Question

【題目】 The British artist Dominic Wilcox has created a pair of shoes, which can lead you home no matter where you are in the world. He thought about the fairy tale The Wizard of Oz and how Dorothy could click her shoes to go home. So he decided to make a pair of shoes that could take you home with a click of heels. The shoes can point the way with GPS and clever LEDs(發(fā)光二極管).Wilcox worked with another artist and a shoemaker to produce what he calls the “No Place Like Home” shoes.

One of the “No Place Like Home” shoes has a GPS unit inside the heel of the left shoe. It communicates wirelessly(無線方式)with the right shoe and provides data to the LED lights. The LEDs on the left toe point the person in the right direction while those on the right toe show how much of the journey still remains.

It may be an art project. There’s only one pair, but it’s not hard to imagine a similar, more everyday pair of shoes for children, old people or those who always lose their ways in the future.

Now, this pair of shoes are on show in London.

【解析】

文章大意：文章主要介紹的是英國藝術(shù)家Dominic Wilcox創(chuàng)作的鞋子。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段倒數(shù)第一、二行Wilcox worked with another artist and a shoemaker to produce what he calls the “No Place Like Home” shoes.“威爾科克斯與另一位藝術(shù)家和一位鞋匠合作，制作了一雙他稱之為“家無處可去”的鞋子�！� artist and a shoemaker意為“藝術(shù)家和一個鞋匠”，故填artist and a shoemaker。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段第一行One of the “No Place Like Home” shoes has a GPS unit inside the heel of the left shoe.“其中一個“沒有地方像家一樣”的鞋子在左腳的鞋跟里有一個GPS裝置”，故填a GPS。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段第一行There’s only one pair“只有一雙”，故填Only one pair。

【4】主旨大意題。文章主要介紹的是英國藝術(shù)家Dominic Wilcox創(chuàng)作的鞋子。所以主題句是文章的第一句話，故填The British artist Dominic Wilcox has created a pair of shoes。

【5】Now“現(xiàn)在”，this pair of shoes“這雙鞋”，on show“在展出”，in London“在倫敦”，故填現(xiàn)在這雙鞋正在倫敦展出。
