【解析】

本文是一篇說明文，主要介紹了條形碼的含義和發(fā)展歷程。從最初用在產(chǎn)品上幫助消費(fèi)者識(shí)別產(chǎn)品到后來發(fā)展為二維碼被中國人印在火車票上，現(xiàn)在還有仿條形碼的建筑物和游戲。

【1】句意：條形碼包含有關(guān)產(chǎn)品的信息，例如名稱和生產(chǎn)日期。

根據(jù)題干中的舉例“such as name and production date”和首字母提示“i”可知條形碼包含了有關(guān)產(chǎn)品的“信息”，故答案為information。

【2】句意：只需使用條形碼閱讀器掃描條碼，一切就很清楚了。

根據(jù)首字母“c”和“barcode reader 條形碼閱讀器”可知掃碼后產(chǎn)品信息非常的“清楚”，故答案為clear。

【3】句意：除超級市場外，到處都需要條形碼：用于租車，用于飛機(jī)上的行李托運(yùn)，用于你寄送的包裹。

根據(jù)冒號后舉例“for renting cars, for luggage checks on a plane, for parcels you send”和首字母“e”提示可知條形碼存在于我們生活的“方方面面”，故答案為everywhere。

【4】句意：條形碼也發(fā)生了變化。

根據(jù)后文“Barcodes in the past were 1-D, but now there are 2-D barcodes, such as QR code.”和首字母“c”提示可知條形碼從過去的一維“變化”出了現(xiàn)在的二維，如二維碼，故答案為change。

【5】句意：人們可以拿著特定類型的條形碼進(jìn)入體育場，電影院和劇院。

根據(jù)題干中出現(xiàn)的大量地點(diǎn)和首字母“e”的提示可知很多地方已經(jīng)是掃碼“進(jìn)入”了，故答案為enter。

【6】句意：如果您發(fā)現(xiàn)這些條形碼很無聊，那么條形碼建筑物可能就在您的街道上。

根據(jù)后文“barcode building 條形碼建筑物”、“Barcode Monsters 條碼怪獸”和首字母“b”提示可知人們發(fā)明了很多條形碼的其他用途來把“無聊的”條碼變的有趣，故答案為boring。

【7】句意：它看起來很奇怪，但實(shí)際上是一個(gè)購物中心。

根據(jù)前文“barcode building 條形碼建筑物”和后文中的“shopping mall 購物中心”以及首字母“a”提示可知條形碼建筑物“實(shí)際上”就是一個(gè)購物中心，故答案為actually。
