Bad News for Apple; Good
News for Humanity
When Apple cut
its
revenue estimate
(
收益预期
) for the last quarter
of 2018 because of
unexpectedly slow
sales of iPhones, markets trembled. The company's
share price, which had been
(31)________ or months, fell by a
further 10% on January 3rd, the day after the news
came out.
Apple's suppliers
Analysts assume that the
number of smartphones sold in 2018 will be
slightly lower than
in 2017, the
industry's first. ever annual decline. All this is
terrible news for investors who had
(32)________ on continued growth. But
step back and look at the bigger picture. That
smartphone
sales have peaked, and seem
to be (33)________ off at around 1.4
billion units a
year, is good
news
for
humanity.
The
slowdown
is
actually
the
result
of
market
saturation
(U
$$l),which
hits
Apple the hardest because, despite a
relatively small market share (13% of smartphone
users), it
captures almost all of the
industry
’
s (34)________. But
Apple
’
s pain is
humanity
’
s gain. The fact
that
the
benefits
of
these
magical
devices
are
now
so
widely
(35)________
is
something
to
be
celebrated.
Now
many
phones
are
used
for
longer
than
three
years,
often
as
hand-me-
downs.
Replacement
cycles
are
lengthening
as
new
models
offer
only
(36)________
improvements.
So
even
with
flat
sales,
the
longer(37)________
between
upgrades
mean
people
who
already
have
phones benefit. For all but the most
addicted device fans, the slowing pace of upgrades
comes as a
welcome (38)________.
Does
that
mean
innovation
is
slowing?
No.
As
computers
become
smaller,
still
more
(39)________ and closer
to people's bodies, many technicians expect that
wearable devices, from
smart watches to
AR headsets, will be the next big thing. Even so,
finding another product with
the scope of the smartphone is a tall
order. The smartphone. holds its (40)________ as
the device
that
will
make
computing
and
communications
worldwide.
The
recent
slowing
of
smartphone
sales is bad news
for the industry, for the rest of humanity it is
a welcome sign that
a transformative
technology has become almost universal.

Section B
Directions: Read
the following three passages. Each passage is
followed by several questions or
unfinished statements. For each of them
there are four choices marked A, B, C and D.
Choose the
one that fits best according
to the information given in the passage you have
just read.
(A)
If a person who
lived 200 years ago was treated for a
seizure
(
癫痫
) today, they
would be
surprised by the treatment's
freshness. That's because doctors in the 1800s
were influenced more
by original
medical beliefs than science.
Rather than thinking the
brain caused seizures, people in the 1800s still
thought they were
the result of strange
forces. They associated seizures with the work of
evil spirits. Others felt that
the
seizures had a cosmic or lunar cause. They
believed that the cycles of the moon and stars
could
make someone have a seizure.
During a
process to treat a patient who has seizures,
doctors would force the patient to pray
for the grace of the God. They thought
if the patient did this, then the patient would
rid themselves
of the evil spirits
causing the seizures.
The arrival of modern
psychiatry
(
精神病学
) ocurred
during the 1800s. At that time people
who suffered from seizures were placed
in psychiatric hospitals. They were treated like
they were
mad. However,none of the out-
of-date treatments worked.
It
wasn’t until the late
1850s that the causes of seizures were understood.
We know today
that these causes. are
related to the brain. Misfired signals from the
brain cause a jerking
refer
(
反
射
)
in the usually occur when someone is very tired.
Once
the
causes
of
seizures
were
known,
definitive
treatments
were
developed.
Today,
treatments range from taking pills to
having surgery. Treatment is personalized
according to the
type of seizure the
patient has.
Even
today,
some
people
are
unsure
about
seizures.
Their
most
common
mistake
is
thinking
that
a
person
having
a
seizure
will
swallow
their
tongue.
They
often
push
some
implement roughly in the person's
mouth. However, this doesn’t help. The
implement often blocks
the airway and
prevents the person from breathing. Yet most of
the public no longer fear people
who
have seizures. Instead, they can now help and
comfort a person if they have a seizure.
56. Why would someone from
the past be surprised by today's treatments for
seizures?
