As time went by, people forgot his real name. Later, when Rockefeller, the board chairman of the oil company, heard of it, he was very surprised, so he invited Albert to come to his office. 鈥淪ome people give you a nickname for 鈥楩our dollars a bucket鈥?

Suriname D. CanadaC In the United States and several other countries, 2.5 million children play baseball in an organization called Little League. They play on teams in their hometowns. Their parents and other adults in the community coach or instruct them and serve as umpires to make sure that everyone follows the rules. Local businesses give money for the ball fields and the uniforms. Local teams compete against each other and the winners get to play teams that are more distant. Eventually, the top teams go to the Little League World Series. One hundred years after Abner Doubleday invented baseball in Cooperstown, New York, in 1839, Little League got started in Pennsylvania. Three men started the game for neighborhood boys with a smaller playing field andfewer innings than adult baseball. Little League became popular after World War 鈪?when the game spread across the United States. By 1955 it was played throughout North America and within five years it had spread to Europe. Children's baseball really caught on in Japan and Taiwan of China and teams from those areas won the World Series seven out of eight years. After this, the organization tried banning foreign teams from the World Series, but the ban came to an end after one year. At first, Little League was only for boys aged nine to twelve. However, in 1974, the parents of girl baseball players brought a law suit. The courts ruled that Little League had to include both boys and girls. Later Little League added on softball and other games for teenagers up to age eighteen. Occasionally, a Little Leaguer becomes a professional player. For example, Gary Carter went from Little League to play nineteen seasons in the Majo r Leagues, ten of them as an All锛峉tar player. By and large, youngsters play baseball for fun, but their parents are proud of them. 28锛嶵he mothers and fathers of Little League players ________锛?A锛巔lay in the World Series B锛巘ravel with coaches C锛巊ive the teams money D锛巋elp run the games 29锛嶪n what year did baseball come into being?

D Have you ever received a gift that was so dearly, not your taste that you wondered if perhaps it had been handed to you by mistake? Worse, have you ever given a present and watched your friend look as though she had opened the wrong box? Maybe she responded with a polite "Why, thank you," but you knew you had missed the mark. Why do presents sometimes go wrong? And what do your choices (good and bad) reflect about your personalqualities? Choosing the right gift is an art, I believe. It calls for empathy -- the abilityto put yourself into someone else's head and heart. We're all able to do this; in fact, we're born with a kind of natural empathy. After the earliest period of childhood, however, it needs to be reinforced (鍔犲己)--by our parents, teachers, frien ds. When it isn't, we're not able to understand other people's feelings as sharply. This can show in the gifts we select, and so can many other emotional (鎯呮劅鐨? qualities. Think back to the presents you鈥檝e given over the past year, the time and effort you put into your selection, how much you spent, your thoughts while you were shopping, and your feelings when the receiver opened the package. Keep in mind that what you choose displays your inner world. (Of course, you may express yourself differently with different friends, relatives, and other people you know. We live in a society where exchanging presents is an important part of communication. Ignoring the tradition won't make it go away. If you really dislike such a tradition, tell your friends ahead of time. 32. The underlined expression "you had missed the mark" means "you had failed to _____. A. make her feel better B. keep your friendship C. get the expected effect D. receive a present in return 33. Which of the following is the main idea of the second paragraph? A. Natural empathy needs to be reinforced. B. Emotional changes influence one's choice of gifts. C. Selecting the right gift is an ability people are born with. D. Choosing gifts requires one to understand the receivers. 34. In the third paragraph, the author tells us that________. A. the choice of gifts reflects one's emotional qualities B. one learns from what he did in the past C. attention should be paid to the receivers' responses D. one should spend more time choosing gifts 35. The best possible title for this passage is 鈥淿______鈥?A. Ways of Choosing GiftsB. An Important TraditionC. Exchanging PresentsD.

