I was 18 when one morning my father told me I could drive him into a village about 18 miles away, on the condition that I took the car to be repaired at a nearby garage(汽车修理厂). Having just learned to drive and hardly ever having the chance to use the car. I happily accepted. I drove Dad into the village and promised to pick him up at 4 pm, and then drove to a nearby garage. Because I had a few free hours, I decided to catch a couple of movies at a theater near the garage. When the last movie had finished, it was six o’clock. I was two hours late.
I knew Dad would be angry if he found out I’d been watching movies. I decided to tell him that the car needed some repairs and that they had taken longer than expected. I drove up to the place where we had planned to meet and saw Dad waiting patiently. I said sorry and told him that I’d come as quickly as I could, but the car had needed some important repairs.
“I’m disappointed that you feel you have to lie to me, Jason.”
“What do you mean? I’m telling the truth.”
Dad looked at me again. “When you did not show up, I called the garage. They told me that you had not yet picked up the car. So you see, I know there were no problems with the car.” I had to confess to my trip to the movie theater. Dad listened as sadness passed through him.
“I’m angry, not with you but with myself. I have failed because I have brought up a son who cannot even tell the truth to his own father. I’m going to walk home now and consider where I have gone wrong all these years.”
“But Dad, it’s 18 miles to home. It’s dark. You can’t walk home.” My words were useless. Dad began walking along the dusty roads, silently, thoughtfully and painfully. For 18 miles I drove behind him.
This was the saddest experience that I have ever had. It was also the most successful lesson I have never lied to my father after that.

Clothes Donation (捐赠) Box
Have you ever put your old clothes into the donation box in your neighborhood? If not, you can do it right now because the clothes donation is becoming a trend (趋势) in Urumqi.
“From time to time, my mother clears out the clothes which I no longer wear. You know, we teenagers are growing fast. I think it’s a good way to help others.” Lin Tao, a junior student says.
“I often pick out some of my clothes which are out of style after going shopping. Then I’ll put them into the donation box.” Miss Li, a pretty young lady says.
“That seems like a good idea. Some clothes in the box are quite new. People can either wear them or use them to make things such as handbags and pencil cases.” Mrs. Wang, an old woman says, “Sometimes I also look through the box for some nice clothes.”
However, there are some problems along with the popularity of clothes donation. Recently, a UTV reporter from Focus on the City has made a survey. Here are the results:
◆ The box is full of clothes in a short time. There is no more room for people to give away clothes.
◆ Some people sell the clothes in the donation box for making money instead of wearing them.
◆ Some communities set the box in unsuitable places. So there are few clothes in it.
◆ Many clothes are too old and shabby (破烂的).
“What’s worse,” one of the staff in a community added, “We quite often see people throw rubbish into the box when they pass by. We’ve tried to stop them several times but failed. It has been the most serious problem since we set the box.”
In order to make the donation box work in an efficient (有效的) way, our government is taking action. Clothes donation will be better-organized and it’ll be more convenient for people in need to take the clothes away.
16. Miss Li gives away her clothes because ________.
A. her clothes are out of style B. her mother clears out her clothes
C. she is growing too fast D. she wants to make something
17. The reporter from UTV has collected ________.
A. 4 problems B. 5 problems C. 6 problems D. 7 problems
18. All the problems about the donation box are included EXCEPT ________.
A. there’s no more room for people to donate clothes
B. people choose unsuitable places to set the box
C. sometimes the box is broken by someone
D. the clothes in the box are too old and shabby
19. The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 4 means ________.
A. the clothes donation boxes B. the old people
C. handbags and pencil cases D. some clothes in the box
20. We can infer (推断) from the passage that ________.
A. the clothes donation will be better-organized to help donators and people in need
B. the clothes donation becomes less popular than before because of serious problems
C. the clothes donation can prevent some girls from wearing clothes that are out of style
D. the clothes donation gives the traders a good idea to sell old clothes for making money
【答案】16. A 17. B 18. C 19. D 20. A
【解析】
【分析】文章大意:衣物捐赠箱如今变成一种趋势,但是问题也随之产生,针对这些问题,政府正采取措施,使衣物捐赠更加有序,人们使用起来也更加方便。
【16题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“I often pick out some of my clothes which are out of style after going shopping. Then I’ll put them into the donation box.”可知李小姐是因为衣服过时了,所以就捐赠出去。故选A。
【17题详解】
细节理解题。根据文中“The box is full of clothes in a short time. There is no more room for people to give away clothes. Some people sell the clothes in the donation box for making money instead of wearing them. Some communities set the box in unsuitable places. Many clothes are too old and shabby (破烂的). We quite often see people throw rubbish into the box when they pass by.”可知捐赠箱里装满衣服,没有多余的空间;有些人卖掉捐赠箱里的衣服来赚钱;一些社区把捐赠箱放在了不合适的地方;许多衣服太破旧;有人往捐赠箱里扔垃圾,一共是五个问题。故选B。
【18题详解】
细节理解题。根据文中“The box is full of clothes in a short time. There is no more room for people to give away clothes…Some communities set the box in unsuitable places. Many clothes are too old and shabby (破烂的).”可知捐赠箱里装满衣服,没有多余的空间,一些社区把捐赠箱放在了不合适的地方,许多衣服太破旧,这些都是使用捐赠箱出现的问题,文章并未提到“有人损坏捐赠箱”。故选C。
【19题详解】
词义猜测题。结合语境和前一句“Some clothes in the box are quite new.”可知人们可以用捐赠箱里的衣服来制作东西,所以这里“them”指的是捐赠箱里的衣服。故选D。
【20题详解】
判断推理题。根据最后一句“Clothes donation will be better-organized and it’ll be more convenient for people in need to take the clothes away.”可知衣物捐赠将更加有序,有需要的人将更方便地拿走衣物,可推断出衣物捐赠是为了给捐赠者和有需要的人提供便利。故选A。

