【答案】l.B2.D3.B

【解析】

【導語】本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了四個意大利最著名的景點。

【1題詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Pompeii部分中的“Buriedundervolcanicashforcenturies,theancientcityofPompeiiisan

extraordinaryarchaeological（考古的）site.Exploringitsremarkablypreservedruinsoffersaglimpseintodailylife

duringRomantimes,makingitanincrediblehistoricaldestination.（被火山灰掩埋了幾個世紀的龐貝古城是一個

非凡的考古遺址。探索其保存完好的遺跡，可以一瞥羅馬時代的日常生活，使其成為一個令人難以置信的

歷史目的地）”可知，游客在龐貝可以看到保存完好的城市遺址。故選B。

【2題詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)TheColosseum部分中的“Rome飛mostfamouslandmark,theColosseum,isanancient

stadiumthatwasonceusedforexcitingfightsandshows.（羅馬最著名的地標是羅馬斗獸場，這是一座古老的體

育場，曾經(jīng)用于激動人心的戰(zhàn)斗和表演）”可知，羅馬斗獸場的特色是進行過驚險戰(zhàn)斗的舞臺。故選D。

【3題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段“Italy,acountrysteepedinhistoryandbeauty,ishometonumerousiconiclandmarksthat

attractmillionsofvisitorseachyear.Lefsstartourjourneytodiscoveritsmostrenownedattractions.（意大利是一

個充滿歷史和美麗的國家，擁有眾多標志性建筑，每年吸引數(shù)百萬游客。讓我們開始我們的旅程，發(fā)現(xiàn)最

著名的景點）”可知，文章介紹了四個意大利最著名的景點。由此推知，這篇文章很可能摘自一本旅游小冊

子。故選B。
