题目内容
Welcome to one of the largest collections of footwear in the world that will make you green with envy. Here at the Footwear Museum you can see exhibits from all over the world. You can find out about shoes worn by everyone from the Ancient Egyptians to pop stars.
Room 1
The celebrity footwear section is probably the most popular in the entire museum. Started in the 1950s there is a wide variety of shoes and boots belonging to everyone from queens and presidents to pop stars and actors! Most visitors find the celebrities' choice of footwear extremely interesting.
Room 2
Most of our visitors are amazed—and shocked—by the collection of “special purpose” shoes on exhibition here at the Museum of Footwear. For example, there are Chinese shoes made of silk that were worn by women to tie their feet firmly to prevent them from growing too much!
Room 3
As well as shoes and boots, the museum also exhibits shoeshaped objects. The variety is unbelievable. For example, there is a metal lamp that resembles a pair of shoes, and Greek wine bottles that look like legs!
The Footwear Library
People come from all over the world to study in our excellent footwear library. Designers and researchers come here to look up information on anything and everything related to the subject of footwear.

解析试题分析:这篇文章是一则广告,介绍了各个展厅的鞋子,以及欢迎大家来到鞋博物馆。
【小题1】 是一道细节题,room1 里面就是明星们的鞋,故选A。
【小题2】也是一道细节题,room1、2、 3都是按照主题分类的。故选A。
【小题3】A错了,room1起源于1950s, 但是没有具体说最早的展品就是那时制造的。B明显错误,room1才是the most popular,答案C错了,room3只是展示shoe shaped objects. 所以答案为D。
【小题4】从文章的第一句话得知,本文是广告。因此选C。
考点:广告布告类短文阅读理解
点评:广告布告类短文阅读理解与普通英语存在许多差异,而又与人们日常生活密切相关,应用性很强。所以它可以很好地考查学生提取信息、处理信息的能力,也是历年来高考考查的一个热点。此类文章文句精练,信息量大,表达方式千变万化,做这种题目先略读题目,再浏览题干,然后带着问题找答案。在阅读时又要特别注意文中以黑体、大写、下划线等方式加以提示的文字,因为这很有可能是文章的核心或至少是一部分内容的概括。

If you are asked to chair a meeting, remember the following six golden rules for meeting management.
1. Always start the meeting on time
If you begin on time, group members who show up late will realize the value of time. Beginning on time reflects the skill as an effective time manager and sets an example for others to follow.
2. Select a note-taker or arrange to have the meeting audio-taped
You may need to refer back to an issue that was discussed during the meeting at a later date. Good record-keeping is a sign of a good meeting manager as well.
3. Learn to listen
So many times we think we are going to say and, in the process, block out important points that other group members may be contributing. Additionally, we often hear only what we want to hear, rather than really listen to other people. Meetings that are characterized by effective listening are successful meetings.
4. Keep the discussion on track
Many times important issues can get sidetracked in a meeting, especially when everyone has a different opinion about the topic. If an unexpected conflict develops once the meeting is in progress, either appoint a subcommittee to look into the problem, or ask the participants involved in the conflict to meet with you after the meeting. Doing so will help keep the discussion on track and minimize (减少) the chances of wasting participants’ time of great value.
5. Give everyone an opportunity to be heard
Some people tend to control meetings, whereas others wait to be asked their opinions. As the leader of the meeting, you need to keep an open mind and make sure everyone feels welcome to contribute and express ideas without criticism.
6. End on time
If you said the meeting would last no longer than one hour, make sure the meeting lasts for only one hour. Running late with a meeting makes members late for other appointments, increases the chances that the members will mentally leave the meeting and reduces your reliability as an effective meeting manager.
