Milan has it all, whether you love fashion, homeware, or jewellery. Let us help you get started with the best fashion destinations in Milan.Quadrilatero della ModaThis is Milan's fashion soul. Think about some famous designers. They will most likely have an atelier (工作室) here. It is one of the main shopping streets in the world, along with Paris' Avenue des Champs­Elysées and New York's Fifth Avenue.But walking along these streets isn't only about shopping. It's also about sightseeing. As you walk past the luxury (奢侈品) brands, you'll see some of Milan's most famous landmarks, including Palazzo Morando and Poldi Pezzoli Museum.Opening times: Most shops between 10：00 and 19：00 or 20：00Nearest station: 4­minute walk from MontenapoleoneCorso VercelliIf you're wondering where local people in Milan go shopping, it's Corso Vercelli. It is close to Fiera Milano, not too far from Parco Sempione.The roots of this avenue date back to the late 19th century, when it was particularly favoured by tax and duty laws. Today, it offers exciting shopping opportunities with smaller crowds. The historic tram crossing the area gives it a unique atmosphere.Opening times：Most shops between 10：00 and 19：00 or 20：00Nearest station：4­minute walk from Pagano StationSempione AreaThe area around Parco Sempione is one of the most picturesque areas. It offers endless shopping opportunities—both high­end and budget­friendly.Thanks to the wide range of restaurants, bars and clubs, it's trendy among students and young professionals, making it the perfect place to grab a bargain.If you head east from the park, you'll be bound to come across Milan's Chinatown—the largest and oldest in Italy, where you'll find plenty of affordable knick­knacks (小装饰物) and furniture.Opening times: Most shops between 9：30 and 19：30 or 20：30Nearest station: 14­minute walk from  Milan Cadorna StationAnother place is the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele Ⅱ， which houses stores like Louis Vuitton and expensive restaurants. If you are looking for upscale fashion and jewellery stores, via Brera and Corso Buenos Aires are your go­to destinations.Opening times: Mostly between 10：00 and 20：001．Who will be most interested in visiting Corso Vercelli?A．Those with generous budgets who look for luxury brands.B．People who are curious about Milan's local life and history.C．Fashion students and young professionals.D．Sightseers from the Greater China.2．In which place can you shop for a longer period of time?A．Quadrilatero della Moda.B．Sempione Area.C．Corso Vercelli.D．Galleria Vittorio Emanuele Ⅱ.3．What is the text mainly about?A．Why Milan is called Italy's fashion capital.B．How to travel around Milan for shopping?C．Some of the best places for shopping in Milan.D.A couple of exciting things to do in Milan.B[2022·福州高中毕业班质检]Climbing, I once thought, was a very manly activity, but as I found my way into this activity, I came to see that something quite different happens on the rock.Like wild swimming, rock climbing involves you into the landscape. On the rock, I am fully present. Eyes pay close attention, ears are alert (警觉的), and hands move across the surface. Unlike walking, where I could happily wander about absent­mindedly, in climbing, attentive observation is essential.As an arts student studying English literature, I discovered a new type of reading from outdoor climbing. Going out on to the crags (悬崖), I saw how you could learn to read the rocks and develop a vocabulary of physical movements. Good climbers knew how to map their bodies on to the stone. Watching them, I wanted to possess that skillful language.My leap happened when I worked for the Cairngorms National Park Authority. Guiding my explorations into this strange new landscape was Nan Shepherd, a lady