1.A
When milk arrived on the doorstep
When I was a boy growing up in New Jersey in the 1960s,we had a milkman delivering milk to our doorstep.His name was Mr.Basille.He wore a white cap and drove a white truck.As a 5-year-old boy,I couldn't take my eyes off the coin changer fixed to his belt.He noticed this one day during a delivery and gave me a quarter out of his coin changer.
Of course,he delivered more than milk.There was cheese,eggs and so on.If we needed to change our order,my mother would pen a note-"Please add a bottle of buttermilk next delivery"-and place it in the box along with the empty bottles.And then,the buttermilk would magically appear.
All of this was about more than convenience.There existed a close relationship between families and their milkmen.Mr.Basille even had a key to out house,for those times when it was so cold outside that we put the box indoors,so that the milk wouldn't freeze.And I remember Mr.Basille from time to time taking a break at our kitchen table,having a cup of tea and telling stories about his delivery.
There is sadly no home milk delivery today.Big companies allowed the production of cheaper milk,thus making it difficult for milkmen to compete.Besides,milk is for sale everywhere,and it may just not have been practical to have a delivery service.
Recently,an old milk box in the countryside I saw brought back my childhood memories.I took it home and planted it on the back porch (門廊).Every so often my son's friends will ask what it is.So I start telling stories of my boyhood,and of the milkman who brought us friendship along with his milk.
56.Mr Basille gave the boy a quarter out of his coin changerC.
A.to show his magical power.B.to pay for the delivery.
C.to satisfy his curiosity.D.to please his mother.
57.What can be inferred from the fact that the milkman had the key to the boy's house?D
A.He wanted to have tea there.B.He was a respectable person.
C.He was treated as a family member.D.He was fully trusted by the family.
58.Why does home milk delivery no longer exist?B
A.Nobody wants to be a milkman now.B.It has been driven out of the market.
C.Its service is getting poor.D.It is forbidden by law.
59.Why did the author bring back home an old milk box?A
A.He missed the good old days.B.He wanted to tell interesting stories.
C.He needed it for his milk bottles.D.He planted flowers in it.

分析 本文描述了一位名叫Basille先生的送奶工.在我5歲時,曾對固定在他皮帶上找零的硬幣夾感到好奇.一天在送貨的時候他發(fā)現(xiàn)了,就從里面拿出一枚25分的硬幣送給我.
當(dāng)時每一家都與他們的送奶工都保持著良好的關(guān)系.Basille先生甚至有我們家的鑰匙,在天很冷的時候,為防止牛奶被凍住Basille先生會來家里休息,喝茶,聊他的送貨經(jīng)歷.
后來由于大公司允許生產(chǎn)更便宜的牛奶;另外,牛奶到處都可以買到,漸漸地就不需要送奶工的服務(wù)了.
當(dāng)我在鄉(xiāng)下看到了一個舊牛奶箱后,就把它帶回家并按在后門廊上.還經(jīng)常為孩子的朋友講述我的童年以及與送奶工的故事.

解答 答案:
56:C 細(xì)節(jié)推理題 根據(jù)第一段中"I couldn't take my eyes off…during a delivery."由于一天在送貨的時候他注意到:我目不轉(zhuǎn)睛地看著固定在他皮帶上的找零的硬幣夾.可知,是因為他看到了我的好奇,所以,就拿出了一枚25分的硬幣送給我.故選:C
57:D 細(xì)節(jié)推理題 本題容易錯選C 他被當(dāng)做家庭成員來對待,單從將家里鑰匙留給送奶工,并不能體現(xiàn)這一點.根據(jù)第三段的中心句"There existed a close relationship between families and their milkmen."(每一家與他們的送奶工都保持著良好的關(guān)系)以及將家里鑰匙留給送奶工可推知,他們之間有著良好的信任關(guān)系,故選C.
58:B 細(xì)節(jié)推理題 根據(jù)第四段提到的兩點:一、"Big companies allowed the production of cheaper milk."大公司允許生產(chǎn)更便宜的牛奶.二、"milk is for sale everywhere"牛奶到處都可以買到.所以送奶業(yè)就不再景氣,失去了存在的意義.故選B
59:A 細(xì)節(jié)推理題 本題考查了作者將牛奶箱帶回家的原因.根據(jù)最后一段"an old milk box in the countryside I saw brought back my childhood memories"我在鄉(xiāng)下看見的一個舊牛奶箱勾起了我童年的回憶.并且在下文中提到經(jīng)常給兒子的朋友講過去送奶工的故事,可見他對過去的懷念,故選A

點評 此類文章描述的通常是某一事件的發(fā)生發(fā)展的過程,并滲透著作者的態(tài)度及寫作意圖,考查學(xué)生對細(xì)節(jié)的分析,推理判斷能力.所以要理順作者的寫作思路,緊緊抓住細(xì)節(jié)描寫,揣摩文中的意義.
