Are You Listening to What Your Heart Is Telling You?
Wearable technology is getting a lot of attention these days. These devices are becoming increasingly more integrated into our daily lives and are providing new insights into our personal activity and fitness levels. According to IDC Research, the worldwide wearables market will reach 45.7 million units shipped by the end of 2015 and 126.1 million units in 2019.
To date, the vast majority of that growth has been in basic activity trackers like the Fitbit One and the Jawbone UP that use an accelerometer (加速计) to measure movement and translate those measurements into estimates of step counts, calories burned, distance travelled and other metrics (度量标准). However, these devices won’t tell you how your body responded to that movement. In other words, while an activity tracker can estimate that you’ve taken 10,000 steps in a day, it can’t tell you how hard your body worked to take those 10,000 steps or how your body recovered from that effort. Measurements of both physical activity and the body’s response to physical activity are important components in determining whether you’re actually improving your health and fitness.
This can be explained by what exercise scientists refer to as workload. Workload is defined as the amount of time spent doing an activity or workout multiplied by the intensity of that activity. For example, to burn approximately 400 calories you can work out for an hour at low intensity or work out for 20 minutes at very high intensity. This may seem obvious, but while basic activity trackers can be good at measuring how many steps you’ve taken, they are incapable of telling you how your body actually responded to those steps. The best way to quantify your body’s true response to workload is by continuously and accurately measuring heart rate.
With accurate information about your workloads and level of effort you are on your way to getting much better insight into your health and fitness. For example, with training you will start to see improvements in your cardiac efficiency (心效率). This is why more companies are adding continuous heart rate monitoring to their next-gen wearable products. You can expect to see this trend continue as consumers get more value from the powerful insights that accurate heart rate data can provide.
58. What does the author mainly talk about in Paragraph 2?
A. The disadvantages of basic activity trackers.
B. The metrics of future wearable technology.
C. The growth in wearable devices.
D. Important physical activities.
59. According to the passage, the next-gen wearable products will be better than basic activity trackers in that ___________.
A. they are like the Fitbit One and the Jawbone UP
B. they are good at measuring your physical activity
C. they are likely to have a sensor monitoring heart rate
D. they are able to estimate step counts, calories burned and distance travelled
60. In which column of the newspaper can this passage most probably be found?
A. Advertisement. B. Finance. C. Medicine. D. Science.
C
Oliver Twist was born in a workhouse, and when he arrived in this hard world, it was very doubtful whether he would live beyond the first three minutes. He lay on a hard little bed and struggled to start breathing.
Oliver fought his first battle without much assistance from the two people present at his birth. One was an old woman, who was nearly always drunk, and the other was a busy local doctor, who was not paid enough to be very interested in Oliver’s survival. ____________________.
However, Oliver managed to draw his first breath, and then announced his arrival to the rest of the workhouse by crying loudly. His mother raised her pale young face from the pillow and whispered, “Let me see the child, and die.”
The doctor turned away from the fire, where he had been warming his hands. “You must not talk about dying yet,” he said to her kindly. He gave her the child to hold. Lovingly, she kissed the baby on its forehead with her cold white lips, then stared wildly around the room, fell back—and died. “Poor dear!” said the nurse, hurriedly putting a green glass bottle back in the pocket of her long skirt.
The doctor began to put on his coat. “The baby is weak and will probably have difficulties,” he said. “If so, give it a little milk to keep it quiet.” Then he looked at the dead woman. “The mother was a good-looking girl. Where did she come from?”
“She was brought here last night,” replied the old woman. “She was found lying in the street. She’d walked some distance, judging by her shoes, which were worn to pieces. Where she came from, where she was going to, or what her name was, nobody knows.”
The doctor lifted the girl’s left hand. “The old story,” he said sadly, shaking his head. “No wedding ring, I see. Ah! Good night.”
