We never thought we'd say this, but we'd welcome back some chilly weather. A cool mass of air heads toward the United States from the upper regions of Canada and Alaska this week, according to the National Weather Service. According to the NWS, a mass of cold air will drop from the Arctic regions to Canada and then the upper Midwest next week. Temperatures across the Midwest will drop into the 60s and 70s—a sharp difference from the 80 degree and 90 degree temperatures from recent weeks. And the relatively cooler air may be felt as far East as New York and Washington. The cool breezes may be a welcome relief this time around, but remember the last few times we got hit with Arctic air? Temperatures in cities including Chicago, Cleveland, New York, and Louisville fell into single-digit and negative territory for long stretches during the harsh winter months of early 2014. But we're sure you remember.

解析

本题考查细节理解。关键词：early 2014 主题句：最后1段：Temperatures in cities including Chicago, Cleveland, New York, and Louisville fell into single-digit and negative territory for long stretches during the harsh winter months of early 2014. 在2014年初的严冬季节，芝加哥、克利夫兰、纽约和路易斯维尔等城市的气温在很长时间内都下降带了个位数和负值。题目意为“根据文章，2014年初发生了什么？” A项指“美国气温下降到了负值”；B项指“在美国人们欢迎冷空气的到来”；C项指“寒冬袭击了美国部分城市”；D项指“北极气团袭击了美国几次”。主题句仅列举了美国几个城市，所以C项符合题意，应当选。故本题答案为C项。