哈尔滨市第六中学2017届高二10月月考英语试题第一部分：阅读理解 (共两节，40分)第一节：（共15小题，每题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AMy name is Chelsea Chowderhead. A chowder is a kind of soup. I was laughed at because of my last name as soon as I started school. So when my family moved to South Carolina, I asked my dad if I could change my name.“You shouldn’t change who you are. Let people get to know you first and your name later. When you meet someone new, ask them a good question, something you’re really interested i n. Once people start talking about themselves, they don’t judge you.”Two days later I headed to my new school for the first day of class. At lunch, I noticed that there were twin brothers who were talking to each other. I remembered my dad’s advice, s o I decided to try.I noticed that their lunchboxes were identical. “What’s it like being a twin?”I asked.They looked surprised. Then one said, “No one has ever asked us that!”“Most of the time it’s good,” the other said. “When you’re a twin you always have someone to talk to and have lunch with.”In no time we were laughing and talking. Then one of the brothers said, “I’m Nicholas, and this is my brother, Nathaniel. What’s your name?”I took a deep breath and said, “I’m Chelsea Chowderhead.”“Chowder? Like the soup?” asked Nathaniel.“Yes,” I replied, looking down.“Hey, cool! Do you want to come over after school and play basketball with us?” Nathaniel asked. I nodded. And that is how I became friends with the twin brothers.1. Why did the writer want to change his name?A．People made fun of it.B．He wanted to make more friends.C．It was hard to remember.D．He wanted to be cool in the new school.2. The underlined word “identical” in Paragraph 4 probably means _____________.A．big B．beautiful C．same D．full3. When the twin brothers asked his name, the writer felt ________________.A．surprised B．nervous C．angry D．proud4. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．At last the writer changed his name.B．The twins said hello to the writer first.C．The twins also didn’t like the writer’s name.D．One can order a chowder in some restaurants.BHaving a great collection of books at home doesn’t really mean that you are a person who has a passion for literature and reading. It can be a family inheritance （继承） or it can be just to impress people around you about the fact that you are a person of culture. On the other hand, there are many persons who cannot afford to buy books, because some of them are quite expensive, but they usually go to libraries and spend hours reading something that interests them a lot, or just borrow books to read at home.From my point of view, literature is very important in our lives from several points of view. For example, reading is a means of gaining culture and enriching our knowledge in different areas of activities. It can help us have a great imagination and it makes things easier when it comes to making compositions on different themes. It gives you the possibility to speak about science, even if you don’t work in this field, or you can express your opinion about a political aspect, just because you have read something connected to that.Secondly, literature offers us the possibility to enter the world of imagination, and to leave apart the real one for a couple of hours. We come to meet kings and queens many years ago, dream in the world of the rich or imagine how life will be in the future. Sometimes, we identify ourselves with the characters in the stories we read and they can give us some clues to solve our problems and how to react in certain circumstances.To conclude, I would like to say that literature is the perfect means to enrich our culture, to express correctly and have a rich vocabulary, to be able to interfere （干涉） in conversations in different fields of interest and to really be considered an erudite person.5. The people who are fond of literature are those that _________.A. go to libraries on weekendsB. have much interest in readingC. keep many books in their studiesD. buy expensive books in the bookstore6. We can learn from the third paragraph that _________.A. we can bring kings and queens back to lifeB. it is very good for us to stay alone for some hoursC. what we read can be useful in our daily lifeD. we can make friends with the people in the stories7. The underlined word “erudite” in the last paragraph probably means_________.A. learnedB. enthusiasticC. hard-workingD. creative8. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage？A. To tell readers how to read a book.B. To explain the true meaning of reading.C. To advise readers to like reading.D. To tell readers who has the real passion for literature.CAs Internet users become more dependent on the Internet to store information,are people remembering less? If you know your computer will save information, why store it in your own personal memory, your brain? Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how.In a recent study, Professor Betsy Sparrow conducted some experiments. She and her research team wanted to know the Internet is changing memory. In the first experiment, they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type into a computer. The first group of people understood that the computer would save the information. The second group understood that the computer would not save it. Later, the second group remembered the information better. People in the first group knew they could find the information again, so they did not try to remember it.In another experiment, the researchers gave people facts to remember, and told them where to find the information on the Internet. The information was in a specific computer folder (文件夹). Surprisingly, people later remember the folder location (位置) better than the facts. When people use the Internet, they do not remember the information. Rather, they remember how to find it. This is called "transactive memory (交互记忆)"According to Sparrow, we are not becoming people with poor memories as a result of the Internet. Instead, computer users are developing stronger transactive memories; that is, people are learning how to organize huge quantities of information so that they are able to access it at a later date. This doesn't mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent, but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing.9. The