UGG boots have been a winter-weather fashion for several years now, bining function, fort, warmth and even some style. What many UGG-enthusiasts don’t know is that their boots are a breeding ground for bacteria and cause foot problems.
Doctors believe the boots, which are particularly popular among young teenage girls, are leading to a rise in the number of people suffering pains in their feet and knees.
Dr. Ian Drysdale，head of the British College of Osteopathic Medicine，believes because the foot does not get the proper support on the inside，it will lead to more ankle，knee，hip and back problems. “These boots are not designed for outside wear. Just because something bees a trend or fashionable doesn’t mean it’s good or right，” he said, “The particular problem with this type of footwear is that it is unsupported. It’s a slipper. You wouldn’t normally expect to be doing outdoor activities from something that’s indoor. If you decide to wear your pajamas outside all. the time, someone will e up and say it’s not a good idea. ” Dr. Drysdale explained that the feet issues bee a particular problem among young teenage girls，whose bones are “ plastic ” and developing when they are growing. “ If that structure is developing in an inappropriate way,” he said, “then the ultimate structure will be deformed ”
Mike 0，NeiU, a consultant surgeon, said, “As the foot slides around, you get wear and tear (磨损）on the joints on the inside of the foot The ankle is m the wrong position, the thigh bone also changes position, and you get an abnormal movement in the pelvis, which leads to back problems. ”
UGG AustraUa9 who makes the designer version of the boots, told The Daily Mirror that their boots are “fort” rather than “performance” footwear and consumers should be aware of “knockoffs”（仿制品)which lack reinforced heels in their boots.

(答案→)C
解析：说明本文讲述的是UGG这种鞋子给穿着的人带来的负面问题，文章中对此进行了详细地分析说明。
【小题1】C 细节题。根据第一段1,2行UGG boots have been a winter-weather fashion for several years now, bining function, fort, warmth and even some style.说明ABD三项都是UGG鞋子的特点，只有C项不是。故C项符合题目要求。
【小题2】C 推理题。根据文章8-12行“These boots are not designed for outside wear. Just because something bees a trend or fashionable doesn’t mean it’s good or right，” he said, “The particular problem with this type of footwear is that it is unsupported. It’s a slipper. You wouldn’t normally expect to be doing outdoor activities from something that’s indoor.说明这种鞋子并不适合在户外活动，容易对人的脚踝或者关节产生影响，故C正确。
【小题3】D 推理题。根据第一段最后一句“ If that structure is developing in an inappropriate way,” he said, “then the ultimate structure will be deformed ”说明如果我们总是穿UGG的鞋子在外面活动，我们是在使用一种不恰当的方式，会对我们的腿部乃至脚部产生破坏作用。故该词是指damage，故D正确。
【小题4】A 主旨大意题。根据本文前3行UGG boots have been a winter-weather fashion for several years now, bining function, fort, warmth and even some style. What many UGG-enthusiasts don’t know is that their boots are a breeding ground for bacteria and cause foot problems.说明本文讲述的是UGG这种鞋子给穿着的人带来的负面问题，故A正确。
