In 1959, Handler changed how toy dolls were made when she introduced Barbie to the world.
With her mature figure, Barbie was one of the first grown-up dolls to hit the retail market.
Handler wanted to create a toy that was different from the baby dolls that dominated little girls'
toy boxes. She wanted a doll that girls could project their future dreams upon and allowed for
limitless clothing and career choices. Inspired by paper dolls of the time, Handler, to much
disagreement, made sure Barbie had the body of a grown woman.
My own philosophy of Barbie, Handler wrote in her autobiography, was that through the
doll, the little girl could be anything she wanted to be. Barbie always represented the fact that a
woman had choices.
There's even a Barbie for cancer patients-Brave Barbie-a partnership between Mattel and
CureSearch that sends a bald （ 光 头 的 ） Barbie to families affected by cancer. Gifting my
daughter a Barbie who suffered from cancer was tremendous, Michelle, a cancer survivor said,
We would play with that Barbie together and I'd heartbreakingly watch her pretend to take the doll
to the hospital for chemo（化疗）, or place its long wig on top of its head and tell the doll It's time
to be beautiful again.”
Bald Barbie was super brave and went on awesome adventures after chemo. Sometimes she
felt sick and needed to sleep, but would feel much better after a rest. Bald Barbie always beat the
cancer and went on to live a long and happy life with her family. That Barbie became so much more
than a plastic doll - she was a means of communication and a coping mechanism during an
extremely distressing time for little families.
24. Why did Handler create Barbie?
A. To make a hit in the retail market.
B. To appeal to girls with her diverse outfits.
C. To do a project on women's career choices.
D. To inspire girls to make choices as they wish.
25. How might Michelle feel when watching her daughter with Brave Barbie?
A. Sad yet comforted. B. Envious yet proud.
C. Overwhelmed and ashamed. D. Heartbroken and regretful.
26. What does Brave Barbie mean to Michelle's family?
A. A reliable emotional support. B. A glue for broken relationships.

C. An effective practical treatment. D. A secret medium of negotiation.

That dinosaurs ate the mammals（哺乳动物） that ran beneath their feet is not in doubt. Now
an extraordinary fossil newly described in Scientific Reports, unearthed by a team led by Gang Han
at Hainan Vocational University of Science and Technology in China, shows that sometimes the
tables were turned.
The fossil - dated to about 125 million years ago, during the Cretaceous period - was formed
when a flow of boiling volcanic mud swallowed two animals seemingly locked in a life-and-death
fight. The one on top is a mammal. This animal is a herbivorous species closely related to the
Triceratops （ 三角 恐 龙 ） . Animal interactions such as this are exceptionally rare in the fossil
record.
One possibility is that the mammal was eating something already dead, rather than hunting live
prey. These days it is uncommon for small mammals to attack much larger animals. But it is not
unheard of. And Dr. Han and his colleagues point out that those mammals which eat dead bodies
typically leave tooth marks all over the bones of the animals. The dinosaur's remains show no such
marks. There is also a chance the fossil could be a fake. - More and more convincing fakes have
emerged, as this one did - though Dr. Han and his colleagues argue that the complexly connected
nature of the skeletons（骨骼） makes that unlikely, too.
Assuming it is genuine, the discovery serves as a reminder that not all dinosaurs were
enormous during the Cretaceous and not all mammals were tiny. From nose to tail, the dinosaur is
just 1. 2 meters long. The mammal is a bit under half a meter in length. Despite being half the size,
the mammal has one paw firmly wrapped around one of its prey's limbs, and another pulling on its
jaw. It is biting down on the dinosaur's chest, and has ripped off two of its ribs. Before they were
interrupted, it seems that the mammal was winning.
28. Which idiom is closest in meaning to underlined part the tables were turned in paragraph
1?
A. The fittest survives. B. The hunters become hunted.

