7.Vans,Keds,Dollies-they sound like the names of rock bands,but if you have teenagers,you'll know they're actually the latest in teenage footwear.
But experts are now warning that the current shoe fashions will be causing teenagers discomfort in the short term and storing up years of foot,knee and back pain in the future.
Here,the experts identify the problems caused by teenagers'shoe choice.
KEDS/VANS

Slip-on shoes with elastic (彈性的)sides are particularly popular among teenage boys-with Keds and Vans the most sought-after brands.
The main problem is that they are just too flat-so flat that the heel,which strikes the ground first,also becomes damaged and painful.
BALLET PUMPS

The worst shoes of all are such light and thin dolly shoes.The problem is partly their flatness,as with Keds and Vans.However ballet pumps,which have no string or heel,have other specific problems.
"As the shoe has no fastening device,it relies on the toes to keep the shoe on,causing an awkward gait(步法),this leads to short-and long-term problems such as calluses(繭子),heel and knee pain."
WEDGES AND STILETTOS

These shoes can also cause problems with gait.They may look good,but the heels on these are so high they can force the wearer's body weight forward,making them very unstable.
Teens who wear these shoes regularly are also in danger of joining those millions of women with constant back pain.
SCHOOL SHOES
So what do podiatrists(足科醫(yī)生)have on their wish list,especially for everyday wear?
Something in a natural,breathable fabric,with a string to hold it on,with a small heel and a deep toe-box that does not press the toes,such as Clark's,Marks & Spencer or Rhino.
If your teen insists on wearing'bad'shoes,get them some simple foot orthotics(矯形器) in the shoes.These support and correct the movement of the foot and,properly fitted by a podiatrist,can often transform their walk and halt the damage.

A.Marks & Spencer.
B.Wedges & Stilettos.
C.Keds and Vans.
D.Ballet Pumps.
62.Which pair of shoes may not be found on the podiatrists'wish list?

63.The underlined word"halt"in the last paragraph probably meansC
A.increase           B.worsen                 C.stop               D.cure
64.From this passage we can inferA.
A.trendy shoes may ruin teenagers'health
B.fashionable shoes all have orthotics in them
C.experts are strongly against wearing popular shoes
D.podiatrists are expert at producing branded shoes
65.In which column of Mail Online can you find this passage?C

分析 本文屬于說明文閱讀,作者通過這篇文章主要向我們介紹了三種款式的鞋子對(duì)人的身體,尤其是對(duì)青少年的身體造成的危害,并介紹了足科醫(yī)生對(duì)青少年選鞋和穿鞋的建議.

解答 61.D.事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題.從對(duì)Ballet Pumps的介紹部分第一JxThe worst shoesof all are such light and thin dolly shoes.可知Ballet Pumps造成的問題最嚴(yán)重;故選D.
62.B.推理判斷題.倒數(shù)第二段中足科醫(yī)生建議的鞋子款式為Some-thing in a natural.breathable fabric,with a string to hold it on,with a smallheel and a deep toe-box that does not press the toes…(由自然的、透氣的纖維制成,有一條帶予把它固定住,有小的鞋跟,還有不擠腳的深的鞋窩…)而B款沒有鞋跟,所以不符合足科醫(yī)生建議列表里的要求;故選B.
63.C.猜測(cè)詞義題.首先"damage"是損傷.其次從上下文可知讓青少年使用矯形器就是為了矯正他們的走姿,使其停止對(duì)身體的損傷.A.增強(qiáng),B.使焉化,D.治療,只有C.stop"停止"符合句意;故選C.
64.A.推理判斷題題:根據(jù)文章最后一段If your teen insists on wearing"bad"shoes,get them some simple foot orthotics(矯形器) in the shoes.These support and correct the movement of the foot and,properly fitted by a podiatrist,can often transform their walk and halt the damage.可知時(shí)髦的鞋可能會(huì)毀壞青少年的健康,故選A.
65.C.推理判斷題.通讀全文,本文分別介紹了三種款式的鞋子對(duì)人的身體,尤其是對(duì)青少年的身體造成的危害,并介紹了足科醫(yī)生對(duì)青少年選鞋和穿鞋的建議;故選C.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 考察學(xué)生的細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力,做細(xì)節(jié)理解題時(shí)一定要找到文章中的原句,和題干進(jìn)行比較,再做出正確的選擇.在做推理判斷題不要以個(gè)人的主觀想象代替文章的事實(shí),要根據(jù)文章事實(shí)進(jìn)行合乎邏輯的推理判斷.
