第二部分 阅读理解（共25小题；每小题2分，满分50分）

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

The coat my son John and I spotted in a store was different from the others. It was thick soft and well preserved, with a black velvet collar, beautiful tailoring, and a Fifth Avenue label at an unbelievable price: MYM28 （171 yuan）.

I looked at my son and we both said nothing, but John's eyes gleamed（隐约闪光）. Dark, woolen topcoats were popular with teenage boys, but they could cost several hundred dollars. This coat was even better. John tried it on and turned from side to side, eyeing himself in the mirror. The fit was perfect.

He wore the coat to school the next day and came home with a grin. “Did the kids like your coat?”I asked. “They loved it,” he said.

Over the next few weeks, John changed. He was polite, less argumentative, more thoughtful, and overall much happier. “Good dinner, Mom,” he would say every evening. Without a word of objection（反对） he would carry in wood for the stove. One day when I suggested that he might start on his homework before dinner, John, who always put things off, said: “You're right. I guess I will.” When I mentioned this to one of his teachers, she joked that the coat must have changed him.

John and I both know that clothes do not define a person, but there is something to be said for looking good. Sometimes, watching John leave for school, I've remembered what it felt like to be in the eighth grade — a time when it is as easy to try on different approaches to life as it is to try on a coat. The whole future is stretched out ahead, where all the doors are open. And if I were there right now, I would picture myself walking through those doors wearing my wonderful, magical coat.

41. What can be the best title of the text?

A. A magical coat B. A promising boy

C. A shopping experience D. A bright future

42. From Paragraph 2 we can know that John _______.

A. refused to try on the coat B. liked the coat very much

C. intended to leave the store D. enjoyed shopping with Mom

43. What does the underlined word “grin” in Paragraph 3 mean?

A. A joking tone. B. A worried look.

C. A low spirit. D. A big smile.

44. After John wore the new coat, he _______.

A. began to start homework after dinner

B. was willing to follow others' advice

C. tended to argue with his mother

D. failed to help do any housework

45. What message does the author intend to deliver in the text?

A. We should not judge people by their appearance.

B. Life is full of possibilities when we are young.

C. What we wear can help shape what we are inside.

D. It's beneficial to try different things in our lives.

If you're ever in central London between Covent Garden and Holborn, look up. You might spot three letters somewhere between the Starbucks angels and the pub signs: “LSE”. They may not look much. But these three letters welcome you to one of the world's leading universities for social and political sciences.

The London School of Economics and Political Science （LSE） offers more than just economics. You can study all sorts of things, from history to mathematics to psychology. The university was founded in 1895. It has always set very high standards for its students. Today, it accepts fewer students every year than any other British university. It's not surprising that 17 Nobel Prize winners and 34 world leaders went to LSE' including John F. Kennedy.

Those who do get a place can enjoy teaching from LSE's top-class staff. Students have the chance to learn in the university's great facilities（设施）. The LSE has the world's largest social and political sciences library, its own theater, and many other lecture theaters. These host lectures and debates for both students and the public.

Some of the most important people in the world come to speak. Recent speakers have included former UN Secretary—General Kofi Annan, former US President Bill Clinton, and even ' controversially' Colonel Gaddafi. In 2008, the LSE started “LSE Live”, a series of live online lectures.

There's still time for fun at LSE. Students can join up with the LSE student union to take part in sports, arts and drama clubs. The
