The state would move to recognize June 19, or Juneteenth, as a paid state holiday. The next day, New York governor Andrew Cuomo tweeted that he' d do the same in his state. This makes Virginia and New York the latest states to officially honor Juneteenth. Now, at least 45 out of 50 states, plus Washington, D. C. ， recognize Juneteenth. “We became independent in 1776. Every year as a nation, we mark the Fourth of July Independence Day," Northam said during a press conference. “But that freedom we celebrate did not include everyone. Learning more about the holiday means going back in history to the Civil War. On January 1, 1863, President Abraham Lincoln delivered the Emancipation Proclamation ( 解放黑人奴隶宣 言). His speech declared freedom for enslaved people. The Civil War ended more than two years later，in April 1865. The Union won. But there were many enslaved people who had not been told of this. On June 19, Union soldiers told crowds in Galveston, Texas, that the state' s 250 ,000 enslaved people were free. They were among the last to find out. The day became known as Juneteenth, which refers to June and 19th and is sometimes called Emancipation Day. Over the years, as black people from Galveston moved to different cities, the celebration spread slowly. And in the 1960s, the civil rights movement brought a really wider awareness of Juneteenth because it broke out all over the country. It's believed that such a holiday helps educate people about what happened in the past. Sheila Jackson Lee represents Texas in the US House of Representatives. Earlier this week, she introduced a bill to Congress, which asks for national recognition of the holiday. Juneteenth has been celebrated in a variety of ways people can choose from. Usually， there are community gatherings, cookouts, and festivals. 24. What did Northam mean by saying the underlined part in Paragraph 1? A. Not every American state accepted Juneteenth. B. Americans should show respect for each other. C. Black people should unite to get more freedom. D. Slavery still existed after the fourth of July in 1776. 25. Which of the following is home to Juneteenth celebrations? A. Washington, D. C. B. Texas. C. Virginia. D. New York. 26. What made Juneteenth spread across the country? A. President Lincoln’s proclamation. B. Black people’s living in big cities. C. American civil rights movement. D. Freedom Day' s being recognized. 27. What is the real function of Juneteenth in Sheila' s opinion? A. To remember the history. B. To set a paid state holiday. C. To have richer celebrations. D. To give people more choices. C A team of biologists recently studied rain-frogs in the forests of northern Ecuador. While doing so, they discovered a Mindo harlequin toad (五彩蟾蜍). The creature hadn't been seen alive in 30 years. The scientists couldn't believe their eyes.“The three of us spotted it,” Melissa Costales, a conservation biologist, said. Her partners were scientist Cesar Barrio-Amoros and guide Eric Oster-man.“ It took our brains a while longer than normal to recognize that we were watching an Atelopus mindoensis !”Their findings were published in the spring, in the journal Herpetology Notes. Until recently, 13 of the 25 species of harlequin toads in Ecuador had gone unseen since the 1980s or early 1990s. Climate crisis is damaging their living conditions, and they can't find food that is suitable for them. Besides, people hunt for them to make money. However， scientists hold that most of them had been wiped out by a terrible disease called chytrid, which is especially harmful to the harlequin toad. The Mindo harlequin is the latest harlequin toad species “to come back from the dead,” says Costales. Since 2003, eight other species have been found, three of them in Ecuador. Costales says the Mindo harlequin may have developed a resistance to the disease. That would explain the toad’s reappearance. And it could spell good news for other harlequins. Since discovering the first one, Cos-tales' s team has found five more. They were all tested for chytrid. None had the disease. But that doesn’t mean the survival of the species is guaranteed， Costales says. The harlequin toad is still endangered. Costales is developing a conservation plan with a zoology museum in Ecuador. She wants to make sure the Mindo harlequin toad doesn’t fall back into dying out.“Each rediscovery gives us a second chance to develop better conservation strategies (策略) ,”she says.“Not every day do we have the opportunity to rediscover a species that we believed to be extinct. 28. How did Costales feel about the discovery of the Mindo harlequin toad? A. It' s unexpected. B. It's unattractive. C. It's abnormal. D. It's doubtful. 29. What is the key reason for harlequin toads' being killed? A. Climate change. B. Lack of food. C. A dangerous illness. D. Humans' behavior. 30. How many Mindo harlequin toads have the scientists found out? A.3. B.6. C.9. D.12. 31. