Ⅰ.阅读理解
Regardless of the fact that getting dressed in baseball caps and Tshirts are classic American style choices; the preppy(学院风格) look is what sophisticated(高雅时髦的) British youths wear. But when it comes to the bestdressed nation, neither the US nor the UK tops CNN's list. So which country has the best fashion sense? Take a look.
Italy
Italy is a country which lays a strong emphasis on outward appearance. Elegance is in Italian blood and most Italians would give up comfort in order to look graceful. They dress well even for simple trips to the grocery store.
Both males and females have a good understanding of style, dressing themselves up with wellgroomed(讲究的) hair and a smart pair of shoes. It is no wonder that so many of the best fashion designers are Italian!
Sweden
Retail(零售)giant H&M continues to spread affordable Swedish style around the world. What has been called the “Swedish fashion miracle” actually comes from the “less is more” philosophy. The Swedes tend to adopt a practical approach to what they wear, but they don't lack creativity.
France
The French have a chic(别致的) air about them. They appear casual and elegant without being overdressed or underdressed, and always seem to give off confidence in their style choices. “The laissezfaire(自由放任的) approach to fashion is something many people love—and the looks they wear are something we all want to emulate on a daily basis，” said The Huffington Post.

1．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?
A．Getting dressed sophisticatedly is American style.
B．Wearing Tshirts is British style.
C．British young people like the preppy style.
D．The UK is the bestdressed country in the world.
答案：C
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段第一句中的“getting dressed in baseball caps and Tshirts are classic American style choices”可知，美国的穿衣风格是戴棒球帽，穿T恤衫，所以A项不正确；根据第一段第一句中的“the preppy(学院风格)look is what sophisticated(高雅时髦的)British youths wear”可知，英国年轻人喜欢学院风格，穿T恤衫不是他们的风格，所以B项不正确，C项正确；根据第一段第二句“But when it comes to the bestdressed nation, neither the US nor the UK tops CNN's list.”可知，英国并不是世界上着装最佳的国家，所以D项不正确。故答案选C。
2．What can we learn from Swedish dressing style?
A．It is practical and creative. B．It is unaffordable.
C．It lacks confidence. D．It lacks creativity.
答案：A
解析：细节理解题。根据Sweden部分中的最后一句“The Swedes tend to adopt a practical approach to what they wear, but they don't lack creativity.”可知，瑞士人的穿衣风格是实用且有创造性的。故答案选A。
3．What's the meaning of the underlined word “emulate” in the last Paragraph?
A．Imitate. B．Thrill. C．Like. D．Hate.
答案：A
解析：词义猜测题。imitate意为“模仿”；thrill意为“使激动”；like意为“喜欢”；hate意为“讨厌”。根据本句中的“The laissezfaire(自由放任的) approach to fashion is something many people love”可知，很多人都喜爱这种自由放任的时尚风格，故法国人的穿衣风格是我们都想模仿的。故画线词emulate与imitate同义。故答案选A。
