The Barbie Dolls
In the mid 1940s, the young ambitious Duo Ruth and Elliott Handler, owned a company that made wooden pictures frames. It was in 1945 that Ruth and Elliot Handler jointed with their close friend Harold Mattson to form a company that would be known for the most famous and successful doll ever created. The company would be named Mattel, MATT for Mattson, and EL for Elliot.
In the mid 1950s, while visiting Switzerland, Ruth Handler purchased a German Lilli doll. Lilli was a sharply, pretty fashion doll first made in 1955. She was originally fashioned after a famous cartoon character in the West German Newsletter, Build.
Lilli is the doll that would inspire Ruth Handler to design the Barbie doll. With the help of her technicians and engineers at Mattel, Barbie was born. Ruth then hired Charlotte Johnson, a fashion designer, to create Barbie’s wardrobe. It was in 1958 that the patent for Barbie was obtained. This would be a fashion doll unlike any of her time. She would be long limited, sharply, beautiful, and only 11.5 inches tall. Ruth and Elliot would name their fashion doll after their own daughter, Bardie.
In 1959, the Barbie doll would make her way to the New York show and receive a cool reception from the toy buyers.
Barbie has undergone a lot of changes over the years and has managed to keep up with current trends in hairstyles, madeup and clothing. She is a reflection of the history of fashion since her introduction to the toy market.
Barbie has a universal appeal and collectors both young and old enjoy time spent and memories made with their dolls.

More Than 8 Hours Sleep Too Much of a Good Thing
Although the dangers of too little sleep are widely known，new research suggests that people who sleep too much may also suffer the consequences．
Investigators at the University of California in San Diego found that people who clock up 9 or 10 hours each weeknight appear to have more trouble falling and staying asleep，as well as a number of other sleep problems，than people who sleep 8 hours a night．People who slept only 7 hours each night also said they had more trouble falling asleep and feeling refreshed after a night’s sleep than 8-hour sleepers．
These findings, which DL Daniel Kripke reported in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine, demonstrate that people who want to get a good night’s rest may not need to set aside。more than 8 hours a night．He added that“it might be a good idea'’for people who sleep more than 8 hours each night to consider reducing the amount of time they spend in bed, but cautioned that more research is needed to confirm this．
Previous studies have shown the potential dangers of chronic shortages of sleep一for instance, one report demonstrated that people who habitually sleep less than 7 hours each night have a higher risk of dying within a fixed period than people who sleep more．
For the current report，Kripke reviewed the responses of 1，004 adults to sleep questionnaires，in which participants indicated how much they slept during the Week and whether they experienced any sleep problems．Sleep problems included waking in the middle of the night，arising early in the morning and being unable to fall back to sleep，and having fatigue interfere with day-to-day functioning．
KriDke found that people who slept between 9 and 10 hours each night were more likely to report experiencing each sleep problem than people who slept 8 hours．In an interview, Kripke noted that long sleepers may struggle to get rest at night simply because they spend too much time in bed．As evidence，he added that one way to help insomnia is to spend less time in bed．“It stands to reason that if a person spends too long a time in bed, then they’ll spend a higher percentage of time awake．”he said．
1. Paragraph 2 ___.
2. Paragraph 4___.
3. Paragraph 5___.
4. Paragraph 6___.
A. Keprike’s research tool
B. Dangers of Habitual shortages of sleep
C. Criticism on Kripke’s report

E. Sleep problems of long and short sleepers
F. Classification of sleep problems

第一篇 To Have and Have Not
I headed for a shop on the other side of the street. Unlike the others，it didn't have a sign shouting its name and business, and instead of the usual impersonal modern lighting, there was an appealing glow inside. Strangely nothing was displayed in the window. Not put off by this, I went inside.
It took my breath away. I didn't know where to look, where to start. On one wall there hung three hand-stitched American quilts that were in such wonderful condition they might have been newly-made. I came across tin toys and antique furniture, and on the wall in front of me, a 1957 Stratocaster guitar, also in excellent condition. A card pushed between the strings said $50. I ran my hand along a long shelf of records, reading their titles. And there was more...
“Can I help you？” She startled me. I hadn't even seen the woman behind the counter come in. The way she looked at me, so directly and with such power. It was a look of such intensity that for a moment I felt as if I were wrapped in some kind of magnetic or electrical field. I found it hard to take and almost turned away. But though it was uncomfortable. I was fascinated by the experience of her looking straight into me, and by the feeling that I was neither a stranger, nor strange, to her.
Besides amusement her expression showed sympathy. It was impossible to tell her age；she reminded me faintly of my grandmother because, although her eyes were friendly, I could see that she was not a woman to fall out with. I spoke at last. “I was just looking really”, I said, though secretly wondering how much of the stuff I could cram into the bus.
The woman turned away and went at once towards a back room, indicating that I should follow her. But it in no way lived up to the first room. The light made me feel peculiar, too. It came from an oil lamp that was hung from the centre of the ceiling and created huge shadows over everything. There were no rare electric guitars, no old necklaces, no hand-painted boxes with delicate flowers. It was also obvious that it must have taken years, decades, to collect so much rubbish, so many old documents arid papers.
I noticed some old books, whose gold lettering had faded, making their titles impossible to read. “They look interesting”, I said, with some hesitation. “To be able to understand that kind of writing you must first have had a similar experience”, she said clearly. She noted the confused look on my face, but didn't add anything.
She reached up for a small book which she handed to me. “This is the best book I can give you at the moment”, she laughed. “If you use it.” I opened the book to find it full, or rather empty, with blank white pages, but paid her the few dollars she asked for it, becoming embarrassed when I realized the notes were still folded into little paper planes. I put the book in my pocket, thanked her and left.