And so Oliver was left with only the drunken nurse. Without clothes, under his first blanket, he could have been the child of a king or a beggar. But when the woman dressed him later in rough cotton clothes, yellow with age, he looked exactly what he was—an orphan in a workhouse, ready for a life of misery, hunger, and neglect.
Oliver cried loudly. If he could have known that he was a workhouse orphan, perhaps he would have cried even more loudly.
There was no one to look after the baby in the workhouse, so Oliver was sent to a special “baby farm” nearby. There, he and thirty other children rolled around the floor all day, without the inconvenience of too much food or too much clothing. Mrs Mann, the old woman who “looked after” them, was very experienced. She knew what was good for children, and a full stomach was very dangerous to their health. She also knew what was good for herself, so she kept for her own use the money that she was given for the children’s food. The board responsible for the orphans sometimes checked on the health of the children, but they always sent the beadle, a kind of local policeman, to announce their visit the day before. So whenever the board arrived, of course, the children were always neat and clean.
This was the way Oliver was brought up. Consequently, at the age of nine he was a pale, thin child and short for his age. But despite frequent beatings by Mrs Mann, his spirit was strong, which was probably the reason why he managed to reach the age of nine at all.
On Oliver’s ninth birthday, Mr Bumble, the beadle, came to the house to see Mrs Mann. Through the front window Mrs Mann saw him at the gate, and turned quickly to the girl who worked with her.
“Quick! Take Oliver and those others upstairs to be washed!” she said. Then she ran out to unlock the gate which was always kept locked.
61. According to the passage, a workhouse was where ________.
A. many women died unexpectedly B. workers helped each other
C. the poor and homeless lived D. people were only interested in money
62. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. Oliver was born into the world on a cold day.
B. Many people, especially women, drank heavily at that time.
C. The children in the baby farm were taken good care of.
D. Doctors were usually paid too little for the work they did.
63. Which sentence is most suitable for the blank in Paragraph 2?
A. Therefore, he felt very lonely in the world.
B. Frightened at the sight of the two, he started to cry.
C. After all, death was a common event in the workhouse.
D. In fact, the world was privileged to have him in it.
64. It can be inferred that the gate of the baby farm was always kept locked in order to ________.
A. protect the children inside from dangers outside
B. prevent official visitors walking in unexpectedly
C. keep the children inside working all the time
D. ensure the children were always neat and clean
65. According to the passage, Mrs Mann ________.
A. was mad keen on looking after children
B. provided children with little food and few comforts
C. beat children frequently to make them mentally strong
D. cared little about Mr Bumble’s abrupt appearance
II卷（非选择题 共45分）
一、任务型阅读?（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）
请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填1个单词。
There's a huge power in knowing how to make adjustments（调整，调节） in life. In fact, it's possible to turn failure into success by making the right adjustments. The trick is in knowing where the adjustment is needed and how much.
We call people who have the ability to make the best life adjustments happy. And on the other hand we call people who refuse or neglect to make adjustments sador confused.
Whatever your stage in life, age or financial (经济的) level, everyone will face what I call the?3 C's. The?3 C's are changes, challenges and choices. The person who handles the?3 C's the best we call happy and well adjusted.
One obstacle many people trip over is assuming money will help them make the best life adjustments. Wrong! It may help in some ways, but even money won't help unless you have the knowledge and put in the effort. For instance, it is not hard to find wealthy people who find it hard to deal with the challenges, changes and choices of life.
So, what's one of the key factors of people who fail to live up to their potential(潜力)? They fail to make life adjustments when faced with changes, challenges or choices.
Here are?3 simple but powerful tips to help you make effective life adjustments when faced with the?3 C's or changes, challenges and choices.
Learn To Think With Your Eyes And Ears
When you learn how to think with your eyes we call that observation and when you learn how to think with your ears we call that hearing. Most people see but few people know how to observe. The difference between seeing and observing is like the difference between reading and studying.
