When I was a boy growing up in New Jersey in the 1960s, we had a milkman delivering milk to our 31 ．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 32 the coin changer fixed to his belt．He 33 this one day during a delivery and gave me a quarter out of his coin changer．

Of course, he delivered 34 milk．There was cheese, eggs and so on．If we needed to change our 35 , my mother would pen a note—“please 36 a bottle of buttermilk next delivery"—and place it in the box along with the 37 bottles．And then, the buttermilk would magically appear．

All of this was about more than 38 ．There existed a 39 relationship between families and their milkmen．Mr．Basilic even had a（n） 40 to our house, for those times when it was so cold outside that we put the box 41 , so that the milk wouldn’t 42 ．And I remember Mr．Basille from time to time taking a break at our kitchen table, having a cup of tea and telling 43 about his delivery．

There is 44 no home milk delivery today．Big companies allowed the production of cheaper milk, 45 making it difficult for milkmen to 46 ．Besides, milk is 47 almost everywhere, and it may just not have been 48 to have a delivery service．

Recently, an old milk box in the countryside I saw 49 my childhood memories．I took it home and planted it on the back porch．Every so often my son's friend will ask what it is．So I start telling stories of my boyhood, and of the milkman who brought us 50 along with his milk．

第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题，每题2分，满分40分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

Suppose you don’t need your car today. And suppose, as it happens, that a stranger in your area does need a car. Would you be willing to rent yours out?

Severalcar-sharing start-ups, including Getaround, RelayRides and JustShareIt, are eager to conneccar owners with renters this way. The companies have different rules, but participating owners receive, generally speaking, about two-thirds of the rental earnings. RelayRides says an owner of a midsize, late-model sedan who rents out a car for 10 hours a week could expect to clear about ＄3,000 a year.

Peer-to-peer car sharing remains in the trial stage; it can be found in San Francisco and a few other places. It has a long way to go before it becomes the auto equivalent of Airbnb, the surprise success story for peer-to-peer sharing of space in apartments and houses.

Shelby Clark, founder of RelayRides, says potential investors in his company have been concerned that owners will be afraid to hand their car over to strangers. To address that, he points to Airbnb, saying, “Letting people sleep in your living room is much more of a disturbance into your personal space than letting someone use your car.”

All of these companies offer their own insurance coverage for their renters, which are supposed to put owners’minds at ease. But only two states—California and Oregon—have passed laws to clarify that an owner will not suffer any consequences should a car-sharing renter have an accident.

“In all the other states, legal ambiguity remains,” Shelby Clark says. “If a renter should be involved in a serious accident in those states, the victim can be expected to go after every party possible, including the car’s owner.”

Also to remove the worries of car owners, the driving records of renters are checked for recent serious violations.

56. What does the underlined word “sedan” in Paragraph 2 probably refer to?

A. A kind of car. B. An owner of a car.

C. A renting company. D. A car-sharing renter.

57. Which of the following is true of Airbnb?

A. It cares little about personal privacy.

B. It deals with house-sharing successfully.

C. It is a very popular car-sharing company.

D. Its ideas are being tried out in some states.

58. If a car-sharing renter should have an accident in California, the car’s owner .

A. has to take legal responsibility

B. will not suffer the consequence

C. is not covered by health insurance

D. must pay the insurance for the renter

59. According to the text, more car-owners will participate in the service, if

A. legal ambiguity is clarified in all the states

B. renters are warned not to violate traffic rules

C. more money is given to participating owners

D. people are aware of the importance of sharing

B

Research by the Institute of Education （IOE） in London found that men who went to