第二篇 Stress Level Tied to Education Level
People with less education suffer fewer stressful days, according to a report in the current issue of the Journal of Health and Social Behavior．
However, the study also found that when 1ess-educated people did suffer stress it was more severe and had a larger impact on their health．
From this, researchers have concluded that the day-to-day factors that cause stress are not random．Ⅵr11ere you are in society determines the kinds of problems that you have each day, and how well you will cope with them．
The research team interviewed a national sample of 1．03 1 adults daily for eight days about their stress level and health．People without a high school diploma reported stress on 30 percent of the study days，people with a high school degree reported stress 38 percent of the time，and people with college degrees reported stress 44 percent of the time．
"Less advantaged people are less healthy on a daily basis and are more likely to have downward turns in their health。’”lead researcher Dr．Joseph Grzywacz，of Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center, said in a prepared statement．“The downward turns in health were connected with daily stressors．and the effect of daily stressors on their health is much more devastating for the less advantaged．”
Grzywacz suggested follow-up research to determine why less-educated people report fewer days of stress when it is known their stress is more acute and chronic．
“If something happens every day, maybe it’snot seen as a stressor”Grzywacz says．“Maybe it is just 1ife．”
1．Stress level is closely related to
A)family size．
B)social status．
C)body weight．
D)work experience．
2．The 1．03 1 adults were interviewed
A)on adaily basis for 8days．
B)during one of eight days．
C)all by Grzywacz．
D)in groups．
3． Which group reported the biggest number of stressful days?
A)People without any education．
B)People without high school degrees．
C)People with high school degrees．
D)People with college degrees．
4．The less advantaged people are，the greater
A)the impact of stress on their health is．
B)the effect of education on their health is
C)the level of their education is．
D)the degree of their health concern is．
5．Less—educated people report fewer days of stress possibly because
A)they don’t want to tell the truth．
B)they don’t want to face the truth．
C)stress is too common a factor in their life．
D their stress is more acute．
第三篇 Going Her Own Way
When she was twelve, Maria made her first important decision about the course of her life. She decided that she wanted to continue her education. Most girls from middle-class families chose to stay home after primary school, though some attended private Catholic "finishing" schools. There they learned a little about music，art，needlework，and how to make polite conversation. This was not the sort of education that interested Maria —or her mother. By this time, she had begun to take her studies more seriously. She read constantly and brought her books everywhere. One time she even brought her math book to the theater and tried to study in the dark.
Maria knew that she wanted to go on learning in a serious way. That meant attending the public high school, something that very few girls did. In Italy at the time, there were two types of high schools: the "classical" schools and the "technical" schools. In the classical schools, the students followed a very traditional program of studies, with courses in Latin and Greek language and literature, and Italian literature and history. The few girls who continued studying after primary school usually chose these schools.
Maria，however，wanted to attend a technical school. The technical schools were more modem than the classical schools and they offered courses in modern languages, mathematics, science, and accounting. Most people — including Maria's father — believed that girls would never be able to understand these subjects. Furthermore, they did not think it was proper for girls to study them.
Maria did not care if it was proper or not. Math and science were the subjects that interested her most. But before she could sign up for the technical school，she had to win her father' s approval. She finally did, with her mother's help, though for many years after，there was tension in the family. Maria's father continued to oppose her plans, while her mother helped her.
In 1883，at age thirteen，Maria entered the "Regia Scuola Tecnica Michelangelo Buonarroti" in Rome. Her experience at this school is difficult for us to imagine. Though the courses included modern subjects, the teaching methods were very traditional. Learning consisted of memorizing long lists of facts and repeating them back to the teacher. Students were not supposed to ask questions or think for themselves in any way. Teachers were very demanding, discipline in the classroom was strict, and punishment was severe for those who failed to achieve or were disobedient.
1、 Maria wanted to attend________.
A.private “finishing” school
B.school with Latin and Greek
C.technical high school
D.school for art and music
2、 In those days, most Italian girls________.
A.went to classical schools
B.went to “finishing” schools
C.did not go to high school
D.went to technical schools
3、 You can infer from this passage that________.
A.girls usually attended private primary schools
B.only boys usually attended technical schools
C.girls did not like going to school
D.only girls attended classical schools
4、 Maria’s father probably________.
A.had very modern views about women
B.had very traditional views about women
C.had no opinion about women
D.thought women could not learn Latin
5、 High school teachers in Italy In those days were________.
A.very modern
B.very intelligent
C.quite scientific
D.quite strict

Ruining the Ruins
Acid rain is also capable of dissolving some rocks, and buildings made of soft rock, such as limestone (石灰石), are particularly badly affected. The acid rain attacks the rock, and so carvings and statues are eroded (受腐蚀) more quickly.
__________(1) According to a report in the New Scientist, acid rain is being blamed for the rapid decay of ancient ruins in Mexico. The old limestone buildings in places like Chichen Itza, Tulum and Palenque are wearing away very quickly indeed. These sites are the remains of the buildings built by the Mayas between 250 BC and AD 900, and the spectacular ruins of Mayan civilization are visited by thousands of tourists every year.
But those ruins are in danger of being seriously damaged by pollution. At many sites the stone has been covered with a layer of black substance. __________(2)
Scientists estimate that about one millimeter of stone is worn away every twelve years. __________(3) The acid rain is said to be caused by pollution from oil wells in the Gulf of Mexico. Car exhaust gases are also a problem. Local volcanic eruptions make the problem even worse. Nevertheless, with enough money and effort, researchers say that many of the problems could be solved and the rate of erosion reduced. __________(4)
Mexicos current lack1of funds is also partly due to oil. The country has rich oil fields and a few years ago, when oil was expensive, Mexico Was selling large quantities of oil to the USA and earning a lot of money. __________(5) However, the price of oil then dropped, and Mexico has been left owing enormous sums of money and with not enough income from oil sales to pay back the loans. So unless the price of oil rises, it is unlikely that Mexico will be able to afford to clean up the pollution and save its Mayan ruins from destruction.
A. At others the painted surfaces inside temples are lifting and flaking off (剥落) and the stone is being eaten away.
B. That is enough to have caused some of the ancient carvings to become seriously damaged already.
C. These measures would reduce the pollution, but would not stop it completely.
D. The government was therefore able to borrow huge sums of money from banks around the world, thinking they would have no problem repaying their debts.
E. The problem, however, is not just a European one.
F. However, the Mexican government does not have enough money to do the work, and needs to spend what money it has on the Mexican people.