too. Unlike the goal­directed mindset of many mountaineers, she is not concerned with peaks or personal beats. Shepherd sees the mountain as a total environment and she celebrates the Caingorms as a place alive with plants, rocks, animals and elements. Through her generous spirit and my own wanderings, I saw that rock climbing need not be a process of testing oneself against anything. Rather, the intensity of focus could release a person into another way of being.Spending so much time in high and stony places has changed my view on the world and our place in it. I have come into physical contact with processes that go way beyond the everyday. Working with gravity, geology (地质学), rhythms of weather and deep time, I gain an actual relationship with the earth. This connection lies at the heart of my passion for rock climbing. I return to the rocks, because this is where I feel in touch with our land.4．Why does the author like rock climbing?A．It challenges her to compete with men.B．It allows her a unique attitude toward rock.C.It teaches her how to possess a new language.D.It makes her feel connected with the world.5．What does the writer find important in climbing?A.Balance.    B．Concentration.C．Determination.    D．Curiosity.6．What does the writer learn from Nan Shepherd?A.Climbing goes together with nature.B．Every mountain top is within reach.C．The best climber is the one having fun.D．You cannot achieve high unless you change.7．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refer to?A．Time.    B．Contact.C．The world.    D．My view.C[2022·东北三省四市教研联合体高考模拟试卷]What sort of scenery do you find most appealing? Researchers in the U．K. asked volunteers that question, doing an online photo­rating game, and the result is what you'd expect. “Beautiful mountains, enough greenery, beautiful water features like lakes and oceans，” says Chanuki Seresinhe, a data scientist at the Warwick Business School. The more surprising finding was that human­built structures, towers and cottages, could enhance the understanding of the beauty of a scene. And big expanses of green grass like athletic fields didn't actually rate that highly.What they did next is where the data science comes in: They fed a computer 160, 000 photographs rated through the online game. And they taught the machine to break each image into the scenic elements it contained, snowy mountains, waterfalls, crosswalks and construction sites.Then they presented the computer with a challenge: They asked it to rate the scenic beauty of other photos it had never seen before. And it actually did pretty well at estimating the average crowd­sourced consensus(共识) of beauty. The study is in the journal Royal Society Open Science.Smart as it is, the scenery­loving computer probably won't be putting tour guides out of business. “Actually I think it can help tour guides, because what's interesting is that I think maybe it can actually uncover places that might not have been that popular.” And Seresinhe says the system might also help city planners more objectively evaluate the scenic beauty of new urban developments. “We can also now look at how to design cities that people find more beautiful and which people might want to actually spend more time in.” If the computer doesn't become truly intelligent, humans may express subjective opinions entirely on their own.  8．What surprised you more in the game?A．Athletic fields were popular.B．Human­built structures rated highly.C．Natural landscapes were appealing.D．The views of scene beauty varied among volunteers.9．What's the attitude of the writer towards computers?A．Approving.    B．Subjective.C．Sceptical.    D．Negative.10．How does the writer develop the text?A．By providing examples.B．By analyzing results.C．By comparing findings.D．