Steve Odom,CEO and founder of dating site Gelato, which launched last year and includes a live feed of members’ social-media profiles, is redesigning his entire website based on the iPad’s appearance. Profile pictures play a key role in online dating, Odom says, and the iPad gives sites an opportunity to play up the presentation of their clientele. "It’s big, it’s beautiful, and it’s perfect for dating sites," says Odom, who plans to unveil the redesign in June.
Evans predicts that online dating sites will begin to display their content like a magazine, letting users flip through pages of profiles and enlarge photos while simultaneously texting with one or more others. He says there’s also been talk of adding a facial-coding and eye-tracking function that would use a webcam on the iPad to refine suggested matches based on a member’s responses to certain profiles.

网考网解析：
[解析] 推理引申题。 [解题思路] 根据题干关键词Gelato可定位至文章第三段。Gelato的创始人兼CEO指出，其公司正在以iPad的外观为基础重新设计整个网站(...is redesigning his entire website based on the iPad’s appearance)，并紧接着指出对于网上约会来说，个人资料图片尤为重要，而iPad恰恰能够突出客户形象(...iPad gives sites an opportunity to play up the presentation of their clientele)，故可推知，改版后的新网站将会借鉴iPad的优势，使用户可以浏览更优质的其他用户的资料，故选项[D]正确。 [干扰排除] 第三段中提到根据iPad作出调整后的网站会帮助用户更好地呈现个人资料，而不是“(用户)更擅长让自己看起来更漂亮”，据此排除选项[A]。选项[B]意为“(用户)可以对网站进行升级以添加更多个人资料图片”，在文中并没有对应信息点。选项[C]意为“(用户)可以促进iPad新功能的开发”，第三段讨论的是在线约会网站根据iPad的外观进行重新设计，而没有提及iPad的更新问题，故选项[C]可排除。 document.getElementById("warp").style.display="none"; document.getElementById("content").style.display="block"; 查看试题解析出处>>
