题文
阅读理解。 "If you run for more than five minutes at any time, you might need a pair of running shoes." AdvisesStephen Pribut, a US sports expert. Running shoes are highly technical footwear. The provide stability
(牢固) while bearing up to three times the wearer's body weight. But it's not easy to find the right
pair. Finding the right running shoes is something of an art, or a science and a feel.
The science part begins with the shape of the arch (弓) of your foot, which anyone can find out at
home with this quick experiment: Put your foot in water and place it on a piece of brown paper. If you
see a"C" shape on the paper when you remove your foot, you have a rare high arch. If the shape looks more
like a rectangle, that means you have flat feet. See something in between? That's a normal arch.
Conveniently for shoppers, shoe companies nowadays divide their shoes in three categories: neutral
( for high arches), stability ( for normal or low arches) and motion control (for flat arches). So you'll
know which type suits you.
At this point, most people would just grab an appealing shoe and try it on, But professionals would
do a few quality-control tests. First, you bend the shoe toe to heel to see where it bends. If it's not
at the forefoot---where the foot actually be bends, be afraid. Then you grip both ends and twist in
opposite directions. If you can twist it like a tower, it means there's zero support. Finally, you
squeeze (挤) he heel in both directions. A stable heel won't cave in.
Now you need to check the mold (模子) that shapes the inside of the shoe: whether its wide or narrow
in the mid-foot, how it sits on the heel and how roomy the toe box is.
It's wise to make the shoe purchase in the late afternoon, to allow for any swelling (肿胀) that your
feet do throughout the day. Toes also decide sizing choices. The rule is that you need a finger's width
from your longest toe (whether that's your big one or not) to the end of the shoe. 1. What is the main idea of this passage? A. Advantages of wearing running shoes fitting you.
B. Ways to get to know about the shape of the arch of your foot.

B. a high arch
C. a flat arch
D. a low arch 3. The underlined phrase "cave in" most probably means ______. A. bend
B. stretch
C. shake

B. Feet usually become larger late in the day.
C. The toes become longer late in the day.
D. The arch of our feet will be in best shape in the afternoon. 题型：未知难度：其他题型

考点
据考高分专家说，试题“阅读理解。 "If .....”主要考查你对 [日常生活类阅读 ]考点的理解。日常生活类阅读
日常生活类阅读的概念：
日常生活这一话题主要涉及人们衣食住行等方面的活动。这一话题的选材主要针对人们日常的工作，生活以及学习情况。做这一类题时，最主要的是要把握好人物的活动内容，时间和地点。
日常生活类阅读题答题技巧：
【题型说明】
该类文章内容涉及到人们的言谈举止、生活习惯、饮食起居、服饰仪表、恋爱婚姻、消遣娱乐、节日起源、家庭生活等。文章篇幅短小，追根溯源，探索各项风俗的历史渊源，内容有趣。命题也以送分题为主，如事实细节题、语义转换题、词义猜测题和简单推理判断题等。虽然这类文章读起来感觉轻松，试题做起来比较顺手，但绝不能掉以轻心。因为稍不留神，就会丢分。
【备考提醒】
为了保证较高准确率，建议同学们做好以下几点：
1、保持正常的考试心态。笔者在教学中发现，越是容易的试题，同学们越是容易失分。为什么呢？因为在这种情况下，同学们极易产生麻痹思想，认为题目好做，就不引起高度重视，于是思维不发散、不周密。而命题人就是利用同学们的这一弱点，设计陷阱题。所以，无论试题难易与否，我们都要保持正常的考试心态。试题容易，不欣喜；试题难，不悲观。
2、根据前面讲到的方法，认认真真、细细心心做好事实细节题。
3、做好语义转换题。这类题是根据英语中一词多义和某些词语在文中能表达一定的修辞意义的原则而设计的。要求同学们解释某生词的含义，确定多义词或短语在文中的意思，确认文中的某个代词所指代的对象，或者对英语中特有的表达、格言、谚语进行解释。这种题要求同学们一定要根据上下文猜测词义或理解句子，切不可望文生义。
4、做好简单推理判断题。简单推理判断题要以表面文字为前提，以具体事实为依据进行推理，做出判断。这种推理方式比较直接，只要弄清事实，即可结合常识推断出合理的结论。