The same goes with listening. It only requires ears to hear, but it often takes awareness and thought to listen. One factor in helping you to listen better is to hear not only what people say but what they don't say. Reading body language and voice change can help you listen between the lines. All these play an effective role in helping you to think with your eyes and ears.
Learn To Go With The Flow
The people who learn to make the best life adjustments develop the habit of going with the flow. For example, they refuse to worry too much about the small affairs and remain flexible to life changes. The best way to do that is to trust your instincts(直觉). The more you do that, the more they will work for you.
Worry tends to ruin your God-given instincts. Notice people who can go with the flow and you'll find?a person with sharp instincts.
Be Prepared For Changes, Challenges And Choices
If you can keep an attitude of preparation you'll have the best chance of making effective life adjustments. What kind? The kind that can see you through problems, setbacks and challenges.
As the saying goes, “If you stay ready, you don't have to get ready.” That's the best advice for anyone who wants to make the best life adjustments and win!

书面表达
As we can see from the picture, an older person and a young man are both absorbed in reading, but in completely different ways: one from books, the other on the mobile.
This picture vividly delivers a message to us that some people prefer to read electronic books while others hold on to the traditional way of reading. One dominating factor accounting for the phenomenon is that the rapid development of our society makes it possible for the majority of people to have access to e-products. What’s more, some people turn to e-products simply for the benefit of convenience.
As for me, I would rather choose the former, for some obvious reasons. To begin with, if we read electronic books, a lot of paper would be saved. More importantly, electronic books allow me to gain knowledge whenever and wherever I am, which saves a lot of time that would otherwise be wasted.

We use all sorts of services without thinking how we get them, but such services cost money. We pay for them through taxes. What would happen if everyone in the city stopped paying taxes? The water supply would stop. The street might not be cleaned. There would be no police to protect people and possessions.
The chief duty of every government is to protect people and possessions. More than three fourths of money spent by our government is used for this purpose. The next largest amount of public money goes to teach and train our citizens. Billions of dollars each year are spent on schools and libraries. Public money is used to pay the teachers and other public officials.
Years ago, the government made money from the sale of public lands, but most of best public lands have now been sold. The money raised was used to help pay the cost of government. There are still some public lands that contain oil, coal, gas and other natural products. They could be sold, but we want to save them for future years. So we must all pay our share for the services that make our life comfortable.

Are You Listening to What Your Heart Is Telling You?
Wearable technology is getting a lot of attention these days. These devices are becoming increasingly more integrated into our daily lives and are providing new insights into our personal activity and fitness levels. According to IDC Research, the worldwide wearables market will reach 45.7 million units shipped by the end of 2015 and 126.1 million units in 2019.
To date, the vast majority of that growth has been in basic activity trackers like the Fitbit One and the Jawbone UP that use an accelerometer (加速计) to measure movement and translate those measurements into estimates of step counts, calories burned, distance travelled and other metrics (度量标准). However, these devices won’t tell you how your body responded to that movement. In other words, while an activity tracker can estimate that you’ve taken 10,000 steps in a day, it can’t tell you how hard your body worked to take those 10,000 steps or how your body recovered from that effort. Measurements of both physical activity and the body’s response to physical activity are important components in determining whether you’re actually improving your health and fitness.
This can be explained by what exercise scientists refer to as workload. Workload is defined as the amount of time spent doing an activity or workout multiplied by the intensity of that activity. For example, to burn approximately 400 calories you can work out for an hour at low intensity or work out for 20 minutes at very high intensity. This may seem obvious, but while basic activity trackers can be good at measuring how many steps you’ve taken, they are incapable of telling you how your body actually responded to those steps. The best way to quantify your body’s true response to workload is by continuously and accurately measuring heart rate.
With accurate information about your workloads and level of effort you are on your way to getting much better insight into your health and fitness. For example, with training you will start to see improvements in your cardiac efficiency (心效率). This is why more companies are adding continuous heart rate monitoring to their next-gen wearable products. You can expect to see this trend continue as consumers get more value from the powerful insights that accurate heart rate data can provide.
