The phone vibrated（震动）and Amy’s name appeared on the screen．“They found something，”she said，and then，trying to put me at ease，“Don’t worry．They’ll go in and remove it． It’ll be alright．”Eighteen months later，the cancer ended her life．Amy’s disease and death were astonishing for us all．
In spite of pain and fear，Amy's humor and compassion（同情）remained． In the middle of a life interrupted，Amy continued to display a concern for others．She once said，before sitting down to a lovely meal on a small island in Maine，as family and friends gathered to celebrate her forty-sixth birthday，“Wouldn’t it be nice if everyone with cancer could have a special day like this？”I’m certain that every one of us wondered whether this would be her last birthday．And yet，in that moment，Amy was not thinking of herself but of others who have a cancer．
With her passing away，Amy’s family and friends contributed thoughts and ideas so that we could create a foundation that was most like the individual we hoped to honor．We wanted to fulfill her wish that“everyone with cancer could have a special day”．
Less than six months after Amy passed away，our foundation“Amy’s Treat”was registered． Since its beginning，Amy’s Treat has helped thousands of people whose lives have been changed by cancer for free．It has given out over a million dollars' worth of direct aid，services and access to a “special day”．
Volunteering for Amy’s Treat has restored in me a once shaking faith in the thoughtfulness of humankind．We wouldn’t be successful without the generous kindness of so many people who will never meet the person or families that their checks and donations will benefit．
“Wouldn’t it be nice if everyone with cancer could have a special day like this？”Amy once said．Because she lived and because she died，many have．I think she'd be pleased with how it all turned out．
24．What words can best describe Amy according to the author？
A．Kind and respectable． B．Smart and brave．
C．Able and confident． D．Lovely and hardworking．
25．What can we know about Amy's Treat？
A．It is a cancer research center． B．It is a non-profit organization．
C．It is set up by Amy． D．It is aimed at the poor．
26．What plays an important role in Amy's Treat's success according to paragraph 5？
A．The staff’s hard work． B．The support from Amy．
C．So many people's generosity． D．The ideas of Amy's friends．
27．What should we do according to the text？
A．Never get tired of doing kind things for others．
B．Try our best to be resistant to deadly diseases．
C．Be socially active to serve those poor patients．
D．Involve ourselves in healthcare-related research．
C
The running buffalo clover（a plant）used to spread across eight states，from Virginia to Arkansas．The more it was walked on by the buffalo（野牛），the better it grew．
When buffalo disappeared，the plant was gone，too．Researchers believed the plant was extinct（灭绝的），which had not been spotted since 1940s—until a population was found in West Virginia in 1983．Now，after decades of protection，the small plant stands to be removed from the list of species protected under the Endangered Species Act．
Biologist Rodney Bartgis came across a patch of running buffalo clover in 1983．He was recording plants in West Virginia and was wandering around a car road in the New River Gorge when he spotted some“unique-looking”leaves，which he recognized as running buffalo clover．After the finding was confirmed，the clover was considered no longer extinct and placed on the endangered-species list in 1987．
Part of the reason it took a while to start to find the clover in the wild is that，unlike other rare plants，this one won’t grow in unspoiled areas．It likes being run over．When the clover was first discovered，US Fish and Wildlife Services（USFWS） forest managers were told to avoid driving in the area populated by the plant．But this made the clover there disappear．In the Fernow Forest in West Virginia，Gundy，a research forester，realized the skidders（集材拖拉机）used to pull trees had helped ensure the clover’s growth before anyone knew it was there．So in her work monitoring the population in Fernow，Gundy runs over the clover with a skidder．“You need to remember to agitate it，”she says．
Since 1987，researchers have found 154 populations．But it's not out of the woods yet．The clover still faces threats from invasive（入侵的）species．The USFWS will have a public comment period，when the clover’s case for delisting（从表上删除）will be reviewed．Even if it is delisted，biologists from the USFWS will observe populations for years closely to ensure that the species is secure．
28．What do we know about the running buffalo clover from the first two paragraphs？
A．It has died out due to some human action．
B．It still needs careful protection from extinction．
C．It was considered extinct before its rediscovery．
D．It can grow better without buffalo stepping on it．
29．What do we know about Rodney Bartgis from the text？
A．He discovered the clover by accident．
B． He noticed the clover in an unspoiled area．
C． He hardly recognized the clover when first seeing it．
D．He had searched for the clover for years before finding it．
30．How should we deal with the buffalo clover according to what Gundy said in paragraph 4？
A．She advised we should keep away from it．
B．She suggested we should disturb it．
C．She told us to remember to water it often．
D．She asked us to plant more and more buffalo clover．
31．What can we infer from the text？
A．The buffalo ate up the clover in the US．
B．The clover is almost free from natural enemies．
C．The USFWS is cautious of the protection of the clover．
D．The clover won't be removed from the protection list．

LONDON—Global auction（拍卖） sales of Chinese art and antiques fell in 2019 to $5.7 billion，a 10 percent drop year-on-year，and the lowest level for the collecting category since 2010．The Global Chinese Art Auction market report，compiled by Artnet and the Chinese Association of Auctioneers，found this was due to trade tensions between the United States and China，as well as a slowdown of GDP in China．
