But when you ge t 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.

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 celebration 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?

city to work in Limehouse，east London．As time went on，other Chinese people came to this area and Limehouse began to be known as‘Chinatown’．However，London’Chinese community，remained very small for many years；at the start of the 20th century，there were just 545 Chinese people in Britain．After the Second World War，many farmers in Hong Kong lost their jobs and came to London．As Limehouse had been almost destroyed during the war，they settled(定居)in adifferent area—a part of central London near Leicester Square．This area is now what Londoners call Chinatown．At first，the new immigrants(移民)found it difficult to get jobs．In the 1950s，however，a small Chinese restaurant opened in London．Many British people visited it and said that Chinese food was wonderful! Suddenly，Chinese restaurants and take-aways started opening in every part of the city．Instead of too little work，the new Chinese immigrants now found that they had too much! They worked as cooks，managers or waiters．Most of them enjoyed their lives and arranged their friends and relatives to join them from overseas．As time went by，London’s Chinese community became more and more successful．The sons and daughters of the original restaurant workers studied and worked very hard．And most went on to get highly paid jobs．Many Chinese families left Chinatown and moved to more expensive outskirts．Chinatown，however，is still as lively as ever．( )11．When did the first Chinese immigrants come to London?A．In the 1950s．B．More than 200 years ago．C．After the Second World War．D．At the start of the 20th century．( )12．Why did many Chinese immigrants come to London in the 1950s?A．Because it was easy for them to get jobs there．B．Because Limehouse had been almost destroyed during the war．C．Because many British people enjoyed Chinese food．D．Because their children could study there and get highly paid jobs．( )13．In the 1950s，Chinese immigrants came to London and worked as_______．A．sailors B．farmersC．sailors and farmers D．restaurant workers( )14．Where is London’s Chinatown now?A．In the east of London．B．In Limehouse．C．Not far from Leicester Square．D．Outside the city．( )15．According to this passage，if people live in the outskirts of a city，they live________．A．in the village B．far away from the cityC．in the centre of the city D．in the outer areas of the city四、任务型阅读．(每小题2分，共10分)Waste can be seen everywhere in the school．Some students ask for more food than they can eat and others often forget to turn off the lights when they leave the classroom．They say they can afford these things．But I don’t agree with them．Waste can bring a lot of problems．Although China is rich in some resources(资源)，we are short of others，for example，fresh water．It is reported that we will have no coal or oil to use in100 years．So if we go on wasting our resources，what can we use in the future and where can we move? Think about it．(3)I think we should say no to the students who waste things every day．Everybody should stop wasting as soon as possible．In our everyday life，we can do many things to prevent waste from happening，for example，turn off the water taps when we finish washing，turn off the lights when we leave the classroom，try not to order more food than we need，and so on．Little by little，everything will be changed．(4)Waste can be stopped one day if we do our best．任务一：根据要求答题．1．List the wastes mentioned in the first paragraph．(within 15 words)____________________________________________________________________ 2．What problems can waste bring?(within 20 words)(1)____________________________________________________________________(2) ____________________________________________________________________任务二：将短文中画线的句子翻译成汉语．3．____________________________________________________________________4．____________________________________________________________________任务三：请给短文拟一个适当的标题．(within 5 words)5．____________________________________________________________________五、词汇．(共18分)A．根据句意及所给首字母或汉语提示，完成下列句子．(每小题1分，共5分)1．It’s our duty to keep our e clean．2．The Chinese provided all foreign players with the best s during the 2008 Olympic Games．3．That’s only a m plane．It’s not real．4．It’s bad for your health to eat________(不健康的)food．5．The Dongs moved to another flat after he got________(结婚)．