passage begins with two questions to ______.A. introduce the main topicB. show the author's altitudeC. describe how to use the Internet.D. explain how to store information10. What can we learn about the first experiment?A. Sparrow's team typed the information into a computer.B. The two groups remembered the information equally well.C. The first group did not try to remember the formation.D. The second group did not understand the information.11. In transactive memory, people ______.A. keep the information in mindB. change the quantity of informationC. organize information like a computerD. remember how to find the information12. What is the effect of the Internet according to Sparrow's research?A. We are using memory differently.B. We are becoming more intelligent.C. We have poorer memories than before.D. We need a better way to access information.DItaly is widely considered to be a paradise for shopping. You can find almost all the world’s first-class brands there at reasonable prices.Some excellent purchase options are: clothes for men and women，jewellery，lacework，leather goods，ceramics(陶制品)，gold and silver items.And here’s something you should never forget: Foreign tourists acquiring things in Italy can claim a sales tax rebate(回扣),provided that they spend more than 155 Euros(about 1550 yuan)at the same store on the same day. The 10 percent refund(退款)makes the prices more competitive and attractive to lots of customers.Besides this，there are some stores that offer high fashion goods at much lower prices. Italy’s fashion houses do not advertise these stores，some refuse to admit that they exist，but once you know where they are you need never pay high street prices again.Around the centre，Milan，there are quieter towns and suburbs with outlets offering huge discounts(打折)on top brand clothes and accessories.The fashion houses go around conventional retailers(零售商)to sell directly to the public. That gets rid of mark-ups that can account for half the price.But to avoid a reaction from the retailers they tend to keep it quiet ---so quiet that many fashion insiders are ignorant(不知道的)of the bargains on their doorstep. Much of the stock comes from seconds or showroom collections. Discounts of up to 70 percent are common. Most of the outlets are in the triangle between Turin，Milan and Florence. There you can get the best deals on Armani，Gucci and the other big names in fashion.To name just a few，there are Armani factory stores near Como，Dolce & Gabbano stores near Milan，Gucci factory stores near Florence，and Prada stores near Arezzo. When you travel in Italy，never forget to leave one day or two visiting the stores，there are lots of surprise.13 .If a foreign tourist pays 155 Euros for something in the same store in Italy onthe same day，he only needs to pay the store.A.139.5 eurosB.145 eurosC.140 eurosD.150 euros14.What does the underlined word “mark-ups” mean in the text?A. Marks on the fashion.B. Good marks for students who have made great efforts on their studies.C. Marks on top of the fashion-houses signs.D. To put a much higher price on something.15. Which of the following do you think is the best title for this passage?A. Italy--- the World’s Shopping CentreB. Going to a Paradise in ItalyC. Italy--- a Shoppers’ ParadiseD. Italy ---a Paradise for Business第二节 (共5小题, 每小题2分, 共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。

AI clearly remember the day when my little brother was born: January 1, 1994。

One of my favorite family photos shows me lying with my mother in the hospital bed, happy but unaware of the small，sleeping baby in the background.I stayed with my grandparents for the weekend of my brother’s birth, excited about my new brother but not yet aware of what having a little brother would mean. I didn’t truly realize what was going on until we were in the hospital room at Duke University-———coincidentally (碰巧地)，the same room in which I had been born two years earlier.When I looked at my brother for the first time, I felt a mixture of fear and interest. Little did I know thatsmall, pink creature would grow up to be one of my favorite people in the world.In reality, though I am two years older than my brother，I am more often than not the real baby in the family. I am very lacking when it comes to common sense。

ALast year my summer holiday was spoiled by my bringing along a modern convenience that was too convenient for my own good: the iPad. Instead of looking at nature, I checked my e-mail. Instead of paddling a small boat, I followed my Twitter feed（推特简讯）. Instead of reading great novels, I stuck to reading four newspapers each morning. I was behaving as if I were still in the offi ce. My body was on vacation, but my head wasn’t.So this year I made up my mind to try something different: withdrawal from the Internet. I knew it wouldn’t be easy, since I’m bad at self-control. But I was determined. I started by giving the iPad to my wife.The cellphone signal at our house was worse than in the past, making my attempts at cheating an experience in frustration . I was trapped, forced to go through with my plan. Largely breaking away from e-mail, Twitter and my favorite newspaper websites, I had few ways to connect to the world except for the radio—and how much radio can one listen to, really? I had to do what I had planned to do all along: read books.This experience has had a happy ending. With determination and the strong support of my wife, I won in my vacation struggle against the Internet, realizing finally that it was I, not the iPad, that was the problem. I knew I had won when we passed a Starbucks and my wife asked if I wanted to stop to use the Wi-Fi. “I don’t need it,” I said.However, as we return to post-vacation life, a harder test begins: Can I continue when I’m back at work?There are times when the need to know what’s being said right now is great. I have no intention of giving up my convenience completely. But I hope to resist the temptation to check my e-mail every five minutes, which leads to checking my Twitter feed and a website or two.I think a vacation is supposed to help you rest your brain to become more productive. Here I hope this one worked.1. What do we know about the author’s last summer vacation?A. He was determined to enjoy the beautiful view.B. His iPad ruined his plan of finishing a great novel.C.

