一年一度的苹果秋季新品发布会,就像跨年晚会一样,让众多果粉期待不已。
美国当地时间9月12日上午10点(北京时间9月13日凌晨1点),在史蒂夫·乔布斯剧院举行苹果新品发布会,有多少科技宅守着看直播了呢?
苹果2018秋季新品发布会(同声传译版)
这次只发布了一款Apple Watch和三部新品iPhone,并且又刷新了史上最大最贵的iphone手机,顶配价格达到12799元。还有非常接地气的双卡双待款,颜色也有六种可选。
但是这次苹果新品发布会并未给市场带来足够惊喜。第一个亮相的最新版智能手表发布后,苹果股价一度抹平跌幅转涨。但在iPhone X新品发布后,股价不但转跌,而且最终创三年来新品发布日最大跌幅。到临近13日凌晨3点苹果发布会结束时科技英文单词,苹果股价仍跌超1%科技英文单词,盘中一度跌破220美元,跌幅达到约1.8%。最终,苹果收跌1.24%,创2015年以来iPhone新品发布日的最大跌幅。
与此同时,原版iPhoneX在官网悄然下架!网友调侃道:iPhoneX,生于2017年11月3日,卒于2018年9月13日,享年10个月零10天。
怕大家肾疼,今天伟哥就不过多展示苹果新手机了。我们来一起看看考研英语中,那些关于科技信息、技术媒体类的阅读真题。
大家根据原文定位,先自己做做看:
Beyond Paid Media: Marketing’s New Vocabulary(超越付费媒体:营销新词汇)
主题:传统的付费媒体(电视、广播、路边广告牌等)受到网络和新型付费媒体的影响,众多企业在不断改变营销模式。消费者在购买商品的决策过程也说明,市场营销的影响力来自传统付费媒体以外的诸多因素。
The same dramatic technological changes that have provided marketers with more (and more diverse) communications choices have also increased the risk that passionate consumers will voice their opinions in quicker, more visible, and much more damaging ways. Such hijacked media are the opposite of earned media: an asset or campaignbecome hostage to consumers, other stakeholders, or activists who make negative allegationsabout a brand or product. Members of social networks, for instance, are learning that they can hijack media to apply pressure on the businesses that originally created them.
1. The author indicates in Paragraph 3 that earned media ____.
[A] invite constant conflicts with passionate consumers
[B] can be used to produce negative effects in marketing
[C] may be responsible for fiercer competition
[D] deserve all the negative comments about them
词汇积累:
approach v. 着手处理
purchase n. 购买
factor n. 因素
property n. 所有物,财产
promote v. 宣传,推销
initiator n. 创始者,首创者
appeal n. 吸引力,呼吁
stakeholders n. 利益相关者,股东
steep adj. 陡的,急剧的
alleviate v.减轻,缓解
boycott v. / n. 抵制
Change of Track(信息追踪方式的改变)
主题:在互联网时代,广告投放的成本越来越低,追踪用户信息对广告商来说存在着很高的价值,但是浏览器开发者设置的“禁止追踪”设置,对广告商产生的不利影响引发了很大的争议。
It is not yet clear how advertisers will respond. Getting a DNT signal does not oblige anyone to stop tracking, although some companies have promised to do so. Unable to tell whether someone really objects to behavioural ads or whether they are sticking with Microsoft’s default, some may ignore a DNT signal and press on anyway.
2. Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 6?
[A] DNT may not serve its intended purpose.
[B] Advertisers are willing to implement DNT.
[C] DNT is losing its popularity among consumers.
[D] Advertisers are obliged to offer behavioural ads.
词汇积累:
budget n. 预算
fraction n. 小部分
explicit adj. 明确的
brower n. 浏览器
default n. 预设,默认值
executive n. 主管
indirect adj. 间接的,迂回的
guarantee v. 保证,担保
The Economic Importace to Teach Coaing to Teens(教青少年学习编程的经济意义)
主题:编程专业并非在大学期间才可以开始学习,尽早学习计算机技术,有利于培养学生的逻辑思维能力。学生的未来生活与计算机息息相关,学习编程的唯一目的并非为了找工作。
The students in the Flatiron class probably won’t drop out of high school and build the next Facebook. Programming languages have a quick turnover, so the “Ruby on Rails” language they learned may not even be relevant by the time thew enter the job market. But the skills they learn——how to think logically through a problem and organize the results——apply to any coding language, said Deborah Seehorn, an education consultant for the state of North Carolina.
3. Deborah Seehorn believes that the skills learned at Flatiron will _____.
[A] help students learn other computer languages
[B] have to be upgraded when new technologies come
[C] need improving when students look for jobs
[D] enable students to make big quick money
词汇积累:
introductory adj. 引导的,介绍的
string n. 一连串,一系列,一列
hypothese n. 假定,臆测
chunk n. 大块,(数量)相当大
drop out of 退学,失学
turnover n.(立场、意见等的)转变
coax v. 用巧妙的方式或不懈努力达到既定目的

1.B 2.A 3.A
题目解析
1. 定位句:The same dramatic technological changes that have provided marketers with more (and more diverse) communications choices have also increased the risk that passionate consumers will voice their opinions in quicker, more visible, and much more damaging ways.
A选项为干扰项,文章并没有说消费者产生了冲突(主观臆测错误);定位句译为:剧烈的技术变革使营销人员获得了数量更多、种类更广的沟通选择,但同时也带了更高的风险,因为激动的消费者能够以更迅速、更明显、更有害的方式来表达他们的意见。题干的主体是earned media(免费媒体),B选项才能更准确地表达定位句的意思。
2. 定位句:Unable to tell whether someone really objects to behavioural ads or whether they are sticking with Microsoft ‘s default, some may ignore a DNT signal and press on anyway.
C、D选项不符合文意,均可排除,定位句的意思是:由于不能辨别一些用户到底是真的反感“行为”广告还是只保留了微软的默认设置,某些企业可能会无视DNT,继续先前行为。这句话可以看出广告商其实是无法判断DNT对于用户的影响的,因此DNT并没有达到它预期的目的,正确答案选A。
3. 定位句:But the skills they learn——how to think logically through a problem and organize the results——apply to any coding language, said Deborah Seehorn, an education consultant for the state of North Carolina.
先分析定位句,主干应该是破折号两端的内容:But the skills they learn … apply to any coding language,意思是现在学生学到的技能适用于任何编程语言。也就是说学生在学习其他编程语言时,也会更加适应。因此A为正确选项。
而B、C都为主观臆测的干扰线,编程语言变化快(Programming languages have a quick turnover)并不意味着新科技的升级(have to be upgraded when new technologies come);所学的开发语言可能会过时(so the “Ruby on Rails” language they learned may not even be relevant by the time thew enter the job market)也不能臆测为在找工作时要提高自己的技能(need improving when students look for jobs)。
最后再给大家小小科普一下iPhone X新品系列的读法。
【装X也要好好做功课
】
去年发布的iPhone X,很多人都叫他,iPhone叉、iPhone爱克斯…
其实这里的“X”是罗马数字十,所以应该念iPhone Ten。
而今年的新品iPhone XR,这个“R”是reincarnation的缩写:
reincarnation n. 转世再生[ˌriːɪnkɑːˈneɪʃ(ə)n]
eg. DNA is just another theory for reincarnation.
