试题分析：这篇短文讲述的是来自意大利的Franco，他给我们介绍了意大利的三个城市，罗马，米兰和威尼斯。罗马有很多古老的建筑，米兰是一个时尚的城市，威尼斯是一个水城。

1.C细节理解题。根据文意可知，这篇短文中提到了意大利的三个城市，Rome, Milan, Venice，即罗马、米兰和威尼斯。故选C。

2.D词义猜测题。根据短文大意以及划线单词所在的句子Milan．is in the north-west of Italy and it has a population of about 4,000，000 people可知，米兰在意大利的西北部，人口有4,000,000.由此可见population的意思是人口，故选D。
