参考答案

正确答案:C
语义题根据第一段可知,作者将刚刚经过美国东北部的飓风桑迪与五年前袭击其家乡佛罗里达州的飓风威尔玛联系起来,指出这两次飓风虽然袭击的地点相差很远,但都在万圣节前夕来临;威尔玛来袭时作者的孩子只有十几岁,接着作者以过来人的身份给桑迪过境后正赶上过万圣节的孩子们的家长提了个建议,故选[C]。[A]指出家在美国南部的作者比起东北部的人们有更多关于飓风的记忆,而题干中的“commonality”指的是共同特征,故排除;[B]虽在常识上正确,但在第一段并未提及,故排除;[D]是作者针对全美多地在飓风桑迪来袭时取消万圣节的呼声而提出的个人建议,并不是作者和其他家长的共同点,故也排除。
