2021届高考英语预测卷 本试卷满分120分，考试时间100分钟。 第一部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。 A Travel in Europe Instead of Santorini, Tinos ??? Santorini has been struggling with overtourism for years, a victim of its own success, and the Greek government, sought to lure tourists back following an 8-year financial crisis. Now this idyllic destination has reached saturation point (饱和点). ??? A more authentic Greece--the one that Santorini offered before the crowds--can be found in the Cycladic haven of Tinos. With its own enchanting sunsets and rugged charm, this under-the-radar gem is an alluring alternative. Instead of Amsterdam, Delft and The Hague ??? In 2017, Amsterdam was visited by 19 million people, two million more than those who live in the entire country.

All styles were combined in Valencia Cathedral, built between the 13th and 18th centuries; architectural purists (纯粹主义者) should not miss the 15th-century Silk Exchange, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a stunning reminder of the city's mercantile importance. 1.What can we learn about Santorini?
