【答案】1.B2.D3.A

【解析】

【分析】本文为一篇说明文。主要介绍了纽约、伦敦、米兰和巴黎这四个国际城市在九月份举办的时装周。

【1题详解】

细节理解题。根据第三段中“LFWcannowcommandalistofbignamesaswellaspromisingnewdesigners.”可知，LFW既可以领导一些知名人士，也可以领导有前途的新设计师。所以伦敦最有可能吸引新设计师。故选B项。

【2题详解】

细节理解题。根据第四段“FashionWeekmovestoMilanonSeptember17th.”可知，9月17日，时装周将移师米兰。所以米兰时装周始于9月17日并持续约一周，也就是9月22号结束。故选D项。

【3题详解】

推理判断题。根据第二段“NYFWisconsideredthemostcommercialandcasualofthefour.Itisalsotheonlyeventtoallowsomefashionschoolstudentstoparticipate,bringingafreshlooktotherunway.”纽约时装周是最商业和休闲的，也是唯一允许时尚学校学生参与的活动；根据第三段“Londonfashionhouseshaveareputationforbeingveryexperimentalandopentonewideas.”LondonFashionWeek以实验性强、乐于接受新创意而闻名；根据第四段“Milan'sfashionhousesareknownforofferingglamorous（有魅力的）,yetpractical,options.”米兰时装周以提供迷人但实用的选择而闻名；第五段“ThewordthatbestdescribesParisFashionWeekis"elegant".”巴黎时装周以优雅闻名。每一时装周均讲述了它的各自特点。故选A项。

【点睛】本文重点考查细节理解类题目，做题时需注意仔细对照文章内容和题目选项，找准关键信息，排除干扰项。同时注意：选择与否都需要有明确的文章内容作为依据，切不可主观臆测。该文介绍了四个时装周的特点，并且各有侧重。题目中，第一题中题干为“newdesigners”，与第三段内容相对应，而不能简单理解为第二段中的“fashionschoolstudents”和“freshlook”而错选A项。

B