The route takes in peaks and forests, including a stop at the foot of 20,320-foot-high Mount McKinley, North America’s tallest mountain. Though the train has comfortable seating and a luxurious dining car, nights are spent at off-train lodging like the Grande Denali Lodge and Hotel Alyeska in Girdwood.India Tour, Maharajas’ ExpressMaharajas’ Express is the most luxurious train in the world. Started in 2010, and limited to 88 passengers on each trip, the train features luxurious private suites with marble baths and panoramic（全景）windows. On the five-day, four-night trip, which starts and ends in Delhi, passengers make stops to visit the splendid Taj Mahal at Agra, take a tiger safari at Ranthambore National Park, and shop and watch an elephant-polo match in Jaipur.Tales of Laos Tour, Eastern & Oriental ExpressThe sister train to Europe’s Venice Simplon Orient-Express, the Eastern & Oriental Express offers the same level of service and comfort. What’s completely different about the Eastern, of course, is the scenery that passengers can see through the train’s large windows. Among the attractive sights on the four-day, three-night Tales of Laos Tour are green rice paddies（水稻梯田）and locals riding elephants.Cuzco to Machu Picchu Route, Hiram BinghamThe Hiram Bingham, a train operating in Peru, leads guests on a magical day trip from Cuzco to the ruins of Machu Picchu. During the three-hour trip — which covers about 50 miles — the train winds through the thick jungle, alongside the rapids of the Urubamba River and across two high mountains.

There has been 40 years of sex ual equality, but there is another 40 years probably to come.”Women, who a generation ago spent nearly two hours a day cooking, now spend just one hour and seven minutes—a great fall, but they still spend far more time in the kitchen than men.Some expert s have named these men in aprons as “Gastrosexuals (men using cooking skills to impress friends)”, who have been inspired to pick up a kitchen knife by the success of Ramsay, Oliver as well as other male celebrity chefs such as Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, Marco Pierre White and Keith Floyd.“I was married in 1974. When my father came to visit me a few weeks later, I was wearing an apron when I opened the door. He laughed,” said Prof. Gershuny. “That would never happen now.”Two-thirds of adults say that they come together to share at least three times a week, even if it is not necessarily around a kitchen or dining room table. Prof. Gershuny pointed out that the family meal was now rarely eaten by all of its members around a table—with many “family meals” in fact taken on the sofa in the sitting room, and shared by family members. “The family meal has changed a lot, and few of us eat—as I did when I was a child—at least two meals a day together asa family. But it has survived in a different format.”8. What is one reason behind the trend that men spend more time cooking than before?A. The development of sexual equality campaign.B. The influence of popular female chefs.C. The change of female’s view on cooking.D. The improvement of cooks’ st atus.9. What does the author think about the time men and women spend on cooking?A. Men spend more time cooking than women nowadays.B. It will take 40 years before men spend more time at the stove than women.C. Women spend much less time on cooking than before.D. There is a sharp decline in the time men spend on cooking compared with 1961.10. How did Prof. Gershuny see the family meal according to the passage?A. It has become a thing of the past.B. It shouldn’t be advocated in modern times.C. It is very different from what it used to be.D. It is beneficial to the stability of the family.11. Which is the best title for the passage?A. The Changes of Family Meals.B. Equality between Men and Women.C. Cooking—a Thing of the Past for Women.D. Cooking into a New Trend for Men.DSome years ago, writing in my diary used to be a usual activity. I would return from school and spend the expected half hour recording the day's events, feelings, and impressions in my little blue diary. I did not really need to express my emotions by way of words, but I gained a certain satisfaction from seeing my experiences forever recorded on paper. After all, isn't accumulating memories a way of preserving the past?When I was thirteen years old, I went on a long journey on foot in a great valley, well equipped with pens, a diary, and a camera. During the trip, I was busy recording every incident, name and place I came across. I felt proud to be spending my time productively, dutifully preserving for future generations a detailed description of my travels. On my last night there, I wandered out of my tent, diary in hand. The sky was clear and lit by the glare of the moon, and the walls of the valley looked threatening behind their screen of shadows. I automatically took out my pen...At that point, I understood that nothing I wrote could ever match or replace the few seconds I allowed myself to experience the dramatic beauty of the valley. All I remembered of the previous few days were the dull characterizations I had set down in my diary.Now, I only write in my diary when I need to write down a special thought or feeling. I still love to record ideas and quotations that strike me in books, or observations that are particularly meaningful. I take pictures, but not very often only of objects I find really beautiful. I'm no longer blindly satisfied