34、the corresponding letter with a single bar across the square brackets on your machine-scored Answer Sheet.Passage OneThe first reviews of the Apple Watch are in, and the verdict is: This is a good product with a bright future. But maybe dont buy one quite yet.Thats not to say the reviews werent glow

35、ing, because they were. Anyone who was hoping that the Watch would fall short of the high standard that Apple boasts for its products is going to be disappointed. Theres no doubt, from these reviews, that Apples smartwatch is immediately the best of its kind on the market. Its a satisfying indulgenc

36、e. But there are criticisms, and strong ones, about how far the product needs to go to appeal to everyone. At least, it certainly isa device that comes into its ownafter a“steep learning curve.Complaints are the most telling part of the reviews. Manjoo, for example, warns that this is not necessaril

37、y a simple device tounderstand. Thats contrary to Apples normal reputation - the iPhone, for example, is a great smartphone for technophobes because its so easy to navigate. But thats not the market that should pick up the first generation of the Watch.“Theres a good chance it will not work perfectl

38、y for most consumers right out of the box, because it is best after you learn to use various software settings to personalize use, Manjoo notes. “Indeed, to a degree unusual for a new Apple device, the Watch is not suited for tech amateurs. It is designed for people who are flooded with notification

39、s coming in through their phones, and for those who care to think about, and want to try to manage, the way the digital world intrudes on their lives.Other criticisms range from the fact that the device is a little slow to complaints that its still a little too clumsy to be fashionable, which could

40、pose an obstacle to wider adoption.People are less certain about how smoothly it actually works. The Watch relies on other Apple software such as the companys Siri voice control software, which fails to work as often as its successful. Joanna Sternmay have explained this sentimentbest insaying that

41、shes generally not recommending that her friends buy this generation of the Watch. Every time she gazes down to admire it, she starts seeing how the next one will look better. If youre not quite sure, its perfectly okay to wait for the next generation. 51. The reviews of the Apple Watch _. A. sugges

42、t consumers never buy this product B. are generally positive about this product C. exaggerate the advantages of this product D. dont think highly of this product52. The underlined sentence in the second paragraph probably means the Watch_. A. is of a high standard and quality B. will disappoint most

43、 of its consumers C. is inferior to other products of Apple D. will probably get worse in terms of quality53. Which of the following is NOT one of the problems with the Watch? A. Difficult to navigate.B. Prone to breakdown. C. Not graceful.D. A little too expensive.54. Paragraph 5 is mainly concerne

44、d with_. A. the unique features of the Apple Watch B. difficulties using the Apple Watch C. the superiority of the Watch D. the harm of the Watch to health55. It can be concluded from the last paragraph that Joanna Stern_. A. is going to buy this generation of the Watch B. recommends buying the Watc

45、h right away C. is not eager to buy the Watch of this generation D. hopes to keep innovating the Watch for herself56. This passage is primarily intended to_. A. be an advertisement for the Apple Watch B. urge consumers to boycott this new Watch C. argue against negative reports about the WatchD. rem

46、ind customers to be cautious about the WatchPassage TwoScientists have long tried to link genius to high intelligence without success.Professor Allan Snyder said that the term “genius was often misused and hard to define.“It is very rare. To him, its the creation itself and not a persons potential t

47、hat defines genius. Its certainly not a score on an IQ test. Its especially someone who allows us to view the world in a new light.According to neuropsychologist Rex Jung, genius is notoriously difficult to predict and does not necessarily require extremely high levels of intelligence. He points to

48、a study by Lewis Terman which followed more than 1,500 children with extremely high IQs to see if genius would eventually emerge.While many grew up to be successful, his study missed two Nobel prize winners who did not make the IQ cut: William Shockley, who co-invented the transistor, and physicist

49、Luis Alvarez. Neither of them had high enough IQs to make it into Termans study but it was their original thinking that eventually set them apart from their more intelligent peers.While intelligence may not be the defining factor, what genius does seem to require is unusually high levels of creativi

50、ty and perseverance.Barry Marshall won the Nobel prize in Medicine in 2005 for discovering that stomach ulcers 潰瘍were caused by bacteria and not stress, believing ulcers were linked to bacteria but were not allowed to experiment on humans. Other scientists then believed there was a link between ulce

51、rs, stress and acid. In desperation, Marshall mixed up some of the bacteria and drank it. After a few days he was proved correct - he had given himself an ulcer, and proved that antibiotics could be used to cure the condition.“Ultimately creativity involves rebellion, Prof Snyder said. “You have to

52、challenge the authoritiesand have the courage to broadcast your ideas to a resistant world. He believes that what distinguishes a “champion from the rest is not the desire to be the best, or the fear of failure, rather its an unconscious hatred to being just average. But Prof McMahon argues that per

53、haps more than any other virtue, the one quality that genius possess is an ability to work and never let a problem go.While this quality can appear sometimes to be stubbornness or obsession, it is what can separate genius from intelligence. He agrees with Thomas Edison “Genius is 1 per cent inspirat

54、ion and 99 per cent perspiration.57.The study conducted by Lewis Terman led to the finding that _. A. one has to have high IQs to win the Nobel prize B. those with high IQsare capable of original thinking C. high IQs are more vital than original thinking in researchD. those without high IQs can also

55、 win the Nobel prize58. Barry Marshall is mentioned to prove that _. A. intelligence is the defining factor for genius B. persistence and creativity are essential to geniusC. authorities are often an obstacle to research D. experimentation on humans is necessary59. It seems to Professor Snyder that

56、a winner is characterized by_. A. habitual obedience and modesty B. the courage to challenge authorities C. the desire to be the top one D. the fear of failure 60. Professor McMahon believes that the most important quality for genius is _. A. the ability to stick to the end B. a high level of intelligence C. inspiration about re
