Ⅰ．阅读理解(共4小题；每小题2.5分，满分10分)
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 smartphone 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．Lithuania-based iShuh Technology has come up with a similar concept that connects e-reader panels to a smartphone app via the Bluetooth．Whether these smart shoes become as popular as our smart devices remains to be seen，though they surely are attractive．
1．What can we know about the smart shoes from the text
A．The electronic designs cannot 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．
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．
3．The varied prices of the sneakers mainly depend on ________．
A．the length of the shoes
B．the size of their EPanels
C．the designers of the shoes
D．the material of their bottoms
4．How does the author feel about the sneakers' future market
A．Negative． B．Anxious．
C．Uncertain． D．Confident．
Ⅱ．阅读七选五(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
In a world ruled by hard exercise and complex fitness programs，the simple act of walking is often ignored(忽略)． 1 It offers physical and mental benefits that lead to total happiness．
Heart Health and Weight Management

Joint(关节) Health and Free Movement
Unlike active sports，walking is soft on the joints，making it a perfect choice for people of all ages and fitness levels． 4 At the same time，it also raises the ability to move freely and easily．Walking regularly can be particularly beneficial to those recovering from pain or looking to prevent problems with joints．