C. Fortune always favors the brave. D. The truth will always come to light.
29. Why does the author mention the tooth mark in paragraph 3?
A. To prove the fossil was fake.
B. To show the forming of the fossil.
C. To illustrate the process of hunting.
D. To suggest the dinosaur was hunted alive.
30. What makes Dr. Han think the fossil is genuine?
A. The size of the fossil. B. The absence of fake fossils.
C. The complexity of the skeletons. D. The consistency of the opinions.
31. What is the function of the last paragraph?
A. It offers a cause. B. It highlights a solution.
C. It justifies the conclusion. D. It provides a new discovery.
D
Philosophers have a bad reputation for expressing themselves in a dry and boring way. The
ideals for most philosophical writing are precision, clarity, and the sort of conceptual analysis that
leaves no hair un-split.
There is nothing wrong with clarity, precision, and the like-but this isn't the only way to do
philosophy. Outside academic journals, abstract philosophical ideas are often expressed through
literature, cinema, and song. There's nothing that grabs attention like a good story, and there are
some great philosophical stories that delight and engage, rather than putting the reader to sleep.
One of the great things about this is that, unlike formal philosophy, which tries to be very clear,
stories don't wear their meanings on their sleeve - they require interpretation, and often express
conflicting ideas for the reader to wrestle with.
Consider what philosophers call the metaphysics（形而上学） of race-an area of philosophy
that explores the question of whether or not race is real. There are three main positions that you can
take on these questions. You might think that a person's race is written in their genes （a position
known as biological realism）. Or you might think of race as socially real, like days of the week
or currencies （ social constructionism）. Finally, you might think that races are unreal - that
学科 网（北 京）股 份有限 公司
they're more like leprechauns（一种魔法精灵） than they are like Thursdays or dollars （anti-
realism）.
A great example of a story with social constructionist taking on race is George Schuyler's
novel Black No More. In the book, a Black scientist named Crookman invents a procedure that
makes Black people visually indistinguishable from Whites. Thousands of African Americans flock
to Crookman's Black No More clinics and pay him their hard-earned cash to undergo the procedure.
White racists can no longer distinguish those people who are really White from those who merely
appear to be White. In a final episode, Crookman discovers that new Whites are actually a whiter
shade of pale than those who were born that way, which kicks off a trend of sunbathing to darken
one's skin - darkening it so as to look more White.
Philosophically rich stories like this bring more technical works to life. They are stories to
think with.
32. What does the author think of philosophical stories?
A. The meaning behind is very obvious.
B. They are extremely precise and formal.
C. They often cause conflicts among readers.
D. They are engaging and inspire critical thinking.
33. Which category might Christmas fall into according to paragraph 4?
A. Social constructionism. B. Anti-realism.
C. Biological realism. D. Literary realism.
34. What is Black No More in paragraph 5 mainly about?
A. Racial issues caused by skin colors.
B. A societal view on race and self-image.
C. Black people accepted by the white society.
D. The origin of sunbathing among white people.
35. What is the best title of the text?
A. Stories Made Easy B. Stories to Think with
C. Positions in Philosophy D. Nature of Philosophical Writing

In a world that often feels fast-paced and restrained to routines, the desire for van （房车）
life and mobile living has captured the hearts of many seeking an alternative lifestyle. _36_From
the freedom to explore new horizons to fostering a minimalist mindset, here are some captivating
advantages of embracing van life.
Liberation from Materialism
The confined space of a van encourages a minimalist lifestyle, where experiences are valued
over possessions. _37_ With minimal monthly expenses, such as parking fees and fuel costs, van
dwellers can allocate resources to experiences rather than high rent or house payments. This mobile
living is supported by the degrowth movement, which believes that economies should focus on
securing the minimal basic needs instead of consumption and consumerism.
Exploration and Flexibility
The ability to follow adventure wherever it takes you is one of the most amazing aspects of
living in a van. You can choose to wake up at dawn over the ocean one day and find yourself in a
forested mountainside the next. Living in a van frequently involves being close to the outdoors
surrounded by the beauty of nature. _38_
Minimal Ecological Footprint
_39_They adopt solar panels and efficient water systems, further minimizing their impact on
the environment. People who choose to live in mobile homes believe that eventually, global
warming and extreme weather might bring an end to sedentary （定居的） living patterns.
Through the open road, the beauty of nature, and the friendship of fellow adventurers, van life
presents a unique avenue for enriching the human experience. _40_
A. It's thrilling to travel the world.
B. Many van lifers tend to go green.
C. Living in a van can often be more cost-effective.
D. They'll find a sense of freedom of constant exploration.
E. The natural world becomes an essential part of your daily life
F. Better yet, it offers a way to reconnect with the essence of living.
G. The concept of van life offers benefits beyond just a change of scenery.
