二、阅读理解
(2015·新课标全国卷Ⅰ)
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 (维生素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 coldweather root vegetables—was a 7 a．m. adventure to the Sarasota farmers' market that proved to be more than worth the early wakeup call.
The market, which was founded in 1979, sets up its tents every Saturday from 7 a．m. to 1 p．m., rain or shine, along North Lemon and State streets. Baskets of perfect red strawberries; the redpainted 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, vineripened (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.
语篇解读 本文描述了作者在严冬季节去佛罗里达州的萨拉索塔市(Sarasota)过周末的感受。在温暖如春的萨拉索塔市，各种蔬菜水果生机勃勃，而在寒冷的美国东北部，表面诱人的西红柿却食之无味。
1．What did the author think of her winter life in New York?
A. Exciting.
B. Boring.
C. Relaxing.
D. Annoying.
答案与解析 B 考查推理判断。根据文章第一句话中的“The freezing Northeast hasn't been a terribly fun place to spend time this winter”可判断，作者认为纽约的冬天很无趣。
2．What made the author's getting up early worthwhile?
A. Having a swim.
B. Breathing in fresh air.
C. Walking in the morning sun.
D. Visiting a local farmers' market.
答案与解析 D 考查细节理解。根据第一段最后一句中的“the best part...was a 7 a．m. adventure to the Sarasota farmers' market that proved to be more than worth the early wakeup call”可知，作者早上七点起床去集贸市场，看到各种新鲜的蔬菜水果，所以她认为早起很值得。
3．What can we learn about tomatoes sold in New York in winter?
A. They are soft.
B. They look nice.
C. They taste great.
D. They are juicy.
答案与解析 B 考查推理判断。根据第三段可知，多年来，作者在冬季都不买西红柿。由第二句话“No matter how attractive they look in the store, once I get them home they're unfailingly dry, hard, and tasteless”可判断，在纽约市的冬季，西红柿在商店看起来挺好的，但是拿到家里吃起来却没有味道。因此答案为B。
4．What was the author going to do that evening?
A. Go to a farm.
B. Check into a hotel.
C. Eat in a restaurant.
D. Buy fresh vegetables.
答案与解析 C 考查推理判断。根据文章的最后一段可知，看到集贸市场上新鲜的西红柿，作者的幸福感大增，计划当晚就去萨拉索塔市一个新开业的餐馆吃饭。

答案与解析
语篇解读 家中厨房着火，邻居前来帮助，作者深受感动。
1．B 根据上文中的“While I was chatting to my grandmother about my busy day”及下文中的“wanting to know if we，too, could smell burning”可判断，她是打断了“我”和奶奶之间的谈话，故选interrupt。
2．A 根据上文中的“if we，too，could smell burning”可判断，应该是什么东西烧着了，故选A。
3．C go和come都是不及物动词，不能直接接宾语，故排除；near可作动词(及物或不及物)，表示“接近”；close作及物动词，意思是“关；结束；使靠近”。
4．A 根据后面的“the stove was on fire and smoke was blowing out of the window. I yelled to...My sister grabbed...to call the fire brigade (消防队) and, together with the dog，we ran away from the house”可判断，情况非常危急，故选D。delight“高兴”；amazement“惊讶”；disappointment“遗憾”；horror“恐惧”。
5．D 根据上文中的“we quickly checked every room in the house”以及此处是“我”发现的厨房的情况可判断，姐姐和奶奶二人不曾到过厨房，不然不会等到“我”发现才通知大家，故选D。get out of“从……出去”；get back to“回到……”；get through“穿过”；get into“进入”。
6．A 根据后面的目的状语“to call the fire brigade (消防队)”可知，姐姐一把抓起了电话。
7．B 根据前文的“the stove was on fire and smoke was blowing out of the window”以及后面的“waited for help”可判断，在这种紧急情况下，等待救援的心情应该是焦急的。
8．C 根据后面的“if we were hurt”可知，她是过来检查(check)我们是否受伤。
9．D 根据后面的“the fire brigade”可知，选alert(向……报警)。根据上文她们母女ran towards us可推断，她们不可能是“遇见(meet)”了消防队。
10．D 根据上文的“if we were hurt...She hugged us and was very delighted to see us”可知，此时能使她们感到高兴的当然是我们没有受伤，非常安全。
11．C 她让我们坐在她的车里等着，直到火扑灭了再出来。until“直到……”。
12．B 根据下文的“some order had been restored”可知，这位好心人是在确定了情况好转后，才决定送女儿去参加舞蹈演出的。
13．A 根据下文的原因状语“as she had to take her daughter to a dance performance”可知，她要送女儿去参加舞蹈演出，说明不能陪伴我们了。unable“不能”；uncertain“不确定”；inconvenient“不方便”；impossible“不可能”。
14．A 根据后面的“to return later to check in on us”以及文章以“我”的口气讲述的这个故事可判断，她应该是跟我们承诺之后来探望我们。promise“承诺；答应”；decide“决定”；refuse“拒绝”；expect“期望”。
15．D 根据下文的“We thanked her very much”可知，女士的好心和周到让“我”感激得说不出话。
16．B go out of one's way为固定短语，意思是“特地；不怕麻烦”。
17．C 根据上文的“Once the lady was __12__ that some order had been restored，she apologized for being __13__ to stay longer，as she had to take her daughter to a dance performance.”可知，情况一旦稳定下来，女士就要送女儿去参加舞蹈表演，说明她们的时间已经很紧张了，此处我们催促她别再耽误时间了。
18．D 参见上题解析。
19．C 根据后面的“from earlier at the door...I didn't ask her where she lived so my family hasn't been able to thank her properly for her thoughtful actions that day”可知，来访者正是帮助过我们的那位女士。
20．B 根据后面的“I didn't ask her where she lived so my family hasn't been able to thank her properly for her thoughtful actions that day.”可知，“我”对于没能问她的住处感到遗憾。unfortunately“不幸地；可惜；很遗憾”，符合语境。
