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!

4.C

【解析】

1.细节理解。在四个表格 中找到包含明星的，因为 room1 有个汉语注释“名人” ，最先注意到这一部分，细找会发现 from queens and presidents to pop stars and actors! 中提到的pop stars即 famous singer. 所以，答案选 A。

2.推理判断。先看选项，而选项中都有一个词 same,所以，题目目的明确：找每个房间的展品的共同点。找共同点最简单的方法首先就是找出相同的词，会发现，这四个表格无一例外的都有 shoe, 得出这之后，就要在 A、相同主题 B、相同形状，C、相同材质，D、相同社会群体中选择的。而从“shoe鞋”一词上无法体现出共有的形状材质和社会群体。所以，选择 A。本题干扰最强的是B选项。因为受 room3 中的 shoe shaped objects 干扰，这里描述的确实是像鞋子形状的物品，可不是所有鞋子的形状都是一样的。

3.细节判断。根据“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，故选D项。本题也可以用排除法解题。看选项查细节进行排除，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.最高级出现 the most visited place，回原文找到 visit 有关的词只有 Most of our visitors are amazed and shocked，很可惜，没有最高级，排除； C. Room 3 has a richer variety of exhibits than the other two.出现比较级 a richer variety than the other two,回原文找比较级修饰的词variety. The variety is unbelievable.没有比较级，排除。

4.目的主旨。目的和主旨是分不开的，看首句 Welcome to one of the largest collections of footwear（鞋类）in the world 就知道这篇文章的目的是吸引游客了。
