how can the appearance of a product be more important than what it does? the battle between form and function rose again when james dyson，british inventor of the dyson vacuum(真空) cleaner that has sold in millions around the world，resigned as chairman of londons design museum.it is widely believed that mr.dyson felt that the museum put too much stress on style at the expense of serious industrial design.mr.dyson accused the museum of not keeping true to itself.he may be right，but these days，museums everywhere can no longer afford to be unique centers of scholarship and learning.among competition for sponsorship，they must use exhibitions of populist culture，nice cafes and shops or，best of all，a new building by frank gehry to increase visitor numbers.on the one hand，some producers can be too oldfashioned and too concerned with the importance of product engineering and the functionality of their goods.on the other hand，there are those who believe that how a product looks is more important.design is indeed a broad term，involving both function and form.typically，in any given product area，it changes from the former to the latter.clothing is a good example.but surely you would have to be a very shallow person to think somethings appearance is more important than what it does.today nearly all goods at any given price point do much the same job.so almost the only way producers can differentiate their products from those of their competitors is to create some sort of emotional connection with the consumer，which could be through the visual appeal of the product or its packaging，or the imagery(意象) created by advertising.and what of the dyson vacuum cleaner? mr.dyson may believe that people buy these machines because of the graphs showing their superior suction，but most vacuum cleaners do a good job；the main reason people pay extra for a dyson is that it is a vacuum cleaner with a trendy brand.with its inside workings exposed，it is a bit like a richard rogers building with all its pipes shown in bright colors on the outside instead of being hidden inside.functional it may be，but it is a bit of a trick，too.【语篇导读】英国吸尘器发明家dyson因强烈反对设计博物馆太过注重外在的风格样式而辞职，他认为这里应该是研究学问的地方。1mr.dyson left the design museum because he thought the museum _.adidnt increase the number of visitorsbcouldnt provide scholarships for learnerscwasnt loyal to its original purpose of learningddidnt have great appeal for serious industrial design解析推理判断题。由第一段的最后一句话和第二段的第一句可知，他辞职是因为设计博物馆太注重风格样式。他认为这里应该是研究学问的地方，他们的做法违背了这个初衷。答案c2speaking of clothing，the underlined word“latter” refers to “_ ”aaffording protectionbindicating ones identitycproviding warmthdmaking someone beautiful解析词义猜测题。根据文章内容可知，这里的latter指的是前面一句话中的form，即外形。因此d项正确。答案d3what can we learn from paragraph 4?aa product with convenient packaging sells well.bthe majority of consumers prefer to buy branded goods.cmost similarly priced products are of a comparable standard.demotion contributes much to the development of advertising industry.解析细节理解题。由第四段的第一句可知，大多数指定价格的产品都做着同样的工作，即大多数相似价格的产品都有可比的标准。所以c项正确。答案c4what is the authors attitude towards the form of a product?aoptimistic. bsceptical.cdisapproving. dobjective.解析态度推断题。由最后两段的内容可知，作者认为产品的外形还是很重要的，但也是个小花招，因此作者对产品外形持客观的态度。选d。答案d阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（a、b、c和d)中，选出最佳选项。【2013界上海市宝山区质量监测】 discoveries in science and technology are thought by “untaught minds” to come in blinding flashes or as the result of dramatic accidents. sir alexander fleming did not, as legend would have it, look at the mold ( 霉 ) on a piece of cheese and get the idea for penicillin there and then. he experimented with antibacterial substances for nine years before he made his discovery. inventions and innovations almost always come out of tough trial and error. innovation is like soccer; even the best players miss the goal and have their shots blocked much more frequently than they score. the point is that the players who score most are the ones who take most shots at the goaland so it goes with innovation in any field of activity. the prime difference between innovation and others is one of approach. everybody gets ideas, but innovators work consciously on theirs, and they follow them through until they prove practicable or otherwise. what ordinary people see as fanciful abstractions, professional innovators see as solid possibilities. “creative thinking may mean simply the realization that theres no particular goodness in doing things the way they have always been done.” wrote rudolph flesch, a language authority. this accounts for our reaction to seemingly simple innovations like plastic garbage bags and suitcases on wheels that make life more convenient: “how come nobody thought of that before?” the creative approach begins with the proposal that nothing be as it appears. innovators will not accept that there is only one way to do anything. faced with getting from a to b, the average person will automatically set out on the best-known and ap
