　　(2015·课标Ⅰ，B)

　　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：本文是记叙文。讲的是作者在冬天离开寒冷的纽约到佛罗里达州的萨拉索塔的经历。那里气候宜人，水果蔬菜新鲜美味。

　　1．What did the author think of her winter life in New York?

　　A．Exciting.B．Boring.

　　C．Relaxing.

　　D．Annoying.

　　答案：B　推理判断题。根据文章第一段第一句“The freezing Northeast hasn't been a terribly fun place to spend time this winter, so...”可知，纽约不是一个过冬的好地方，选项中与句中的hasn't been a terribly fun相对应的是boring，故选B项。

　　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：D　细节理解题。根据文章第一段最后一句“...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7点去农贸市场是很值得早起的事情，故选D项。

　　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：B　细节理解题。根据文章第三段第二句“No matter how attractive they look in the store, once I get them home they're unfailingly dry, hard, and tasteless.”可知，在冬季，纽约的西红柿只是外表吸引人，买回家之后才发现它们又干又硬，而且无味，故选B项。

　　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：C　细节理解题。根据文章最后一段第一句“...a newly opened restaurant at the Sarasota Ritz Carlton, where—luckily for me—I was planning to have dinner that very night.”可知，作者晚上要在餐馆吃饭，故选C项。

　　B

　　People aren't walking any more—if they can figure out a way to avoid it.

　　I felt superior about this matter until the other day I took my car to mail a small parcel. The journey is a matter of 281 steps. But I used the car. And I wasn't in any hurry, either. I had merely become one more victim of a national sickness: motorosis.

　　It is an illness to which I had thought myself immune (免疫的) , for I was bred in the tradition of going to places on my own two legs. At that time, we regarded 25 miles as a good day's walk and the ability to cover such a distance in ten hours as a sign of strength and skill. It did not occur to us that walking was a hardship. And the effect was lasting. When I was 45 years old I raced—and beat—a teenage football player the 168 steps up the Statue of Liberty.

　　Such enterprises today are regarded by many middle­aged persons as bad for the heart. But a well­known British physician, Sir Adolphe Abrahams, pointed out recently that hearts and bodies need proper exercise. A person who avoids exercise is more likely to have illnesses than one who exercises regularly. And walking is an ideal form of exercise—the most familiar and natural of all.

　　It was Henry Thoreau who showed mankind the richness of going on foot. The man walking can learn the trees, flowers, insects, birds and animals, the significance of seasons, the very feel of himself as a living creature in a living world. He cannot learn in a car.

　　The car is a convenient means of transport, but we have made it our way of life. Many people don't dare to approach Nature any more; to them the world they were born to enjoy is all threat. To them security is a_steel_river thundering on a concrete road. And much of their thinking takes place while waiting for the traffic light to turn green.

　　I say that the green of forests is the mind's best light. And none but the man on foot can evaluate what is basic and everlasting.

　　语篇解读：本文主要介绍了现代人对汽车的依赖，分析了步行的种种好处。号召大家回到步行这种好的方式上来。

　　5．What is the national sickness?

　　A．Walking too much.

　　B．Traveling too much.

　　C．Driving cars too much.

　　D．Climbing stairs too much.

　　答案：C 　细节理解题。从第二段作者去281步远的地方都要开车，说自己是这种全国性疾病的牺牲品。故本题答案为C项。

　　6．The author mentions Henry Thoreau to prove that ________.

　　A．middle­aged people like getting back to nature

　　B．walking in nature helps enrich one's mind

　　C．people need regular exercise to keep fit

　　D．going on foot prevents heart disease

　　答案：B　 推理判断题。从第五段的第二句“The man walking can learn the trees, flower, insects, birds and animals, the significance of seasons, the very feel of himself as a living creature in a living world, He cannot learn in a car.”可知，Henry Thoreau在大自然中步行丰富了自己的头脑。

　　7．What is compared to “a steel river” in Paragraph 6?

　　A．A queue of cars.

　　B．A ray of traffic light

　　C．A flash of lightning

　　D．A stream of people.

　　答案：A　短语词义猜测题。由上下文可知，“To them security is a steel river thundering on a concrete road.”意为：对他们来说，安全就是在一条具体的公路上排一大排长队的汽车。故A项为正确答案。

　　8．What is the author's intention of writing this passage?

　　A．To tell people to reflect more on life.

　　B．To recommend people to give up driving.

　　C．To advise people to do outdoor activities.

　　D．To encourage people to return to walking.

　　答案：D　 写作目的题。从文章的最后一句话可知，作者说了步行的种种好处，倡导人们多去步行。故本题答案为D项。