with having something to remember when I grow old. I realize that life will simply pass me by if I stay behind the camera, busy preserving the present so as to live it in the future.I don't want to wake up one day and have nothing but a pile of pictures and notes. Maybe I won't have as many exact representations of people and places; maybe I'll forget certain facts, but at least the experiences will always remain inside me. I don't live to make memories--I just live, and the memories form themselves.12. Before the age of thirteen, the author regarded keeping a diary as a way of ________.A. observing her school routineB. expressing her satisfactionC. impressing her classmatesD. preserving her history13. What caused a change in the author's understanding of keeping a diary?A. A dull night on the journey.B. The beauty of the great valley.C. A striking quotation from a book.D. Her concerns for future generations.14. What does the author put in her diary now?A. Notes and beautiful pictures.B. Special thoughts and feelings.C. Detailed accounts of daily activities.D. Descriptions of unforgettable events.15. The author comes to realize that to live a meaningful life is ________.A. to experience itB. to live the present in the futureC. to make memoriesD. to give accurate representations of it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。

AMy name is Chelsea Chowderhead. A chowder is a kind of soup. I was laughed at because of my last name as soon as I started school. So when my family moved to South Carolina, I asked my dad if I could change my name.“You shouldn’t change who you are. L et people get to know you first and your name later. When you meet someone new, ask them a good question, something you’re really interested in. Once people start talking about themselves, they don’t judge you.”Two days later I headed to my new school for the first day of class. At lunch, I noticed that there were twin brothers who were talking to each other. I remembered my dad’s advice, so I decided to try.I noticed that their lunchboxes were identical. “What’s it like being a twin?” I asked.They looked surprised. Then one said, “No one has ever asked us that!”“Most of the time it’s good,” the other said. “When you’re a twin you always have someone to talk to and have lunch with.”In no time we were laughing and talking. Then one of the brothers said, “I’m Nicholas, and this is my brother, Nathaniel. What’s your name?”I took a deep breath and said, “I’m Chelsea Chowderhead.”“Chowder? Like the soup?” asked Nathaniel.“Yes,” I replied, looking down.“Hey, cool! Do you want to come over after school and play basketball with us?” Nathaniel asked. I nodded. And that is how I became friends with the twin brothers.1. Why did the writer want to change his name?A．People made fun of it.B．He wanted to make more friends.C．It was hard to remember.D．He wanted to be cool in the new school.2. The underlined word “identical” in Paragraph 4 probably means _____________.A．big B．beautiful C．same D．full3. When the twin brothers asked his name, the writer felt ________________.A．surprised B．nervous C．angry D．proud4. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．At last the writer changed his name.B．The twins said hello to the writer first.C．The twins also didn’t like the writer’s name.D．One can order a chowder in some restaurants.BHaving a great collection of books at home doesn’t really mean that you are a person who has a passion for literature and reading. It can be a family inheritance（继承）or it can be just to impress people around you about the fact that you are a person of culture. On the other hand, there are many persons who cannot afford to buy books, because some of them are quite expensive, but they usually go to libraries and spend hours reading something that interests them a lot, or just borrow books to read at home.From my point of view, literature is very important in our lives from several points of view. For example, reading is a means of gaining culture and enriching our knowledge in different areas of activities. It can help us have a great imagination and it makes things easier when it comes to making compositions on different themes. It gives you the possibility to speak about science, even if you don’t work in this field, or you can express your opinion about a political aspect, just because you have read something connected to that.Secondly, literature offers us the possibility to enter the world of imagination, and to leave apart the real one for a couple of hours. We come to meet kings and queens many years ago, dream in the world of the rich or imagine how life will be in the future. Sometimes, we identify ourselves with the characters in the stories we read and they can give us some clues to solve our problems and how to react in certain circumstances.To conclude, I would like to say that literature is the perfect means to enrich our culture, toexpress correctly and have a rich vocabulary, to be able to interfere（干涉）in conversations in different fields of interest and to really be considered an erudite person.5. The people who are fond of literature are those that _________.A. go to libraries on weekendsB. have much interest in readingC. keep many books in their studiesD. buy expensive books in the bookstore6. We can learn from the third paragraph that _________.A. we can bring kings and queens back to lifeB. it is very good for us to stay alone for some hoursC. what we read can be useful in our daily lifeD. we can make friends with the people in the stories7. The underlined word “erudite” in the last paragraph probably means_________.A. learnedB. enthusiasticC. hard-workingD. creative8. