Try the following
Plot[x + 0.5, {x, 0, 1}, AxesOrigin -> {0, 0}, PlotRange -> {{-0.001,
1}, {0.001, 1.5}},
Ticks -> {Range[0, 1, 0.2], Range[0, 1.4, 0.2]}]
(*plot to be displayed*)
and you get what you want.
However there is one shortcoming: the point {0,0} is not displayed.
I cannot find a way to display it.
Based on my experience it is better to work with Frame:
Plot[x + 0.5, {x, 0, 1}, Frame -> True, Axes -> False, PlotRange ->
{{-0.001, 1},
{-0.001, 1.5}}]
(*plot to be displayed*)
Nevertheless, if you still want a plot with axes you can use Frame as
follows
(this modification of Frame option seems to be undocumanted in the
Help Browser; I learn it from David Park)
Plot[x + 0.5, {x, 0, 1}, Frame -> {True,True,False,False}, Axes ->
False, PlotRange ->
{{-0.001, 1}, {-0.001, 1.5}}]
(*plot to be displayed*)
