Ⅲ．阅读理解
With smart technology increasingly influencing all aspects of our lives, it is only a matter of time before someone invents smart shoes—ones that can be made based on personal needs．Called “ShiftWear”， the sneakers are the brainchild of a team of businessmen, and engineers led by New York-based designer David Coelho．
The adaptable shoes can be customized by using a smart phone app．Shoe owners will have the option of selecting a design from a variety of HD patterns by famous artists or creating one themselves．The company's founders imagine the marketplace where artists can not only share but also sell their designs to others．Despite being electronic, the designs are clearly visible even in the brightest sunlight．What's even cooler is that by switching on backlight, users can even show their designs in the dark!
According to Coelho, the sneakers will keep their charge forever if only images are displayed．Though they will need periodic recharging, active users have nothing to worry about．That's because the shoes are equipped with special WalkNCharge technology that powers the shoes—with every step．Inactive users also have options of charging the sneakers without using wires．
The bottom part of the shoes is covered with Kevlar fibers, a kind of strong material, reducing normal wear and tear．Even better, they are completely waterproof (防水的) and can even be thrown into an ordinary laundry machine for a quick wash! The company predicts that the shoes will range in price from $150 to $1，000 depending on the size of the EPanels where the designs are displayed．
This is not the first time that electronics and shoes have combined．Lithuaniabased iShuh Technologies has come up with a similar concept that connects ereader panels to a smart phone app via the Bluetooth．Whether these smart shoes become as popular as our smart devices remains to be seen, though they surely are attractive．
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种智能运动鞋。

A．The electronic designs can not be seen clearly at night．
B．The designers make sure every pair of sneakers is unique．
C．The bottom part of the shoes can last longer due to special materials．
D．The shoes have to be washed by hand to protect the electronics．
C [细节理解题。根据第四段第一句“The bottom part of the shoes is covered with Kevlar fibers, a kind of strong material, reducing normal wear and tear．”可知，鞋子的底部附着凯芙拉合成纤维，这是一种增强材料，可以减少正常的磨损；据此可知，由于使用了特殊的材料，这种鞋子的鞋底耐磨，故C项正确。]
2．What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about
A．How the sneakers are charged．
B．How the sneakers can work well．
C．What images the sneakers show．
D．What technology the sneakers carry．
A [段落大意题。通读第三段可知，第一句“According to Coelho, the sneakers will keep their charge forever if only images are displayed．”为该段的主题句，结合全段内容可知，该段主要介绍了这种鞋子是如何充电的：活跃的用户可以通过走路来充电，不活跃的用户也可以不用电线充电，故A项正确。]
3．The varied prices of the sneakers mainly depend on ．

4．How does the author feel about the sneakers' future market
A．Negative． B．Anxious．
C．Uncertain． D．Confident．
C [观点态度题。根据尾段最后一句“Whether these smart shoes become as popular as our smart devices remains to be seen, though they surely are attractive．”可知，尽管这些智能鞋子很有吸引力，但是它们是否会像我们的智能设备一样流行还有待观察；据此可推知，作者对这种鞋子的未来并不确定，故C项正确。]
