2016高考英语二轮：（寒假）阅读理解训练（22）及答案

A
We spent a day in the country, picking wild flowers. With the car full of flowers we were going
home. On our way back my wife noticed a cupboard (柜厨) outside a furniture shop. It was tall and
narrow. “Buy it, ” my wife said at once. “We’ll carry it home on the roof rack. I’ve always wanted
one like that.”
What could I do? Ten minutes later I was ￡20 poorer; and the cupboard was tied on the roof rack.
It was six feet long and eighteen inches square, quite heavy too.
In the gathering darkness I drove slowly. Other drivers seemed unusually polite that evening. The
police even stopped traffic to let us through. Carrying furniture was a good idea.
After a time my wife said, “There’s a long line of cars behind. Why don’t they overtake, I wonder?”
In fact a police car did overtake. The two officers inside looked at us seriously as they passed. But
then, with great kindness, they led us through the rush-hour traffic. The police car stopped at our
village church. One of the officers came to me.
“Right, sir, ” he said. “Do you need any more help?”
I was a bit puzzled. “Thanks, officer, ” I said. “You have been very kind. I live just on the road.”
He was staring at our car, first at the flowers, then at the cupboard. “Well, well, ” he said, laughing.
“It’s a cupboard you’ve got there! We thought it was something else.”
My wife began to laugh. The truth hit me like a stone between the eyes. I smiled at the officer. “Yes,
it’s a cupboard, but thanks again.” I drove home as fast as I could.
