【单选题】In department stores and closets all over the world, they are walking. Their outward appearance seems rather appealing because they come in a variety of styles, textures, and colors.But they are ultimately the biggest deception that exists in the fashion industry today. What are they They are high heels—a woman’s worst enemy (whether she knows it or not). High heel shoes are the downfall of modern society. Fashion myths have led women to believe that they are more beautiful or sophisticated for wearing heels, but in reality, heels succeed in posing short as well as long term hardships. Women should fight the high heel industry by refusing to use or purchase them in order to save the world from unnecessary physical and psychological suffering.
For the sake of fairness, it must be noted that there is a positive side to high heels. First, heels are excellent for aerating (使通气) lawns.Anyone who has ever worn heels on grass knows what I am talking about.A、simple trip around the yard in a pair of those babies eliminates all need to call for a lawn care specialist, and provides the perfect-sized holes to give any lawn oxygen without all those messy chunks of dirt lying arounD、Second, heels are quite functional for defense against oncoming enemies, who can easily be seared away by threatening them with a pair of these sharp, deadly fashion accessories.
Regardless of such practical uses for heels, the fact remains that wearing high heels is harmful to one’s physical health. Talk to any podiatrist (足病医生), and you will hear that the majority of their business comes from high-heel-wearing women. High heels are known to cause problems such as deformed feet and torn toe-nails. The risk of severe back problems and twisted or broken ankles is three times higher for a high heel wearer than for a flat shoe wearer. Wearing heels also creates the threat of getting a heel caught in a sidewalk crack or a sewer-grate (阴沟栅) and being thrown to the ground—possibly breaking a nose, back, or neck.And of course, after wearing heels for a day, any woman knows she can look forward to a night of pain as she tries to comfort her swollen, aching feet.
The author’s presentation of the positive side of high heels is meant ______.
A、to be ironicB、to poke fun at women
C、to be fair to the fashion industryD、to make his point convincing
网考网参考答案：A
网考网解析：
[解析] 态度性问题。ironic是个超纲词，但我们知道irony的意思是n. “反语；嘲弄”。poke fun at是个短语，意为“拿……开玩笑，取笑”。D项意为“支持他的论点”，显然不对，因为作者的论点是高跟鞋有害，the positive side of high heels当然不会支持这种论点；选择C项的考生显然是仅从字面上来理解文章中“For the sake of fairness(为了公平起见)”的意思；文章是批评高跟鞋的危害的，而不是批评妇女，所以B项也不对。 document.getElementById("warp").style.display="none"; document.getElementById("content").style.display="block"; 查看试题解析出处>>