B．用所给单词的适当形式填空．(每小题1分，共5分)1．Your cousin_______(not come)here yet．2．Kitty_________(learn)English since she came to England．3．It’s__________(luck)for you to miss such an exciting football match．4．—Come and have some meat．—Thanks．I_______ just________(have)my lunch．5．Most people think life is_________(good)now than before．C．句型转换，每空一词．(每空1分，共8分)1．Jill has already finished his homework．(改为一般疑问句)_________Jill finished his homework_________?2．The problem is difficult for me to work out．(同义句转换)It is difficult for me_________ __________out the problem．3．They have married．(用for two years改写句子)They_________ _________married for two years．4．We have known each other for a long time．(对画线部分提问)__________ __________have you known each other?六、根据所给提示完成下列句子．(每小题2分，共10分)1．到目前为止你看了多少部英语电影了?_____________________________________so far?2．对我们来说，做好每一件事是很有必要的．It’s very necessary______________________________．3．我们还没有玩过这种游戏．We____________________________________ yet．4．这是我见过的最漂亮的画．It’s the most beautiful picture I_____________________________．5．当我上小学的时候，我爸爸天天开车送我上学．When I was at primary school，my father______________________．七、根据短文内容和首字母提示填入适当的单词使短文完整．(每4、题1分，共12分)Millions of words have been w 1 about young people in the USA．There are reasons for this great i 2 in their ideas，feelings and actions．Today there are about seven million Americans in colleges and universities．Young persons u 3 twenty-five make up nearly half of the American p 4 ．Many of these will soon be in charge of(负责管理)the nation．Naturally their ideas are i 5 to everyone in the country，and it is necessary for older people to understand what they t 6 and feel．College students today have strong o 7 about right and wrong．They are deeply interested in m 8 ．a better life for all people，e 9 for those who have not been givena f 10 chance before now．They see much that is wrong in the lives of their parents．It is h11 for them to see what is right and good in the older ways．As a result，there is often t 12 in American families．1．________ 2．_________ 3．________ 4．________ 5．_________6．________ 7．_________ 8．________ 9．________ 10．________ 11．_________ 12．_________ 八、书面表达．(共11分)陈先生是南京人，请你以校报记者的身份对陈节生进行采访．以下是你采访的结果，请根据以下结果写一篇关于陈先生的报道．陈先生自出生就住在南京，现在的南京变化了许多．过去这里空气清新，树木很多，现在这里建造了新的机场．过去人们只能乘公交车，但现在会有很多选择，你可以乘干净漂亮的公交车，也可以乘坐地铁、出租车等．这些变化给南京带来了很多的经济效益，陈先生看到这些变化非常高兴．参考答案一、1～5．ABDAD 6～9．ACDA二、1～5．CBDAB 6～10．DABCD三、1～5．ADBCD 6～10．CCABD 11～15．BAIRD四、1．Ask for more food，forget to turn off the lights．2．(1)We’ll be short of resources．(2)We’ll have nothing to use and nowhere to move．3．我认为我们应该对那些天天浪费东西的学生说不．4．如果我们都尽力的话，将来有一天浪费就不会发生了．5．Stop wasting／No more wasting五、A．1．environment 2．service 3．model 4．unhealthy 5．marriedB．1．hasn’t come 2．has learnt／has learned 3．unlucky 4．have；had 5．better C．1．Has；yet 2．to work 3．have been 4．How long六、1．How many English films have you watched 2．for us to do everything well 3．haven’t played this game 4．have ever seen 5．drove me to school every day七、1．written 2．interest 3．under 4．population 5．important 6．think 7．opinions 8．making 9．especially 10．fair 11．hard 12．trouble八、One possible version：Mr Chen has lived in Nanjing since he was born．He finds that Nanjing has changed a lot over the past years．There used to be fresh air and a lot of trees，but now they have built a new airport．In the past，people could only take the bus，but now you have many choices．You can take the bus，it is clean and beautiful．You can also take the subway，taxi and so on．These changes have brought a lot of advantages to Nanjing．Mr Chen is very pleased to see the changes．。

Some dreams can be very big, such as winning the Nobel Prize. Some can be small. You may just want to become one of the ten best students in your class.Once you have a dream, what do you do with it? Do you ever try to make your dream come true?Follow Your Heart by the Australian writer Andrew Matthews tells us that making our dreams come true is life’s biggest challenge. You may think you’re not very good at some school subjects, or that it is impossible for you to become a writer. These kinds of thoughts stop you from getting your dream, the book says.In fact, everyone can make his dream come true. The first thing you must do is to remember what your dream is. Don’t let it leave your heart. Keep telling yo urself what you want. Then, do what you need to do step by step and your dream will come true faster because a big dream is, in fact, many small dreams.
