二聽力原文

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?
Q10. Why do some people feel unsatisfied with the new Barbie dolls?
Q11. Where will the new Barbie dolls be sold first?

三、答案

9. A
10. D
11. C

【翻譯】

芭比娃娃長(zhǎng)得很特別。

它們又高又瘦，腿很長(zhǎng)，實(shí)際上和真實(shí)的人類相差甚遠(yuǎn)。

盡管多年來芭比娃娃有了超過180種不同職業(yè)，包括足球教練、手語教師、大使、總統(tǒng)和宇航員，但是娃娃的形態(tài)并未變化多少。

芭比娃娃制造公司美泰去年新增一些款式，擁有不同的膚色和發(fā)質(zhì)。

現(xiàn)在的芭比娃娃有七種膚色、二十二種眼睛顏色和二十四種發(fā)型供選擇。

去年美泰還給芭比娃娃新設(shè)了平腳底，新芭比不像原先的芭比那樣只能一直穿高跟鞋。

現(xiàn)在美泰正推銷擁有三種體型略微不同的新芭比娃娃，同時(shí)也繼續(xù)售賣又高又瘦的老式芭比。

美泰在官網(wǎng)的聲明中提出，公司希望芭比娃娃看起來更像真人，為女孩們提供更多可能，激發(fā)她們的想象力，玩出她們自己的故事。

盡管很多人認(rèn)為新芭比走對(duì)了方向，但仍有一些人認(rèn)為這還不夠。

他們認(rèn)為新體型可以和又高又瘦的老型號(hào)設(shè)計(jì)得更為不同。

根據(jù)CBC新聞，芭比娃娃的銷售額"自2012年起每年"都在下跌。

新芭比商店里還沒有，但從這周起將在芭比官網(wǎng)售賣，定價(jià)9.99美元。

請(qǐng)根據(jù)你剛剛聽到的對(duì)話回答問題9至問題11。

問題9：有關(guān)老版的芭比娃娃我們知道些什么？

問題10：為什么有些人對(duì)新芭比娃娃不大滿意？

問題11：新版芭比娃娃會(huì)先在哪兒售賣？