Car Thieves Could Be Stopped Remotely
Speeding off in a stolen car,the thief thinks he has got a great catch。．But he is in a nasty surprise．The car is fitted with a remote immobilizer．and a radio signal from a control center miles away will ensure that once the thief switches the engine _1_ ，he will not be able to start it again．
For now,such devices _2_ only available for fleets of trucks。and specialist vehicles used on construction sites．But remote immobilization technology could soon start to trickle down to ordinary cars．and _3_ be available to ordinary cars in the UK _4_ two months．
The idea goes like this．A control box fitted to the car incorporates。 _5_ miniature cellphone，a microprocessor and memory, and a GPS satellite positioning receiver． _6_ the car is stolen．a coded cellphone signal will tell the unit to block the vehicle’s engine management system and prevent the engine _7_ restarted．
There are even plans for immobilizers _8_ shut down vehicles on the move，though there are fears over the safety implications of such a system．
In the UK．an array of technical fixesⅢis already making _9_ harder for car thieves．“The pattern of vehicles crime has changed，”says Martyn Randall of Thatcham．a security research organization based in Berkshire that is funded in part _10_ the motor insurance industry．
He says it would only take him a few minutes to _11_ a novice how to steal a car, using a bare minimum of tools．But only if the cal-is more than 10 years old．
Modern cars are a far tougher proposition，as their engine management computer will not _12_ them to start unless they receive a unique ID code beamed out by the ignition key．In the UK，technologies like this _13_ achieve a 31 per cent drop in vehicle-related crime since 1997．
But determined criminals ore still managing to find other ways to steal cars．Often by getting hold of the owner’s keys in a burglary．In 2000,12 per cent of vehicles stolen in the UK were taken using the owner’s keys double the previous year’s figure．
Remote．con~olled immobilization system would _14_ a major new obstacle in the criminal’s way by making such thefts pointless．A group that includes Thatcham，the police，insurance companies and security technology firms have developed standards for a system that could go on the market sooner than the _15_ expects．

一、词汇选项
1 D 2 C 3 A 4 B 5 D 6 C 7 B 8 C 9 A 10 C 11 B 12 D 13 C 14 C 15 B
二、阅读判断
1、A 在文章第一句提到：In the mid 1940s, the young ambitious Duo Ruth and Elliott Handler…其中ambitious意思是“有雄心壮志的”，也就是对应题目中的had a strong desire to be highly successful.
2、A 在文章第二句提到：It was in 1945 that Ruth and Elliot Handler jointed with their close friend Harold Mattson to form a company …The company would be named Mattel.也就是说这个公司是属于他们这三个人的。
3、B 在文章的第二段提到：She was originally fashioned after a famous cartoon character in the West German Newsletter, Build. 她最早是根据《西德时事通讯》中的一个著名漫画人物——碧尔德塑造的。而不是题干中所说的a German doll.
4、B 第三段第一句话说到：Lilli is the doll that would inspire Ruth Handler to design the Barbie doll. 莉莉这个娃娃唤起了露丝?汉德勒设计芭比娃娃的灵感。而不是comes from a fashion designer.
5、C be in the market for的意思是“想要购买”。文章只是提到：1959年，芭比娃娃参加了纽约玩具展览，买者的反应很冷淡。
6、B 文章倒数第二段说到：这些年来，芭比娃娃经历了很多变化，在发式，装束，衣着方面都设法与时代潮流保持同步。自从她进入了玩具市场，就成了时尚史的反映。而不是说从芭比娃娃诞生一开始就成为了时尚的标志，因为它诞生之初也是不怎么受欢迎的。
7、A 这是正确的说法。这些年来，芭比娃娃经历了很多变化，在发式，装束，衣着方面都设法与时代潮流保持同步。
三、概括大意与完成句子
1. E： Investigators ...found that people who clock up 9 or 10 hours each weeknight appear to have more trouble falling, than...该句回应了文章的主题—睡眠时间太长不是好事；对应被选项发现只有E和F与这个内容有关系，但段落最后一句中又提到了睡眠不足的人的问题，因此判断E是答案（睡眠长和睡眠短的人所面临的睡眠问题）。
2。B．分析：段落的结构-- Previous studies have shown the potential dangers of chronic shortages of sleep一for instance..表明了该段的中心是讲述“长期睡眠不足的潜在危险”
3. A． 分析：对于该段落答案的选择具有一定的迷惑性，A和F容易相互成为干扰项，但由于段落中提到的“睡眠问题”是属于问卷上要回答的内容，是和Keprike的直接研究有关，所以判断A是答案。同时猜测F可能是干扰项
4. D： 段落中出现的Kripke found， Kripke noted和he added表明“Kripke的观点和态度应该是该段的中心”，对比被选项排除C（段落中没有出现批评的话语）和F（段落中没有具体提到睡眠问题的表现形式），而段落最后第2句提到了克服失眠的方法—少花时间在床上，与D呼应。
5．F．分析：根据搭配结构need to do sth.判断所有选项都在语法上合适。借助搭配句意：“为了获得晚上好的休息，人们没有必要。。”判断F（睡眠超过8小时）。
6．E．分析：借助搭配句意：“睡眠时间长的人根据报道更有可能。。”，并结合文章主题—睡眠时间长不是好事情，判断E合适。也可借助文章中的相关内容（利用题干中的Long sleepers和more likely 作为答案线索）：KriDke found that people who slept between 9 and 10 hours each night were more likely to report experiencing each sleep problem than people who slept 8 hours．
7． A． 分析：借助搭配句意：“其中的一个睡眠问题是在午夜醒来，不能。。”，直接判断A（再次入睡）合适。
