Questions 9 to 11 are based on the passage you have just heard.

Passage One

    Barbie dolls have a particular look to them. （9）They are thin, tall, long-legged and virtually unlike any real human being. Although, over the years, Barbies 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 17 skin tones, 22 eye colours and 24 hair styles to choose from. Last year, MATTEL also gave Barbies a flat foot rather than forcing her to be “in heels” all the time like an original Barbie is. Now, they are introducing new Barbies with 3 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 the stories. （10）Although many people say the new Barbies are stepping in the right direction, some people say they don’t go far enough. They say the new Barbie shapes could be even more different from the original tall, thin Barbies. Sales of Barbie dolls have been falling every years since 2012, according to CBC news. （11）The toys aren’t in stores yet, but they will be sold online at the Barbie website, starting this week, for $9.99.

9. What do we know about the original Barbie dolls?

解析：A。问题为：对于最初版本的芭比娃娃，我们知道什么？根据原文所在句They are thin, tall, long-legged and virtually unlike any real human being可知，它们身形纤长，腿长苗条，看上去并不像真实的人类。选项A）They are thin, tall, and unlike real human beings跟原文表达几乎一模一样。
