10、。要求考生推测送奶工给小男孩硬币的目的。文中第一段第三、四行指出 “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.”意思为“我无法把目光从他腰间系的自动换币机上移开，一次送奶时他注意到了这点并且给了我二十五美分。”由此可以推测出送奶工是为了满足小男孩的好奇心而送给他二十五美分，故选择C项。57【答案】D【解析】本题属于推理判断题中的深层推理题

11、。考查根据文中提供的事实进行推断，属于中等难度的题。要求考生根据送奶工有男孩家的钥匙这一事实进行推测。文中第三段第一、二行指出“There existed a close relationship between families and their milkmen.”意思为“家庭和他们的送奶工之间有一种亲密的关系。”下文中接着指出送奶工有男孩家的钥匙，当天冷的时候男孩家把牛奶箱放在室内以防止牛奶冻结。联系上下文可以推知，送奶工受到男孩家充分的信任，故选择D项。58【答案】B【解析】本题属于细节理解中的事实细节题。考查考生对文章内容的理解以及对细节的把握，属于较易难度题。考查如今人们不用送奶工

12、送牛奶的原因。文中倒数第二段对此进行了详细解释。文中指出“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.”一方面大公司生产出更便宜和更实用的牛奶，另一方面到处都在销售牛奶，已经不用送奶工人送牛奶了，由此可知，送牛奶已经被赶出了市场

13、，故选择B项。59【答案】A【解析】本题属于细节理解中的事实细节题。针对文中细节发问，考查考生对于细节的把握，属于较易难度题。考查作者把一个旧的牛奶箱带回家的原因。由最后一段最后一句“So I start telling stories of my boyhood, and of the milkman who brought us friendship along with his milk.”可知，由此作者开始讲述其孩提时代的故事，以及给作者和家人带来友谊和牛奶的送奶工。因此，作者把旧的牛奶箱子带回家的原因是怀念以往的美好日子，故选择A项。doorstep英d:step, dr-美drst
