Question

7．Reseachers at the University of Kansas say that people can accurately juage 90 percent of a stranger's personality simply by looking at the person's shoes．"Shoes convey useful information about their wearers，"the authors wrote in the new study published in the Journal of Research in Personality．
Lead researcher Omri Gillath said the judgments were based on the style，cost，color and condition of someone's shoes．In the study，63 University of Kansas researchers looked at pictures showing 208 different pairs of shoes worn by the study's participants．Volunteers in the study were photographed in their most commonly worn shoes，and then filled out a personality questionnaire．
Some of the results were expected：People with higher incomes most commonly wore expensive shoes，and flashier shoes were typically worn by outgoing people．However，some of the more specific results are strange enough．For example，"practical and functional''shoes were generally worn by more"pleasant"people，while ankle boots were more linked with‘‘aggressive''personalities．The strangest of all may be that those who wore‘‘uncomfortable looking"shoes tend to have"calm"personalities．And if you have several pairs of new shoes or take extreme care of them，you may suffer from"attachment anxiety"，spending lots of time worrying about what other people think of your appearance．There was even a political calculation in the mix with more liberal（主张变革的）types wearing"shabbier and less expensire"shoes．
The researchers noted that some people will choose shoe styles to mask their actual personalities，but researchers noted that volunteers were also likely to be unaware that their footwear choices were showing the deep side of their personalities．

Answer 1

分析 本文是一篇说明文．主要介绍了一项新的调查结果，研究表明根据一个人的鞋子可以判断一个人，甚至是陌生人的性格，准确率能达到90%．研究人员指出有些研究结果是在意料之内的，而有些结果是出乎人们意料的．比如穿实用性鞋子的人一般具有令人愉快的性格，而穿及踝短靴的人却往往具有攻击性的性格．

解答 61．C      主旨大意题．根据文章第一段中"Shoes convey useful information about their wearers"，然后对调查活动进行详细的介绍，最后一段"their footwear choices were showing the deep side of their personalities"通过进一步印证中心，因此文章主要讲述的是人们所穿的鞋子能反映出人的性格，故选C．
62．A      细节理解题．根据文章第二段"researchers looked at pictures showing 208 different pairs of shoes worn by the study's participants"以及"Volunteers in the study were photographed in their most commonly worn shoes"可知，参与调查的人们要求提供他们鞋子的照片，故选A．
63．C      细节理解题．根据文章第三段"However，some of the more specific results are strange enough．For example…..ankle boots were more linked with‘‘aggressive''personalities．"可知，穿及踝短靴的人更具有攻击性是出乎人们意料的，故选C．
64．B     细节理解题．根据文章第三段"…..you may suffer from"attachment anxiety"，spending lots of time worrying about what other people think of your appearance．"可知，患有'attachment anxiety‘的人们，会更担心他们的外表，故选B．
65．A     推理判断题．纵观全文，讲述的是根据鞋子来判断人性格的一项调查，文章开头提出中心，然后在下文进行详细介绍，由此可知，作者的写作目的是给人们介绍一项新的调查结果，故选A．

点评 解答细节理解题时，一个常用的方法就是运用定位法，即根据题干和选项中的关键词从原文中找到相关的句子，与选项进行比较从而确定答案；推理判断题既要求学生透过文章表面文字信息推测文章隐含意思，又要求学生对作者的态度、意图及文章细节的发展作正确的推理判断，力求从作者的角度去考虑，不要固守自己的看法或观点．
