11.Why do some clothes fit us and some don't?It became clear to Louise Wannier in a fashion design class."We were learning to draw body proportions (比例) just from one model,"Wannier,53,says."Since women come in all sizes and shapes,I asked the teacher when we would learn about other body proportions.And she said,‘We don't.There are 5,000designers,and each one designs only for his own model.'"
Suddenly,Wannier understood why fitting rooms(试衣间) everywhere are full of frustrated women."I knew right then that there was a business in helping women quickly find clothes for their shape and that it needed to be online."
Wannier,who had already started two successful technology companies,rushed home to begin working on the idea.Two years later,in October 2006,she set up myshape.com.Customers go online to enter their measurements and are given one of seven body types based on their body proportions.
Seeing models of various shapes and sizes,many businessmen were impressed with Wannier's idea and put up 32million,helping her develop the business plan.
Once Wannier set up an online survey for potential customers.Within 24hours,she got over 700responses (响应) and a third of them signed up."We were astonished,"recalls Wannier."It made us believe there was really a demand."
Today,with 700,000customers and 300designers,the site has proved its usefulness."For some weeks,"says Wannier,"we get 100-percent customer satisfaction.And designers are very happy:they get a new channel to sell their products and more customers."
While My Shape continues to sign up customers and designers,the company isn't yet profitable (盈利的)."We just get one percent of the price of the clothes,"says Wannier."In order to make money,we have to attract more customers that will come back again and again."
4.How do designers usually design clothes?B
A.They design according to fixed body proportions.
B.They design only with their own models.
C.They draw sketches of all shapes and sizes.
D.They design based on proportions given online.
5.Most women are frustrated in fitting rooms becauseC.
A.they don't know their body proportions
B.clothes in the shop are too expensive
C.they can't find clothes for their shape
D.clothes in the shop are very small
6.Which is the correct order for the following events about Wannier?C
a.She attended a fashion design class.
b.She started a technology company.
c.She got 32million to support her business plan.
d.She launched myshape.com.
A.abcd
B.bacd
C.badc
D.acbd
7.The text is mainly aboutA.
A.Wannier and her myshape.com
B.how to design clothes
C.how to be a good designer
D.Wannier's fashion design class.

分析 本文属于说明文阅读,作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了Wannier先创办了一家科技公司,参加了时装设计班,从中得到设计者总是按自己的模型设计导致顾客难以购买衣服的启示,最后推出了myshape.com.

解答 4.B.细节理解题.根据文章第一段"We don't.There are 5,000designers,and each one designs only for his own model"可知设计师通常只设计自己的模型;故选B.

6.C.细节理解题.根据文章第三段"Wannier,who had already started two successful technology companies,rushed home to begin working on the idea.Two years later,in October 2006,she set up myshape.com.Customers go online to enter their measurements and are given one of seven body types based on their body proportions"可知Wannier先创办了一家科技公司,参加了时装设计班,有32million支持她的商业计划,最后推出了myshape.com;故选C.

1.As people slowly learn to cure diseases,control floods,prevent hunger,and stop wars,fewer people die every year.As a result,the population of the world is becoming larger.In 1925 there were about 2 billion people in the world; today there are over 6 billion.
When the number rises,extra mouths must be fed.New lands must be brought under development,or land already farmed must be made to produce more crops.In some areas the land is so over-developed that it will be difficult to make it provide more crops.In some areas the population is so large that the land is divided into too tiny units to make improvement possible with farming methods.If a large part of this farming population went into industrial work,the land might be farmed much more productively (多产地) with modern methods.
There is now a race for science,technology,and industry to keep the output of food rising faster than the number of people to be fed.New types of crops,which will grow well in bad weather,are being developed,so there are now farms beyond the Arctic Circle in Siberia and North America.Irrigation (灌溉) and dry-farming methods bring poor lands under the plough.Dams hold back the waters of great rivers,which can provide water for the fields in all seasons and provide electric power for new industries.Industrial chemistry provides fertilizer to suit different soils.Every year,some new methods are made to increase or to protect the food of the world.
48.The author says that the world population is increasing becauseC.
A.there are many rich valleys and large fields
B.farmers are producing more crops than before
C.people are living longer due to better living conditions
D.new lands are being made into farmlands
49.The author says that in areas with large populations,land might be more productively farmed ifC.
A.the land was divided into smaller pieces  
B.people moved into the countryside
C.industrial methods were used in farming  
D.the units of land were much larger
50.We are told that there are now farms beyond the Arctic Circle.This has been made  possible byA.
A.growing new types of crops      
B.irrigation and dry-farming means
C.providing fertilizers             
D.destroying pests and diseases
51.Why do some people use dams to hold back waters from great rivers?C
A.To develop a new kind of dry-farming methods.
B.To prevent crops from floods.
C.To provide water and electricity in all seasons.
D.To water poor lands in bad weather.

Mrs.Thompson,with tears in her eyes,whispered back,"Teddy,you have it all wrong.You were the one who taught me that I could make a difference.I didn't know how to teach until I met you."
