Welcome to one of the largest collections of footwear（鞋類）in the world that will make you green with envy. Here at the Footwear Museum you can see exhibits（展品）from all over the world. You can find out about shoes worn by everyone from the Ancient Egyptians to pop stars.
| Room 1 The celebrity（名人）footwear section is probably the most popular in the entire museum. Stared in the 1950s there is a wide variety of shoes and boots belonging to everyone from queens and presidents to pop stars and actors! Most visitors find the celebrities’ choice of footwear extremely interesting. | Room 2 Most of our visitors are amazed —and shocked— by the collection of “special purpose”shoes on exhibition here at the Museum of Footwear. For example, there are Chinese shoes made of silk, that were worn by women to tie their feet firmly to prevent them from growing too much! |
| Room 3 As well as shoes and boots the museum also exhibits shoe-shaped objects. The variety is unbelievable. For example, there is a metal lamp that resembles a pair of shoes, and Greek wine bottles that like legs! | The footwear Library People come from all over the world to study in our excellent footwear library. Designers and researchers come here to look up information on anything and everything related to the subject of footwear. |
| A．Room1. | B．Room 2. |
| C．Room3. | D．The Footwear Library |
| A．share the same theme |
| B．have the same shape |
| C．a(chǎn)re made of the same material |
| D．belong to the same social class |
| A．The oldest exhibits in Room 1 were made in the 1950s. |
| B．Room 2 is the most visited place in the museum. |
| C．Room 3 has a richer variety of exhibits than the other two. |
| D．Researchers come to the Footwear Library for data. |
| A．do research | B．design shoes |
| C．visit the museum | D．follow celebrities |
【小題1】A
【小題2】A
【小題3】D
【小題4】C
解析【小題1】細節(jié)理解。在四個表格 中找到包含明星的，因為 room1 有個漢語注釋“名人” ，最先注意到這一部分，細找會發(fā)現(xiàn) from queens and presidents to pop stars and actors! 中提到的pop stars即 famous singer. 所以，答案選 A。
【小題2】推理判斷。先看選項，而選項中都有一個詞 same,所以，題目目的明確：找每個房間的展品的共同點。找共同點最簡單的方法首先就是找出相同的詞，會發(fā)現(xiàn)，這四個表格無一例外的都有 shoe, 得出這之后，就要在 A、相同主題 B、相同形狀，C、相同材質(zhì)，D、相同社會群體中選擇的。而從“shoe鞋”一詞上無法體現(xiàn)出共有的形狀材質(zhì)和社會群體。所以，選擇 A。本題干擾最強的是B選項。因為受 room3 中的 shoe shaped objects 干擾，這里描述的確實是像鞋子形狀的物品，可不是所有鞋子的形狀都是一樣的。
【小題3】細節(jié)判斷。根據(jù)“Designers and researchers come here to look up information on anything and everything related to the subject of footwear.”中的“anything ”包含 data，故選D項。本題也可以用排除法解題�？催x項查細節(jié)進行排除，A .The oldest exhibits in Room 1 were made in the 1950s.原文是 started in the 1950s， started和made不相符排除；B.Room 2 is the most visited place in the museum.最高級出現(xiàn) the most visited place，回原文找到 visit 有關的詞只有 Most of our visitors are amazed and shocked，很可惜，沒有最高級，排除； C. Room 3 has a richer variety of exhibits than the other two.出現(xiàn)比較級 a richer variety than the other two,回原文找比較級修飾的詞variety. The variety is unbelievable.沒有比較級，排除。
【小題4】目的主旨。目的和主旨是分不開的，看首句 Welcome to one of the largest collections of footwear（鞋類）in the world 就知道這篇文章的目的是吸引游客了。

There is a lot of talk these days about how kids should be interested in science. Here’s an area of science for everyone, and these cool new books might inspire you to discover your inner scientist.
Scaly Spotted Feathered Frilled by Catherine Thimmesh, 58 pages, ages 9-12
Seeing a picture or a model of a dinosaur, do you wonder how anybody knows what they look like? After all, nobody has seen a living dinosaur. This book explains how scientists and artists work together to re-create dinosaurs. As scientific discoveries have been made, the models have changed. Scientific tests may one day expose what a dinosaur’s coloring was, but now artists have to use their imagination to determine how these huge creatures looked.
Beyond the Solar System by Mary Kay Carson, 128 pages, ages 10-13
This book takes readers back to the beginnings of space exploration—thousands of years ago, when people began star observation—and forward to today’s search for planets in distant parts of the Milky Way. Along with history lessons, readers get 21 activities, such as making a black hole and creating a model of Albert Einstein’s universe using a T-shirt. The activities are perfect for cold winter days.
Ultimate Bugopedia by Darlyne Murawski and Nancy Honovich, 272 pages, ages 7 and older
If you’re always on the lookout for butterflies, this book is for you. Hundreds of color photos of common and unusual insects fill this hardcover. There are fascinating stories related to the photos. For example, do you know an insect feeds on the tears of Asian cattle? There’s a question-and-answer section with an insect scientist and advice on how to help preserve endangered insects.
Journey Into the Invisible by Christine Schlitt, 80 pages, ages 9-12
If you use a magnifying（放大的）glass, you know a leaf looks quite different. This book explains what microscopes do and then shows what happens to things around the house when watched with this amazing scientific tool. The bacteria in your mouth, when magnified 20,000 times, look a bit like swimming pool noodles. Fascinating photos are paired with suggestions about how to learn about the world around you, just by looking a little closer.
