Question

【題目】 Everyone loves toys. But do you know how a toy is designed and produced? A visit to Yottoy, a toy company in New York, can show you how to do this. Yottoy produces toys that are based on children's books. These toys include Paddington Bear, Little Prince and Mary's Little Lamb.

Peter Doodeheefver, who designs the toys, took us around his shop to see how the toys are created.

We visited a sewing （ 縫 紉 ） station. People there were busy sewing some toys together. Later, we saw another station where a woman was painting pieces of a Paddington Bear toy set. Here, we leared how they use clay（黏土）and molds（模具 ）to create toy parts, The molds are painted to look like characters from children's books.

Throughout the toy-creating process, the creators keep in touch with the writers of the books. They need to make sure the toys perfectly match the images the writers describe in their books. Sometimes changing the color of the fabric （ 織 物 ） or the length of the arms can take the toy more accurate. It can be something as simple as making the hole in a doughnut just a little hit bigger or making the eyes look smaller.

Once their toys are created, they send them to a lab for safety tests. At the lab, they make sure all the parts are put together perfectly. For example, they make sure the eyes can't be removed by a baby, or that piece of the toys won't fall off. After the lab says the toys are ready, they can be sold.

文章大意：短文主要是作者介紹紐約的一家玩具公司Yottoy向人們展示如何制作玩具的過程。

【1】主旨大意題。文章開頭就用 "你知道怎么設(shè)計(jì)和制造玩具嗎？" 引出話題。故文章的目的是展示玩具是怎樣設(shè)計(jì)和制造的。故答案為To show how the toys are designed and created.

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從第三段最后一句The molds are painted to look like characters from children's books.可知模具都被化成了兒童書中的樣子，所以玩具是基于兒童書生產(chǎn)的。故答案為Children's books。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第三段前兩句People there were busy sewing some toys together. Later, we saw another station where a woman was painting pieces of a Paddington Bear toy set.可知縫紉工作站里人們匆忙地將玩具縫在一起，所以它是一個(gè)玩具被匆忙縫起來的地方，故答案為toys are sewed busily.

【4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。文章第四段前兩句Throughout the toy-creating process, the creators keep in touch with the writers of the books. They need to make sure the toys perfectly match the images the writers describe in their books.概況出創(chuàng)造者練習(xí)的原因是為了保證玩具形象和書中形象一致。故答案為To make the toys perfectly match the image in the books.

【5】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。文章最后一句After the lab says the toys are ready, they can be sold.

可知，實(shí)驗(yàn)室同意玩具準(zhǔn)備好以后才能被買出。故答案為After the lab say the toys are ready.
