　　Stonehenge(巨石阵)may have been a prehistoric health center rather than a site for observing stars or a temple in honor of the dead, scientists said yesterday. New evidence unearthed at the World Heritage Site in more than 40 years suggests that the monument was a place where the diseased and injured went in groups, seeking cures.

　　After a two­week dig, scientists have concluded that Stonehenge was “the ancient healthcare centre of southern England” because of the existence of “bluestones”—the smaller columns of dolerite(辉绿岩)that formed an earlier stone structure.

　　By dating pieces of remains to around 7330BC, Tim Darvill, of Bournemouth University, and Goff Wainwright, of the Society of Amtiquaries have found that hunter­gatherers were at the site on Salisbury Plain 4,000 years earlier than thought. The first stage of Stonehenge, a round earthwork structure, was built around 3000BC. Professor Wainwright added: “I did not expect the degree of complexity we discovered. We're able to say so much more about when Stonehenge was built and why—all of which changes our previous understanding of the monument.”

　　The research reveals the importance of the henge's famous bluestones. Hundreds of bluestone chips gathered at the site have led the team to conclude that the bluestones were valued for their curing effects—the key reason that about 80 of them, each weighing up to 4 tons and a half, were dragged more than 150 miles from the Preseli Hills to Wiltshire. After years of research, Professors Darvill and Wainwright have concluded that, for thousands of years, the Preseli mountain range was home to magical health centers and holy wells.

　　Even today there are those who believe in the curing powers of the springs for coughs and heart disease, and people who use crystals and bluestones for self­curing. Radiocarbon tests have also revealed that the construction of the original bluestone circle took place around 2300BC, three centuries later than originally thought. Interestingly, on the same day died the “Amesbury Archer”—a sick traveler from the Swiss or German Alps who had an infected knee—whose remains were discovered about five miles from Stonehenge. The professors believe that he was a devoted religious person who was hoping to benefit from the curing powers of the monument.

　　(2017·北京东城统一检测)

　　Does style really sell?

　　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 London's 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 something's 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 vacuum cleaner 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.

　　文章大意：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。

　　5．Mr. Dyson left the Design Museum because he thought the

　　museum ________.

　　A．didn't increase the number of visitors

　　B．couldn't provide scholarships for learners

　　C．wasn't loyal to its original purpose of learning

　　D．didn't have great appeal for serious industrial design

　　答案：C　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。

　　6．Speaking of clothing, the underlined word “latter” refers to ______.

　　A．affording protection

　　B．indicating one's identity

　　C．providing warmth

　　D．making someone beautiful

　　答案：D　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。

　　7．What can we learn from Paragraph 4?

　　A．A product with convenient packaging sells well.

　　B．The majority of consumers prefer to buy branded goods.

　　C．Most similarly priced products are of a comparable standard.

　　D．Emotion contributes much to the development of advertising industry.

　　答案：C　细节理解题。由第四段的第一句可知，大多数指定价格点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。故C项正确。

　　8．The author believes that people buy the Dyson vacuum cleaner

　　because ________.

　　A．it has very good suction

　　B．it is fashionable

　　C．it sells well around the world

　　D．it is invented by James Dyson

　　答案：B　细节理解题。由最后一段的“the main reason people pay extra... with a trendy brand”可知，人们买这种真空吸尘器是因为它是一种时髦的品牌，trendy与fashionable同义。因此选B项。

　　9．What is the author's attitude towards the form of a product?

　　A．Optimistic.

　　B．Sceptical.

　　C．Disapproving.

　　D．Objective.

　　答案：D　推理判断题。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，因此作者对产品的外形持客观的态度。选D项。
