9、 a white cap and drove a white truck. As a fiveyearold boy, I couldnt 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
10、 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 the
11、ir milkmen. Mr. Basille even had a key to our house, for those times when it was so cold outside that we put the box indoors, so that the milk wouldnt 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.
12、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 s

He noticed this one day during a
15、 delivery and gave me a quarter out of his coin changer.”可知，五岁的时候，我目不转睛地盯着固定在他腰带上的换硬币机。有一天在送货的时候，他注意到了这一点，从他的换硬币机里拿出了一个25美分的硬币给我。由此判断出Mr. Basille 从他的换硬币机里拿出一枚25美分的硬币给了这个男孩是为了满足孩子的好奇心。故选C。5What can be inferred from the fact that the milkman had the key to the boys house?AHe wanted to have tea there.B

17、任。故选D。6Why does home milk delivery no longer exist?ANobody wants to be a milkman now.BIt has been driven out of the market.CIts service is getting poor.DIt is forbidden by law.B推理判断题。根据文章第四段的“Big companies allowed the production of cheaper milk, thus making it difficult for milkmen to compete.”可知大公司
18、允许生产更便宜的牛奶，从而使送奶工难以与之竞争。由此判断出，为什么家庭送奶不再存在是因为它已被逐出市场。故选B。7Why did the author bring back home an old milk box?AHe missed the good old days.BHe wanted to tell interesting stories.CHe missed it for his milk bottles.DHe planted flowers in it.A细节理解题。根据文章最后一段的“Recently, an old milk box in the countryside I
