But experts are now warning that the latest shoes in different styles will be causing teenagers discomfort(不舒适) in the short term and storing up years of foot, knee and back pain in the future.
Here, the experts discover the problems caused by teenagers" shoe choice.
KEDS/VANS
Slip-on shoes with elastic (弹性的) 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 hits 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 a difficult gait(步法), this leads to short- and long-term problems such as calluses(茧子), 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 shaky.
Teens who wear these shoes regularly are also in danger of joining those millions of women with continuous back pain.
SCHOOL SHOES
So what do podiatrists(足科医生)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(矫形器) in the shoes. These support and correct the movement of the foot and, properly fitted by a podiatrist, can often change their walk and halt the damage.
小题1:Of all the shoes mentioned(提到) in the passage, which can cause the worst problems?
A.Marks & Spencer. | B.Wedges & Stilettos. |
C.Keds and Vans. | D.Ballet Pumps. |
A. | B. | C. | D. |
A.increase | B.worsen | C.stop | D.cause |
A.Sports. | B.Science. | C.Health. | D.Shopping. |
答案
小题1:D
小题2:B
小题3:C
小题4:C
解析
试题分析:本文分别介绍了三种款式的鞋子对人的身体,尤其是对青少年的身体造成的危害,并介绍了足科医生对青少年选鞋和穿鞋的建议。
小题1:事实细节题。从对Ballet Pumps的介绍部分第一JxThe worst shoesof all are such light and thin dolly shoes.可知D正确。
小题2:推理判断题。倒数第二段中足科医生建议的鞋子款式为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、透气的纤维制成,有一条带予把它固定住,有小的鞋跟,还有不挤脚的深的鞋窝……)而B款没有鞋跟,所以不符合足科医生建议列表里的要求。
小题3:猜测词义题。首先“damage”是损伤。其次从上下文可知让青少年使用矫形器就是为了矫正他们的走姿,使其停止对身体的损伤。A.增强,B.使焉化,D.治疗,只有C.stop“停止”符合句意。
小题4:推理判断题。本文主要讲述不同款式的鞋子对身体健康的影响,所以C项正确。
点评:本文分别介绍了三种款式鞋子:帆布鞋芭蕾鞋坡跟鞋和高跟鞋对人体尤其是对青少年的身体造成的危害,并介绍了足科医生对青少年选鞋和穿鞋的建议。文章层次清晰,并辅以图片,以便更好的理解文章。完成阅读考生首先要仔细阅读短文,完整了解信息,准确把握作者观点

举一反三
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
It is your skin that keeps your insides from falling out. It helps you warm up when you are cold, and it can cool you off when you are hot. It lets you feel things by touch.
Like the heart, stomach and brain, your skin is an organ. In fact, it is the largest organ in your body. But it is still easy to take skin for granted. 1 But skin has an important job to do.
Your skin is constantly protecting you. 2 When you take care of your skin, you are helping your skin do its job. And taking care of your skin today will help prevent future problems, like wrinkles(皱纹) and even skin cancer.
3 Keeping your hands clean all the time is especially important because they can spread germs(细菌) to the skin on other parts of your body.
4 Cold or hot water may hurt your skin. Wet your hands, then lather up with a mild soap (香皂). You should rub everywhere, including the palms, the wrists and the nails. Wash them well, dry thoroughly with a clean towel and you’re done.
You"ll also want to use warm water when you take a bath. Use soap to clean your body. Don"t forget under your arms and behind your ears! Your face needs attention, especially as you enter puberty(青春期) and the skin on your face gets more oily. 5
A.One simple way to take care of your skin is to keep it clean. |
B.It is a good habit to wash your hands before and after meals. |
C.When washing your hands, use water that’s comfortably warm. |
D.It keeps infections out of your body and keeps you from getting sick. |
F. Your skin plays a more important role in keeping you healthy during your puberty.
G. It’s a good idea to wash your face once or twice daily with warm water and a mild soap.
If we have no breakfast, we are likely to become tired when our brains and bodies run low on fuel (食物). By mid-morning, a lot of us grab a cup of coffee or eat a sugary candy bar to wake up again. This might work for a few minutes, but by lunch time we are hungry. Eating a good breakfast sets the tone for the rest of the day.
Having no breakfast is a popular way to lose weight, but not a smart one. Many people believe that they will lose weight if they have no meals, but that just isn’t true; the body expects to be refueled a few times a day, starting with a healthy breakfast. Eating breakfast is good for losing weight. In fact, people who eat breakfast are more likely to keep a healthy weight.
A healthy breakfast should have some protein (蛋白质) and some fiber (纤维). Protein can come from low fat meats, eggs, or beans. Fiber can be found in whole grains, vegetables and fruits. A good example of a healthy breakfast might be something simple like a hard boiled egg, an orange, and a bowl of whole grain cereal with low fat milk. Stay away from sugary foods and white bread because they are digested (消化) quickly and will leave you hungry and tired in several hours. Protein and fiber will keep you feeling full until lunch time.
小题1:The first paragraph mainly tells us that ______.
