Why do we invest so much hope in new technology and why are we so disappointed when the Next Big Thing turns out to be just a new computer? This is what I’m asking myself after Apple’s latest overhyped(过度宣传的)product introduction. This time around the Next Big Thing is called an iPad. It’s【C1】______an oversize iPod Touch, and it will be great for watching movies, reading books, and browsing the Web.
Yet for some of us who sat in the audience watching Steve Jobs introduce the device, the whole thing felt like a letdown. The iPad is a perfectly good product. It’s reasonably【C2】______, and after spending a few minutes with one, I’m pretty sure I’ll buy one for myself and probably a second one for my kids to watch movies on road trips.
Then why are we so【C3】______? The case is that at the very least, we had hoped a tablet from Apple would do something new. Steve Jobs and his team kept using words like "breakthrough" and "magical," but the iPad is neither. It might turn out to be magical for Apple, because what Jobs is really doing here is trying to【C4】______the personal computer with a closed appliance that runs software only from Apple’s online App Store. So instead of selling you a laptop and never hearing from you again, Apple gets a(n) 【C5】______revenue stream with iPad as you keep【C6】______more apps. That really is "magical" for Apple’s bottom line, anyway.
And that’s【C7】______What’s wrong, or at least interesting, is why some of us【C8】______so much more from a new gadget. I suspect this is because for some people, myself【C9】______, technology has become a kind of religion. We may not believe in God anymore, but we still need mystery and wonder. We need the magic【C10】______.
A)expect F)violent K)downloading
B)basically G)desire L)behavior
C)replace H)ongoing M)illusion
D)act I)fine N)priced
E)hardly J)included O)disappointed [br] 【C2】
选项
答案
N
解析
动词辨析题。上一句提到iPad是一个非常好的产品,它——合理,试用几分钟后作者肯定会购买。出于顾客的消费心理,肯定是物美价廉才会买,故N)priced“定价”合乎要求。
