3．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 5，000 designers，and each one designs only for his own model．'"
   Suddenly，Wannier understood why fitting rooms（試衣間） 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 32 million，helping her develop the business plan．
 Once Wannier set up an online survey for potential customers．Within 24 hours，she got over 700 responses （響應） and a third of them signed up．"We were astonished，"recalls Wannier．"It made us believe there was really a demand．"
 Today，with 700，000 customers and 300 designers，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．"
28．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．
29．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
30．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 32 million to support her business plan．
d．She launched myshape．com．
A．a(chǎn)bcd    
B．bacd      
C．badc    
D．a(chǎn)cbd
31．The text is mainly about．A
A．Wannier and her myshape．com

分析 本文介紹的是Wannier，兩家成功科技公司的創(chuàng)辦者，還介紹了她創(chuàng)建的網(wǎng)站myshape．com．

解答 28．B 細節(jié)理解題 根據(jù)第一段There are 5，000 designers，and each one designs only for his own model．可知，設計師一般都是按照自己的模型來設計衣服，故答案為B
29．C 推理判斷題 根據(jù)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．可知，女士們找不到適合自己的體型而愁眉不展，故答案為C
30．C 細節(jié)理解題 根據(jù)文章第三、四段可知，她開辦了技術公司，然后參加時尚設計班，隨后成立myshape．com，最后收到了32，000，000美元來支持她的創(chuàng)意，故答案為C
31．A 主旨大意題 根據(jù)全文可知，本文介紹的是Wannier，兩家成功科技公司的創(chuàng)辦者，還介紹了她創(chuàng)建的網(wǎng)站myshape．com，故答案為A

點評 做閱讀時經(jīng)常犯錯的主要原因是，僅憑讀過文章后殘留在腦海中的一絲印象來勾選答案，這樣便很容易掉入出題人故意設布下的題目陷阱．所謂閱讀理解，對于題目的理解一定要忠實于原文，因此，每一道題都應該與原文作全面的對比與核查，再得出答案．也就是說，閱讀理解的每一道題目，在原文都應該有明確的出處，我們把這一出處叫做原文相關句，（1）排除與原文相關句主題不一致的選項（2）排除與原文相關句態(tài)度相反的選項  （3）排除用于過于極端或負面的選項（4）注意結合文章主旨和主題去排除．

15．Recently I went to the Tsavo National Park in northern Kenya for a film．We set off early for a distant waterhole．A huge elephant，covered with dry mud，drank calmly and deeply．He might have traveled 50km to reach the water．He wasn't going to hurry now．He'd drink a while and then rest in the shade，and then drink again-or so we thought．What actually happened was that he drank deeply and stepped away．Then he suddenly fell down．Within minutes he was dead．
We called animal doctor Jeremiah Poghon immediately．He removed the head of a poisoned arrow from the elephant's body，and let out over 100liters of pus（膿）-the result of the elephant's meeting with a poacher（偷獵者） months before．
Today's poacher shoots from a blind．He fires an arrow，covered with poison，into the body of an elephant．If the poacher is lucky，the elephant might die in an hour or two； if not，he might have to follow the elephant for days before it dies．Often the arrow head fails to kill the elephant at once-it doesn't mean that the poison won't finally kill the elephant，but it will be a slow death．Living in Tsavo through these times，I could see the results of poaching from time to time．
When I think about the death of that elephant，what stays with me is the extraordinary silence after the shocking sound of his body hitting the ground．I took some comfort from the knowledge that as the dead body returned to the soil，some animals would benefit-but I couldn't escape the feeling that with the death of such a large animal，the world seemed a poorer and emptier place．
21．While filming near the waterhole，the author and his teamD．
A．knew the elephant was injured
B．found the elephant acted violently
C．tired their best to save the elephant
D．thought the elephant was in good condition
22．Further examination showed that the dead elephantA．
A．had suffered a lot
B．had wounds all over it
C．had drunk some deadly water
D．had had a good fight with a poacher
23．How does the author feel when thinking about the elephant's death？C
A．Embarrassed．
B．Funny．
C．Upset．
D．Relieved
24．Why did the author write the text？B
A．To introduce African elephants．
B．To show the cruelty of poaching．
C．To describe his filming experience．
D．To ask readers to protect wild animals．
