2 come to it cold 用法疑问

I can't really see what else I could be doing. I'm very confused about all this. I don't quite understand what I ought to do. Well, I suppose one could be a Chichester and rush across the Atlantic in a boat. But you know, really, I'm too tired for that. I think what I want to say to people is that if you're in this situation it isn't nearly as bad as people who try and put themselves in your position think it is.

For one thing, other people come to it cold, whereas I've been doing my homework on it for the last two years. I've got used to the idea and have come to the point of acceptance gradually. The other thing is that they're feeling well and vigorous, with lots of things they're in the middle of doing. But I am actually getting very tired and don't feel very well. 

句中For one thing, other people come to it cold, it后面的形容词cold在句中做什么成分?词句中的come to是表示进入......状态吗?

我的理解是:这里的 cold 是副词,意思是“无准备的”(without preparation),与后面的 have doing...for the last two years(最近两年一直在做某事——有准备)形成对比(同时注意句中表示比较的whereas)。

Other people come to it cold, whereas I've been doing my homework on it for the last two years.

意思是:其他人没有准备,而我在过去的两年一直在做准备。

注意句中的 homework 在此并非“家庭作业”,而是指“准备工作”,比如朗文对此的解释是:if you do your homework, you prepare for an important activity by finding out information you need.

附相关词典的解释如下:

For one thing, other people come to it cold, whereas I've been doing my homework on it for the last two years.

参考译文:有一件事情,其他人对它很冷谈,然而我在过去的两年时间里一直在做功课

备注:cold为形容词做方式状语,相当于in a cold way用一个很冷淡的方式或者副词coldly(冷淡地)。
