12.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 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 barefoot 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 26percent.Increased pressure on the knee eventually leads to arthritis(关节炎),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,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.
58.We learn from the passage that women choose chunky heels becauseA.
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
59.It can be inferred from the passage thatB.
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
60.The best title for the passage may beB.
A.Taking Healthy Knees into Consideration
B.High-heels Do Harm to Knees
C.Chunky Heels and Stiletto Heels
D.When Wearing High-heels.
分析 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.
解答 ABB
58.A 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.
59.B 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,意思是人们早就知道穿高跟鞋对健康有害,故答案为B.
60.B 标题判断题.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.
