21、Swiss designer Didier Rudolf Quarroz’s love of Chinese tea culture has inspired him to design innovative new items to brew the tea. Ouarroz developed an interest in Chinese tea after working at a Shanghai-based design company, where he was by chance engaged in a tea project.

His research helped him develop a deep understanding of the differences between Chinese and Western tea products. And this made him think about designing items for foreigners to brew Chinese tea. “I hope to design easy-to-use and modern tea-making tools to help foreigners try Chinese traditional tea and give them an interesting experience in brewing tea,” Quarroz says.

In 2017,he moved to Hangzhou, capital of East China’s Zhejiang province and a major tea-production base, to explore the possibilities of applying Western concepts in designing objects for Chinese tea. “I want to focus on the tea industry, and Hangzhou is a great fit because of the long history and profound culture of tea here,” Quarroz says.

Quarroz began to concentrate on the design of a tea infuser (注射器) to make brewing easier for foreigners. It’s a glass container with a silicone (硅胶) lid. All users need to do is to put the leaves inside, place it in a cup and add hot water.” The infuser can be taken out from the cup easily without users’ fingers being hurt by the hot water,” Quarroz says.

Hangzhou has a booming tea industry, which has offered the Swiss designer many opportunities to cooperate with local plantations and companies. “Driven by the love of Chinese tea, I cooperate with local companies and help them to develop new kinds of tea products. Also, we sometimes organize workshops to introduce different teas to the public,” Quarroz says.

Hangzhou also enables smooth business operations, he adds. “In general, it is easy to start a business in Hangzhou. And the government and agencies are increasing efforts to help and support young entrepreneurs, including us from foreign countries,” he adds. Quarroz says he plans to design 10 innovative tea-related products by combining Chinese tea culture with international elements.

【1】Quarroz’s new items have the following features EXCEPT______.

A．being designed by hand

B．using Western concepts

C．making brewing easier for foreigners

D．providing interesting brewing experiences

【2】The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 probably refers to the______.

A．container

B．infuser

C．lid

D．leaf

【3】What makes Hangzhou an ideal place for Quarroz to start a business in China?

A．Quarroz obtained many chances to cooperate with state-owned companies.

B．Hangzhou features a newly-built tea industry and has abundant tea projects.

C．Hangzhou organizes many workshops to introduce different teas to the public.

D．Quarroz can receive much help and support from the government and agencies.

【4】What type of writing is the passage?

22、Although his 1-year-old smart-phone still works perfectly, Li Jijia already feels the need to replace it. “There are many better ones available now. It's time to upgrade(更新)my phone.”

Li’s impatience is shared by many. Shortly after the season when new products are released(发布,发售), many consumers feel the urge to upgrade their electronic equipment, even though the ones they have still work just fine.

As consumers’ minds are occupied by Apple’s newly- released products and debate whether the Google tablet is better than the new Amazon Kindle, it might be time to take a step back and ask: “Do we really need the latest upgrades?”

According to Donald Norman, an American author, “planned obsolescence (淘汰)” is the trick behind the upgrading culture of today’s consumer electronics industry.

Electronics producers strategically(战略性地) release new upgrades periodically, both for hardware and software, so that customers on every level feel the need to buy the newest version.

“This is an old-time trick---they’re not inventing anything new,” Norman said. “This is a wasteful system through which companies--many of them producing personal electronics-- release poor-quality products simply because they know that, in six months or a year, they’ll put out a new one.”

But the new psychology of consumers is part of this system, as Norman admitted, “We now want something new, something pretty, the next shiny thing.” In its most recent year, Apple's profit margin(利润) was more than 21 percent. At Hewlett-Packard, the world’s biggest PC maker, it was only 7 percent.

Apple’s annual upgrades of its products create sales of millions of units as owners of one year’s MacBook or iPhone line up to buy the newest version(版本), even when the changes are slight.

As to Li Jijia, the need for upgrading his smart-phone comes mainly from friends and classmates. When they are switching to the latest equipment, he worries about feeling left out.

“Some games require better hardware to run,” said Li. “If you don't join in, you lose part of the connection to your friends.”

【1】What’s the author’s attitude towards people’s greed for new products?

A. Supportive.   B. Satisfied.

C. Critical.   D. Unclear.

【2】How do the electronics companies successfully promote their latest products?

A. They make a fool of customers by recycling their old products.

B. They make full use of the “planned obsolescence” strategy.

C. They control the customers’ way of thinking while shopping.

D. They invent new products to attract the youth like Li Jijia.

【3】Why is Apple Company interested in producing latest version of its product?

A. To provide customers with better service.

B. To defeat other competitors like Hewlett-Packard.

C. To establish a favorable image of itself among its customers.

D. To make huge profits(利润) out of its business.

【4】It can be inferred (推断)from the last two paragraphs that Li Jijia feels the need to replace his smart-  phone because of_____.

A. peer pressure   B. new psychology

C. life style   D. friends' expectation

24、   When I was a child, I dreamed of becoming different kinds of people in the future. Sometimes, I wished I was an astronaut going up into space, finding new planets and jumping around in a cool spacesuit. Sometimes, I imagined being a cowboy in the Wild West, wearing cool cowboy boots. On other occasions, I pretended to be a famous footballer, using my skills to score lots of goals for my team.

Looking back, I realize that imagination is a wonderful thing. I was able to create entire environments and scenarios (剧情梗概) in my head, using nothing more than my brain, and make things in my everyday surroundings to fit a story of the day. Growing up with siblings (兄弟姐妹)also helped, as it meant that even bigger stories could be created. We could combine our ideas and put our thoughts into action. It also allowed for more varieties (变化) in the stories, as sometimes I could be a hero while on other occasions, I would be a bad guy.

One of my all-time favorite memories as a kid was playing in my back garden. I played the role of Indiana Jones with my younger sister as my assistant and my brother as a bad person. We used everything in our garden, from the path to the fence, as a part of the storyline to create troubles that needed to be overcome, and we would keep the story going for hours!

My personal favorite game was searching the Easter eggs. My brother hid small chocolate eggs around the garden and my sister and I had to find them by answering questions or solving a puzzle. It was difficult, but finally we found all the eggs and shared them together.
