More than fifty years
ago, Barbie Millicent Roberts first appeared in
the world of toys. Since
then, Barbie
doll, as everyone called her, has become the most
successful toy doll in history. Her
parent, the Mattel Company, said that
90G of all American girls between 3 and 10 have at
least
one Barbie at home.
However, Barbie is facing some
trouble at present. There are many similar dolls
on the market
in competition with her.
Another doll named Bratz, for example, came to
life about sixteen years
ago. She looks
more like today's pop stars with heavy
makeup
（浓妆）
and miniskirts.
And her
company offers more kinds of
clothes.
It seems that
Barbie has lost her magic among older girls.
Barbie is much funnier. But when you
get older, you want something smarter and more
modern,
says Vera Shepherd, a shop
assistant of a toy store in New York.
It is good news that on the
international market, Barbie is still No. 1.
Although Mattel is selling
fewer
Barbies in the United States these years, sales in
other countries are still going up. Mattel
opened its first Barbie store in
Shanghai, where girls can shop, eat, drink or even
become fashion
designers for their own
Barbies.
Mattel is
planning big celebrations for Barbie's 58th
birthday. Fashion designers from all over
the world have been called to make new
dresses for Barbie. How long will Barbie stay
popular in
the world of toy dolls? It
is hard to say, but 58 is surely not the age to
retire

阅读理解
Have
you ever
thought
about
what
our
food
will
be
like
in
the
future?
As
the
population
is
growing fast,
there must be changes in our food.
More land will be used for building
houses for people. Then there will be less space
for cattle
and chickens, so meat will
be more expensive. Instead, people will eat more
fruit and vegetables.
Scientists are always trying out new ways of
growing food. Only one third of the Earth's area
is
land and the rest is sea, so some
think maybe we can get more food from the
sea.
Besides, though
rice supports more than half of the world's
population, it needs a lot of water
to
grow. Scientists predict
（预测）
the climate will get drier during the next
century. Therefore,
it might be
impossible to grow rice in the future. Some
farmers are experimenting with new crops.
Farmers
like
to
grow
beans
because
they
don't
need much
water,
and
beans
also
improve
the
quality of the soil. The soybean
（黄豆）
makes a good
substitute
（替代品）
for rice and
meat.
（
1
）
Why
won't some people eat meat every day in the future
according to the passage?
A. Because meat makes people fat.
B. Because meat may be more
expensive.
C. Because people
want to be healthier.
D.
Because people want to eat more
vegetables.
（
2
）
Where can we get more food
according to the passage?
A. From the sea. B. From the
land. C. From the rivers. D.
From other planets.
（
3
）
Why
might it be impossible to grow rice in the future
according to the passage?
A. Because growing rice is hard work.
B. Because people will eat less rice.
C. Because rice needs much water to
grow. D. Because it takes too much time to grow
rice.
（
4
）
Which of the following about beans
is NOT true?
A.
Beans may be popular for farmers to grow.
B. Beans need as much water as rice to
grow.
C. Beans improve the
quality of the soil.
D.
Beans can take the place of rice and
meat.

【分析】短文大意：这篇短
文讲的是将来人们的食物会是什么样的。在将来肉很
贵，人们将吃的更多的是水果和蔬菜
。人们从海洋中得到更多的食物。随着下个世纪气候
的变干旱，在将来种植水稻是不可能
的。人们会种植豆类，黄豆会制成米和肉好的替代品
替。
（
1
）细节
理解题。根据
Then there will be less space
for cattle and chickens, so meat will be
more expensive.
那时牛和鸡的生存空间更小了
，因此肉将更贵。
故选
B
。
（
2
）细节
理解题。根据
Only one third of the Earth's
area is land and the rest is sea, so some
think maybe we can get more food from
the sea.
地球只有三分之一是陆地，因此一些人认为
或许我们能从海洋获取更多的食物。故选
A
。
< br>
（
3
）细节理解题。根据
Besides,
though
rice
supports
more
than
half
of
the
world's
population, it needs a lot of water to
grow.
此外，虽然，水稻支撑着世界上一半多人口，它需
要很多水来种植，故选
C
。
（

理解题。根据
Farmers like to grow beans
because they don't need much water,
农<
/p>
民们喜欢种植豆类，因为它们不需要很多水。可知选项
