Question

【题目】 The British artist Dominic Wilcox has created a pair of shoes, which can lead you home no matter where you are in the world. He thought about the fairy tale The Wizard of Oz and how Dorothy could click her shoes to go home. So he decided to make a pair of shoes that could take you home with a click of heels. The shoes can point the way with GPS and clever LEDs(发光二极管).Wilcox worked with another artist and a shoemaker to produce what he calls the “No Place Like Home” shoes.

One of the “No Place Like Home” shoes has a GPS unit inside the heel of the left shoe. It communicates wirelessly(无线方式)with the right shoe and provides data to the LED lights. The LEDs on the left toe point the person in the right direction while those on the right toe show how much of the journey still remains.

It may be an art project. There’s only one pair, but it’s not hard to imagine a similar, more everyday pair of shoes for children, old people or those who always lose their ways in the future.

Now, this pair of shoes are on show in London.

【解析】

文章大意：文章主要介绍的是英国艺术家Dominic Wilcox创作的鞋子。

【1】细节理解题。根据第一段倒数第一、二行Wilcox worked with another artist and a shoemaker to produce what he calls the “No Place Like Home” shoes.“威尔科克斯与另一位艺术家和一位鞋匠合作，制作了一双他称之为“家无处可去”的鞋子。” artist and a shoemaker意为“艺术家和一个鞋匠”，故填artist and a shoemaker。

【2】细节理解题。根据第二段第一行One of the “No Place Like Home” shoes has a GPS unit inside the heel of the left shoe.“其中一个“没有地方像家一样”的鞋子在左脚的鞋跟里有一个GPS装置”，故填a GPS。

【3】细节理解题。根据第三段第一行There’s only one pair“只有一双”，故填Only one pair。

【4】主旨大意题。文章主要介绍的是英国艺术家Dominic Wilcox创作的鞋子。所以主题句是文章的第一句话，故填The British artist Dominic Wilcox has created a pair of shoes。

【5】Now“现在”，this pair of shoes“这双鞋”，on show“在展出”，in London“在伦敦”，故填现在这双鞋正在伦敦展出。