8. C．分析：借助搭配句意：“一项调查显示那些习惯性每晚...的人有更高的死亡风险。”
四、阅读理解
第一篇 To Have and Have Not
1、B 细节题，考查对文章意思的理解。对照原文第一自然段It had been boring hanging about the hotel all afternoon.可以知道他很无聊，所以出去了，根据分析应该是选项B，去换个景色。
2、D 细节题，考查对文章意思的理解。对照原文第二自然段there was an appealing glow inside有吸引人的一闪一闪的光线，对照选项，答案是D。
3、A 细节题，考查对文章意思的理解。对照原文第三自然段，B价值高的，原文A card pushed between the strings said $50.说明东西不是很贵排除B；C很难获得的和D展示差的，文中都没有提及，排除C和D；A质量好的，原文in such wonderful condition,newly-made,in excellent condition可以看东西的出质量好，答案是A。
4、C 细节题，考查对文章意思的理解。对照原文第四自然段The way she looked at me, so directly and with such power.It was a look of such intensity that for a moment I felt as if I were wrapped in some kind of magnetic or electrical field.知道她的眼光比较强势，让作者像陷入了一个磁场，根据理解选B，就像她很了解我一样，形容她的目光强度大。
5、C 细节题，考查对文章意思的理解。对照原文第六自然段There were no rare electric guitars, no old necklaces, no hand-painted boxes with delicate flowers. It was also obvious that it must have taken years, decades, to collect so much rubbish, so many old documents arid papers.这里作者用了rubbish一词，说明这里的东西对于他来说是不需要的，这里易混的是选项A，几乎什么都没有，原文并不是强调没有东西，而是他不喜欢，答案选C。
第二篇 Stress Level Tied to Education Level
1、B 从文章题目便可得知，一个人的紧张程度与其受教育的程度挂钩，而受教育的程度又直接影响一个人的社会地位。因此，文章第三段提到，一个人的社会地位决定了其每日所面临的问题和处理这些问题的能力。由此可见，紧张程度与社会地位密切相关。
2、A 文章第四段提到，研究人员对全国抽样的1 031名成人连续八天每天进行采访。
3、D 从文章第四段可以得知，调查对象学历越高，自己所报告的紧张天数便越多。
4、A 文章第五段提到，一个人的社会地位越低，紧张对其健康造成的危害也就越大。
5、C 文章最后两段提到，受教育程度越低者所报告紧张天数越少的原因有可能是他们对紧张因素己司空见惯，视其为生活的一部分，而不是什么特别值得注意的。
第三篇 Going Her Own Way
1、C 对照原文第三自然段Maria，however，wanted to attend a technical school.答案选C。
2、C 对照原文第一自然段Most girls from middle-class families chose to stay home after primary school大部分女孩呆在家里，也就是不去上学，答案选C。
3、B 考查对文章内容的理解。对照原文第一自然段Most girls from middle-class families chose to stay home after primary school大部分女孩待在家里而不是去private primary schools，排除A；B选项文中没有提及；对照原文第二自然段The few girls ……usually chose these schools.这些要上学的女孩选择这样的学校（classical schools），文章中明确给出来无须推理，排除D；对照原文第三自然段 girls would never be able to understand these subjects大部分人认为女孩从来不能了解这些学科，也就是说只有男孩可以，所以答案选B。
4、B 对照原文第四自然段Maria's father continued to oppose her plans, while her mother helped her.父亲是反对的而母亲支持帮助她。推断父亲的做法是和大部分人的传统的观念一致的，答案是B。
5、D 对照原文最后一自然段Teachers were very demanding(苛刻的，过分要求的), discipline in the classroom was strict, and punishment was severe…，答案是D。
五、补全短文
1、 E 前两段讲了关于欧洲的酸雨，接下来又讲了关于墨西哥的酸雨。所以需要一个连接的句子。E符合题意。意思是：“然而，酸雨并不只是欧洲的问题。”
2、A 上一句讲述墨西哥大多数玛雅文化遗址的情况，这里讲述其他的玛雅文化遗址的情况，A符合题意。
3、B 根据前后句联系，虽然每12年只有1毫米的损害，但是这已经是足够大的损坏了。
4、F 前一句话讲到了研究人员的看法，只要有足够的钱，这些问题都是可以解决的。后面对前面讲述的内容进行转折，但是墨西哥政府没有足够的钱。符合逻辑。
5、D 墨西哥拥有大量的石油储备，经济主要依靠石油出口。以前石油价格高的时候，他们每年可以赚很多的钱。因此那时候墨西哥可以偿还在世界各地得银行的钱款。但是现在石油价格低了，所以墨西哥就没有这个能力来偿还钱款了。
六、完形填空
1．A 该段主要是说，如果车被盗，只要发出无线电信号，retmote immobilizer就能使被盗车一旦停就无法再启动。因此，应选择A。如选择B，switches the engine on(发动弓擎)句子意思便不符合文章内容。C和D与switch不搭配。
2．D devices是复数形式，描述的也是目前的事情，所以应使用be的现在时复数形式are.
3．D 该句说，这种遥控技术会一点一点地，但很快地用于普通汽车。然后，作者推断，在两个月后这种技术就能用于英国的汽车。A是错误的选项，因为该句前面用了could表示委婉的推断，在此不会用can；B和C与意思不符；should也是表示推断。
4．c 从搭配上来看，可以选择B和C，但是从意思上来看，必须选择C。for two months：已经有两个月了；in two months：两个月后。不能选择A，因为不符和英语表达习惯。又如：They will graduate拥one year．他们一年后毕业。
5．C 这里应该使用不定冠词，而且miniature cellphone后面的并列定语都使用不定冠词。不能选择a|1，因为它后面的名词由辅音开头。
6．B 从语法结构来看，这里应选择引导状语从旬的连词，其他选择都会造成结构错误。而且，If正符合句子的意思。
7．B orevent sth(from)doing是固定用法，restart这里要用被动语态being restarted，所以，应选择B。
8．C 从句子的结构来看，这里需要一个关系代词引导定语从旬。关系代词的先行词immobilizers是物不是人，所以只能用that，不能用who。
9．A 在四个选择中，B、C和D显然不符合文章的意思。这里作者要表达的的意思是：使……日子难过，所以，应选择A。
10．C be funded是被动语态，空格后面是名词短语，从句子的意思来判断，这个名词短语是动作fund的执行者，是谓语动词动作逻辑上的主语，所以必须使用by来引导这个名词短语。
11．D 这个句子结构是：to take sb time to do sth。从意思上判断，句子的意思应该是：他说只要花几分钟就能教会一个新手如何偷盗汽车。所以，D是答案。use，inform和ask都不与how to结构搭配。
12．B them后跟着to，所以首先排除A和C(let sb do sth．／make sb do sth)。句子的意思不允许选D。…will not allow them to start…．：…不允许它们启动…。
13．A 句子后面的时间状语由since引导，所以句子应该使用现在完成时。
14．D 从obstacle in the criminal’s way这个名词短语看出，应选择D，构成put obstacle in sb's way(给某人设置障碍)这种固定用法。
15．C 前面有go on the market，预期的人应该是customer。当然，specialists，doctor或lawyer也可以预期，但总及不上customer那么自然。

The Barbie Dolls
In the mid 1940s, the young ambitious Duo Ruth and Elliott Handler, owned a company that made wooden pictures frames. It was in 1945 that Ruth and Elliot Handler jointed with their close friend Harold Mattson to form a company that would be known for the most famous and successful doll ever created. The company would be named Mattel, MATT for Mattson, and EL for Elliot.
