9.Online clothes shoppers will be told exactly what size is best.for them using new software which combines with their web camera or smart phone to form a"3D tape measure".
Scientists from Surrey University and design experts from the London College of Fashion are developing a program which can take precise (精确的) waist,hip,chest and other measurements from camera images.
Using the person's height as a starting point,the software will be able to build up a 3D image and estimate their size at various different points on the body,based on their overall proportions.
The result will be a more accurate sizing guide than previous systems based on waist size or a"small/medium/large"scale,which rely on limited measurements and the buyer's perception of their own body size.
Shoppers and retailers(零售商)who choose to sign up for the project could save millions of pounds a year in postage costs by removing the need to order multiple sizes of the same garment(服装) and send back ill-fitting clothes,researchers claimed.
The project,sponsored by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council(EPSRC),is expected to be brought to market within two years.
After choosing an item,the shopper will activate the software,enter their height,stand in front of their webcam or smart phone in their underwear and take a photograph.
The software will not store or transmit the image to the internet,but will use it to judge the person's dimensions at various points on their body.
Philip Delamore of the London College of Fashion said:"The potential benefits for the fashion industry and for shoppers are huge.Currently,it's common for online shoppers to order two or three different sizes of the same item of clothing at the same time,as they're unsure which one will fit best."

4.Teaching is more than leadership.Some of the teacher's time and effort is directed toward instruction,some toward evaluation.But it is the teacher as a group leader who creates an effective organizational structure (结构) and good working environment so that instruction and evaluation activities can take place.A group that is totally disorganized,unclear about its goals,or constantly fighting among its members will not be a good learning group.The leadership pattern includes helping to form and maintain a positive learning environment so that instruction and evaluation activities can take place.
On the first day of class,the teacher faces a room filled with individuals (个体).Perhaps a few closely united groups and friendships already exist.But there is no sense of group unity,no set of rules for conduct in the group,no feeling of belonging.If teachers are successful leaders,they will help students develop a system of relationships that encourages working together.
Standards and rules must be set to keep order,make sure of justice and protect individual rights,but do not contradict school policy.What happens when one student hurts another's individual rights?Without clear regulations agreeable to the students and teachers,the classroom can become chaotic.Students may break rules they did not know existed.If standards are set without participation from the class,students may spend a great deal of creative energy in destroying the class environment or finding ways to break rules.
No matter how skillful the teacher is in uniting students and creating a positive atmosphere,the task is never complete.Regular maintenance is necessary.Conflicts arise.The needs of individual members change.A new kind of learning task requires a new organizational structure.Sometimes outside pressures such as holidays,upcoming tests or sport competitions,or family troubles cause stress in the classroom.One task for the teacher is to recreate a positive environment by helping students deal with conflict,change,and stress.

43.The underlined word"maintain"in Para.1 probably meansA.
A.conserve
B.build
C.recreate
D.evaluate
44.According to the author,the teacher shouldC.
A.free students from outside pressures
B.set the standards and rules on his own
C.be responsible for a well-organized class
D.focus more on instruction and evaluation
45.From the passage we can learn thatD.
A.rules cannot be changed once they're formed
B.outside pressures may not cause tension among students
C.if the teacher well unites his students,he then will finish his task
D.if rules are not acceptable both to students and teachers,the classroom can be a mess
46.What is the author's main purpose of writing the passage?A
A.To provide information for teaching.
B.To show the importance of teaching a class.
C.To study the teacher's behavior in the classroom.
D.To compare the teacher's behavior with the students'in class.
14.Forget chip fat,sugar cane or rapeseed oil-the latest source of biofuel could be watermelons.Scientists have discovered that the fruit is a great source of sugar that can be readily distilled (蒸馏) into alcohol to power cars and farm machinery.
And sellers reject 360,000tons of"substandard"fruit every year in America alone which could be used as an economical way to make fuel.The waste from US growers could produce nearly two million gallons (nine million litres) of biofuel per year.
In the study,researchers at the United States Department of Agriculture set out to determine the biofuel potential of juice from rejected watermelons-those not sold due to   cosmetic  imperfections,and currently ploughed back into the field.About a fifth of each yearly watermelon crop is left in the field because of surface blemishes (瑕疵) or because they are misshapen.
Dr.Wayne Fish,who led the team,found that 50percent of the fruit was fermentable (可发酵的) into alcohol which could provide valuable fuel.
"We've shown that the juice of these watermelons is a source of readily fermentable sugars,representing an unexploited raw material for alcohol biofuel production,"he said.
The study,published in the journal Biotechnology for Biofuels,discovered that watermelons could produce around 20gallons of fuel per acre from fruit that otherwise would go to waste.
Production of biofuels has been targeted by Western governments as a way to support renewable energy targets.
The European Union has a target for 2010that 5.75percent of transport fuels should come from biological sources,but the target is unlikely to be met.
The British government's Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation requires five percent of the fuel sold at the pump by 2010to be biofuel.

53.The passage mainly tells usD.
A.watermelon juice will be the largest source of renewable energy
B.the advantages of fuel made from watermelons
C.Western countries aim at producing biofuels
D.watermelons could be used to make fuel
54.It can be learned from the text thatC.
A.about two gallons of fuel could be made from rejected fruit per acre
B.sellers in the world throw away 360,000tons of watermelons every year
C.half of the watermelons were fermentable into alcohol to provide energy
D.five percent of fuel is required to be biofuel from watermelons by 2010in Britain
55.The underlined word"cosmetic"in Paragraph 3probably meansC.
A.fresh  B.sweet  C.surface  D.inside
56.We can infer from the passage thatB.
A.it will cost a lot to make biofuel from watermelons
B.Western countries are engaged in biofuel study but still have a long way to go
C.watermelon juice has been used as a source of sugars to produce alcohol biofuel
D.the European Union is likely to meet its target of transport fuels from biological sources.
