VII.阅读理解(20分)
A
Fifty-three 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 90% of all American girls between 3 and 10 have at least one Barbie at home.
However, Barbie is facing some trouble at present(现在). There are many similar dolls on the market in competition with her. Another doll named Bratz, for example, came to life thirteen 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 too.
It seems that Barbie has lost her magic among older girls. “For younger girls, playing with a Barbie is much fun. But when you get older, you want something smarter and more modern,” says Vera Shepherd, a shop assistant in a New York toy store.
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. In January 2009, 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 53rd 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 53 is surely not the age to retire(退休).
41. Barbie’s family name is _______.
A. Roberts B. Millicent C. Shepherd D. Bratz
42. Barbie’s trouble is that _______.
A. it wears heavy makeup and miniskirts
B. other dolls are more popular with little girls
C. other dolls are trying to beat her in the market
D. it has become less popular in the international market
43. Girls can do the following in the first Barbie shop in Shanghai except _______.
A. going shopping B. having food C. drinking juice D. taking photos
44. What’s the meaning of the underlined words “fashion designers” in the passage?
A.珠宝设计师 B.发型设计师 C.舞台设计师 D.服装设计师
45. What is the best title of the passage?
A. First Barbie Shop in Shanghai B. Barbie’s Past and Present
C. Barbie’s 53rd Birthday Party D. Barbie Lost Her Magic
B
Every morning my father buys a newspaper on his way to work. Every evening my mother looks through magazines at home. And every night, I look at the posters with photos of David Beckham and Yao Ming on my bedroom wall before I go to sleep. Can we imagine life without paper or print?
Paper was first created about 2,000 years ago, and has been made from silk, cotton, bamboo, and, since the 19th century, from wood. People learned to write words on paper to make a book. But in those days, books could only be produced one at a time by hand. As a result, they were expensive and rare. And because there weren’t many books, few people learned to read.
Then printing was invented in China. When printing was developed greatly at the beginning of the 11th century, books could be produced more quickly and cheaply. As a result, more people learned to read. After that, knowledge and ideas spread quickly.
Today information can be received online, downloaded from the Internet rather than found in books, and information can be kept on CD-ROMs or machines such as MP3 players.
Computers are already used in classrooms, and newspapers and magazines can already be read online. So will books be replaced by computers one day? No, I don’t think the Yao Ming poster on my bedroom wall will ever be replaced by a two-metre-high computer!
46. What does the writer do before he goes to sleep?
A. He reads books. B. He reads newspapers.
C. He looks through magazines. D. He looks at the posters on the wall.
47. When was paper first created?
A. About 2,000 years ago. B. In the 19th century.
C. About 1,000 years ago. D. In the 11th century.
48. Why were books expensive and rare before the invention of printing?
A. Because people could not read.
B. Because people could not write words on paper.
C. Because people could not find silk, cotton or bamboo.
D. Because people could only produce books one at a time by hand.
49. What happened after books became cheaper?
A. People didn’t want to buy books. B. Printing was invented in China.
C. Knowledge and ideas spread quickly. D. The Internet was introduced to people soon.
50. What is the writer’s opinion about books and computers?
A. People won’t need books any more. B. Books won’t be replaced by computers.
C. People prefer to find information in books. D. Computers have already replaced books.

21. D 句意：我们的语文老师给我们讲了一个有趣的故事，这个故事是关于托马斯·爱迪生的。表示“一个”用不定冠词a或an，interesting的读音是以元音音素开头且中心词story为可数名词单数，所以第一空用an；表示上文已经提到，下文再次提到的人或事物的名词前要用定冠词the。故选D。
22. D 上句句意：“你叔叔是怎样学弹吉他的？”答语是一个省略句，完整的句子应为He learnt to play the guitar by himself.。learn...by oneself意为“自学……”，oneself应与主语一致，本句主语为he，故反身代词用himself。
23. D one of后接名词的复数，表示“……中的一个”，排除A、C两项；prize“奖品”，hobby“爱好”，剪纸是一种爱好，故选D项。
24. A how often“多久一次”，提问频率；how soon“多久以后”，提问“in+一段时间”；where“在哪里”，提问地点；why“为什么”，提问原因。由答语“每个星期二和星期四”可知问句是提问频率。故选A。

26. A special“特别的”；simple“简单的，简朴的”；important“重要的”；interesting“有趣的”。由答语中的He was in his usual shirt and jeans.(他穿着他平时的衬衫和牛仔裤)可知此处意为“没什么特别的”。故选A。
27. A long“长的”；fresh“清新的”；colourful“五彩缤纷的”；different“不同的”。结合下句句意“据说世界上第一部手机是在20世纪70年代被制造的”可知，手机的历史已经很长了，故用long。

29. A It takes sb. some time to do sth.意为“做某事花费某人多长时间”，由every day可知时态是一般现在时。

33. C 由下文“在过去，它是重要地位的象征”可知前句意为“然而，伞并不总是像现在这样平常”。
