Healthy knees aren’t the main consideration in choosing high heels,but new research says chunky heels are just as bad for the knees as spindly stilettos(细高跟鞋).“It takes a long time to feel the effects of knee osteoarthritis(骨关节炎)—and once you do it,it is too late,”said Dr.Casey Kerrigan,leading researcher of the study and associate professor at Harvard Medical School’s department of physical medicine.“I compare it to smoking—one cigarette is not painful,but over a lifetime it is.Wide-heeled shoes feel comfortable,so women wear them all day long,”Kerrigan said.“They are better for your feet than stiletto heels,but just as bad for your knees.”

In the study,researchers had twenty women wear two pairs of shoes with three-inch heels,one with a narrow heel and the other with a thick one.The scientists compared how much pressure was put on the women’s knees by both types of shoes.The women also walked bare-foot to test normal pressure.The scientists found that both types of shoes applied equal amounts of pressure to the knees.Compared with walking barefoot,the heels increased pressure on the inside of the knee by 26 percent.Increased pressure on the knee eventually leads to arthritis,experts say.

The idea that high heels are bad for your health isn’t new—scientists have warned women for years that they contribute to problems ranging from corns to hammer toes,tendonitis,knee pain,sprained(扭伤)ankles and back problems.But in 1998,Kerrigan and a team of Harvard researchers were the first to link high heels and knee osteoarthritis,a painful joint disease that destroys cartilage(软骨)surrounding the knee.The first study looked only at stiletto heels,and Kerrigan said she wanted to study the chunky high-heeled shoes she noticed many women wearing.“This study confirms what we all intuitively(直觉地)know that high-heeled shoes of any kind are not good for our health,”said Dr.Glem Pfeffer,a San Francisco doctor and member of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons who was not connected to the study.

We learn from the passage that women choose chunky heels because _________.

A.they want to walk comfortably

B.chunky heeled shoes are cheaper than stiletto heeled pairs

C.chunky heels do less harm to knees

D.chunky heels are not painful at all

The study mentioned in the second paragraph found that _________.

A.pressure on the foot is caused by high heels

B.the pressure is abnormal while walking barefoot

C.arthritis is always caused by pressure on the knees

D.both types of shoes have the same harm to the knees

It can be inferred from the passage that _________.

A.people got to know the high heels are bad for health recently

B.people have known the high heels are bad for health for years

C.people haven’t known the high heels are bad for health yet

D.people will be warned that the high heels are bad for health soon

Kerrigan’s late study looked at the chunky high-heeled shoes because _________.

A.they feel more comfortable

B.they are related to knee osteoarthritis

C.they are worn by many women

D.they are different from stiletto heels

The best title for the passage may be _________.

A.Talking Healthy Knees into Consideration

B.High-heels Do Harm to Knees

C.Chunky Heels and Stiletto Heels

D.When Wearing High-heels

【小题1】A

【小题2】D

【小题3】B

【小题4】C

【小题5】B


解析:

【小题1】:细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Wide?heeled shoes feel comfortable,so women wear them all day long”可知妇女选择粗高跟鞋是因为粗高跟鞋穿着舒服,A项与此意思相符。

【小题2】推理判断题。从第二段中的“The scientists found that both types of shoes applied equal amounts of pressure to the knees.”可知,两种高跟鞋给膝关节带来的压力是等量的,所以它们对膝关节的伤害是一样的。

【小题3】细节理解题。根据第三段开头“The idea that high heels are bad for your health isn’t new—scientists have warned women for years that...”可知B项与此一致。

【小题4】细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The first study looked only at stiletto heels,and Kerrigan said she wanted to study the chunky high?heeled shoes she noticed many women wearing.”可见,起初的研究对象只是细高跟鞋,Kerrigan后来对粗高跟鞋进行调查研究是因为她注意到许多妇女穿着粗高跟鞋。

【小题5】主旨大意题。本文主要论述了鞋跟粗厚的高跟鞋和鞋跟细高的高跟鞋一样,都对膝关节有损害。所以B选项“高跟鞋伤害膝关节”是最佳选项。

健康问题一直是生活中的热点话题。尤其对于女性来说,你知道穿矮高跟鞋和纯粹的高跟鞋对你身体健康的影响吗?

