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 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．

【解答】（1）D．推理判断题．根据文章第一段，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"．寒冷的东北部并不是一个非常有趣的地方来度过这个冬天，所以当有机会去佛罗里达州的萨拉索塔度周末时，我的包在你说"阳光"之前就已经打包好了．可知，作者在纽约冬天的生活是令人厌烦的．A． Exciting兴奋激动的；B． Annoying厌烦的；C． Relaxing放松的；D． Boring无聊的，结合选项，故选D．

（2）D．细节理解题．根据文章第一段，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，因为几个月的低温根类蔬菜而变得迟钝﹣﹣是早上7点去萨拉索塔农贸市场的一次冒险，结果*这是值得提前叫醒的．可知，作者早上7点到农产品市场是有意义的．结合选项，选D．

（3）C．推理判断题．根据文章第三段，No matter how attractive they look in the store，once I get them home they're unfailingly dry，hard，and tasteless．不管它们在店里看起来有多吸引人，只要我把它们带回家，它们就会永远干枯、坚硬、无味．可知，纽约的西红柿在商店里看起来是很吸引人的．结合选项，故选C．
