题目内容
11．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（魔术般） 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 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（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．

分析 本文是一篇人物故事类的记叙文．讲述的是作者是乡村看到一个牛奶箱，并由此回想起童年时期，作者一家与送牛奶的Mr．Basille之间的友好故事．同时，由于大公司的牛奶生产以及牛奶的普及，现在已经很少有专门送牛奶的人存在了，作者表达了对童年的这段生活的怀念之情．
解答 1：细节题．由第一段第三句"…I couldn't take my eyes off the coin changer fixed to his belt．"可知作者目不转睛地盯着送奶人的 coin changer，说明他对此很感兴趣，故正确答案为C．
2：推理题．由第三段第二句"There existed a close relationship between families and their milkmen．"可知送奶工与作者家庭有着很密切的关系，由此可推断出作者家庭对送奶工非常信任．故正确答案为D．
3：主旨题．由第四段后两句"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．"可知送奶工很难与大企业竞争而且牛奶到处都有卖，所以送奶工已经没有市场了．A项，文中没有写没有人不愿意再做送奶工，所以A项错误．C项，文中没有写服务质量下降，所以C项错误．D项，文中没有写政府出台法律禁止这项工作，所以D项错误．故正确答案为B．
4：推理题．由文章最后两句"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．"可知作者对儿时与送奶工有关的故事回忆很多，即可推断作者很怀念儿时仍能每天见到送奶工的时光，所以A项正确．B项，由倒数第二段"There is sadly no home milk delivery today．"可知作者认为故事并不有趣，所以B项错误．C项，作者怀念的是童年的回忆，而不是丢失的牛奶瓶．所以C项错误．D项，文中没有相关内容，所以D项错误．故正确答案为A．