Healthy knees aren't the main consideration in choosing high heels, but new research says chunky heels are just __________as spindly stilettos(细高跟鞋).

"It takes a long time to feel the effects of knee osteoarthritis(骨关节炎)— and once you do, it is too late," said Dr. Casey Kerrigan, leading researcher of the study and associate professor at Harvard Medical School's department of physical medicine.

"I compare it to smoking — one cigarette is not painful, but over a lifetime it is. Wide-heeled shoes feel comfortable, so women wear them all day long, "Kerrigan said.”They are better for your feet than stiletto heels, but just as had for your knees.”

The idea that high heels are bad for your health isn't new — scientists have warned women for years that they contribute to problems ranging from corns to hammer toes, tendonitis, knee pain, sprained(扭伤)ankles and back problems.

But in 1998, Kerdgan and a team of Harvard researchers were the first to link high heels and knee osteoarthritis, a painful joint disease that destroys cartilage(软骨)surrounding the knee.

The first study looked only at stiletto heels, and Kerrigan said she wanted to study the chunky high-heeled shoes she noticed many women wearing.

"This study confirms what we all intuitively(直觉地)know that high-heeled shoes of any kind are not good for our health," said Dr. Glenn Pfeifer, a San Francisco doctor and member of the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons who was not connected to the study.

1. What’s the main idea of the passage?

                                                                           

2. Which sentence in the passage is the closest in meaning to the following one?

In my opinion, it is similar to smoking, for smoking one cigarette does little harm but if you smoke all your life, it’ll be very painful.

                                                                          

3. Please fill in the blank in the passage with proper words or phrases to complete the sentence.(within ten words)

                                                                          

4. What do you think of wearing the chunky heels according to the passage? (within 30 words)

Grandfather was an elder Cherokee Native American who had a wrinkled, nut brown face and kind dark eyes.His grandson often came in the evening to sit on his knee and asked the many questions that children asked.

One day the grandson came to his grandfather with a look of anger on his face and the following story."Father and I went to the store today and because I helped him, he bought me a present, a jack-knife.I went outside to wait for father and to admire my new knife in the sunlight.Some town boys came by and saw me.They surrounded me and started saying bad things.They called me dirty and stupid and said that I should not have such a fine knife.The largest of these boys pushed me back and I fell over one of the other boys.I dropped my knife and one of them picked it up and they all ran away laughing.I hate them.I hate them all.”

The elder Cherokee, with eyes that had seen too much, lifted his grandson's face so his eyes looked into the boy's face.Grandfather said, " Let me tell you a story.I, too, at times, have felt a great hate for those who have taken so much with no sorrow for what they do.But hate wears you down and does not hurt your enemy.It is like drinking poison and wishing your enemy would die.I have struggled with these feelings many times.It is as if two wolves are inside me...It is a terrible fight.

One wolf is good and does no harm.He lives in harmony with all around him and does not take offense (冒犯) when no offense is intended.It will only fight when it is right to do so and in the right way.This wolf stands for joy, peace, love, hope, sharing, modesty, kindness, friendship, sympathy, generosity, truth and faith.

The other wolf is full of anger.The smallest thing will set off his fiercest temper.He fights everyone, all the time, for no reason.He cannot think because his anger and hate are so much.

It is helpless anger, for his anger will change nothing.This wolf represents fear, envy, greed, self-pity, guilt, lies, false pride and superiority.

Sometimes, it is hard to live with these two wolves inside me for both of them try to control my mind.This same fight is going on inside you and inside every other person too."

The boy looked into his grandfather's eyes and asked, "Which wolf will win?" The old Cherokee simply replied ...

     "The one you feed."

1.The boy was angry because ______.

     A.he was not satisfied with his present

     B.his back was badly injured in a fight

     C.he had waited for his father for too long

     D.his jack-knife had been taken away by some boys

2.The angry wolf would probably be described as ______.

     A.aggressive(好斗)      B.sympathetic     C.modest      D.unsuccessful

3.We can learn from the third paragraph that ______.

     A."hate" is healthy                   B."hate" hurts oneself

     C."hate" is complicated            D."hate" harms one's enemies

4.What did Grandfather mean by saying "The one you feed" in the last paragraph?

     A.We should feed the two wolves equally.

     B.Living in harmony with others is important.

     C.Our feelings should be expressed at the right time.