In the mid 1950s, while visiting Switzerland, Ruth Handler purchased a German Lilli doll. Lilli was a sharply, pretty fashion doll first made in 1955. She was originally fashioned after a famous cartoon character in the West German Newsletter, Build.
Lilli is the doll that would inspire Ruth Handler to design the Barbie doll. With the help of her technicians and engineers at Mattel, Barbie was born. Ruth then hired Charlotte Johnson, a fashion designer, to create Barbie’s wardrobe. It was in 1958 that the patent for Barbie was obtained. This would be a fashion doll unlike any of her time. She would be long limited, sharply, beautiful, and only 11.5 inches tall. Ruth and Elliot would name their fashion doll after their own daughter, Bardie.
In 1959, the Barbie doll would make her way to the New York show and receive a cool reception from the toy buyers.
Barbie has undergone a lot of changes over the years and has managed to keep up with current trends in hairstyles, madeup and clothing. She is a reflection of the history of fashion since her introduction to the toy market.

More Than 8 Hours Sleep Too Much of a Good Thing
Although the dangers of too little sleep are widely known，new research suggests that people who sleep too much may also suffer the consequences．
Investigators at the University of California in San Diego found that people who clock up 9 or 10 hours each weeknight appear to have more trouble falling and staying asleep，as well as a number of other sleep problems，than people who sleep 8 hours a night．People who slept only 7 hours each night also said they had more trouble falling asleep and feeling refreshed after a night’s sleep than 8-hour sleepers．
These findings, which DL Daniel Kripke reported in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine, demonstrate that people who want to get a good night’s rest may not need to set aside。more than 8 hours a night．He added that“it might be a good idea'’for people who sleep more than 8 hours each night to consider reducing the amount of time they spend in bed, but cautioned that more research is needed to confirm this．
Previous studies have shown the potential dangers of chronic shortages of sleep一for instance, one report demonstrated that people who habitually sleep less than 7 hours each night have a higher risk of dying within a fixed period than people who sleep more．
For the current report，Kripke reviewed the responses of 1，004 adults to sleep questionnaires，in which participants indicated how much they slept during the Week and whether they experienced any sleep problems．Sleep problems included waking in the middle of the night，arising early in the morning and being unable to fall back to sleep，and having fatigue interfere with day-to-day functioning．
KriDke found that people who slept between 9 and 10 hours each night were more likely to report experiencing each sleep problem than people who slept 8 hours．In an interview, Kripke noted that long sleepers may struggle to get rest at night simply because they spend too much time in bed．As evidence，he added that one way to help insomnia is to spend less time in bed．“It stands to reason that if a person spends too long a time in bed, then they’ll spend a higher percentage of time awake．”he said．
1. Paragraph 2 ___.
2. Paragraph 4___.
3. Paragraph 5___.
4. Paragraph 6___.
A. Keprike’s research tool
B. Dangers of Habitual shortages of sleep
C. Criticism on Kripke’s report
D. A way of overcoming insomnia
E. Sleep problems of long and short sleepers
F. Classification of sleep problems
5．To get a good night’s rest，people may not need to ___.
6．Long sleepers are reported to be more likely to___.
7． One of the sleep problems is waking in the middle of the night，unable to___.
8. One survey showed that people who habitually ___each night have a higher risk of dying．
A fall asleep again ．
B become more energetic the following day
C sleep less than 7 hours
D confirm those serious consequences
E suffer sleep problems
F sleep more than 8 hours

第一篇 To Have and Have Not
I headed for a shop on the other side of the street. Unlike the others，it didn't have a sign shouting its name and business, and instead of the usual impersonal modern lighting, there was an appealing glow inside. Strangely nothing was displayed in the window. Not put off by this, I went inside.
It took my breath away. I didn't know where to look, where to start. On one wall there hung three hand-stitched American quilts that were in such wonderful condition they might have been newly-made. I came across tin toys and antique furniture, and on the wall in front of me, a 1957 Stratocaster guitar, also in excellent condition. A card pushed between the strings said $50. I ran my hand along a long shelf of records, reading their titles. And there was more...
“Can I help you？” She startled me. I hadn't even seen the woman behind the counter come in. The way she looked at me, so directly and with such power. It was a look of such intensity that for a moment I felt as if I were wrapped in some kind of magnetic or electrical field. I found it hard to take and almost turned away. But though it was uncomfortable. I was fascinated by the experience of her looking straight into me, and by the feeling that I was neither a stranger, nor strange, to her.
Besides amusement her expression showed sympathy. It was impossible to tell her age；she reminded me faintly of my grandmother because, although her eyes were friendly, I could see that she was not a woman to fall out with. I spoke at last. “I was just looking really”, I said, though secretly wondering how much of the stuff I could cram into the bus.
The woman turned away and went at once towards a back room, indicating that I should follow her. But it in no way lived up to the first room. The light made me feel peculiar, too. It came from an oil lamp that was hung from the centre of the ceiling and created huge shadows over everything. There were no rare electric guitars, no old necklaces, no hand-painted boxes with delicate flowers. It was also obvious that it must have taken years, decades, to collect so much rubbish, so many old documents arid papers.
I noticed some old books, whose gold lettering had faded, making their titles impossible to read. “They look interesting”, I said, with some hesitation. “To be able to understand that kind of writing you must first have had a similar experience”, she said clearly. She noted the confused look on my face, but didn't add anything.
She reached up for a small book which she handed to me. “This is the best book I can give you at the moment”, she laughed. “If you use it.” I opened the book to find it full, or rather empty, with blank white pages, but paid her the few dollars she asked for it, becoming embarrassed when I realized the notes were still folded into little paper planes. I put the book in my pocket, thanked her and left.
1、Why did the writer want to leave the hotel?
A.To enjoy the good weather.
B.To have a change of scene.
C.To spend all his winnings.
