29、ning shoes,” advises Stephen Pribut, a US sports medicine expert. Running shoes are highly technical footwear. They provide stability while bearing up to three times the wearers body weight. But its not easy to find the right pair. Finding the right running shoes is something of an art, or a science
30、 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
31、 shape looks more like a rectangle, that means you have flat feet. See something in between? Thats 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
32、). So you will 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 its not at the forefoot-where the foot actually bends, be afraid
33、. Then you grip both ends and twist in opposite directions. If you can twist it like a towel, it means theres zero support. Finally, you squeeze the heel in both directions. A stable heel wont cave in.Now you need to check the mold that shapes the inside of the shoe: whether its wide or narrow in th
34、e mid-foot, how it sits on the heel and how roomy the toe box is.Its wise to hold off until the afternoon to make the shoe purchase, to allow for any swelling that your feet do throughout the day. Toes also decide sizing choice. The rule is you need a fingers width from your longest toe (whether tha
35、ts your big one or not) to the end of the shoe.39. 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.C. Advice on how to choose the right pair of running shoes.D. Best time to buy a pair of running
36、 shoes.40. If the arch of your foot looks like a “C” shape, you have _.A. a normal arch B. a high arch C. a flat arch D. a low arch41. The underlined phrase “cave in” most probably means _.A. bend B. stretch C. shake D. crashKeys: 1-10: CACCA, DBDDA 11-20: ABADD, BCAAB 21-30: DCADB, DDCAD31-41：ACDBD, CDDCB, A版权所有：高考资源网()版权所有：高考资源网()高考资源网版权所有 侵权必究
