Ⅰ.阅读理解

A

It was early winter several years ago.I had pulled out my old winter coat for another year's use.It was still in pretty good shape although it was looking dirty from so many winters' wear.I didn't really need a new one but I wanted one and casually mentioned it to my daughter one day.She was such a sweet, loving girl that I should have guessed what would happen next.A few weeks later she gave me a new winter coat as a gift.

I put the old one in my closet and started to wear the new coat every day.Each day, though, when I opened my closet, something troubled me.It seemed a shame that my old but still good coat should just sit there keeping no one warm during the cold winter days.After a few weeks, I took it out and drove to a local charity shop.I knew that there was someone who couldn't afford a coat but could get my old one.

My new coat is my old coat now.It is getting a little dirty and worn, too.It has black marks on the sleeves.It is in too bad shape to even donate to charity.I wonder if I should buy a new one soon, but I think I will wait for a while.I don't really need a new one and maybe I can find something else to give to the charity shop instead.

Ralph Waldo Emerson once said “Want is a growing giant whom the coat of Have was never large enough to cover.” Perhaps the best way to deal with our wants then is to give instead.Love, after all, brings us the most joy.And the more of it you give away, the more of it you have.

A．It cost too much.

B．It was looking dirty.

C．There was not enough room for his new coat.

D．It was not sent to someone in need.

解析　D　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Each day, though, when I opened my closet, something troubled me.It seemed a shame that my old but still good coat should just sit there keeping no one warm during the cold winter days.”结合下文作者把旧衣服捐到慈善机构可知，作者看到旧外套感到遗憾，是因为自己没把这件衣服送去帮助有需要的人。故选D。

3．What is the author's decision after his second coat becomes old?

A．Telling his daughter.

B．Buying a new one soon.

C．Donating it to charity.

D．Sending something else to charity.

解析　D　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“It is in too bad shape to even donate to charity.”和“I don't really need a new one and maybe I can find something else to give to the charity shop instead.”可知，第二件旧外套糟糕到无法捐赠，于是作者决定找别的物品送往慈善机构。故选D。

4．What does the author want to show in the last paragraph?

A．Giving fills our wants.

B．Love is the key to joy.

C．The more you give, the more you lose.

解析　A　推理判断题。根据最后一段“Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, ‘Want is a growing giant whom the coat of Have was never large enough to cover.’ Perhaps the best way to deal with our wants then is to give instead.Love, after all, brings us the most joy.And the more of it you give away, the more of it you have.”可知，作者引用了爱默生的名言，阐明人的欲望是无法通过拥有被完全满足的，并强调应用给予、爱和付出去对付欲望。由此可知，作者想说的是能真正填满欲望的不是索取而是给予。故选A。
