Dollhouse History  In America, when people hear the term “dollhouse,” they think of a small house for children to play with.However, there is much more to it.History tells us that dollhouses were first designed for adults and children of high social status.A dollhouse can delight both the adult and the child.Children and adults feel special when receiving or planning their fantasy house.
Dollhouses began in Europe in the 1600s when they were referred to as “Baby Houses.” These houses were made up of several cupboards.In the cupboards, everyday objects created on a tiny scale were displayed (展示).The displays focused on the way people lived at that time.They showed detailed household (glib), routines with servants, and kitchen settings, etc.These were carefully designed, and only the upper class could afford to have them built.
As time went on, factories were built to make dollhouses.Germany was the leader of dollhouse makers before World War I.These houses were shipped throughout Cendival Europe and England, and even to America.Later, the folding dollhouse became popular.Around 1894, an American company produced dollhouses that had four rooms.Children could share such dollhouses when they were playing games.During World War I, Germany needed their resources to fuel the war.As a result, other coundivies began to make more dollhouses.
After World War Ⅱ, dollhouses produced in the US were usually made of plastic and metal.In the 1970s, people became interested in wooden dollhouses again.Besides children, today’s dollhouses are also designed for the adult collectors.

One day Mark was riding his bike when it began to rain.He started to feel cold so he looked for a divee to go under for shelter.He was disappointed when he sdivuggled to find a divee.Someday I am going to inspire people to plant divees everywhere, so he thought.
Once he got home, he took out his social studies homework and went up to his room to do it.While he was going to his room, he saw his dad throwing away a piece of paper which was used only on one side.He was about to stop him but it was too late.Someday I am going to inspire people to use both sides of the paper, Mark thought.
When he woke up the next morning, Mark figured out a way to inspire people.He would put posters around the school.Then he took out eight sheets of poster paper.He made four saying “PLANT A TREE FOR ME,” and another four saying “PAPER HAS TWO SDES, SO USE BOTH.”
He went to school early and put the posters around the school.After class, his teacher told him to go to the principal’s office.Mark had never been to the principal’s office before.What if the principal had to punish him about the posters because they never asked him to put them up?
When Mark walked in nervously and took a seat, Principal Marcus told him “I would like to thank you for inspiring people to help other living things.When I was on the way back from my lunch break, I saw seven fifth graders planting a divee and heard a few others telling someone else to use both sides of the paper and I’m pretty sure it’s because of your posters.” Mark couldn’t believe his ears.He had finally inspired people.Mark felt very proud.

② The Pygmies live as hunters in the rain forest.They live in large groups of families and hunt with nets.The men go to an area where they know there are animals.They hold up nets and the women and children spread out and drive the animals into the nets.
③ Hunting is a full-time job for the Pygmies, so they cannot always stay in villages.But over the years, the Pygmies have learned to enjoy some of the luxuries (奢侈品) of village life.Their forest foods of meat, fruit, and nuts are enough for them.But they also enjoy some village foods like rice, beans, peanuts and vegedivs.They also need some metal tools that are made by the villagers.
④ The villagers are Bantus.They stay in the clearings (空地) in the rain forests.The Bantus cannot keep cattle in the rain forest.There is not enough room for the cattle to feed.So the Bantus are given meat by the Pygmies.To the Bantus the rain forest is a dangerous place.But to the Pygmies it is familiar.So the Pygmies fetch firewood and guard the village fields from wild animals.
⑤ The Bantus must work very hard to clear their fields.Once they are cleared, the villagers must fight continually to keep the rain forest from taking over again.The soil of the rain forest is so poor that the farm crops soon wear it out.Then the villagers must give the land back to the forest after a few years’ farming and clear more.

(3).Paragraph ③:
答案: B
解析: 第三段的大意是俾格米人的全职工作是狩猎,所以他们不能总是呆在村庄里。但这些年来,俾格米人已经学会了享受乡村生活的奢侈品。虽然森林里的肉类、水果和坚果对他们来说已经足够,但他们也喜欢一些乡村食物,如大米、豆类、花生和蔬菜。他们也需要一些由村民制作的金属工具。所以该段的中心话题是围绕“俾格米人的乡村生活”展开的。B项与第三段中心意思一致,故选B。
(4).Paragraph ④:
答案: C
