Even though I own a home in Port St. Lucie just minutes from the ocean, an uncontrollable urge wells up to return to Long Island even as others make their way south. I guess I am a snowbird stuck in reverse. Instead of enjoying Florida39。s mild winters, I willingly endure the severe weather on Long Island, the place I called home for 65 years. I39。m like a migratory bird that has lost its sense of timing and direction, my wings flapping against season. So what makes me fly against the tide of snowbirds? The answer has a lot to do with my reluctance to give up the things that define who I am. Once I hear that the temperature on Long Island has dipped into the range of 40 to 50 degrees, I begin to long for the sight and crackling sound of a wood fire. I also long for the bright display o163。 colors — first in the fall trees, and then in the limits around homes and at Rockefeller Center. Floridians decorate too, but can39。t create the special feel of a New England winter. I suppose the biggest reason why I return is to celebrate the holidays with people I haven39。t seen in months. What could be better than sitting with family and friends for a Thanksgiving turkey dinner, or watching neighbors39。 children excitedly open gifts on Christmas? Even the first snowfall seems special. I especially enjoy seeing a bright red bird settling on a snowcovered branch (My wife and I spend winters at a retirement munity in Ridge, and I39。m grateful that I don39。t have to shovel.） While these simple pleasures are not unique to Long Island, they are some of the reasons why I e back. Who says you can39。t go home?（1）What does the underlined word snowbird in Paragraph 1 refer to? A.A person spending winter in a warmer climate.B.A bird seen chiefly in winter.C.A person permanently living in a foreign country.D.A bird flying to the south in winter.（2）What39。s the difference between Florida and Long Island?

A.To praise the beauty and warmth of his hometown.B.To describe his dream to be a free bird.C.To explain the reasons for moving from his hometown.D.To express his feeling of missing his hometown.【答案】 （1）A（2）C（3）C（4）D 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，介紹了作者自己獨(dú)特的習(xí)慣，喜歡家鄉(xiāng)寒冷的冬天，而不愿享受佛羅里達(dá)溫和的冬天；因?yàn)樽髡呦肽罴亦l(xiāng)的冬天，想念家鄉(xiāng)的景色，想念家鄉(xiāng)的親朋好友。 （1）考查詞義猜測。根據(jù)第一段中的“ Even though I own a home in Port St. Lucie just minutes from the ocean, an uncontrollable urge wells up to return to Long Island even as others make their way south.
