Barbie, as everyone called her, has bee the most successful toy in history. According to Barbies parents, the Mattel pany, 90% of all American girls between 3 and 10 have at least one Barbie at home.In todays world, however, Barbie is facing an identity crisis. There are many rivals on the market. For example, Bratz dolls, which are very popular among older girls, came to life seven years ago. They look more like todays pop stars with heavy make-up（浓妆）and fashionable miniskirts. Today Bratz is a challenge for Barbie, because the pany offers a wide variety of clothing, too.It seems that Barbie has lost her appeal to older girls. “For younger girls playing with a Barbie is much fun, but when you get older you want something chic, says Alina Foley, a shop assistant in a New York toy store. Indeed, sales have been going down over the past year, partly because of the worlds economic crisis.Barbie still has a lot going for her. More and more doll lovers all over the globe have bee collectors. They trade Barbies or buy them on eBay. Others look for special and rare Barbie dolls, like Scarlett OHara from “Gone with the Wind”.On the international market, Barbie remains number one. Although Mattel has been selling fewer Barbies in the United States over the past year, sales in other countries have been going up. In January Mattel opened its first Barbie store in Shanghai, where girls can shop, eat or even bee their own fashion designer.Barbie has changed her image many times over the past decades. Originally she worn blond pony tails and had bright red lips. In the 80s she changed to a more colorful new look.For her 50th birthday Mattel is planning some big events. Fashion designers from all over the world have been called to make new clothes for Barbie. She is also scheduled to be a big star during the New York Fashion Week. How long will Barbie stay on as a celebrity（名人）in the world of toy dolls? Hard to say, but 50 is definitely not the age to retire.1. The author mentions Bratz in Paragraph 2 in order to show that _.A. even pop stars have their own favorite toy dollsB. Barbie is facing tough petition on the marketC. clothing plays the key role in the design of toy dollsD. the toy market has been expanding greatly over the years2. The underlined word “chic” in Paragraph 3 probably means “_”.A. valuableB. scientificC. plexD. fashionable3. We can learn from the text that Barbie _.A. plays a role in a film directed by Scarlett OHaraB. is most popular with girls under the age of tenC. has rarely changed its image since its birth 50 years agoD. has long lost its leading position on the market of toy dolls4. What would be the best title for the text?A. Barbie Turns FiftyB. Hottest Toys for GirlsC. Mattels Barbie SalesD. Play with Bratz ToysBAre you reading this while sitting in an office cubicle（办公室格子间）? If so, please take a moment and glance around you. Are there photos of your last vacation hung on the wall? One of your kids drawings? A yellowed print of a favorite cartoon?If so, you are doing something good for both yourself and your organization. Newly published research suggests working in an environment that offers little privacy can lead to emotional exhaustion and burnout（过度疲劳）. But personalizing ones workplace is an effective protection against such unwanted outes.“Individuals may take fort from the items with which they surround themselves at work, and these items may help employees to keep emotional energy high in the face of stresses that e from their work,” writes a research team led by Gregory Laurence of the University of Michigan-Flint, Michigan, in north central U.S.In the Journal of Environmental Psychology, Laurence and his colleagues describe a study featuring 87 white-collar employees at a large, urban university in the Midwestern United States.Research assistants noted whether they worked in a private office (with a door that can be closed) or a cubicle. They also counted the number of items each worker had brought from home to decorate his or her workspace a list that included photographs, posters, artworks.Not surprisingly, Laurence and his colleagues found a connection between the amount of privacy an employee enjoys and his or her rate of burnout. “High privacy conditions tend to serve as strong protectors against unwele interferences and distractions（干扰和分心的事）,” they noted, “contributing to a work environment supporting reduced emotional exhaustion.”But this link disappeared when those employees had personalized their cubicles. Employees who had turned their workspaces into areas that reflect their interests and personalities reported the same (relatively low) level of emotional exhaustion, no matter whether they worked in an office or a cubicle.The research confirms “the calming effect” of having your own stuff around you. So if youre feeling exhausted at work, relief could be as simple as hanging a few of your kindergarteners colorful creations on your cubicle wall. 5. Who might be most interested in the passage?A. Job hunters.B. Office workers.C. Kids parentsD. Employment researchers.6. For employees, decorating cubicles with their own items _.A. offers them little privacyB. may help improve their work efficiencyC. will sometimes cause burnoutD. serve as interferences and distractions7. The participant of the research _.A. e from the university of Michigan-FlintB. all suffer high levels of emotional exhaustionC. may work in a private office or in a cubicleD. like personalizing their homes with little items8. Where does this passage probably e from?A. A book reviewB. A research planC. An official documentD. A news reportCTwo new studies suggest that modern running shoes could increase