The report，now in its eighth edition，noted that the value of total auction sales within the Chinese mainland declined by 10 percent in 2019 to $ 3.7 billion，the lowest total since 2010．Outside China，there was also a 9 percent drop in sales of Chinese art and antiques．
“The combination of such slowdowns resulted in a weakening of collectors’ confidence and a more cautious attitude among buyers making decisions on investing in art in 2019，”said the report．
However，despite the downturn in total sales value for Chinese art and antiques in 2019，the European market showed some positive trends emerging．Significant peaks in lots offered and lots sold in Europe，combined with a strong sell-through rate（卖出率）of 61 percent in 2019．
Europe accounted for 29 percent of all Chinese art and antique lots sold overseas in 2019，according to the report，closing in on（接近）the North American market's share．
The annual report also found strong performances with 20th century and contemporary Chinese art in both the Chinese mainland and overseas，boosted by a younger generation of Chinese collectors．
The average price for the category increased in the Chinese mainland，up by 23 percent year-on-year，and overseas sales saw a nine-year high in 2019．But fine Chinese paintings and calligraphy，the largest collecting category on the Chinese mainland，did not perform as well．
According to the report this category“continued to spiral（螺旋式的）downwards，reaching its lowest point in sales since 2013”．The number of lots dropped by 10 percent year-on-year，almost half of that of 2013 and it also struggled elsewhere，with the overseas total falling to a seven-year low．
32．What is the third paragraph mainly about？
A． The result of a weakening of collectors’ confidence in buying art．
B． The advantage of buyers’ making decisions on investing in art．
C． The advantage of the decline of the value of total auction sales．
D．The result of the decline of the value of total auction sales．
33．Why does the report say“fine Chinese paintings and calligraphy did not perform as well”on the Chinese mainland？
A．Their standards were not so high．
B．Their prices were not so satisfying．
C．They are the largest collecting category．
D．The average price for the category rose sharply．
34．What does the underlined phrase“accounted for”in paragraph 5 mean？
A．Took up． B．Took off． C．Took away． D．Took on．
35．Which can be the best title for the news report？
A．A Slowdown of GDP in China in 2019
B．A Report on the Global Chinese Art Auction Market
C．Trade Tensions Between the United States and China
D．Global Auction Sales of Chinese Antiques and Art Fall to a 10-year Low
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。
Body language，sometimes called“non-verbal communication”，is an important tool． The way you communicate through body language can determine your success in everything from relationships to your career．Up to 93％ of communication can be non-verbal．Paying closer attention to the messages you send through body language can help you succeed． 36
Have good posture（姿势）．If you go to a job interview and you have bad posture，you’ll probably register more poorly to the interviewer．People will associate bad posture with weak confidence or boredom． 37 To have good posture，your head should be up and your back should be straight，Sit down the front of your chair and lean forward slightly to show you’re interested．
Mirror another person．Mirroring is when one partner copies the posture of the other partner． 38
Specifically，you can mirror a person's tone or position of the body．You shouldn’t do this obviously or repeatedly though，only skillfully．
Emphasize your point with gestures．Have more than one gesture． 39 If you want to ensure you’re not misunderstood，repeat helpful gestures when you speak the idea aloud．You don’t have to use a body language gesture（or two）for every word，but it’s good to have a toolbox of gestures you can use to reinforce（强化）important but easily misunderstood concepts．
40 Watch for wandering eyes and constant sniffing．If you 're constantly touching your face，you'll never look confident or at ease．Improving your posture and working to reduce nervous tics（抽搐）can be difficult and will take time，but you'll quickly improve your overall non-verbal communication．
A．Use hand gestures when speaking．
B．This will help you better get your message across．
C．Avoid gestures that show nervousness or insecurity．
D．Here are some ideas for using gestures to communicate．
E．Keep your legs slightly apart，so you take up more space．
F．They might even think you're lazy and unmotivated if you don’t sit up straight．
G．By copying the actions of the other person，you’ll make him/her feel connected to you．

M：Hello．Welcome to the program．In America，May and June are the traditional months for graduations．A listener in China，Wang Ming，who is about to get an engineering degree，wants to know how American college graduates find jobs．Right now，the answer is：not very easily．A latest study on the college job market showed that employers wanted to hire 22％ fewer graduates this year than last．The study also showed that just 20％ of those who looked for jobs before graduation have found one by now．This is compared to half of students who had looked for a job by this time two years ago．But one difference：fewer of this year’s graduates have started to search for jobs．Engineering graduates were more likely to have started their job search already，and to have accepted a job．This is among the best-paid professions for people with just a college degree．On average，engineering majors expect to start at about $ 62,000 a year．
