答案解析
D1
1. C. Hot pot isn’t just designed to keep you warm during the cold months - it’s also a social experience.和There is a lot of fun for everyone to have in adding ingredients to the hot pot.可知选C。
2. B. 根据文意可知 英国人吃饭的时候不喜欢和别人分享自己的食物，而是各吃各的。
3. B. 文中提到When we come to eat at the table in the UK, we tend to have our own individual portions (份额), although the experience is still a social one. 课件英国人习惯自己吃自己的东西，所以他们遇到大家同吃一锅菜的情况会感到不适应。

D3
1. B. 文章开头介绍飓风桑迪给纽约市带来的混乱是为了引入话题:即飓风桑迪对美国的影响以及为什么会产生如此巨大的影响。
2. D. 根据Sandy was energized (增强) not only by warm ocean water, but also by the cold air coming from the northwest.可是超级飓风是冷暖空气共同作用的而结果。根据Scientists said it was because Sandy’s arrival coincided (同时发生) with a full moon, which normally means higher-than-usual high tides (潮水). 可知满月造成潮水高涨但是并不是满月造成飓风桑迪比其他飓风更猛烈。原文提到This monster (庞大的) storm landed last Monday on the US’ east coast and brought with it damaging winds, flooding, blackout (停电) and even heavy snow.
3. B. 原文提到“With the full moon on Monday, with Sandy coming up the Bay, we’re very concerned about flooding in our low-lying (低地的) coastal areas.”所以不选A，另外文章中也没有提到城市人口大规模疏散。所以应当选B，文章中也提到美国东海岸的城市受到了飓风侵袭。
4. B. 纵观全文，主要介绍了飓风桑迪给美国东海岸带来的影响并解释了为何此次飓风影响如此之大。

4. C。从文章最后一句点睛This simple nice gesture changed both of their lives forever.可判断C正确。