58. What does the author mainly talk about in Paragraph 2?
A. The disadvantages of basic activity trackers.
B. The metrics of future wearable technology.
C. The growth in wearable devices.
D. Important physical activities.
59. According to the passage, the next-gen wearable products will be better than basic activity trackers in that ___________.
A. they are like the Fitbit One and the Jawbone UP
B. they are good at measuring your physical activity
C. they are likely to have a sensor monitoring heart rate
D. they are able to estimate step counts, calories burned and distance travelled
60. In which column of the newspaper can this passage most probably be found?
A. Advertisement. B. Finance. C. Medicine. D. Science.
C
Oliver Twist was born in a workhouse, and when he arrived in this hard world, it was very doubtful whether he would live beyond the first three minutes. He lay on a hard little bed and struggled to start breathing.
Oliver fought his first battle without much assistance from the two people present at his birth. One was an old woman, who was nearly always drunk, and the other was a busy local doctor, who was not paid enough to be very interested in Oliver’s survival. ____________________.
However, Oliver managed to draw his first breath, and then announced his arrival to the rest of the workhouse by crying loudly. His mother raised her pale young face from the pillow and whispered, “Let me see the child, and die.”
The doctor turned away from the fire, where he had been warming his hands. “You must not talk about dying yet,” he said to her kindly. He gave her the child to hold. Lovingly, she kissed the baby on its forehead with her cold white lips, then stared wildly around the room, fell back—and died. “Poor dear!” said the nurse, hurriedly putting a green glass bottle back in the pocket of her long skirt.
The doctor began to put on his coat. “The baby is weak and will probably have difficulties,” he said. “If so, give it a little milk to keep it quiet.” Then he looked at the dead woman. “The mother was a good-looking girl. Where did she come from?”
“She was brought here last night,” replied the old woman. “She was found lying in the street. She’d walked some distance, judging by her shoes, which were worn to pieces. Where she came from, where she was going to, or what her name was, nobody knows.”
The doctor lifted the girl’s left hand. “The old story,” he said sadly, shaking his head. “No wedding ring, I see. Ah! Good night.”
And so Oliver was left with only the drunken nurse. Without clothes, under his first blanket, he could have been the child of a king or a beggar. But when the woman dressed him later in rough cotton clothes, yellow with age, he looked exactly what he was—an orphan in a workhouse, ready for a life of misery, hunger, and neglect.
Oliver cried loudly. If he could have known that he was a workhouse orphan, perhaps he would have cried even more loudly.
There was no one to look after the baby in the workhouse, so Oliver was sent to a special “baby farm” nearby. There, he and thirty other children rolled around the floor all day, without the inconvenience of too much food or too much clothing. Mrs Mann, the old woman who “looked after” them, was very experienced. She knew what was good for children, and a full stomach was very dangerous to their health. She also knew what was good for herself, so she kept for her own use the money that she was given for the children’s food. The board responsible for the orphans sometimes checked on the health of the children, but they always sent the beadle, a kind of local policeman, to announce their visit the day before. So whenever the board arrived, of course, the children were always neat and clean.
This was the way Oliver was brought up. Consequently, at the age of nine he was a pale, thin child and short for his age. But despite frequent beatings by Mrs Mann, his spirit was strong, which was probably the reason why he managed to reach the age of nine at all.
On Oliver’s ninth birthday, Mr Bumble, the beadle, came to the house to see Mrs Mann. Through the front window Mrs Mann saw him at the gate, and turned quickly to the girl who worked with her.
“Quick! Take Oliver and those others upstairs to be washed!” she said. Then she ran out to unlock the gate which was always kept locked.
61. According to the passage, a workhouse was where ________.
A. many women died unexpectedly B. workers helped each other
C. the poor and homeless lived D. people were only interested in money
62. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. Oliver was born into the world on a cold day.
