The Fridge
1.The fridge is considered a necessity.It has been so since the 1960s when packaged food first appeared with the label: "store in the refrigerator."
2.In my fridgeless Fifties childhood, I was fed well and healthily.The milkman came daily, the grocer, the butcher, the baker, and the ice-cream man delivered two or three times a week.The Sunday meat would last until Wednesday and surplus bread and milk became all kinds of cakes.Nothing was wasted and we were never troubled by rotten food. Thirty years on, food deliveries have ceased, fresh vegetables are almost unobtainable in the country.
3.The invention of the fridge contributed comparatively little to the art of food preservation.A vast variety of well-tried techniques already existed—natural cooling, drying, smoking, salting, sugaring, botding…
4.What refrigeration did promote was marketing—marketing hardware and electricity, marketing soft drinks, marketing dead bodies of animals around the globe in search of a good price.
5.Consequendy, most of the world’s fridges are to be found, not in the tropics where they might prove useful, but in the wealthy countries with mild temperatures where they are climatically almost unnecessary.Every winter, millions of fridges hum away continuously, and at vast expanse, busily maintaining an artificially-cooled space inside an artificially-heated house—while outside, nature provides the desired temperature free of charge.
6.The fridge’s effect upon the environment has been evident, while its contribution to human happiness has been insignificant.If you don’t believe me, try it yourself.Invest in a food cabinet and turn off your fridge next winter.You may miss the hamburgers but at least you’ll get ride of that terrible hum.
A.The invention of the fridge.
B.The pollution caused by fridges.
C.The widespread need for fridges.
D.The days without the fridge.
E.The waste of energy caused by fridges.
F.The fridge’s contribution to commerce.
Paragraph 2______
选项
答案
D
解析
该段首句(观点句)说“在我小时候的50年代还没有冰箱,但是我吃得很好、很健康”,接着提到了“送奶工每天送奶,食品商等每周几次送货”,在内容上具体说明“没用使用冰箱时的生活情况”,在该段最后一句中提到“30年过去了,食品已经不再送货上门了……”结合该句内容不难推断该段中前面部分的主要内容是有关“没有冰箱”时生活情况的描述,因此判断D(没有冰箱的日子)是正确答案。
