第一节: 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
It was in October. I was aimlessly wandering down the street, heading into a most gloriously beautiful sunset. I had an urge to speak to someone on the street to share that beauty, but it seemed everyone was in a hurry.
I took the next-best action. Quickly I ducked into a department store and asked the lady behind the counter if she could come outside for just a minute. She looked at me as though I were from some other planet. She hesitated, and then seemingly against her better judgment, she moved toward the door.
When she got outside I said to her, “Just look at that sunset! Nobody out here was looking at it and I just had to share it with someone.”
For a few seconds we just looked. Then I said, “God is in his heaven and all is right with the world.” I thanked her for coming out to see it; she went back inside and I left. It felt good to share the beauty.
Four years later my situation changed greatly. I came to the end of a twenty-year marriage. I was alone and on my own for the first time in my life. I lived in a trailer park which, at the time, I considered a real come-down, and I had to do my wash in the community laundry room.
One day, while my clothes were going around, I picked up a magazine and read an article about a woman who had been in similar circumstances. She had come to the end of a marriage, moved to a strange community, and the only job she could find was one she disliked: clothing sales in a department store.
Then something that happened to her changed everything. She said a woman came into her department store and asked her to step outside to look at a sunset. The stranger had said, “God is in his heaven and all is right with the world,” and she had realized the truth in that statement. From that moment on, she turned her life around.
41. The author asked the woman to go outside to ______. A. admire the sunset B. cheer her up C. offer some help D. have a chat 42. Four years later, the author ______. A. found her dream job B. put an end to her marriage
C. worked in a laundry room D. lived in the same community 43. After reading the article in the magazine, the author was probably ______. A. disappointed B. puzzled C. inspired D. overjoyed 44. Which of the following shows the right order of what happened? a. I shared a few words and beautiful sunset with the woman. b. The woman I met years ago got into frustration after divorce. c. I got divorced and felt lost in my life.
d. I came across a beautiful sunset but had no one to share with. e. The woman felt astonished by the invitation from a stranger. f. I recognized the woman I met before in the magazine. A. b, d, e, f, a, c B. d, e, a, c, f, b C. d, e, a, f, b, c D. b, d, e, a, c, f 45. What can be the best title for the passage? A. Sharing Beauty B. Never give up C. Beauty of Life D. An Unforgettable experience

Detective Keeling took his client—a good-looking lady into the back yard of the store together. The
lady opened a door in the wall and they entered the small room behind the store. They crossed the room to a locked door.
Mr. Keeling took some special keys from his pocket. Moments later, one of the keys unlocked the door. The lady went into the store. She said she would hide under the table to keep watch on her husband. Mr. Keeling did not follow her.
The detective went quickly to the policeman’s house. Then the two men hurried to the jewellery store. They looked through the window. The policeman was surprised. He spoke to Mr. Keeling, “I don’t understand. You told me, ‘Robbins took a young woman to a restaurant.’ Where is she?”
“There she is!” said Mr. Keeling. He pointed through the window. “Do you know the lady with Robbins?” asked the policeman. “That’s his secret friend,” said Mr. Keeling.
“No! You’re wrong! That’s Robbins’ wife,” said the policeman. “I’ve known her for fifteen years.” “What?” the detective shouted. His face became pale. “Who is under the table in the store?” He started to kick the door of the jewellery store. Mr. Robbins came to the door and opened it. The policeman and the detective ran into the store.
“Look under that table!” shouted the detective. “Be quick!”
The policeman lifted the cloth and put his arm under the table. He pulled out a black dress, a black veil and a woman’s wig(假发).
“Is this young lady your wife?” Mr. Keeling asked the jeweller. He pointed at the woman.
