【解析】
【1】句意:当这个男孩看到箱子里两只可爱的老鼠时,他不敢相信自己的眼睛。
基数词two后接可数名词复数。mouse的复数形式为mice。故填mice。

表示序号时,序数词放在名词前,并加定冠词。five五,基数词;序数词为fifth。故填fifth。
【3】句意:一个日本导游欢迎游客,并带他们在整个古镇转转。
此空是形容词作定语修饰guide。Japan意为“日本”,形容词为Japanese表示“日本的”。故填Japanese。
【4】句意:在莱特家族里,孩子们拥有选择他们想要学的东西的自由。
此空是名词作have 的宾语。free的名词形式为freedom,表示“自由”。故填freedom。
【5】句意:警察们在尽力救这个小女孩,以免她掉进水里。
manage to do sth表示“尽力做某事”,此空应该用动词原形。safe,形容词,意为“安全的”,动词形式为save,意为“拯救”。故填save。
【6】句意:一个新的法律很有可能将被公布为了减少大城市的空气污染。
此空是副词修饰动词,possible的副词形式为possibly,表示“可能地”。故填possibly。
【7】句意:在英语节中,双胞胎积极参加演讲比赛。
此空是形容词作定语修饰名词part。act的形容词形式为active,表示“积极的”。take an active part in 表示“积极参与”,固定搭配。故填active。
【8】句意:最后店主明白了欺骗顾客是不诚实的。
此句是宾语从句,从句中it is+adj+to do sth表示“做某事是……的”。根据cheat the customers可知欺骗顾客是不诚实的。honest表示“诚实的”,反义词为dishonest,表示“不诚实的”。故填dishonest。
【题目】 A lot of toys have come and gone over the past 60 years, but Barbie (芭比娃娃) - short for Barbara - has always had a home on toy store shelves. According to The New York Times, however, “she” is more than just a toy. Barbie is watching the society’s changing attitudes (态度) toward women.
When Barbie was first introduced by Ruth Handler (1916-2002), one of the starters of US toy company Mattel, she had good plans. “Barbie has always shown the fact that a woman has choices,” according to a book, Dream Doll: The Ruth Handler Story.
But the earliest Barbie wasn’t offered too many choices at all. Barbie appeared either in a swimsuit or a housewife’s dress.
A good point is that the following years showed some progress, as Mattel introduced Barbie dolls with different skin colors and clothing for different jobs and hobbies. A new turning point came on International Women’s Day of 2018, when the company started a line of “Inspiring Women”. The dolls came out as famous women from history, including great US pilot Amelia Earhart and UK boxer (拳击手) Nicola Adams, which encouraged all other women.
But even though Mattel seemed to have good purposes, these new dolls weren’t safe from bad words. Unlike the real Nicola Adams, for example, the doll has no muscles (肌肉). Instead, it’s designed with a slim body, just like every other Barbie. According to the reporter Grace Kang, this exactly reflects the world’s present attitude toward women. “We’re allowed to be fit, but we’re not supposed to have too many muscles. We’re allowed to be clever, but smart women are meant to look like models with glasses on. We’re allowed to be creative and artistic, but quickly become ‘crazy’ if we start to look too messy,” she wrote.
No, Barbie isn’t perfect. But she’s slowly changing people’s views. Maybe that’s one thing real women can do.
