答案 C

解析段首句是观点句，该句说“在我的童年时期还没有冰箱，但是我吃得很好、很健康”，接着提到了“送奶工每天送奶，食品商等每周送两三次货”，在该段最后一句中提到“30年过去了，供货者已经不再送食物（上门）了……”，结合语境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项没有冰箱的日子是答案。
段首句是观点句，该句说“冰箱促进了市场梢售“，而“marketing（市场销售）”这个词也是在段落中反复出现，因此判断选项中应该出现与该词相呼应的词或内容，因此判断F项commerce (贸易）与marketing( 销售）呼应，是答案。
该段段首句很长，但是注意到段首句中出现了由转折词but所引导的转折句（段首句、段末句中的转折分句处的句意往往很可能是段落的主题句），该部分内容说“但是世界上绝大多数的冰箱被发现是用在那些天气温暖、富有的国家里，这些国家从气候上说几乎不必使用冰箱”，借助这部分内容判断E项由冰箱所造成的能源浪费是答案的最佳选项。
段首句是观点句，该句说“冰箱对环境的影响一直是很显著的（借助常识和背景知识，我们能意识到这里所说‘对环境的影响，是指‘对环境的污染，)，而冰箱给人类所带来的幸福却是微不足道的”，这个句子很明确地反映了作者的观点，对比剩下的被选项，判断B项冰箱所带来的污染是最佳的选项。
空格所在句子的基本时态（主句时态）是一般过去时，所以空格所在的结构（从句结构）应该是过去时态的一种，所以只有选项A、F可能是答案。由文章第二段第一、二句可知，在20世纪50年代，冰箱开始使用之前，牛奶、肉、蔬菜等食物都会被送上门，所以人们仍然可能获得新鲜的食物。A项最合适。
由第三段第一句可知，冰箱的发明并没有提供一种新型、经济的方法来保存食物，C项最合适。
空格前面部分的内容说“冰箱的发明所作出的一个重要的贡献是……”我们在解答概括大意题时，已经了解到“市场销售/贸易”是“冰箱的贡献”，对比剩下的选项，可判断B项冰箱促进了各种商品的梢售是正确答案。
空格前面部分的内容说“如果你停止使用冰箱，至少你不会被……噪音所影响”。由第五段第二句和第六段最后一句可知噪音是冰箱工作时产生的。由此下项是正确答案。
