardens as Mirrors to Life 2 B Typical refrigeration (systems transport heat away from a space via a fluid ()that absorbs heat as it turns into a gas,which is then transported through a closed tube and changed back into a liquid. Effective as this process is,some of the choice materials we use as refrigerants are particularly unfriendly to the environment. There is,however,more than one way a substance can be forced to take in and give out heat energy. The ionocaloric cycle,a method developed by researchers from the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the University of California,Berkeley,takes advantage of the way that energy is stored or released when a material changes state. Raise the temperature on a block of ice and it'll melt.What we might not see so easily is that melting absorbs heat from its surroundings,effectively cooling it.One way to force ice to melt without needing to turn up the heat is to add a few charged particles,or ions ()Putting salt on roads to prevent ice from forming is a common example of this in action.The ionocaloric cycle also uses salt to change a fluid's state and cool its surroundings. The researchers modeled the theory of this cycle to show how it could potentially compete with,or even improve upon,the efficiency of refrigerants in use today.A current running through the system would move the ions in it,shifting the material's melting point to change temperature."There are three things we're trying to balance:the GWP(global warming potential)of the refrigerant,energy efficiency, and the cost of the equipment itself"said engineer Ravi Prasher from the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory."From the first try,our data looks very promising on all three of these aspects."The systems currently used in refrigeration processes rely on gases that have high GWP. Now,the researchers need to get the technology out of the lab and into practical systems that can be used commercially and that scale up without any issues.Eventually,these systems could be used for heating as well as cooling.Ongoing investigations are trying different salts to see which combinations might be most effective at drawing heat from a space. 14.How does the article introduce its topic in paragraph 1? A.By introducing the process of global warming. B.By showing the effectiveness of current process. C.By describing limitation of existing refrigeration. D.By inspiring actions of environmental protection 15.What is mainly talked about in paragraph 3? A.How the ionocaloric cycle functions. B.Why salt can prevent road icing. C.What the chemical composition ofions is. D.What a more effective ice-melting method is. 16.What did Prasher think of the initial test result? A.It remains understudied. B.It proves unpredictable. C.It shows great potential. D.It needs more investment. 3 0 The virtue of intellectual humility (is getting much attention.While researchers define it differently,the core of the idea is "recognizing that one's beliefs and opinions might be incorrect."But achieving intellectual humility is hard.Overconfidence is a long-lasting problem,faced by many,and does not appear to be improved by education or expertise.Even scientific pioneers can sometimes lack this valuable quality. A.A.Michelson,the first American to win a Nobel Prize in science,expressed a striking view about the fundamental laws of physics,"It seems probable that most of the grand basic principles have now been firmly established."Over the next few decades,fundamental physical theory witnessed its most dramatic changes. Scientists can be mistaken about the accuracy of their own positions.Even so,there is reason to believe such mistakes will go public.But sometimes it takes a long time.Is there a way to encourage the pursuit of new,possibly unpopular scientific ideas,while acknowledging the great value and power of the scientific enterprise as it now stands? Here is where intellectual humility can play a positive role in science.Intellectual humility is not skepticism.It does not imply doubt.An intellectually humble person may have strong commitments to various beliefs and may pursue those commitments with enthusiasm.Their intellectual humility lies in their openness to the possibility that nobody is in possession of the full truth,and that others,too,may have insights,ideas and evidence that should be taken into account when forming their own best judgments. This openness to inquiry does not,of course,imply that scientists are bound to accept theories they take to be wrong.What we ought to accept is that we too might be wrong,that something good might come of the pursuit of those other ideas and theories,and that tolerating rather than accusing those who pursue such things just might be the best way forward for science and for society. 17.What is the core idea ofintellectual humility? A.Questioning everything. B.Avoiding firm beliefs. C.Agreeing with all others. D.Accepting one's possible errors. 18.Which of the following words is closest to the underlined word "expertise"in paragraph 1? A.experience.B.speciality. C.authority. D.qualification. 19.What does the example of Michelson suggest about scientists? A.They keep trying different ideas. B.They misjudge their own knowledge. C.They often question the existing ideas.D.They dislike predicting what will happen. 20.What makes intellectual humility positive in science? A.It rejects unpopular research. B.It tends to avoid firm commitments. C.It leads to openness to others'insights.D.It encourages doubts about all old ideas. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 If you think of personal time only as "not working,"you might be missing out on truly eniching experiences.While work requires discipline and training,free time should be easy and natural.We spend years preparing for our careers.21 This belief suggests that while work demands discipline, free time is only for relaxation. 22 According to this famous philosopher,when we understand and practice leisure properly,we can reach our best selves.He believed that leisure is the foundation of culture.To achieve this,we must treat our free time with just as much seriousness as we do our careers.It is not just about "chilling out.”23 When work becomes too hard,we often define leisure as complete inactivity.For instance,a tired businessman might want to sit on a beach and do nothing.24 He believed that leisure is not just a break from work.He said the opposite of true leisure is actually mental laziness.For him,leisure means having an open mind and looking at the world with deep interest and care. True leisure is the work you do for yourself without the economic pressure to earn money.25 Instead,it involves meaningful and deep experiences.These can be enjoying great art,learning new ideas, and staying close to nature. By choosing these meaningful activities,we can use our free time well and become wiser,more effective,and happier individuals. A.Josef Pieper rejected this way of thinking. B.However,Josef Pieper had a very different idea. C.Yet there is no such thing as a"School of Leisure". D.It is about doing nothing and killing time aimlessly. E.Most people hold a wrong understanding of what leisure is. F.Instead,it is a valuable part of life that helps us grow and gain wisdom. G.It does not include mindless activities like scrolling through social media. 第三部分语言运用（共两节；满分37.5分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1.5分，满分22.5分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I grew up in a family where academic success was everything.My parents,both university professors,had my future26 planned:top high school to Ivy League to lawyer.I followed the script perfectly until sophomore year,when a community theater poster27my path.
