Question

【題目】閱讀下面的短文，根據文中信息完成文后表格。（每空一詞）

Steve Jobs was famous for starting Apple Computers. In a speech to graduating students at Stanford University, Jobs told students about some of his life-changing experiences. Jobs believed these experiences helped him achieve success.

Jobs’s own mother was a college student. As a young mother, she felt unable to bring Jobs up so she put him up for adoption (領養(yǎng)). Jobs’s adopted parents were simple working-class people. When Jobs was 17, his parents used their savings to send him to college.

After six months of college, Jobs found he couldn’t see the value in it. He had no idea what he wanted to do with his life and no idea about how college was going to help him figure it out. And he was spending all of the money his parents had saved. So he decided to drop out (退學).

Jobs was lucky because he knew what he loved to do. He started Apple Computers in his parents’ garage (車庫) with a friend when he was 20. In just ten years, Apple grew into a $2 billion company. However in 1985, Jobs was fired (解雇) from the company. Jobs was surprised. He lost everything at once. He quickly realized that he still loved what he did, and over the next five years, he started two highly successful companies. Later, he worked for Apple again and lived every day as if it was his last.

【解析】蘋果公司的電子產品非常受人們的歡迎，那么你知道蘋果公司的創(chuàng)始人之一喬布斯嗎？這篇短文給我們介紹了喬布斯的一些改變人生的經歷。

【1】根據短文的第一句話Steve Jobs was famous for starting Apple Computers.可知，喬布斯因為開創(chuàng)了蘋果電腦而出名，因此這里說的是他出名的原因，填famous，形容詞，出名的。

【2】根據短文第一段中Jobs believed these experiences helped him achieve success.可知，喬布斯認為他的一些經歷幫助他獲得了成功，原文使用了名詞success，這里是be動詞后面跟形容詞形式，故填successful。

【3】根據短文第二段中Jobs’s own mother was a college student. As a young mother, she felt unable to bring Jobs up so she put him up for adoption可知，喬布斯的媽媽是一個大學生，很年輕，所以不能撫養(yǎng)他。這里考查了句型too+形容詞+to do sth.太…以至于不能做某事。

【4】根據短文第二段中When Jobs was 17, his parents used their savings to send him to college.可知，喬布斯的父母在他17歲的時候，用他們的積蓄把他送進了大學。故填college。

【5】短文第三段講述了喬布斯沒有完成大學的原因，finish完成。

【6】根據短文第三段After six months of college, Jobs found he couldn’t see the value in it. He had no idea what he wanted to do with his life and no idea about how college was going to help him figure it out. And he was spending all of the money his parents had saved可知，喬布斯在大學里看不到未來的希望，而且還花光了父母攢的錢。cost花費，是一個動詞，這里填的是它的過去式，和原形形式一樣。

【7】根據短文第四段中He started Apple Computers in his parents’ garage (車庫) with a friend when he was 20可知，喬布斯在20歲的時候，開創(chuàng)了蘋果電腦公司。set up與原文的started同義，開創(chuàng)，建立。故填set。

【8】根據短文第四段中However in 1985, Jobs was fired (解雇) from the company可知，在1985年，他被公司解雇了，也就是他被迫離開了公司。force強迫，常用于句型force sb. to do sth.強迫某人去做某事，這里用的是這個句型的被動形式。故填過去分詞forced。

【9】根據短文第四段中He quickly realized that he still loved what he did, and over the next five years, he started two highly successful companies.可知，在離開蘋果公司之后，在接下來的5年里，他開創(chuàng)了兩個非常成功的公司。由此可知填five。

【10】根據短文的最后Later, he worked for Apple again and lived every day as if it was his last可知，后來他有為蘋果公司工作，也就是他又回到了蘋果公司。return回來，返回，這里應填過去式形式returned。
