閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C和D) 中，選出最佳選項。
A
Founded nearly a century ago,the House of Prada is recognized around the world for its simple and eye-catching creations.
Mario Prada started the Prada label in 1913. He designed and sold luggage,handbags,and shoes in two small stores in Milan,Italy,and had customers across Europe and the US. When the big-name Prada suitcase,made from heavy walrus (海象) skin,proved unsuitable for aif travel,Prada concentrated on designing excellent leather goods and waterproof handbags.
In 1978,Mario's granddaughter,Miuccia Prada who was clearly fashion-conscious,took over the company. The label was well known as a leather goods manufacturer,but had been struggling financially for several years. It looked like it was going to continue to do so. There was competition from other fashion houses like Gucci,but Miuccia turned the business around and brought the House of Prada into the? world of haute couture (高級時裝) .
Miuccia had been making jet-black waterproof backpacks since 1970,out of a nylon fabric called “Pocone”. She produced the classic Prada handbag which was simple,black nylon,and in 1985 it became a worldwide hit. The bag was functional,practical -and fashionable. The high price tag that accompanied the handbags was bound to encourage other companies to make similar cheaper bags in order to take advantage of the market. This only helped to make the genuine Prada articles more in demand.
In 1989,Prada hit the fashion shows with its ready-to-wear collection of elegant,simple clothing. The fashion world took notice,and Prada's popularity soared(飛漲) .By the beginning of the 1990s,it was clear that Prada was going to be the leading force in fashion. Luxurious fabrics and simple styles,mostly in basic colours such as black,brown,grey and cream became the typical Prada look.
In 1992,Miuccia created the more affordable Miu Miu line,aimed at younger buyers,followed by,the Prada Sport label,a line of men，s wear and a lingerie(女士內(nèi)衣) collection.
Although the Prada look has developed over the years,and Miuccia has introduced many innovations(創(chuàng)新) in fabric and design,the quality of the finished product has never changed.

本文是記敘文。文章介紹了奢侈品牌普拉達(dá)的發(fā)展歷程。
1. A. 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第二段的When the big-name Prada suitcase,made from heavy walrus skin,proved unsuitable for air travel可知，最初馬里奧•番拉達(dá)制作的行李箱采用海象皮，其重量不輕，實在不適合帶它上飛機去旅行。
2. B. 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第三段的There was competition from other fashion houses like Gucci,but Miuccia turned the business around可知，繆西規(guī)•普拉達(dá)接手普拉達(dá)公司時，該公司就一直面臨著激烈的競爭。
3. B. 推理判斷題。由第四段的The high price tag ... only helped to make the genuine Prada articles more in demand 可知，大量冒牌貨的出現(xiàn)反而使得真正的普拉達(dá)商品的需求量增大。4. D. 標(biāo)題歸納題。本文旨在介紹奢侈品牌普拉達(dá)的發(fā)展歷程——由最初在米蘭 的小店售賣一步步成為引領(lǐng)時尚的國際品牌，故D項作標(biāo)題符合文意。
5. D. 寫作手法題。由文中出現(xiàn)的年份1913.1978.1989.1992等時間可知，本文 按時間順序介紹了奢侈品牌普拉達(dá)的發(fā)展歷程。

All around the world,people are working hard to make their cities safer and more pleasant for pedestriand(行人) .Cities have painted crosswalks on their streets,made streets narrower,put in traffic lights and speed bumps(減速帶) and made plans to help more kids walk or bike to school.

They put old couches,tables,and planters in the street. 39 When the police arrived,they saw how these illegal actions made the streets safer. Soon city officials started planning ways to make cars slow down,and “calm” the traffic.