D.To get away from the crew.
2、What attracted the writer to the shop?
A.The lack of a sign or name.
B.The fact that it was nearby.
C.The empty window display.
D.The light coming from inside.
3、The writer found the stock in the front of the shop__________.
A.of top quality
B.of good value
C.difficult to get at
D.badly displayed
4、What was unusual about the way the woman looked at him?
A.It made him feel self-conscious.
B.She was happy to stare at him.
C.She seemed to know him well.
D.It made him want to look away.
5、The writer disliked the back room because__________.
A.there was hardly anything in it
B.she had ordered him to go there
C.he saw nothing he really liked
D.it was too dark to look around
第二篇 Stress Level Tied to Education Level
People with less education suffer fewer stressful days, according to a report in the current issue of the Journal of Health and Social Behavior．
However, the study also found that when 1ess-educated people did suffer stress it was more severe and had a larger impact on their health．
From this, researchers have concluded that the day-to-day factors that cause stress are not random．Ⅵr11ere you are in society determines the kinds of problems that you have each day, and how well you will cope with them．
The research team interviewed a national sample of 1．03 1 adults daily for eight days about their stress level and health．People without a high school diploma reported stress on 30 percent of the study days，people with a high school degree reported stress 38 percent of the time，and people with college degrees reported stress 44 percent of the time．
"Less advantaged people are less healthy on a daily basis and are more likely to have downward turns in their health。’”lead researcher Dr．Joseph Grzywacz，of Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center, said in a prepared statement．“The downward turns in health were connected with daily stressors．and the effect of daily stressors on their health is much more devastating for the less advantaged．”
Grzywacz suggested follow-up research to determine why less-educated people report fewer days of stress when it is known their stress is more acute and chronic．
“If something happens every day, maybe it’snot seen as a stressor”Grzywacz says．“Maybe it is just 1ife．”
1．Stress level is closely related to
A)family size．
B)social status．
C)body weight．
D)work experience．
2．The 1．03 1 adults were interviewed
A)on adaily basis for 8days．
B)during one of eight days．
C)all by Grzywacz．
D)in groups．
3． Which group reported the biggest number of stressful days?
A)People without any education．
B)People without high school degrees．
C)People with high school degrees．
D)People with college degrees．
4．The less advantaged people are，the greater
A)the impact of stress on their health is．
B)the effect of education on their health is
C)the level of their education is．
D)the degree of their health concern is．
5．Less—educated people report fewer days of stress possibly because
A)they don’t want to tell the truth．
B)they don’t want to face the truth．
C)stress is too common a factor in their life．
D their stress is more acute．
第三篇 Going Her Own Way
When she was twelve, Maria made her first important decision about the course of her life. She decided that she wanted to continue her education. Most girls from middle-class families chose to stay home after primary school, though some attended private Catholic "finishing" schools. There they learned a little about music，art，needlework，and how to make polite conversation. This was not the sort of education that interested Maria —or her mother. By this time, she had begun to take her studies more seriously. She read constantly and brought her books everywhere. One time she even brought her math book to the theater and tried to study in the dark.
Maria knew that she wanted to go on learning in a serious way. That meant attending the public high school, something that very few girls did. In Italy at the time, there were two types of high schools: the "classical" schools and the "technical" schools. In the classical schools, the students followed a very traditional program of studies, with courses in Latin and Greek language and literature, and Italian literature and history. The few girls who continued studying after primary school usually chose these schools.
Maria，however，wanted to attend a technical school. The technical schools were more modem than the classical schools and they offered courses in modern languages, mathematics, science, and accounting. Most people — including Maria's father — believed that girls would never be able to understand these subjects. Furthermore, they did not think it was proper for girls to study them.
Maria did not care if it was proper or not. Math and science were the subjects that interested her most. But before she could sign up for the technical school，she had to win her father' s approval. She finally did, with her mother's help, though for many years after，there was tension in the family. Maria's father continued to oppose her plans, while her mother helped her.
In 1883，at age thirteen，Maria entered the "Regia Scuola Tecnica Michelangelo Buonarroti" in Rome. Her experience at this school is difficult for us to imagine. Though the courses included modern subjects, the teaching methods were very traditional. Learning consisted of memorizing long lists of facts and repeating them back to the teacher. Students were not supposed to ask questions or think for themselves in any way. Teachers were very demanding, discipline in the classroom was strict, and punishment was severe for those who failed to achieve or were disobedient.
1、 Maria wanted to attend________.
A.private “finishing” school
B.school with Latin and Greek
C.technical high school
D.school for art and music
2、 In those days, most Italian girls________.
A.went to classical schools
B.went to “finishing” schools
C.did not go to high school
D.went to technical schools
3、 You can infer from this passage that________.
A.girls usually attended private primary schools
B.only boys usually attended technical schools
C.girls did not like going to school
D.only girls attended classical schools
4、 Maria’s father probably________.
A.had very modern views about women
B.had very traditional views about women
C.had no opinion about women
D.thought women could not learn Latin
5、 High school teachers in Italy In those days were________.
A.very modern
B.very intelligent
C.quite scientific
D.quite strict

Ruining the Ruins
Acid rain is also capable of dissolving some rocks, and buildings made of soft rock, such as limestone (石灰石), are particularly badly affected. The acid rain attacks the rock, and so carvings and statues are eroded (受腐蚀) more quickly.
__________(1) According to a report in the New Scientist, acid rain is being blamed for the rapid decay of ancient ruins in Mexico. The old limestone buildings in places like Chichen Itza, Tulum and Palenque are wearing away very quickly indeed. These sites are the remains of the buildings built by the Mayas between 250 BC and AD 900, and the spectacular ruins of Mayan civilization are visited by thousands of tourists every year.
But those ruins are in danger of being seriously damaged by pollution. At many sites the stone has been covered with a layer of black substance. __________(2)
Scientists estimate that about one millimeter of stone is worn away every twelve years. __________(3) The acid rain is said to be caused by pollution from oil wells in the Gulf of Mexico. Car exhaust gases are also a problem. Local volcanic eruptions make the problem even worse. Nevertheless, with enough money and effort, researchers say that many of the problems could be solved and the rate of erosion reduced. __________(4)
Mexicos current lack1of funds is also partly due to oil. The country has rich oil fields and a few years ago, when oil was expensive, Mexico Was selling large quantities of oil to the USA and earning a lot of money. __________(5) However, the price of oil then dropped, and Mexico has been left owing enormous sums of money and with not enough income from oil sales to pay back the loans. So unless the price of oil rises, it is unlikely that Mexico will be able to afford to clean up the pollution and save its Mayan ruins from destruction.
