Question

【题目】阅读下面的短文，根据文中信息完成文后表格。（每空一词）

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 (领养). 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 (退学).

Jobs was lucky because he knew what he loved to do. He started Apple Computers in his parents’ garage (车库) 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】苹果公司的电子产品非常受人们的欢迎，那么你知道苹果公司的创始人之一乔布斯吗？这篇短文给我们介绍了乔布斯的一些改变人生的经历。

【1】根据短文的第一句话Steve Jobs was famous for starting Apple Computers.可知，乔布斯因为开创了苹果电脑而出名，因此这里说的是他出名的原因，填famous，形容词，出名的。

【2】根据短文第一段中Jobs believed these experiences helped him achieve success.可知，乔布斯认为他的一些经历帮助他获得了成功，原文使用了名词success，这里是be动词后面跟形容词形式，故填successful。

【3】根据短文第二段中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，乔布斯的妈妈是一个大学生，很年轻，所以不能抚养他。这里考查了句型too+形容词+to do sth.太…以至于不能做某事。

【4】根据短文第二段中When Jobs was 17, his parents used their savings to send him to college.可知，乔布斯的父母在他17岁的时候，用他们的积蓄把他送进了大学。故填college。

【5】短文第三段讲述了乔布斯没有完成大学的原因，finish完成。

【6】根据短文第三段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，乔布斯在大学里看不到未来的希望，而且还花光了父母攒的钱。cost花费，是一个动词，这里填的是它的过去式，和原形形式一样。

【7】根据短文第四段中He started Apple Computers in his parents’ garage (车库) with a friend when he was 20可知，乔布斯在20岁的时候，开创了苹果电脑公司。set up与原文的started同义，开创，建立。故填set。

【8】根据短文第四段中However in 1985, Jobs was fired (解雇) from the company可知，在1985年，他被公司解雇了，也就是他被迫离开了公司。force强迫，常用于句型force sb. to do sth.强迫某人去做某事，这里用的是这个句型的被动形式。故填过去分词forced。

【9】根据短文第四段中He quickly realized that he still loved what he did, and over the next five years, he started two highly successful companies.可知，在离开苹果公司之后，在接下来的5年里，他开创了两个非常成功的公司。由此可知填five。

【10】根据短文的最后Later, he worked for Apple again and lived every day as if it was his last可知，后来他有为苹果公司工作，也就是他又回到了苹果公司。return回来，返回，这里应填过去式形式returned。
