(1) SAN FRANCISCO — After months of feverish speculation, Steven P. Jobs introduced Wednesday what Apple hopes will be the coolest device on the planet: a slender tablet computer called the iPad. However, the question is whether the iPad can achieve anything close to the success of the iPhone, which transformed the cellphone and forced the industry to race to catch up.
(2) Apple is positioning the device, some versions of which will be available in March, as a pioneer in a new genre of computing, somewhere between a laptop and a smartphone. Half an inch thick and weighing 11/2 pounds, the device will vividly display books, newspapers, Web sites and videos on a 9.7-inch glass touch screen. Giving media companies another way to sell content, it may herald a new era for publishing.
(3) But the iPad, costing $499 to $829, also lacks some features common in laptops and phones, as technology enthusiasts were quick to point out. To its instant critics, it was little more than an oversize iPod Touch. A camera is notably absent, and Flash, the ubiquitous software that handles video and animation on the Web, does not work on the device.
(4) Another thing missing is an alternative to the AT&T data network, which is already buckling under the strain of traffic to and from iPhones. Some versions of the iPad can, for a monthly fee, use a 3G data connection like cellphones, but the only carrier mentioned was AT&T.
(5) Mr. Jobs posited that the iPad was the best device for certain kinds of computing, like browsing the Web, reading e-books and playing video. The iPad "is so much more intimate than a laptop, and it’s so much more capable than a smartphone with its gorgeous screen," he said in presenting the device to a crowd of journalists and Apple employees here. "It’s phenomenal to hold the Internet in your hands."
(6) One question Apple faces is whether there is enough room for another device in the cluttered lives of consumers. Mr. Golvin said book lovers would continue to opt for lighter, cheaper e-readers like the Amazon Kindle, while people looking for a small Web-ready computer would gravitate toward the budget laptops known as netbooks. But other analysts say they have heard similar criticism before — once aimed at the iPhone, which has now been bought by more than 42 million people around the world. These believers say Apple’s judgment on the market is nearly infallible.
(7) The success of the iPhone and its cousin, the iPod Touch, have shown a path for tablets. People have been willing to pay to customize those devices with applications, turning them into video game machines, compasses, city guides and e-book readers. [br] In Paragraph 5, "phenomenal" can be replaced by________.
选项
A、horrifying
B、unreasonable
C、convenient
D、cool
答案
D
解析
词汇题。从文中可以看出,乔布斯介绍iPad时希望强调其时尚性,能把互联网放在手心中是一件很酷的事,故选D。其他选项代入原文都会产生负面意义,与乔布斯先生说话的初衷不符。
