托福阅读材料:Apple Watch美国首日百万预订

  An estimated 957,000 American shoppers ordered Apple Watches on Friday - a sign the tech giant's newest gadget is already seeing more initial success than its first iPhone or the iPod.

  据估计,4月10日,美国共有95.7万用户预订了苹果公司的Apple Watch智能手表,标志着这一科技巨头的最新产品初战告捷,比首款iPhone或iPod还要成功。

  That estimate comes from Slice Intelligence, which measures digital commerce by tracking consumer e-receipts.

  这一数据来自市场研究公司Slice Intelligence。该公司通过追踪消费者电子收据估算数码产品的销售情况。

  Those ordering an Apple Watch Sport, the cheapest version, spent $382.83 per watch and those ordering the Apple Watch spent $707.04.

  其中,最便宜的运动版每只平均订购价格为382.83美元,而标准版每只为707.04美元。

  'As expected, most consumers–62 percent– purchased the less-expensive Sport model,' said Jaimee Minney of Slice.

  “与预期一样,大多数消费者--62%--选择购买价格较为便宜的运动版。”Slice公司的杰米·明尼(Jaimee Minney)称。

  However, many Apple Watch buyers invested in the pricier case but the cheapest band, with more than one third adding a black or white Sport band.

  不过,也有不少购买者选择用较贵的标准版外壳搭配最便宜的运动表带。三分之一的用户选择加购一条黑色或白色运动表带。

  The data also showed that most consumers opted for the larger 42 mm case, with Its data from online shoppers showed an average of 1.3 watches bought per customer, with $503.83 spent per item.

  数据显示,大多数消费者倾向于更大尺寸的42mm规格。线上消费数据还显示,平均每人预订了1.3只Apple Watch智能手表,每只平均消费为503.83美元。

  Sport buyers were slightly more likely to choose the 38 mm case, with 32 percent purchasing the smaller version, versus 24 percent of Apple Watch buyers.

  购买运动版的消费者中,选择38mm规格的比例稍高,有32%。而标准版购买者中仅有24%购买较小规格。

  The most popular type of case was the Space Gray aluminum case, with 40 percent of Apple Watch buyers choosing the option, followed by: stainless steel at 34 percent, silver aluminum at 23 percent and finally Space Black stainless steel at three percent.

  最受消费者欢迎的外壳是“太空灰”铝制外壳,占所有订单的四成,其次分别为不锈钢(占34%)、银色铝(占23%)和太空黑不锈钢(占3%)。

  The Black Sport Band was by far the most popular among both Apple Watch and Apple Watch Sport buyers, with 49 percent overall pre-ordering one, followed by the White Sport Band at 16 percent and the more expensive Milanese Loop ($149 versus $49 for the black Sport band) rounding out the top three at around 10 percent.

  截至目前,黑色运动腕带在所有腕带中最受买家青睐,占所有订单量的49%。排名第二的是白色运动表带,占16%。紧随其后的是价格较高的米兰尼斯表带(售价149美元,黑色运动表带售价49美元),约占10%。

  The watch, which allow users to check email, listen to music and make phone calls when paired with an iPhone, goes on sale officially on April 24.

  与iPhone配对后,Apple Watch智能手表具有查收邮件、听音乐、接电话等功能,将于4月24日正式上市。

  The watch is Chief Executive Tim Cook's first new major product launch and the company's first foray into the personal luxury-goods market.

  这款智能手表是苹果公司首席执行官蒂姆·库克(Tim Cook)发行的首款重要产品,也是苹果公司首次进军个人奢侈品市场。

  Despite mixed reviews, which generally praised the watch's styling but criticized its less-than-spectacular battery life and slow-loading apps, people flocked to Apple stores to get a close-up look.

  尽管评价褒贬不一,大都褒的是款式,贬的是差强人意的待机时长和缓慢的应用下载速度,苹果实体店依然有顾客蜂拥而入,只为一睹Apple Watch真容。

  aluminum: 铝

  foray: 突袭;攻击

托福阅读材料:Apple Watch美国首日百万预订的延伸阅读——托福阅读快速解题法。

  托福阅读中完全可以不要熟悉原文,只要你会分析主谓宾,就可以选出。但是在托福阅读中这种方法只针对结构为总分结构的文章才有效(占50%的考题),需要特别注意。托福阅读中首先大家得知道这题主要考察的是文章的MAIN IDEA和文字的SUB IDEA,对文章的TOPIC没有一点解题关系。

  解题步骤:

  托福阅读第1步:区分TOPIC/MI(黑体句)

  TOPIC:概念/研究对象。(可从文章的题目看出)

  MI:作者对TOPIC的看法/结论/发现/关系/描述/意图。(仅对TOPIC做解释的选项通常是错的)

  托福阅读第2步:回原文定位MI.

  MI:前三段的段首或者段末出现。

  具有以下特点:a,转折句。(HOWEVER,BUT等) b,设问句。(自问自答) c,首段末句—》结论,科学发现。 d,因果句。 e,明显分类描述/明显数量概述/复数名词。

  托福阅读第3步:各段的首句/各段的开始部分—sub idea。

  4.筛选答案。(技巧)

  1).MI/SI的统一改写。(概括性语言)

  2).对MI的支持。支持:重现MI的完整关系,概念对应展开!

  3)分清主谓宾!重点!!!

  把给出的黑体字句子的主谓宾列出来~简单的列为xx(主语)+xx(谓语)+xx(宾语)。

  则可以把所有的MI句子写成一个数学的函数表示公式:

  MI: F(x)=A(x[主语])+B(x[谓语])+C(x[宾语])

  则那么所有的SI为MI公式的一个根:

  SI:F(1)=A(1[主语的分支])+B(1[谓语动词不变或者为同义词])+C(1[宾语不变])。

  则那么下面给出的6个选项只要按照SI的公式对应比较就能知道是否为正确答案,无需知道文章说了什么,只要分析选项的主谓宾是否是对MI的一个分支的扩展,并且造成的结果一样就能选出正确的答案了。

  例子:

  OG第一篇阅读:THE ORIGINS OF CETACEANS的13-14题。

  这道题的MI黑体字句子是:this passage discusses fossils that help to explain the likely origins of cetaceans-whales,porpises,and dolphins.

  分析主谓宾可以知道:fossil(主语)+help to explain(谓语)+origins of cetaceans(宾)

  然后看答案。

  1.recent discoveries of fossils have helped to show the link between land mamals and cetaceans.

  很容易的划出主干: fossils(主语的分支) +helped to show(谓语动词理解一样) +the link(宾语一致)

  所以1正确。

  2.the discovery of Axxxx provided evidence for a whale that lived both on land and at sea.

  划出主干:Axxx(化石,又是MI主语的分支)+ provided evidence (谓语动词理解一样)+宾语

  所以2也正确。

  5.fossils thought to be transitional forms between walking mammals and swimming whales were found。

  主干:fossils(MI主语的分支)+were found(因为找到所以提供的证据,帮助理解,和MI谓语动词理解一样)

  所以5也正确。

  在托福阅读当中,对于初学者来说最难的不是单词,而是考试时间不足,因此很多同学在一开始做托福阅读的时候,十分不适应托福的时间限制,有的人甚至在考前都没有克服这个问题,所以在考前找到一个适合自己的托福阅读方法是至关重要的。
