Passage One

Barbie dolls have a particular look to them. They're thin, tall, long-legged and virtually unlike any real human being. Although over the years Barbie has had more than 180 different careers-including football coach, sign language teacher, ambassador, president and astronaut–her body shape hasn't changed much.
Last year Mattel, the company that makes Barbie dolls, added some Barbies to its line that have different skin tones and hair textures. There are now Barbies with one of seven skin tones, 22 eye colours and 24 hair styles to choose from. Last year Mattel also gave Barbie a flat foot, rather than forcing her to be “in heels” all the time like the original Barbie is.
Now they are introducing new Barbies with three slightly different body shapes while the original, tall and thin Barbies will continue to be sold.
In a statement on its website, the company says it wants Barbies to look more like real people, and to give girls everywhere infinitely more ways to spark their imagination and play out their stories.
Although many people say the new Barbies are a step in the right direction, some people say they don't go far enough. They say that the new body shapes could be even more different from the original, tall, thin Barbies.
Sales of Barbie dolls have been falling “every year since 2012,” according to CBC News.
The toys aren't in stores yet but they will be sold online at the Barbie website, starting this week, for $9.99.

Q9：What do we know about the original Barbie dolls?

题目问的是关于原来的芭比娃娃，我们了解到什么。文章开头就提到，芭比娃娃有着独特的样貌，她们苗条、高挑，有着修长的双腿，实际上与任何现实中的人都不像。这正是原来的芭比娃娃的外形特征。由此可以得出A项为正确答案。文章提到美泰尔公司生产了一些拥有不同发质的芭比娃娃，但没有说具体数量，而后面说的24种是指发型(hair styles)而不是发质(hair textures)，故B项错误；文章提到现在美泰尔公司正在生产新的芭比娃娃，拥有三种稍微不同的体型，而不是24种不同的体型，故C项错误；文章开头提到芭比有过180多种不同的职业，而不是代表了几乎各行各业，D项属于过度推理，故错误。

Q10：Why do some people feel unsatisfied with the new Barbie dolls?

题目问的是为什么有些人对新的芭比娃娃不满意。文章最后提到，虽然很多人认为新的芭比娃娃朝正确的方向更进了一步，但是还有一些人认为她们走得还不够远。他们说这些新体型芭比还可以与原来的瘦高型芭比有更多的不同。说明这些人认为新的芭比娃娃体型变化不是太大，故选项D正确。选项A和C在原文中均未提及，故排除；选项B与原文内容不符，原文说的是生产出新芭比娃娃的同时原来的娃娃也会继续销售，故排除B。

Q11：Where will the new Barbie dolls be sold first?

题目问的是新的芭比娃娃将最先在哪里销售。文章最后提到，这些娃娃现在还没在店里销售，但是她们将会从这周开始在芭比网站上在线销售，由此得知选项C正确。其他三项均与原文内容不符，故排除。
