Italian Lakes and Greek Islands (12 Days)
Your tour begins in Milan, Italy(意大利), and moves on to the pretty Italian Lake District and the attractive resort(胜地)of Stresa, your home for two nights.

The cruise ship is filled with the warmth and culture of Italy and is richly designed with entertainment(娱乐)areas and very good living conditions. It will take you to the places of your dreams.
You’ll spend 4 days touring Greek cities you’ve always heard about. In Katakolon, you will have an exciting tour to nearby Olympia without a guide.

解析

试题分析：本文讲述的到意大利和希腊的一次旅游项目，介绍了这个航线的具体行程和价格方面的信息。
小题1:A 细节题。根据Your tour begins in Milan, Italy(意大利)和Your journey ends in Verona,可知是从米兰开始，到维罗纳结束。都是在意大利境内。故A正确。
小题2:C 推断题。根据表格

April 7	$2,099
June 2	$2,199
October 6	$2,099

可知在夏天的时候价格较高。故C正确。
小题3:C 推理题。根据本句Collette Vacations has carefully chosen the Costa Victoria as your home for your 7—night journey along the waterways of the Mediterranean.后面的the waterways of the Mediterranean地中海的水路，说明这最可能是一艘游轮。故C正确。
小题4:B 细节题。根据文章第二段In Katakolon, you will have an exciting tour to nearby Olympia without a guide.可知在Olympia是没有导游的，游客自己游玩。故B正确。
点评：本文讲述的到意大利和希腊的一次旅游项目，介绍了这个航线的具体行程和价格方面的信息。广告英语与普通英语存在许多差异，而又与人们日常生活密切相关，应用性很强。所以广告类阅读题可以很好地考查学生提取信息、处理信息的能力，也是历年来高考考查的一个热点。广告英语文句精练，信息量大，表达方式千变万化，做这种题目先略读题目，再浏览题干，然后带着问题找答案。在阅读时又要特别注意文中以黑体、大写、下划线等方式加以提示的文字，因为这很有可能是文章的核心或至少是一部分内容的概括。