B. Many people, especially women, drank heavily at that time.
C. The children in the baby farm were taken good care of.
D. Doctors were usually paid too little for the work they did.
63. Which sentence is most suitable for the blank in Paragraph 2?
A. Therefore, he felt very lonely in the world.
B. Frightened at the sight of the two, he started to cry.
C. After all, death was a common event in the workhouse.
D. In fact, the world was privileged to have him in it.
64. It can be inferred that the gate of the baby farm was always kept locked in order to ________.
A. protect the children inside from dangers outside
B. prevent official visitors walking in unexpectedly
C. keep the children inside working all the time
D. ensure the children were always neat and clean
65. According to the passage, Mrs Mann ________.
A. was mad keen on looking after children
B. provided children with little food and few comforts
C. beat children frequently to make them mentally strong
D. cared little about Mr Bumble’s abrupt appearance

There's a huge power in knowing how to make adjustments（调整，调节） in life. In fact, it's possible to turn failure into success by making the right adjustments. The trick is in knowing where the adjustment is needed and how much.
We call people who have the ability to make the best life adjustments happy. And on the other hand we call people who refuse or neglect to make adjustments sador confused.
Whatever your stage in life, age or financial (经济的) level, everyone will face what I call the?3 C's. The?3 C's are changes, challenges and choices. The person who handles the?3 C's the best we call happy and well adjusted.
One obstacle many people trip over is assuming money will help them make the best life adjustments. Wrong! It may help in some ways, but even money won't help unless you have the knowledge and put in the effort. For instance, it is not hard to find wealthy people who find it hard to deal with the challenges, changes and choices of life.
So, what's one of the key factors of people who fail to live up to their potential(潜力)? They fail to make life adjustments when faced with changes, challenges or choices.
Here are?3 simple but powerful tips to help you make effective life adjustments when faced with the?3 C's or changes, challenges and choices.
Learn To Think With Your Eyes And Ears
When you learn how to think with your eyes we call that observation and when you learn how to think with your ears we call that hearing. Most people see but few people know how to observe. The difference between seeing and observing is like the difference between reading and studying.
The same goes with listening. It only requires ears to hear, but it often takes awareness and thought to listen. One factor in helping you to listen better is to hear not only what people say but what they don't say. Reading body language and voice change can help you listen between the lines. All these play an effective role in helping you to think with your eyes and ears.
Learn To Go With The Flow
The people who learn to make the best life adjustments develop the habit of going with the flow. For example, they refuse to worry too much about the small affairs and remain flexible to life changes. The best way to do that is to trust your instincts(直觉). The more you do that, the more they will work for you.

As we can see from the picture, an older person and a young man are both absorbed in reading, but in completely different ways: one from books, the other on the mobile.
This picture vividly delivers a message to us that some people prefer to read electronic books while others hold on to the traditional way of reading. One dominating factor accounting for the phenomenon is that the rapid development of our society makes it possible for the majority of people to have access to e-products. What’s more, some people turn to e-products simply for the benefit of convenience.
As for me, I would rather choose the former, for some obvious reasons. To begin with, if we read electronic books, a lot of paper would be saved. More importantly, electronic books allow me to gain knowledge whenever and wherever I am, which saves a lot of time that would otherwise be wasted.

We use all sorts of services without thinking how we get them, but such services cost money. We pay for them through taxes. What would happen if everyone in the city stopped paying taxes? The water supply would stop. The street might not be cleaned. There would be no police to protect people and possessions.
The chief duty of every government is to protect people and possessions. More than three fourths of money spent by our government is used for this purpose. The next largest amount of public money goes to teach and train our citizens. Billions of dollars each year are spent on schools and libraries. Public money is used to pay the teachers and other public officials.
Years ago, the government made money from the sale of public lands, but most of best public lands have now been sold. The money raised was used to help pay the cost of government. There are still some public lands that contain oil, coal, gas and other natural products. They could be sold, but we want to save them for future years. So we must all pay our share for the services that make our life comfortable.
