Passage 2

It was a dark and stormy night. Somewhere, Gary Bettman was seething. All these events being cancelled, and not by him.

On TV, anticipation was so animated it was heatedly debated and, in the way that television is ghastly in its predilections, the coverage was both ghoulish and foolish. On CNN, it went like this--in the studio, an anchor lady talking to a weather guy who noted, "it will be onshore in less than three hours," at which point anchor lady declared, "and there he is, All Velshi! " Cut to All Velshi, barely upright and ankle-deep in water in Atlantic City, in a fierce, whipping wind.

"All, at any point in time we will yank this, if you are in any danger at all," anchor lady announced helpfully. Then, "what else do you see, All?" To which he answered, "There's some siding flying off buildings. Unless you're kinda like us and reporting, there's no reason to be out here."

Too true. On channel after channel, reporters standing in howling winds and pouring rain to illustrate that, yeah, the storm was arriving and it was wicked, just as predicted. In case anyone thought it was a con "job.

Then the Hurricane Sandy devastation in New Jersey and New York. Footage of flooded

subways, as if massive waves of water finding an outlet in large holes in the ground was a surprise.

In Toronto's east end, a tree fell. Power went out. CP24 savoured i_t all, at last some real, honest-to-God disaster effects.

For all the raw footage and dramatic scenes of flooding, fires, rescue workers waist-deep in water and darkened buildings lashed by wind, television struggles to convey the authenticity of disaster-inducing storms. The fallback position is disaster-movie cliche and panicked voices in a studio commanding viewers to look (just look!) at this footage of flooding! The term "weather porn" doesn't do it justice.

Few live TV shows were taped in New York on Monday. But David Letterman wen

答案: D
本题解析:

题干问第五段划线的it指代什么。根据上文“In Toronto’s east end,a tree fell.Power went out."可知,在多伦多东区,“飓风桑迪”(Hurricane Sandy)已经造成树倒、断电的严重影响。因此,可知“CP24 savoured it all,at last some real。honest.t0.God disaster effects.”讲述的也是“飓风桑迪”带来的破坏性影响.即“加拿大卫星电视台CP 24也尝尽了‘飓风桑迪’带来的苦头,最后真可谓是一场灾难性的影响”.所以此处的it代指“飓风桑迪”(Hurricane Sandv).故选D。
