Question

【题目】“Put yourself in someone else's shoes.” is【1】idiom that means if you imagine yourself to be in another person's position, good or bad, you may understand how they feel, good or bad, or why they have done 【2】 they've done.

This idiom comes from the fact【3】 a pair of perfectly fitting shoes for someone may not fit another person as perfectly. So, literally, only if you put 【4】another person's shoes can you feel how it is to walk in【5】．

Metaphorically speaking, “their shoes” stands for other people's position. A local boy is detained(扣留) by the police【6】a theft, and one of his friends might【7】 (private) say to himself: “I wouldn't want to be in his shoes now.” That is, he doesn't want【8】(put) into prison for stealing.

By trying to “put on their shoes”, we try to imagine ourselves in【9】situation, by seeing things from their point of view, by thinking about how we would want to be treated if we were them.

Harper Lee, of course, 【10】(express) this idea best in To Kill a Mockingbird: “You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view—until you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it.”

【解析】

【1】考查冠词。idiom是以元音音素开头，表示“一个”用an。

【2】考查what引导的宾语从句，what在从句中作do的宾语。

【3】考查同位语从句。that引导同位语从句，仅起引导作用，无任何含义。

【4】考查动词短语。put on穿上。

【5】考查代词。them代指前文的shoes。

【6】考查介词。for表示原因，detain sb for sth因为某事而扣留某人。

【7】考查副词。副词修饰动词say。

【8】考查不定式的被动式。句子的主语是put的动作承受者，故用不定式的被动式，也可用putting。

【9】考查代词。名词situation前缺少形容词性物主代词作定语，与前面和后面的their相对应。

【10】考查时态。句子无明显时态标志词，根据语境判断应用过去时或现在完成时。
