　　Ⅳ.閱讀理解

　　A

　　Vans, Keds, Dollies—they sound like the names of rock bands, but if you have teenagers, you'll know they're actually the latest in teenage footwear. But experts are now warning that the current shoe fashions will be causing teenagers discomfort in the short term and storing up years of foot, knee and back pain in the future.

　　Here, the experts identify the problems caused by teenagers' shoe choice.

　　KEDS/VANS

　　Slip-on shoes with elastic(有彈性的)sides are particularly popular among teenage boys—with Keds and Vans the most sought-after brands.

　　The main problem is that they are just too flat—so flat that the heel, which strikes the ground first, also becomes damaged and painful.

　　BALLET PUMPS

　　The worst shoes of all are such light and thin dolly shoes. The problem is partly their flatness, as with Keds and Vans. However ballet pumps, which have no string or heel, have other specific problems.

　　“As the shoe has no fastening device, it relies on the toes to keep the shoe on, causing an awkward gait(步法); this leads to short and long-term problems such as calluses(繭子), heel and knee pain.”

　　WEDGES AND STILETTOS

　　These shoes can also cause problems with gait. They may look good, but the heels on these are so high that they can force the wearer's body weight forward, making them very unstable.

　　Teens who wear these shoes regularly are also in danger of joining those millions of women with constant back pain.

　　SCHOOL SHOES

　　So what do podiatrists(足科醫生)have on their wish list, especially for everyday wear?

　　Something in a natural, breathable fabric, with a string to hold it on, with a small heel and a deep toe-box that does not press the toes, such as Clark's, Marks & Spencer or Rhino.

　　If your teen insists on wearing “bad” shoes, get them some simple foot orthotics(矯形器)in the shoes. These support and correct the movement of the foot and, properly fitted by a podiatrist, can often transform their walk and halt the damage.

　　文章大意：該怎樣為孩子們選擇健康的鞋子呢？這是一門學問。

　　1．Of all the shoes mentioned in the passage, which can cause the worst problems?

　　A．Marks & Spencer.

　　B．Wedges & Stilettos.

　　C．Keds and Vans.

　　D．Ballet Pumps.

　　答案：D　細節理解題。由第五段BALLET PUMPS下介紹可知。

　　2．Which pair of shoes may NOT be found on the podiatrists' wish list?

　　答案：B　推理判斷題。由第四段介紹可知，Keds and Vans等鞋子的底太平，是不健康的鞋子，所以B項不會是足科醫生建議買的那種鞋子。

　　3．The underlined word “halt” in the last paragraph probably means“________”．

　　A．increaseB．worsen

　　C．stop

　　D．cure

　　答案：C　猜測詞義題。最后一段介紹在鞋里安矯正器，可以讓孩子們改變錯誤的走法，從而“阻止”了傷害的發生。

　　4．From this passage we can infer________.

　　A．trendy shoes may ruin teenagers' health

　　B．fashionable shoes all have orthotics in them

　　C．experts are strongly against wearing popular shoes

　　D．podiatrists are expert at producing branded shoes

　　答案：A　推理判斷題。由第二句“But experts are now warning that the current shoe fashions will be causing teenagers discomfort in the short term and storing up years of foot, knee and back pain in the future.”可推知，這些時髦的鞋子會給青少年的健康造成損害。

　　5．In which column of Mail Online can you find this passage?

　　A．Sports.

　　B．Science.

　　C．Health. D．Shopping.

　　答案：C　推理判斷題。全文講述了一些時髦品牌的鞋子會給青少年的健康造成損害，并建議我們怎樣去做以避免傷害的發生。因此，這是健康話題。

　　B

　　Amanda took whatever pills she could get, largely because she was finding life hard to take. “There were a lot of problems，” she says. She had just found out that her parents were splitting(分開). It took her by surprise—and she was shocked. “I woke up one morning, and they told me.”

　　“On a few occasions during my two years of going to pharming parties(品藥聚會), my heart would race so fast that it felt like it was going to explode. I felt weak and confused sometimes and even passed out several times，” she recalls. “But I picked up from the ground because I had a lot of pride in my drinking and drugging. I was really crazy about it and proud of the fact that I could take more than a lot of people.”

　　Finally, though, things got out of control. “I couldn't go a day without taking something，” she recalls, “and after a while, the pills upset my stomach; it hurt all the time, and I hardly ate. Finally, I couldn't take it any more. I went to my parents and told them I needed help.”

　　Amanda entered a treatment program and has been calm since her release last January. “Detox(戒癮) was the worst four days of my entire life，” she says. “I was throwing up all the food and had the shakes.”

　　She doesn't care about drugs. “I'm so hurt from this，” says Amanda, who has ulcers(潰瘍) and damaged kidneys from the drugs and alcohol. “I have to struggle daily to stay calm. But in some ways, I feel lucky I went through it, and I'm out of it now.” Amanda wrote a song called “Goodnight to the Moonlight”. Amanda says, “It's about how it feels to be taking drugs and alcohol, how it hurts, how it makes you feel like you're losing yourself.”

　　文章大意：Amanda由于父母離異而吸上了毒并成癮。在父母的幫助下，她艱難卻堅定地戒了毒獲得了新生。

　　6．The purpose of writing this passage is to tell us that______.

　　A．parents have a great influence on their children

　　B．drugs are a danger to our health and mind

　　C．once determined, you will face no difficulty

　　D．once formed, bad habits are hard to get rid of

　　答案：C　推理判斷題。由文章大意可知。

　　7．From the second paragraph we can learn that Amanda______.

　　A．was bored with her behavior

　　B．never felt frightened or ashamed of taking pills

　　C．took pride in taking much more drugs

　　D．was so strong in body that she never felt tired

　　答案：C　細節理解題。由第二段最后兩句話可知。

　　8．After taking drugs, Amanda________.

　　A．found out that her parents were splitting

　　B．found her lungs were damaged

　　C．was forced to enter a treatment program

　　D．felt confused and almost broke down

　　答案：D　細節理解題。由第四段第一句話可知。

　　9．It can be inferred from the last paragraph that________.

　　A．Amanda had such a strong will that she didn't lose herself

　　B．Amanda's song expressed her thanks and delight

　　C．Detox was not really a success to Amanda

　　D．drugs and alcohol ruined Amanda's health as well as her spirit

　　答案：A　推理判斷題。由最后一段她的話可推知。