A. At others the painted surfaces inside temples are lifting and flaking off (剥落) and the stone is being eaten away.
B. That is enough to have caused some of the ancient carvings to become seriously damaged already.
C. These measures would reduce the pollution, but would not stop it completely.
D. The government was therefore able to borrow huge sums of money from banks around the world, thinking they would have no problem repaying their debts.
E. The problem, however, is not just a European one.
F. However, the Mexican government does not have enough money to do the work, and needs to spend what money it has on the Mexican people.

Car Thieves Could Be Stopped Remotely
Speeding off in a stolen car,the thief thinks he has got a great catch。．But he is in a nasty surprise．The car is fitted with a remote immobilizer．and a radio signal from a control center miles away will ensure that once the thief switches the engine _1_ ，he will not be able to start it again．
For now,such devices _2_ only available for fleets of trucks。and specialist vehicles used on construction sites．But remote immobilization technology could soon start to trickle down to ordinary cars．and _3_ be available to ordinary cars in the UK _4_ two months．
The idea goes like this．A control box fitted to the car incorporates。 _5_ miniature cellphone，a microprocessor and memory, and a GPS satellite positioning receiver． _6_ the car is stolen．a coded cellphone signal will tell the unit to block the vehicle’s engine management system and prevent the engine _7_ restarted．
There are even plans for immobilizers _8_ shut down vehicles on the move，though there are fears over the safety implications of such a system．
In the UK．an array of technical fixesⅢis already making _9_ harder for car thieves．“The pattern of vehicles crime has changed，”says Martyn Randall of Thatcham．a security research organization based in Berkshire that is funded in part _10_ the motor insurance industry．
He says it would only take him a few minutes to _11_ a novice how to steal a car, using a bare minimum of tools．But only if the cal-is more than 10 years old．
Modern cars are a far tougher proposition，as their engine management computer will not _12_ them to start unless they receive a unique ID code beamed out by the ignition key．In the UK，technologies like this _13_ achieve a 31 per cent drop in vehicle-related crime since 1997．
But determined criminals ore still managing to find other ways to steal cars．Often by getting hold of the owner’s keys in a burglary．In 2000,12 per cent of vehicles stolen in the UK were taken using the owner’s keys double the previous year’s figure．
Remote．con~olled immobilization system would _14_ a major new obstacle in the criminal’s way by making such thefts pointless．A group that includes Thatcham，the police，insurance companies and security technology firms have developed standards for a system that could go on the market sooner than the _15_ expects．

6、B 文章倒数第二段说到：这些年来，芭比娃娃经历了很多变化，在发式，装束，衣着方面都设法与时代潮流保持同步。自从她进入了玩具市场，就成了时尚史的反映。而不是说从芭比娃娃诞生一开始就成为了时尚的标志，因为它诞生之初也是不怎么受欢迎的。
7、A 这是正确的说法。这些年来，芭比娃娃经历了很多变化，在发式，装束，衣着方面都设法与时代潮流保持同步。
三、概括大意与完成句子
1. E： Investigators ...found that people who clock up 9 or 10 hours each weeknight appear to have more trouble falling, than...该句回应了文章的主题—睡眠时间太长不是好事；对应被选项发现只有E和F与这个内容有关系，但段落最后一句中又提到了睡眠不足的人的问题，因此判断E是答案（睡眠长和睡眠短的人所面临的睡眠问题）。
2。B．分析：段落的结构-- Previous studies have shown the potential dangers of chronic shortages of sleep一for instance..表明了该段的中心是讲述“长期睡眠不足的潜在危险”
3. A． 分析：对于该段落答案的选择具有一定的迷惑性，A和F容易相互成为干扰项，但由于段落中提到的“睡眠问题”是属于问卷上要回答的内容，是和Keprike的直接研究有关，所以判断A是答案。同时猜测F可能是干扰项
4. D： 段落中出现的Kripke found， Kripke noted和he added表明“Kripke的观点和态度应该是该段的中心”，对比被选项排除C（段落中没有出现批评的话语）和F（段落中没有具体提到睡眠问题的表现形式），而段落最后第2句提到了克服失眠的方法—少花时间在床上，与D呼应。
5．F．分析：根据搭配结构need to do sth.判断所有选项都在语法上合适。借助搭配句意：“为了获得晚上好的休息，人们没有必要。。”判断F（睡眠超过8小时）。
6．E．分析：借助搭配句意：“睡眠时间长的人根据报道更有可能。。”，并结合文章主题—睡眠时间长不是好事情，判断E合适。也可借助文章中的相关内容（利用题干中的Long sleepers和more likely 作为答案线索）：KriDke found that people who slept between 9 and 10 hours each night were more likely to report experiencing each sleep problem than people who slept 8 hours．