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. A resistance to chytrid B. Harlequin toad species C. Animal experts’ hard job D. An animal’s rediscovery D With solar energy getting cheaper and cheaper, it is expected to become the most common way to produce electricity by 2050. But there is another way to create electricity from the sun. It's called “Concentrated Solar Power ( CSP)” 。 It works by using many special mirrors , called “heliostats” ，to focus the sun's light to produce heat “Solar Thermal". CSP factories focus the light from their mirrors onto specially designed towers that can take the heat and then， usually by turning water into steam, turn it into electricity. The biggest CSP plant in the world is Ivanpah in the Mojave Desert in California. Spain has several other large CSP factories. The highest temperature reached using concentrated solar power is 565°C. That' s hot enough to make electricity. But to make many common materials, much higher temperatures are needed. An American company called Heliogen has announced a new process that can reach extremely high temperatures using only the power of the sun，which could help clean up some of the world ' s most polluting processes, like making cement ( 水泥) that is currently responsible for around 7% of the world' s carbon dioxide pollution. Heliogen says its process has reached temperatures higher than 1 ,000°C for many times. At those temperatures, Heliogen ’s system could be used in the making of cement. The company has been able to improve its process by doing a few things differently. For one . thing, the heliostats it uses are smaller, so they' re cheaper and it’s easier to make them reflect better. Another big improvement is the special computer system that Heliogen developed to watch and adjust the heliostats so that they are always focused continuously. Heliogen says confidently that in the future it hopes to reach temperatures as hot as 1 ,500°C. At that temperature, it is even possible to create fuel ， not causing pollution. Though Heliogen’s process is new and offers several improvements over existing CSP methods, the company is still a long way from putting their system to work in the real world. 32. What do the towers in CSP plants do first? A. Reflect the mirrors ’light. B. Hold the heliostats. C. Produce solar energy. D. Contain “Solar Thermal". 33. What is special about the Heliogen’s new process? A. It can slow down climate change. B. It gets extremely hot by itself. C. It's more environment-friendly. D. It can produce solar energy. 34. What can Heliogen’s special computer system do? A. Lower the cost of the heliostats. B. Make the heliostats work better. C. Force the heliostats to take breaks. D. Stop the heliostats being damaged. 35. What is the author' s attitude towards the Heliogen ’s new process? A. Curious. B. Cautious. C. Confident. D. Contradictory. 第二节(共 5 小题;每小题 2 分,满分 10 分) 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余 选项。 If ever we have to wait for something in the UK 一 for the bus, to get into a concert, or to get into a shop, we form a queue. Everybody knows that when you roll up, you join the back of the queue. 36 It is an absolutely fair system and we all agree with it. British people would never dream of “jumping the queue”! 37 If you are seen to push in, it is considered very rude. People think pushing in is unfair to other people who have been waiting. So, if you see a line of people and you are not sure about it, then ask: “Is this the back of the queue?”_ 38 You might even get chatting! Brits are happy to chat while queuing. If ever somebody pushes in, you can almost feel others upset about him or her! People will be silently angry! However, rarely will anybody say anything._ 39_ If somebody does say something to the rule breaker， the rest of the people in the queue will be very embarrassed and they will look away. 40 For example, they may give bad looks to the transgressor ( 违规者). They may also turn around and talk about the transgressor in a whisper with the person next to them in the queue. You would need a skin as thick as a rhinoceros ( 犀 牛 皮 ) to miss these signals that you have transgressed a sacred British rule. So, if you come to the UK, get used to queuing. A. You have to wait for your turn in the queue. B. People do not welcome queue-jumping in England. C. Queue-jumping can be seen everywhere in the world. D. British people do not like to cause a scene by arguing. E. Some people want to break the accepted rule sometimes. F. People will be very polite to you and let you know where you should stand. G. People will show that they are annoyed, but in ways that are not easy to notice. 第三部分语言知识运用(共两节 ,满分 45 分) 第一节(共 20 小题;每小题 1.5 分,满分 30 分) 阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的 A.B .C 和 D 四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳 选项。 Ivan Fernandez Anaya is a long- distance runner from Spain who competes in cross-country and marathon races.