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage？A. To tell readers how to read a book.B. To explain the true meaning of reading.C. To advise readers to like reading.D. To tell readers who has the real passion for literature.CAs Internet users become more dependent on the Internet to store information, are people remembering less? If you know your computer will save information, why store it in your own personal memory, your brain? Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how.In a recent study, Professor Betsy Sparrow conducted some experiments. She and her research team wanted to know the Internet is changing memory. In the first experiment, they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type into a computer. The first group of people understood that the computer would save the information. The second group understood that the computer would not save it. Later, the second group remembered the information better. People in the first group knew they could find the information again, so they did not try to remember it.In another experiment, the researchers gave people facts to remember, and told them where to find the information on the Internet. The information was in a specific computer folder (文件夹). Surprisingly, people later remember the folder location (位置) better than the facts. When people use the Internet, they do not remember the information. Rather, they remember how to find it. This is called "transactive memory (交互记忆)"According to Sparrow, we are not becoming people with poor memories as a result of the Internet. Instead, computer users are developing stronger transactive memories; that is, people are learning how to organize huge quantities of information so that they are able to access it at a later date. This doesn't mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent, but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing.9. The passage begins with two questions to ______.A. introduce the main topicB. show the author's altitudeC. describe how to use the Internet.D. explain how to store information10. What can we learn about the first experiment?A. Sparrow's team typed the information into a computer.B. The two groups remembered the information equally well.C. The first group did not try to remember the formation.D. The second group did not understand the information.11. In transactive memory, people ______.A. keep the information in mindB. change the quantity of informationC. organize information like a computerD. remember how to find the information12. What is the effect of the Internet according to Sparrow's research?A. We are using memory differently.B. We are becoming more intelligent.C. We have poorer memories than before.D. We need a better way to access information.DItaly is widely considered to be a paradise for shopping. You can find almost all the world’s first-class brands there at reasonable prices.Some excellent purchase options are: clothes for men and women，jewellery，lacework，leather goods，ceramics(陶制品)，gold and silver items.And here’s something you should never forget: Foreign tourists acquiring things in Italy can claim a sales tax rebate(回扣),provided that they spend more than 155 Euros(about 1550 yuan)at the same store on the same day. The 10 percent refund(退款)makes the prices more competitive and attractive to lots of customers.Besides this，there are some stores that offer high fashion goods at much lower prices. Italy’s fashion houses do not advertise these stores，some refuse to admit that they exist，but once you know where they are you need never pay high street prices again.Around the centre，Milan，there are quieter towns and suburbs with outlets offering huge discounts(打折)on top brand clothes and accessories.The fashion houses go around conventional retailers(零售商)to sell directly to the public. That gets rid of mark-ups that can account for half the price.But to avoid a reaction from the retailers they tend to keep it quiet ---so quiet that many fashion insiders are ignorant(不知道的)of the bargains on their doorstep. Much of the stock comes from seconds or showroom collections. Discounts of up to 70 percent are common. Most of the outlets are in the triangle between Turin，Milan and Florence. There you can get the best deals on Armani，Gucci and the other big names in fashion.To name just a few，there are Armani factory stores near Como，Dolce & Gabbano stores near Milan，Gucci factory stores near Florence，and Prada stores near Arezzo. When you travel in Italy，never forget to leave one day or two visiting the stores，there are lots of surprise.13 .If a foreign tourist pays 155 Euros for something in the same store in Italy on the same day，heonly needs to pay the store.A.139.5 eurosB.145 eurosC.140 eurosD.150 euros14.What does the underlined word “mark-ups” mean in the text?A. Marks on the fashion.B. Good marks for students who have made great efforts on their studies.C. Marks on top of the fashion-houses signs.D. To put a much higher price on something.15. Which of the following do you think is the best title for this passage?A. Italy--- the World’s Shopping CentreB. Going to a Paradise in ItalyC. Italy--- a Shoppers’ ParadiseD. Italy ---a Paradise for Business第二节(共5小题, 每小题2分, 共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。