By asking questions.11．Who can benefit a lot from the findings in the text?A．City planners.B．Computer programmers.C．Newspaper editors.D．Insurance agents.DIndian stepwells(阶梯井) are nothing new, having provided access to fresh water for years before they were abandoned. And while they are a part of Indian cultural heritage, they lost their purpose for some time. As the extreme droughts are rocking India, these ancient stepwells are restored for what they do best—providing water.Shaped like an upside­down pyramid(金字塔) digging into the ground and lined by thousands of steps, stepwells can collect rainwater. They are wonderfully efficient at providing water for nearly 1，500 years. Sadly, over 3，000 stepwells have either been abandoned or left to rot, with some even covered by garbage. Now, thanks to the restoration programme, stepwells will come full circle.Since the restoration process began, at least 15 wells have been restored in the city of Delhi. The cost will be around $ 60，000, but by doing so, the water supply for the city could reach an additional 33，000 gallons. Rajkumar Sharma, a local citizen，said，“I was elated at the reuse of the stepwells. The stepwell in our village was the only source of water. With time going by, it dried up and changed into a place for rubbish. We now have access to clean water for drinking and other purposes.”Historian Rana Safvi explained，“Costly and painstaking as this program is, repairing these traditional stepwells to their former glory provides water for many. But apart from that, it also spotlights the beautiful architecture features of ancient India. This helps attract tourists and can also be used in religious ceremonies.”She added，“These stepwell restorations not only help India reduce the impact of droughts, but also are promise of a better future for India overall.”12．Why are the stepwells in India restored?A．They have a new purpose.B．They are cultural heritage.C．They can ease water shortage.D．They are in poor condition.13．What does the underlined word “elated” Paragraph 3 mean?A．Encouraged.    B．Shocked.C．Impressed.    D．Thrilled.14．What's Rana Safvi's attitude to the program?A.Cautious.    B．Favorable.C．Tolerant.    D．Uncaring.15．What does this text mainly talk about?A．Stepwells are brought back to life.B．Stepwells make India more attractive.C．Stepwells offer a new solution to droughts.D.Stepwells provide convenience for Indians.[答题区]题号12345678答案        题号9101112131415 答案        第二节　(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。It seems like some people are born with a good sense of direction while others are always getting lost.__16__ You can improve your sense of direction. You just need to work at it. Nowadays, of course, it's convenient to rely on GPS rather than commit a long, complex route to memory.__17__ Studying a larger map and remembering the route before you set out does have its benefits. The amount of mental energy it requires means it's more likely to stick in your mind. Looking at digital maps on a big screen or even studying a paper map also allows you to get a sense of the all­important bigger picture and how places fit together.__18__ It's also important to notice what's around you in all directions. Instead of staring straight  ahead, make sure you look up, down and behind you as well. This will be particularly useful when you're doing the journey in reverse(反向)—even if it's just finding your way back from the toilet in a restaurant. Another tip? Taking photographs or writing notes at key locations can help you keep them in your memory.Finally, try to relax when you're on unfamiliar ground. __19__ But this sudden anxiety will only prevent you from calmly working out which way to go. Besides, getting lost is one of the best ways to discover  new places and add more details to that ever­growing mental map, both of which will help you have a better sense of direction in the long term.Your sense of direction is a use­it­or­lose­it skill. If you only stick to the routes you already know, it's never going to get any better.