Apple on Monday launched an artificial intelligence focused-iPhone 16 lineup and said new AI features will be added to its devices next month. Here are some products Apple launched at the event:

NEW IPHONE LINEUP

The iPhone 16 comes in two sizes — 6.1 inches, and 6.7 inches for the Plus model. The phones are powered by new A18 chips, which feature a 16-core neural (神经的) engine designed for generative AI-linked tasks and Apple Intelligence. The phones also come with a customizable action button, allowing users to perform a variety of functions such as recording voice memo (备忘录), identifying songs, and translating phrases.

Apple also unveiled iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max models with a faster A18 Pro chip. The phones’ AI capabilities will include offering suggestions on how to set up a photoshoot more effectively. The phones will also offer more advanced video capturing quality and a new audio mixing feature to enhance video recordings.

APPLE WATCH UPGRADES

Apple launched its latest Watch Series 10, which the company claims is its thinnest and fastest charging watch ever.

The Series 10 will be powered by Apple’s new S10 chip, which includes a four-core neural engine that will allow machine learning activities and power features such as double tapping on device, Siri dictation, along with crash and fall detection.

Apple also highlighted the health-linked features of its watch, such as sleep apnea (窒息) detection. The watch will monitor breathing disturbances and will inform users if they display signs of sleep apnea.

AIRPOD MODELS

Apple’s AirPods 4, powered by a new custom H2 chip, come with improved audio quality and personalized spatial audio (个性化空间音频). 

Users can also interact with Siri while using the AirPods by nodding “yes” or shaking their head to say “no” in response to Siri announcements.  

The company also said that its AirPods Pro 2 can now be “transformed” into a personalized hearing aid via an upcoming software update, boosting the specific sounds in real time, like parts of speech or elements within a user’s environment.

1.Which of the following features does NOT belong to iPhone 16?

A A 16-core neural engine.

B A new A18 Pro chip.

C An action button.

D Phrase translation.

解析：选B。B 细节理解题。根据NEW IPHONE LINEUP部分可知，A18 Pro芯片是iPhone 16 Pro和16 Pro Max使用的，并不是iPhone 16使用。故选B。

2.Which word can replace the underlined word “unveiled” in Para 3?

A Released.

B Designed.

C Advertised.

D Suggested.

解析：选A。A 词义猜测题。根据第一段中的“Apple on Monday launched an artificial intelligence focused-iPhone 16 lineup”可知，周五，苹果“发布”了苹果16系列新品，包括4款手机（iPhone 16、iPhone 16 Plus、iPhone 16 Pro和iPhone 16 Pro Max）、Apple Watch Series 10和AirPods 4。上一段介绍发布的iPhone 16，本段介绍发布的iPhone 16 Pro 和 16 Pro Max，由此推断划线词unveiled与released同义。 故选A。

3.Why does the author mention “sleep apnea” about Apple Watch Series 10?

A To present readers its appearance.

B To attract patients to buy the watch.

C To stress the importance of sleeping.

D To prove its the health-linked features.

解析：选D。D 细节理解题。根据“sleep apnea”定位到APPLE WATCH UPGRADES部分中的第三段，根据第一句“Apple also highlighted the health-linked features of its watch, such as sleep apnea (窒息) detection.”可知，提到睡眠呼吸暂停是为了展示Apple Watch Series 10的健康相关功能。故选D。

4.AirPods 4 can be useful especially for _______.

A people unable to move

B people with damaged hearing

C people of an old age

D people who are blind

解析：选B。B 推理判断题。根据AIRPOD MODELS部分最后一段中的“AirPods Pro 2 can now be “transformed” into a personalized hearing aid via an upcoming software update”AirPods Pro 2支持助听器功能，实时增强特定的声音，该功能将通过软件更新实现，因此AirPods Pro 2对于有听障的用户非常友好。故选B。
