B.theauthorwasnotaccustomedtousingfridgeseveninhisfifties
C.therewasnofridgeintheauthor'shomeinthe1950s
D.thefridgewasinitsearlystageofdevelopmentinthe1950s
正确答案：
C
解析：
词语释义题。
inone’sfifties表示“在50年代”，fridgeless一词作形容词，意思是“没有冰箱的”，因此选项C是正确答案。
12Whydoestheauthorsaythatnothingwaswastedbeforetheinventionoffridges?
A.Peoplewouldnotbuymorefoodthanwasnecessary.
B.Foodwasdeliveredtopeopletwoorthreetimesaweek.
C.Foodwassoldfreshanddidnotgetrotteneasily.
D.Peoplehadeffectivewaystopreservetheirfood.
正确答案：
D
解析：
细节题。
在文章第二段中作者说“nothingwaswasted”，并在第三段中给出原因——“avastwayofwell-triedtechniquesalreadyexisted（存在许多被证明有效的方法）”，所以选项D——“人们用各种有效的方法来保存食物”为正确答案。
13Whobenefitedtheleastfromfridgesaccordingtotheauthor?
A.Inventors.
B.Consumers.
C.Manufacturers.
D.Travelingsalesmen（巡回推销员）.
正确答案：
B
解析：
推断题。
根据常识，冰箱投放市场，发明冰箱的人自然得利；冰箱畅销，生产厂家也获利；厂家雇用一批人为其推销产品，如推销成功，巡回推销员也获利。
作者在第三、第五和第六段中依次提到：
冰箱的发明对食物保存无多大贡献；每年冬天当外界免费提供所需温度时，消费者却要花大价钱以维持一个人工制冷时间；冰箱对环境的影响是显而易见的，而对人类幸福的贡献却无足轻重，据此可以得出结论——消费者从冰箱身上获益最小，因此选项B是正确答案。
14WhichofthefollowingphrasesinPara.5indicatesthefridge'snegativeeffectontheenvironment?
A."Humawaycontinuously".
B."Climaticallyalmostunnecessary".
C."Artificially-cooledspace".
D."Withmildtemperatures".
