题文

Sharon has been a serious runner for six years. She has completed three marathons and several shorter races. Each week she runs about 20 miles. Her favorite shoes? A $25 pair of Champion shoes she bought at Target. “I like running in simple shoes,” she said, “The more you pay, the more trouble you get.” She is right. Money often buys higher-quality goods, but not when it comes to running shoes. Over the last forty years, running has been popular as a leisure (闲暇的) sport. In 2009, 476,000 runners took part in a marathon. In 1976, the number was just 25,000. Sales of running shoes reached a record $ 2.36 billion in 2009, 60 percent more than ten years earlier. But some of those dollars may not have been well spent. In 2007, Scottish researchers tested running shoes at three price levels, ranging from $80 to $150, and found that low-cost and mid-cost shoes within the same brand protected runners’ feet just as well as high-cost ones, sometimes even better. “The common idea is that if you pay more, you will get better shoes,” said Abboud, director of the Institute of Motion Analysis and Research at the University of Dundee in Scotland, “Our research did not show that.” Professor Abboud and his colleagues have just completed a similar study, as not yet published, with nearly the same results. If you want to run well and run safely, consider fit first and price last. “You want a shoe that helps you keep a balanced position,” said Mark Montgomery, manager of the JackRabbit Sports store in Union Square in New York, “A more expensive shoe is not always the solution.” “The less you think about a shoe, the better,” said Ms Bakoul, a marathoner. 小题1:According to Sharon, ________. A．expensive shoes will give you more trouble B．higher-quality shoes will protect your feet better C．taking part in marathons is very important for runners D．running about 20 miles a week is the best for your health 小题2:From the passage the reason why much money is not well spent is that ________. A．it was spent on running B．it was spent on high- cost shoes C．running needs the cheapest shoes D．money often buys higher-quality goods 小题3:From the passage we can infer __________. A．running as a leisure sport will be no longer popular B．Professor Abboud thinks the common idea is right C．Ms Bakoul is against the research results D．Mark Montgomery agrees with Sharon 小题4:What’s the best title for the passage? A．The More, the Better B．Run Well and Run Safely C．The Less, the Better D．Fit First and Price Last

题型：完形填空  难度：中档

答案

小题1:A 小题2:B 小题3:D 小题4:D

小题1:细节理解题。根据“The more you pay, the more trouble you get.” 描述，可知选A。 小题2:细节理解题。根据文中所说“有些钱没有花费好。经研究发现同一个品牌的中、低档跑鞋的效果和高档的一样好，甚至更好”可知花费在高档鞋上的钱没有话费好，故选B。 小题3:细节理解题。根据倒数第二段文中Mark Montgomery说的“你想要帮你保持平衡的鞋，贵一点的鞋并不能总是解决问题。”和第二段中Sharon “你花的越多，你得到的麻烦越多”，都说明跑鞋不是越贵越好。故选D。 小题4:主旨大意题。根据全文提到“合适些才是最好的鞋”和文中“If you want to run well and run safely, consider fit first and price last.”可知选D。
