Question

【題目】The hottest“green”toy in Germany isn't made of organic or recycled materials.This one has a solar panel and only runs if kids remember to insert bright red “energy stones”that power the space station.Germany，a pioneer in many renewable energy initiatives，is also at the forefront of creating environmentfriendly toys aimed at making kids think about where energy comes from and how much of it they can use，raising awareness through play.A number of hightech green toys are on display at this year's Nuremberg toy fair，which runs through Sunday.

Among them，there are hydroelectricpowered(水電動(dòng)力的)toy cars，and doll houses with wind turbines and rainwater catchers.The bright green “Future Planet”space station features an inner atrium(中庭)with a fan that is powered by a functioning solar cell.Its aim is to get kids to use their imagination about how energy will be created in the future.

Makers and retailers believe such toys will play an increasingly important role in their future—and that of our kids.“Energy is the question of the future and we are definitely thinking about this as we move ahead，”said Judith Schweinitz，a spokeswoman for Playmobil，maker of the solar panelfitted space station.“It is increasingly being brought into our play concept.”Green toys—which range from those made of sustainable materials to ones like the space station that just raise environmental awareness—make up only a sliver of the $ 84 billion international toy market，but their share is growing，studies indicate.Environmental research firm Earthsense，based in Syracuse，New York，predicts that green toys will account for about $ 1 billion，or 5 percent of U．S.toy sales in the next five years.Parents are smart and they want information about what's in the product.That's what's really driving the market.

【解析】本文向我們介紹了德國(guó)研制的“環(huán)�！蓖婢叩淖钚虑闆r，該研究的目的是提高兒童節(jié)能環(huán)保的意識(shí)。

【1】事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。從第一段第二句可知，德國(guó)目前最受歡迎的“綠色(環(huán)保)”玩具裝有太陽(yáng)能電池板。

【2】事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。從第一段第三句可知，生產(chǎn)這些環(huán)保玩具的目的是提高孩子節(jié)約能源和保護(hù)環(huán)境的意識(shí)。

【3】推理判斷題。從最后一段可推知，雖然這種環(huán)保玩具目前所占的市場(chǎng)份額較小，但它的前景會(huì)很好。