the risk of injuries to runners. One study involved sixty-eight healthy young women and men who ran at least twenty-four kilometers a week. The runners were observed on a treadmill machine (跑步机). Sometimes they wore running shoes. Other times they ran barefoot (赤脚). Researchers from the JKM Technologies pany in Virginia, the University of Virginia and the University of Colorado did the study.They found that running shoes create more stress that could damage knees, hips and ankle joints than running barefoot. They observed that the effect was even greater than the effect reported earlier for walking in high heels.The study appeared in the official scientific journal of The American Academy of Physical Medicine. The other study appeared in the journal Nature. It pared runners in the United States and Kenya. The researchers were from Harvard University in Massachusetts, Moi University in Kenya and the University of Glasgow in Scotland.They divided the runners into three groups. One group had always run shoeless. Another group had always run with shoes. And the third group had changed to shoeless running.Runners who wear shoes usually e down heel first. That puts great force on the back of the foot. But the study found that barefoot runners generally land on the front or middle of their foot. That way they ease into their landing and avoid striking their heel.Harvards Daniel Lieberman led the study. He says the way most running shoes are designed may explain why those who wear them land on their heels. The heel of the shoe is bigger and heavier than other parts of the shoe, so it would seem more likely to e down first. Also, the heel generally has thick material under it to soften landings. But the researchers do not suggest that runners immediately start running barefoot. They say it takes some training. And there can be risks, like running when your feet are too cold to feel if you get injured.The study was partly supported by Vibram, which makes a kind of footwear that it says is like running barefoot. The findings have gotten a lot of attention. But the researchers say there are many problems in the way the press has reported in their paper. So they have tried to explain their findings on a Harvard Website. 9. Whats the main idea of the passage?A. Walking in high heels could cause less serious effects than running barefoot.B.

Which part of our body could be injured if we run in running shoes?A. Toes.B. Hips.C. Feet.D. Legs.11. What can we learn from the passage?A. The way that we run by landing on the front or middle of our foot could avoid damaging our heel.B. We should start running barefoot in no time.C. Running in modern running shoes could cause more serious effects than running in high heels.D. We wont be injured if we run barefoot.DWalking down a path through some woods in Georgia, I saw a small pool of water ahead on the path. I angled my direction to go around it on the part of the path that wasnt covered by water or mud. As I reached the pool, I was suddenly attacked!Yet I did nothing for the attack. It was so unpredictable and from somewhere totally unexpected. I was surprised as well as unhurt though I had been struck four or five times. I backed up a foot and my attacker stopped attacking me. Had I been hurt I wouldnt have found it amusing. And I was laughing. After all, I was being attacked by a butterfly!Having stopped laughing, I took a step forward. My attacker rushed me again. He charged towards me at full speed, attempting to hurt me but in vain. For a second time, I took a step backwards while my attacker paused. I wasnt sure what to do. After all, its just not every day that one is attacked by a butterfly. I stepped back to look the situation over. My attacker moved back to land on the ground. Thats when I discovered why my attacker was charging me only moments earlier. He had a mate and she was dying.Sitting close beside her, he opened and closed his wings as if to fan her. I could only admire the love and courage of that butterfly in his concern for his mate. He had taken it up on himself to attack me for his mates sake, even though she was clearly dying and I was so large. He did so just to give her those extra few precious moments of life. Should I have been careless enough to step on her? His courage in attacking something thousands of times larger and heavier than himself just for his mates safety seemed admirable. I couldnt do anything other than reward him by walking on the more difficult side of the pool. He had truly earned those moments to be with her, undisturbed.Since then, Ive used that butterflys courage as an inspiration and to remind myself that good things are worth fighting for.12. The writer changed his direction while walking down a path because he wanted_.A. to get close to a butterflyB. to escape a sudden attackC. to look over the bad situationD. to avoid getting his shoes dirty13. From the passage we can learn that the attacker _.A. struck the author four or five times and made him badly hurtB. paused until the author took a step backwardsC. thought it was the author who caused the death of his mateD. attacked the author for his mates safety and to acpany her for the last moments of life14. From this experience the man learned_.A. butterflies are brave insectsB. the small can defeat the large C. how to deal with challenges in his lifeD. people should try their best to fight for everything15. Which of the following words can best describe the butterfly?A. caringB. ambitiousC. courageousD. aggressive 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Although problems are a part of our lives, it certainly doesnt mean that we let them rule our lives forever.
