問題詳情:
The freezing Northeast hasn't been a terribly fun place to spend time this winter, so when the chance came for a weekend to Sarasota, Florida, my bags were packed before you could say "sunshine". I left for the land of warmth and vitamin C(維生素C), thinking of beaches and orange trees. When we touched down to blue skies and warm air, I sent up a small prayer of gratefulness. Swimming pools, wine tasting, and pink sunsets(at normal evening hours, not 4 in the afternoon) filled the weekend, but the best part﹣ particularly to my taste, dulled by months of cold﹣ weather root vegetables﹣ was a 7 a.m. adventure to the Sarasota farmers' market that proved to be more than worth the early wake﹣up call.
The market, which was founded in 1979, sets up its tents every Saturday from 7:00 am to 1 p.m.,rain or shine, along North Lemon and State streets. Baskets of perfect red strawberries, the red﹣painted sides of the Java Dawg coffee truck; and most of all, the tomatoes: amazing, large, soft and round red tomatoes.
Disappointed by many a broken, vine﹣ripened(蔓上成熟的) promise, I've refused to buy winter tomatoes for years. No matter how attractive they look in the store, once I get them home they're unfailingly dry, hard, and tasteless. But I homed in, with uncertainty, on one particular table at the Brown's Grove Farm's stand, full of fresh and soft tomatoes the size of my fist. These were the real deal﹣ and at that moment, I realized that the best part of Sarasota in winter was going to be eating things that back home in New York I wouldn't be experiencing again for months.
Delighted as I was by the tomatoes in sight, my happiness deepened when I learned that Brown's Grove Farm is one of the suppliers for Jack Dusty, a newly opened restaurant at the Sarasota Ritz Carlton, where﹣ luckily for me﹣ I was planning to have dinner that very night. Without even seeing the menu, I knew I'd be ordering every tomato on it.

【回答】
D D C
【分析】文章講述了作者生活在冬天寒冷的紐約,當有一個到佛羅里達州薩拉索塔度過一週時間的機會時,作者體驗到了與紐約不同的冬天.
【解答】(1)D.推理判斷題.根據文章第一段,The freezing Northeast hasn't been a terribly fun place to spend time this winter, so when the chance came for a weekend to Sarasota, Florida, my bags were packed before you could say "sunshine".寒冷的東北部並不是一個非常有趣的地方來度過這個冬天,所以當有機會去佛羅里達州的薩拉索塔度週末時,我的包在你說"陽光"之前就已經打包好了.可知,作者在紐約冬天的生活是令人厭煩的.A. Exciting興奮激動的;B. Annoying厭煩的;C. Relaxing放鬆的;D. Boring無聊的,結合選項,故選D.
(2)D.細節理解題.根據文章第一段,but the best part﹣ particularly to my taste, dulled by months of cold﹣ weather root vegetables﹣ was a 7 a.m. adventure to the Sarasota farmers' market that proved to be more than worth the early wake﹣up call.但是,最棒的部分﹣﹣尤其是我的口味,因為幾個月的低溫根類蔬菜而變得遲鈍﹣﹣是早上7點去薩拉索塔農貿市場的一次冒險,結果*這是值得提前叫醒的.可知,作者早上7點到農產品市場是有意義的.結合選項,選D.
(3)C.推理判斷題.根據文章第三段,No matter how attractive they look in the store,once I get them home they're unfailingly dry,hard,and tasteless.不管它們在店裡看起來有多吸引人,只要我把它們帶回家,它們就會永遠乾枯、堅硬、無味.可知,紐約的西紅柿在商店裡看起來是很吸引人的.結合選項,故選C.
【點評】做這類題材閱讀理解時要求考生對文章通讀一遍,做題時結合原文和題目有針對*的找出相關語句進行仔細分析,結合選項選出正確*.推理判斷題也是要在抓住關鍵句子的基礎上合理的分析才能得出正確*,切忌胡亂猜測,一定要做到有理有據.
