体裁：记叙文话题：友谊情深时间：7分钟When milk arrived on the doorstepWhen I was a boy growing up in New Jersey in the 1960s，we had a milkman delivering milk to our doorstep.His name wasMr.Basille.He wore a white cap and drove a white truck.As a5-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 our 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 mayjust 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 theback porch(门廊)．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.【语篇导读】本文记叙文，作者使用夹叙夹议的写作手法回忆了自己小时候家人和送奶人之间的深厚友谊，表达了作者对儿时生活及送奶人的怀念。

1．Mr.Basille gave the boy a quarter out of his coin changer ______.A．to show his magical powerB．to pay for the deliveryC．to satisfy his curiosityD．to please his mother解析推理判断题。

根据第一段最后两句话可知我目不转睛地盯着对方的东西是出于一个五岁孩子的好奇心，而送奶人这样做是为了满足我的好奇心。

答案 C2．What can be inferred from the fact that the milkman had the key to the boy's house?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.解析推理判断题。

由第三段内容可知送奶人是被信任的人，所以可以拥有“我”家的钥匙，以方便送奶。

答案 D3．Why does home milk delivery no longer exist?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.解析推理判断题。

由第四段可知：第一，大公司竞争力强；第二，牛奶销售到处可见。

二者足以把送奶人排挤出市场。

答案 B4．Why did the author bring back home an old milk box?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.解析推理判断题。

由文中字里行间可知，作者怀念儿时的时光，怀念与送奶人之间的深厚情谊，再根据最后一句：我开始讲述我儿时的故事，讲述送奶人的故事，可知作者在怀旧。

答案 A【长难句解读】原文Big companies allowed the production of cheaper milk，thus making it difficult for milkmen to compete.译文大公司可以生产出更便宜的牛奶，这就使得送奶人很难与之竞争。

分析本句making为非谓语动词，为结果状语。

体裁：记叙文话题：人物介绍时间：6分钟Peter Byford was born in a stone house in Honley，and when he was tiny his dad，a former miner，got a job in the textile trade and the Byford's moved to Skelmanthorpe.Life was tough but fun，and young Peter spent his days in the rolling countryside，rafting on the river，making tree camps or playing on his own with his model railway and soldiers.His world was rocked by tragedy when his mother died，which destroyed young Peter，a shy child who suddenly had to grow up fast.Though grieving，he went up the road to live with his aunt and uncle，and returned home much too young to face the next challenge，that of looking after his dad，who had lost an arm in an accident in a factory.By then he had taken the nickname as Biff.The younger Biff struggled at school because of his shyness，but loved the music lessons and became friends with a classmate whose brother had a guitar.At the same time a young man who had a banjo(班卓琴)moved into the house opposite where he lived and he taught young Biff how to play it.The seeds had been sown and music began to influence his life.But even so，his working career began，in typical fashion for 1960s West Yorkshire.After a short time as an apprentice(学徒)carpenter，he went to work in the local weaving factory.And thiswas where Biff Byford，soon to become a legend in the world ofrock，first learned to sing.The machines would run all day，clickety-clack，clickety-clack.The noise was incredible，and theworkers would spend their time trying to lip read each other.It was just so noisy in there.It was really heavy metal.The only thing to do was sing to yourself.So sing to himself he did，themelodies(旋律)locking in place in his head，not to be forgotten.His dream first exploded into a rocking reality.【语篇导读】Peter Byfords的演唱生涯起源于他周围的人和他的工作环境的影响。
