第二部分：阅读理解（共25小题，每题2分，满分50分）

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?