7． A． 分析：借助搭配句意：“其中的一个睡眠问题是在午夜醒来，不能。。”，直接判断A（再次入睡）合适。
8. C．分析：借助搭配句意：“一项调查显示那些习惯性每晚...的人有更高的死亡风险。”
四、阅读理解
第一篇 To Have and Have Not
1、B 细节题，考查对文章意思的理解。对照原文第一自然段It had been boring hanging about the hotel all afternoon.可以知道他很无聊，所以出去了，根据分析应该是选项B，去换个景色。
2、D 细节题，考查对文章意思的理解。对照原文第二自然段there was an appealing glow inside有吸引人的一闪一闪的光线，对照选项，答案是D。
3、A 细节题，考查对文章意思的理解。对照原文第三自然段，B价值高的，原文A card pushed between the strings said $50.说明东西不是很贵排除B；C很难获得的和D展示差的，文中都没有提及，排除C和D；A质量好的，原文in such wonderful condition,newly-made,in excellent condition可以看东西的出质量好，答案是A。
4、C 细节题，考查对文章意思的理解。对照原文第四自然段The way she looked at me, so directly and with such power.It was a look of such intensity that for a moment I felt as if I were wrapped in some kind of magnetic or electrical field.知道她的眼光比较强势，让作者像陷入了一个磁场，根据理解选B，就像她很了解我一样，形容她的目光强度大。
5、C 细节题，考查对文章意思的理解。对照原文第六自然段There were no rare electric guitars, no old necklaces, no hand-painted boxes with delicate flowers. It was also obvious that it must have taken years, decades, to collect so much rubbish, so many old documents arid papers.这里作者用了rubbish一词，说明这里的东西对于他来说是不需要的，这里易混的是选项A，几乎什么都没有，原文并不是强调没有东西，而是他不喜欢，答案选C。
第二篇 Stress Level Tied to Education Level
1、B 从文章题目便可得知，一个人的紧张程度与其受教育的程度挂钩，而受教育的程度又直接影响一个人的社会地位。因此，文章第三段提到，一个人的社会地位决定了其每日所面临的问题和处理这些问题的能力。由此可见，紧张程度与社会地位密切相关。
2、A 文章第四段提到，研究人员对全国抽样的1 031名成人连续八天每天进行采访。
3、D 从文章第四段可以得知，调查对象学历越高，自己所报告的紧张天数便越多。
4、A 文章第五段提到，一个人的社会地位越低，紧张对其健康造成的危害也就越大。
5、C 文章最后两段提到，受教育程度越低者所报告紧张天数越少的原因有可能是他们对紧张因素己司空见惯，视其为生活的一部分，而不是什么特别值得注意的。
第三篇 Going Her Own Way
1、C 对照原文第三自然段Maria，however，wanted to attend a technical school.答案选C。
2、C 对照原文第一自然段Most girls from middle-class families chose to stay home after primary school大部分女孩呆在家里，也就是不去上学，答案选C。
3、B 考查对文章内容的理解。对照原文第一自然段Most girls from middle-class families chose to stay home after primary school大部分女孩待在家里而不是去private primary schools，排除A；B选项文中没有提及；对照原文第二自然段The few girls ……usually chose these schools.这些要上学的女孩选择这样的学校（classical schools），文章中明确给出来无须推理，排除D；对照原文第三自然段 girls would never be able to understand these subjects大部分人认为女孩从来不能了解这些学科，也就是说只有男孩可以，所以答案选B。
4、B 对照原文第四自然段Maria's father continued to oppose her plans, while her mother helped her.父亲是反对的而母亲支持帮助她。推断父亲的做法是和大部分人的传统的观念一致的，答案是B。
5、D 对照原文最后一自然段Teachers were very demanding(苛刻的，过分要求的), discipline in the classroom was strict, and punishment was severe…，答案是D。
五、补全短文
1、 E 前两段讲了关于欧洲的酸雨，接下来又讲了关于墨西哥的酸雨。所以需要一个连接的句子。E符合题意。意思是：“然而，酸雨并不只是欧洲的问题。”
2、A 上一句讲述墨西哥大多数玛雅文化遗址的情况，这里讲述其他的玛雅文化遗址的情况，A符合题意。
3、B 根据前后句联系，虽然每12年只有1毫米的损害，但是这已经是足够大的损坏了。
4、F 前一句话讲到了研究人员的看法，只要有足够的钱，这些问题都是可以解决的。后面对前面讲述的内容进行转折，但是墨西哥政府没有足够的钱。符合逻辑。
5、D 墨西哥拥有大量的石油储备，经济主要依靠石油出口。以前石油价格高的时候，他们每年可以赚很多的钱。因此那时候墨西哥可以偿还在世界各地得银行的钱款。但是现在石油价格低了，所以墨西哥就没有这个能力来偿还钱款了。
六、完形填空
1．A 该段主要是说，如果车被盗，只要发出无线电信号，retmote immobilizer就能使被盗车一旦停就无法再启动。因此，应选择A。如选择B，switches the engine on(发动弓擎)句子意思便不符合文章内容。C和D与switch不搭配。
2．D devices是复数形式，描述的也是目前的事情，所以应使用be的现在时复数形式are.
3．D 该句说，这种遥控技术会一点一点地，但很快地用于普通汽车。然后，作者推断，在两个月后这种技术就能用于英国的汽车。A是错误的选项，因为该句前面用了could表示委婉的推断，在此不会用can；B和C与意思不符；should也是表示推断。
4．c 从搭配上来看，可以选择B和C，但是从意思上来看，必须选择C。for two months：已经有两个月了；in two months：两个月后。不能选择A，因为不符和英语表达习惯。又如：They will graduate拥one year．他们一年后毕业。
5．C 这里应该使用不定冠词，而且miniature cellphone后面的并列定语都使用不定冠词。不能选择a|1，因为它后面的名词由辅音开头。
6．B 从语法结构来看，这里应选择引导状语从旬的连词，其他选择都会造成结构错误。而且，If正符合句子的意思。
7．B orevent sth(from)doing是固定用法，restart这里要用被动语态being restarted，所以，应选择B。
8．C 从句子的结构来看，这里需要一个关系代词引导定语从旬。关系代词的先行词immobilizers是物不是人，所以只能用that，不能用who。
9．A 在四个选择中，B、C和D显然不符合文章的意思。这里作者要表达的的意思是：使……日子难过，所以，应选择A。
10．C be funded是被动语态，空格后面是名词短语，从句子的意思来判断，这个名词短语是动作fund的执行者，是谓语动词动作逻辑上的主语，所以必须使用by来引导这个名词短语。
11．D 这个句子结构是：to take sb time to do sth。从意思上判断，句子的意思应该是：他说只要花几分钟就能教会一个新手如何偷盗汽车。所以，D是答案。use，inform和ask都不与how to结构搭配。
12．B them后跟着to，所以首先排除A和C(let sb do sth．／make sb do sth)。句子的意思不允许选D。…will not allow them to start…．：…不允许它们启动…。
13．A 句子后面的时间状语由since引导，所以句子应该使用现在完成时。
14．D 从obstacle in the criminal’s way这个名词短语看出，应选择D，构成put obstacle in sb's way(给某人设置障碍)这种固定用法。
15．C 前面有go on the market，预期的人应该是customer。当然，specialists，doctor或lawyer也可以预期，但总及不上customer那么自然。