【21题详解】
句意:这棵树位于四个不同城镇的中心。根据下文“It acted as a connection point of all towns and villages in the nearby area. 它是附近所有城镇和村庄的连接点。”可知这棵树在不同城镇的中心。答案为C。

【答案】例文:
Dear Ben,
I am sorry to hear that you are having trouble getting used to life in middle school. In your letter you said that you always felt lonely because of having few friends. I think it is a good choice to join some clubs in your school. In this way, you can make more friends who share the same interest with you. Besides, you’d better be friendly to others. Smile at others and you are sure to get a smile in return. On the other hand, you found it difficult to remember English words. Reading more English stories and news can help you learn English words in a practical way. In addition, if you can develop a habit of keeping an English diary everyday, it will be easier for you to remember more words. I hope you will find these suggestions useful.
Good luck with everything!

I was 18 when one morning my father told me I could drive him into a village about 18 miles away, on the condition that I took the car to be repaired at a nearby garage(汽车修理厂). Having just learned to drive and hardly ever having the chance to use the car. I happily accepted. I drove Dad into the village and promised to pick him up at 4 pm, and then drove to a nearby garage. Because I had a few free hours, I decided to catch a couple of movies at a theater near the garage. When the last movie had finished, it was six o’clock. I was two hours late.
I knew Dad would be angry if he found out I’d been watching movies. I decided to tell him that the car needed some repairs and that they had taken longer than expected. I drove up to the place where we had planned to meet and saw Dad waiting patiently. I said sorry and told him that I’d come as quickly as I could, but the car had needed some important repairs.
“I’m disappointed that you feel you have to lie to me, Jason.”
“What do you mean? I’m telling the truth.”
Dad looked at me again. “When you did not show up, I called the garage. They told me that you had not yet picked up the car. So you see, I know there were no problems with the car.” I had to confess to my trip to the movie theater. Dad listened as sadness passed through him.
“I’m angry, not with you but with myself. I have failed because I have brought up a son who cannot even tell the truth to his own father. I’m going to walk home now and consider where I have gone wrong all these years.”
“But Dad, it’s 18 miles to home. It’s dark. You can’t walk home.” My words were useless. Dad began walking along the dusty roads, silently, thoughtfully and painfully. For 18 miles I drove behind him.
This was the saddest experience that I have ever had. It was also the most successful lesson I have never lied to my father after that.

Recently, a neighborhood in Halifax Nova Scotia, got together to paint a picture on the road at a crossing and a block party. And even in the few days since it was up, cars were more careful about stopping at this comer.
In the neighborhood, there are a number of accidents. Every year many people get hurt or die when they are crossing the road. Most of these people are old people and children. Old people often get hurt or die because they can’t see or hear very well. Children usually meet with accidents because their carelessness. They forget to look and listen before they cross the road.
Everyone must obey the traffic rules. For the drivers, they shouldn’t drive too fast at the corner. If they drive too fast, it will be very difficult to stop the cars in a very short time. For the people walking in the street, it’s very important to be careful when they are walking on the road. Therefore, when we walk across the road, we must stop and look both ways before crossing the road. Only when we are sure that the road is clear, we can cross it. The right way to cross the road is to walk quickly. It’s not safe to run. If people run across the road, they may fall down.

Clothes Donation (捐赠) Box
Have you ever put your old clothes into the donation box in your neighborhood? If not, you can do it right now because the clothes donation is becoming a trend (趋势) in Urumqi.
“From time to time, my mother clears out the clothes which I no longer wear. You know, we teenagers are growing fast. I think it’s a good way to help others.” Lin Tao, a junior student says.
“I often pick out some of my clothes which are out of style after going shopping. Then I’ll put them into the donation box.” Miss Li, a pretty young lady says.
“That seems like a good idea. Some clothes in the box are quite new. People can either wear them or use them to make things such as handbags and pencil cases.” Mrs. Wang, an old woman says, “Sometimes I also look through the box for some nice clothes.”
However, there are some problems along with the popularity of clothes donation. Recently, a UTV reporter from Focus on the City has made a survey. Here are the results:
◆ The box is full of clothes in a short time. There is no more room for people to give away clothes.
◆ Some people sell the clothes in the donation box for making money instead of wearing them.
◆ Some communities set the box in unsuitable places. So there are few clothes in it.
◆ Many clothes are too old and shabby (破烂的).
“What’s worse,” one of the staff in a community added, “We quite often see people throw rubbish into the box when they pass by. We’ve tried to stop them several times but failed. It has been the most serious problem since we set the box.”
In order to make the donation box work in an efficient (有效的) way, our government is taking action. Clothes donation will be better-organized and it’ll be more convenient for people in need to take the clothes away.
16. Miss Li gives away her clothes because ________.
A. her clothes are out of style B. her mother clears out her clothes
C. she is growing too fast D. she wants to make something
17. The reporter from UTV has collected ________.
A. 4 problems B. 5 problems C. 6 problems D. 7 problems
18. All the problems about the donation box are included EXCEPT ________.
A. there’s no more room for people to donate clothes
B. people choose unsuitable places to set the box
C. sometimes the box is broken by someone
D. the clothes in the box are too old and shabby
19. The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 4 means ________.
A. the clothes donation boxes B. the old people
C. handbags and pencil cases D. some clothes in the box
20. We can infer (推断) from the passage that ________.
A. the clothes donation will be better-organized to help donators and people in need
B. the clothes donation becomes less popular than before because of serious problems
C. the clothes donation can prevent some girls from wearing clothes that are out of style