A.it is necessary to have a good breakfast every day |
B.many adults are too busy to have breakfast every day |
C.many adults go to work without having breakfast |
D.many children go to school without breakfast |
A.we need to have a cup of coffee |
B.we don’t have a good breakfast |
C.our brains don’t work any longer |
D.we don’t have enough sleep at night |
A.Having a good breakfast can help you to finish your work. |
B.Eating a good breakfast is enough for the whole day. |
C.Breakfast is really the most important meal in a day. |
D.You will be happier if you have a good breakfast. |
A.it is healthy only to have beans and eggs for your breakfast |
B.you mustn’t have meat for your breakfast |
C.you should eat sugary foods if you feel hungry |
D.you should eat something which has protein and fiber for breakfast |
Well, I had nothing against feeling great and if Alex could jog every day, anyone could. So I took up jogging seriously and gave it a good two months of my life, and not a day more. Based on my experience, jogging is the most overvalued form of exercise around, and judging from the number of the people who left our neighborhood jogging army. I’m not alone in my opinion.
First of all, jogging is very hard on the body. Your legs and feet are a real pounding(沉重的脚步) running down a road for two or three miles. I developed foot, leg, and back problems. Then I read about a nationally famous jogger who died of a heart attack while jogging, and I had something else to worry about. Jogging doesn’t kill hundreds of people, but if you have any physical weaknesses, jogging will surely bring them out, as they did with me.
Secondly, I got no enjoyment out of jogging. Putting one foot in front of the other for forty-five minutes isn’t my idea of fun. Jogging is also a lonely pastime. Some joggers say, “I love being out there with just my thoughts” Well, my thoughts began to bore me, and most of them were on how much my legs hurt.
And how could I enjoy something that brought me pain? And that wasn’t just the first week—it was practically every day for two months. I never got past the pain level, and pain isn’t fun. What a cruel way to do it! So many other exercises, including walking, lead to almost the same results painlessly, so why jog?
I don’t jog any more, and I don’t think I ever will. I’m walking two miles three times a week at a fast pace, and that feels good. I bicycle to work when the weather is good. I’m getting exercise, and I’m enjoying it at the same time. I could never say the same for jogging, and I’ve found a lot of better ways to stay in shape.
小题1:From the first paragraph, we learn that in the writer’s neighborhood _________.
A.Jogging became very popular |
B.People jogged only during the daytime |
C.Alex organized an army of joggers |
D.Jogging provided a chance to get together |
A.heart attacks | B.back problems |
C.hundreds of people | D.physical weaknesses |
A.Jogging can help people keep fit |
B.Many physical problems result from jogging |
C.Not everyone enjoys jogging |
D.Jogging makes people feel greater |
阅读下面短文并回答问题,然后将答案写到答题卡相应的位置上(请注意问题后的词数要求)。
If you are worried about things and are under a lot of stress at work or school, then you are probably not sleeping well. Worry can keep you awake, and turning in bed until the early hours of the morning when you eventually fall asleep. When you wake up, you don’t feel refreshed, but tired and worn out and unable to face a new day.
Dr. Henry Winkle, in a recent newspaper article entitled StressandSleep, indicates that stress / worry and (lack of ) sleep are directly related. Dr. Winkle says, “The more we worry, the less we sleep, the more we are unable to deal with stress. If we can find a way to get a good night’s sleep,” he adds, “we can often find the energy to deal with what’s worrying us.”
So, what is a good night’s sleep? Research shows that the amount of sleep which people need in order to keep healthy varies a lot. Seven hours is about the average amount, though strangely enough, sleeping longer often gives you a headache instead of making you feel more refreshed.
Dr. Winkle believes that preparing for sleeping is important. People who work late should try to give themselves a short break and do something restful before going to bed. This could be watching TV or listening to music. Doing some exercise earlier in the day should help you to feel physically as well as mentally tired. A bedtime drink can also help, but coffee or tea should be avoided as they contain caffeine and will keep you awake. “When you put the light out,” Dr. Winkle says, “concentrate on relaxing your muscles, working slowly up from your feet, and you’ll be asleep before you know it.”
小题1:What is the best title of the passage? (No more than 10 words)
小题2:What does the underlined word “indicates” in the second paragraph mean?(1 word)
小题3:What’s the relationship between stress and sleep according to Dr. Henry Winkle? (No more than 20 words)
小题4:Someone says that the longer you sleep, the better you feel. Try to find some arguments from the passage against the idea. (No more than 30 words)
小题5:Doing what things can help us fall asleep quickly? (No more than 10 words)
Ways to fight the flu
The flu is annoying enough on its own. In order to keep yourself from it, follow these tips.
★Get the flu vaccine(疫苗). It’s the best way to protect yourself against the flu. 1 It also helps the people around you because there’s less chance you will catch the flu and pass it on.
★Wash your hands often. Hand washing is an important way to protect against germs(细菌) like flu viruses. 2 So get in the habit of washing your hands when you come home from school, the mall, or anywhere else where you are around a lot of people.
★ 3 Flu viruses travel through the air, so try to stay away from people who look sick. It’s also a good idea to avoid touching your nose, eyes, and mouth –three places flu viruses can easily enter the body.
★Cough or sneeze into a tissue(手巾纸) –not into your hands. That way, you’re not spreading the virus when you touch surfaces that other people may touch too.
★ 4 You don’t want to pass your germs to someone else. And staying home is a great excuse to watch your favorite movie, play video games, or read to have a good rest. 5
You also can fight the flu by getting enough sleep, eating healthy foods, drinking plenty of water, and getting regular exercise.
