7．Reseachers at the University of Kansas say that people can accurately juage 90 percent of a stranger's personality simply by looking at the person's shoes．"Shoes convey useful information about their wearers，"the authors wrote in the new study published in the Journal of Research in Personality．
Lead researcher Omri Gillath said the judgments were based on the style，cost，color and condition of someone's shoes．In the study，63 University of Kansas researchers looked at pictures showing 208 different pairs of shoes worn by the study's participants．Volunteers in the study were photographed in their most commonly worn shoes，and then filled out a personality questionnaire．
Some of the results were expected：People with higher incomes most commonly wore expensive shoes，and flashier shoes were typically worn by outgoing people．However，some of the more specific results are strange enough．For example，"practical and functional''shoes were generally worn by more"pleasant"people，while ankle boots were more linked with‘‘a(chǎn)ggressive''personalities．The strangest of all may be that those who wore‘‘uncomfortable looking"shoes tend to have"calm"personalities．And if you have several pairs of new shoes or take extreme care of them，you may suffer from"attachment anxiety"，spending lots of time worrying about what other people think of your appearance．There was even a political calculation in the mix with more liberal（主張變革的）types wearing"shabbier and less expensire"shoes．
The researchers noted that some people will choose shoe styles to mask their actual personalities，but researchers noted that volunteers were also likely to be unaware that their footwear choices were showing the deep side of their personalities．

分析 本文是一篇說明文．主要介紹了一項新的調(diào)查結(jié)果，研究表明根據(jù)一個人的鞋子可以判斷一個人，甚至是陌生人的性格，準(zhǔn)確率能達(dá)到90%．研究人員指出有些研究結(jié)果是在意料之內(nèi)的，而有些結(jié)果是出乎人們意料的．比如穿實用性鞋子的人一般具有令人愉快的性格，而穿及踝短靴的人卻往往具有攻擊性的性格．
解答 61．C 主旨大意題．根據(jù)文章第一段中"Shoes convey useful information about their wearers"，然后對調(diào)查活動進(jìn)行詳細(xì)的介紹，最后一段"their footwear choices were showing the deep side of their personalities"通過進(jìn)一步印證中心，因此文章主要講述的是人們所穿的鞋子能反映出人的性格，故選C．
62．A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)文章第二段"researchers looked at pictures showing 208 different pairs of shoes worn by the study's participants"以及"Volunteers in the study were photographed in their most commonly worn shoes"可知，參與調(diào)查的人們要求提供他們鞋子的照片，故選A．
63．C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)文章第三段"However，some of the more specific results are strange enough．For example…..ankle boots were more linked with‘‘a(chǎn)ggressive''personalities．"可知，穿及踝短靴的人更具有攻擊性是出乎人們意料的，故選C．
64．B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)文章第三段"…..you may suffer from"attachment anxiety"，spending lots of time worrying about what other people think of your appearance．"可知，患有'attachment anxiety‘的人們，會更擔(dān)心他們的外表，故選B．
65．A 推理判斷題．縱觀全文，講述的是根據(jù)鞋子來判斷人性格的一項調(diào)查，文章開頭提出中心，然后在下文進(jìn)行詳細(xì)介紹，由此可知，作者的寫作目的是給人們介紹一項新的調(diào)查結(jié)果，故選A．
點評 解答細(xì)節(jié)理解題時，一個常用的方法就是運用定位法，即根據(jù)題干和選項中的關(guān)鍵詞從原文中找到相關(guān)的句子，與選項進(jìn)行比較從而確定答案；推理判斷題既要求學(xué)生透過文章表面文字信息推測文章隱含意思，又要求學(xué)生對作者的態(tài)度、意圖及文章細(xì)節(jié)的發(fā)展作正確的推理判斷，力求從作者的角度去考慮，不要固守自己的看法或觀點．
