1.[C]句意理解题。由句中的childhood可知,fifties指的应该是50年代,而不可能是50多岁,据此可排除A、B;fridgeless是合成词,由词根fridge"冰箱”和表示否定的后缀-less组成,由可推断其意为“无冰箱的",故C正确。
2.[D]事实细节题。在第2段中,说到“不会浪费东西”前,作者指出把吃剩的面包和牛奶做成蛋糕,以防止浪费,故D正确。A、C在文中并未提及,排除;B所述并非不浪费食物的原因,也可排除。
3.[B]观点态度题。综观全文,作者对认为冰箱不是必备品,最后一段更明确指出,它对人类幸福的贡献微不足道,故可推断,消费者从冰箱中获益最少,故B正确。
4.[A]词义理解题。A中的hum指"发出嗡嗡声",表明冰箱产生的嗓音,是对环境的负面作用,故正确。B、D只是指出冰箱在实际上没有必要使用的地区却被广泛使用;C仅说明冰箱是对人工加热房间的影响,并不能说明其对环境的影响,故排除。
5.[B]观点态度题。考査作者的观点,可根据文中细节得出答案。第3段首提到,冰箱对保存食物没有多大贡献,最后一段首则指出它对环境的影响已是显而易见的,这些细节都表明作者对冰箱持批评态度。
