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 【C1】______ over hyped product introduction. This time around the Next Big Thing is called an iPad. It’s 【C2】______ an oversize iPod Touch, and it will be great for watching movies, reading books, and browsing the Web.
【C3】______ for some of us who sat in the audience watching Steve Jobs introduce the device, the whole thing felt like a 【C4】______ . The iPad is a perfectly good product. It’s reasonably 【C5】______ , and after spending a few minutes with one, I’m pretty sure I’ll buy one for myself and probably 【C6】______ second one for my kids to watch movies on road trips.
Then why are we so【C7】______? The case is that at the very 【C8】______ , we had hoped a tablet from Apple would do something new. Jobs and his 【C9】______ kept using words like "breakthrough" and "magical", but the iPad is 【C10】______ It might turn out to be magical for Apple, because 【C11】______ Jobs is really doing here is trying to【C12】______the personal computer with a closed appliance that runs software only from Apple’s online App Store. So instead of selling you a(n) 【C13】______ and never hearing from you again, Apple gets a(n) 【C14】______ revenue stream with iPad as you keep【C15】______more apps. That really is "magical" for Apple’s bottom line, anyway.
And that’s 【C16】______ . What’s wrong, or at least interesting, is why some of us 【C17】______ so much more from a new gadget. I suspect this is because for some people, myself 【C18】______ , technology has become a kind of 【C19】______ . We may not believe in God anymore, but we still need mystery and wonder. We need the magic 【C20】______ . [br] 【C13】
选项
A、iPad
B、laptop
C、service
D、software
答案
B
解析
名词辨析题[考频:50] 。本句大意为:苹果公司不会卖给你何种产品之后就与你失去联系,它会卖给你iPad,以让你下载更多应用程序。文章明示“它会卖给你iPad”,因此不选A)iPad;C)service“服务”;D) software“软件”。只有B)laptop“手提电脑”合乎语义。app=application“应用程序”。