__20__A．Don't just look where you're going.B．So now it's time to start exploring!C．If you're one of the “lost” ones, don't worry.D.Anxiety plays a role in our sense of direction, too.E．It's all too easy to get anxious if you suspect you may be lost.F．Developing a good sense of direction usually takes much practice.G．But ignore it if you really want to improve your sense of direction.[答题区]16．________　17.________　18.________19．________　20.________   40分阅读理解提分练（三）阅读理解第一节A语篇类型：应用文　主题语境：人与社会——文化与旅行——在米兰购物的几个好去处【文章大意】　文章主要介绍了米兰四个购物场所的情况。1．答案与解析：B　细节理解题。根据Corso Vercelli部分中的“where local people in Milan go shopping”“The roots of this avenue date back to the late 19th century”“The historic tram crossing the area gives it a unique atmosphere”可知，对米兰当地生活和历史感兴趣的人会对参观Corso Vercelli最感兴趣，故B项正确。2．答案与解析：B　细节理解题。根据关于四个地方的介绍中的Opening times尤其是Sempione Area部分中的“Opening times: Most shops between 9：30 and 19：30 or 20：30”可知，Sempione Area的购物持续时长为10到11个小时，这比其他几个地方的时间都长，故B项正确。3．答案与解析：C　主旨大意题。综观全文，尤其是第一段中的“the best fashion destinations in Milan”可知，本文主要讲述了在米兰购物的几个好去处，故C项正确。B语篇类型：夹叙夹议文　主题语境：人与自我——生活与学习——攀岩【文章大意】　作者喜欢攀岩，文章讲述了作者对攀岩的理解及从攀岩中得到的感悟：攀岩与其他运动的不同之处、将娴熟的攀岩动作视为语言并想拥有它以及攀岩影响了作者的人生态度。4．答案与解析：D　细节理解题。根据最后一段第三、四句可知，通过研究重力、地质学、天气节奏和时间，作者得知了与地球的真实关系。这种联系正是作者对攀岩的热爱所在。由此可知，作者喜欢攀岩是因为攀岩可以与世界产生联系。5．答案与解析：B　细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句中的“in climbing，attentive observation is essential”可知，在攀岩的过程中，集中注意力观察周围的情况是极其重要的，故选B。6．答案与解析：A　推理判断题。根据第四段后四句可知，这位攀岩者并不像其他登山者一样以目标为导向，反而将山视为一个整体的自然环境，她把这个地方视为植物、岩石、动物和其他元素的集合体，这点启发了作者，作者从Shepherd身上学到攀岩不是考验自己的过程，而是让自己与大自然融为一体。7．答案与解析：C　代词猜测题。根据最后一段首句可知，在高处多石的地方待了这么长时间，改变了作者对世界和我们在其中的地位的看法。由此可知，此处指作者通过攀岩改变了对世界和自身在世界中的地位的看法，it指代前文的“世界”。C语篇类型：说明文　主题语境：人与社会——科学与技术——用电脑对风景进行评价并分级【文章大意】　将图片信息储存进电脑，让电脑对风景分析评价，以帮助城市规划者更客观地评估新城市发展的风景美。8．答案与解析：B　细节理解题。根据第一段的“The more surprising...rate that highly”可知，更令人惊讶的发现是，人类建造的建筑、塔楼和小屋可以增进人们对风景之美的理解；而像运动场这样有大片的绿色草地的地方实际上并没有得到很高的评价。据此可知，人们对人造建筑评价很高。9．答案与解析：A　观点态度题。根据第三段的“And it actually...consensus（共识）of beauty”可知，作者认为，事实上电脑在评估大众对美的一般共识方面做得很好。据此可以推知，作者对电脑分析持赞同态度。10．答案与解析：B　推理判断题。通读第二、三段可知，为了证明第一段提出的人们对人造建筑评价很高这个观点，研究人员在电脑中储存了16万张照片，通过在线游戏进行评分，结果证明，电脑在评估大众对美的一般共识方面做得很好。据此可以推知，作者使用了分析结果的方法来谋篇布局。11．答案与解析：A　推理判断题。根据最后一段的“And Seresinhe says...urban developments”可知，电脑风景评价系统还可能帮助城市规划者更客观地评估新城市发展的风景美。据此可以推知，城市规划者可以从此发现中获益。D语篇类型：说明文　主题语境：人与社会——文化与传承——印度的“阶梯井”【文章大意】　由于印度干旱，已经被废弃多年的“阶梯井”被重新修复使用，这不但解决了人们的饮水问题，也预示着整个印度的美好未来。12．答案与解析：C　细节理解题。根据第一段尾句“As the extreme droughts...providing water”可知，为了缓解干旱导致的水资源短缺，印度修复了阶梯井。13．答案与解析：D　词义猜测题。根据画线词下句“The stepwell in...source of water”可知，阶梯井是村里唯一的水源；根据该段尾句“We now have access...other purposes”可知，在修复阶梯井后，现在他们有了干净的饮用水和其他用途的水。据此可知，当地居民Sharma对此非常激动。故画线词与D项意思最接近。14．答案与解析：B　推理判断题。根据尾段历史学家Rana Safvi所说的话可知，修复阶梯井不仅提供了水源，还突出了古印度美丽的建筑特色，这有助于吸引游客，有助于印度减少干旱带来的影响。据此可以推知，该历史学家对修复阶梯井持赞同态度。15．答案与解析：A　主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章首段尾句“As the extreme...providing water”为全文的主旨句，结合下文内容可知，本文主要陈述了印度已经被废弃多年的“阶梯井”被重新修复使用的原因和其作用，故A项最能概括文意。第二节语篇类型：说明文　主题语境：人与自我——学习与生活——培养方向感的方法【文章大意】　文章主要介绍提高方向感的技巧。16．答案与解析：C　空前讲有些人天生就有方向感，而有些人总是迷失方向，C项“如果你是迷失方向的这类人中的一个，不要担心”承接上句，与空后的“你可以提高你的方向感”相连贯。17．答案与解析：G　空前讲利用GPS很方便，G项“但是如果你真想提高你的方向感的话，一定要忽略它”承接上句，G项中的it指代空前的GPS。18．答案与解析：A　根据空后的“It's also important to...down and behind you as well”可知，注意四面八方也很重要，不要只往前看，也要看四周。由此可推知，本段讲述培养方向感时，不要只关注自己的目的地，故A项能概括本段内容。19．答案与解析：E　空前讲到你到不熟悉的地方时，要尽力放松，E项“你如果怀疑自己可能迷路了，就很容易焦虑”承接上句，与空后的“这种突然的焦虑只会阻止你冷静地判断出该走哪一条路”连接紧密。20．答案与解析：B　空前讲到你的方向感是一种要么使用要么就会失去的技能，如果你坚持走你熟知的道路，那么你的方向感绝不会变得更好，B项“所以现在是时候开始探索了”承接上句，是对空前内容的总结。
