黑龙江省大庆铁人中学2015届高考模拟试题（四） 英语 2015.05
第一部分：阅读理解
阅读下列短文，从每篇短文后所给各题的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
While wearing T-shirts, jeans and a baseball cap 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 best-dressed 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 nation that values outward appearance. Elegance(高雅) is in Italian blood and most Italians would give up comfort in order to look graceful(优雅的). They dress well even for simple trips to the grocery store.
Both men and women have a good understanding of style, dressing themselves up with well-groomed(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(信条).
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 over-dressed or under-dressed, and always seem to give off confidence in their style choices. “The laissez-faire(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.
