Answer 1

分析 蘋果電腦的設(shè)計者，史蒂夫•喬布斯，在他年輕的時候并不是很成功．他上學(xué)的時候不是最好的學(xué)生，他甚至?xí)r而不時的會和同學(xué)或者老師發(fā)生一些小摩擦．他充滿了一些新奇的思想，但是沒有幾個人能看到其價值．當(dāng)他上大學(xué)的時候，情形還是依舊這樣，他不得不半路輟學(xué)．史蒂夫•喬布斯最初的工作就是一個雅達利的一個電腦程序員．他僅僅在那里工作了幾個月，然后他就去印度旅行．他希望那次旅行能給他更多的思想，并給他一個人生中比較好的轉(zhuǎn)機．
在從印度回來之后，他開始居住在加利福尼亞的一個農(nóng)場上．就在那時，在1975年，史蒂夫•喬布斯開始做一種新型的電腦．和他的朋友史蒂芬•沃茲尼亞克一起，在他的臥室里設(shè)計了、在車庫里生產(chǎn)了蘋果電腦．他給它命名為"蘋果"，這是因為使他想起了在俄勒岡州的一個果園里度過的一個幸福的夏天．
他的蘋果電腦是如此成功，以致于史蒂夫•喬布斯很快就全世界聞名．但很不幸的是，他因病于2011年去世．

解答 59．答案C 考查詞義理解題  根據(jù)上下文"he was full of new ideas"以及"Jobs set about making a new type of computer"可知，正是這些新奇的想法，給喬布斯提供了成功的機會．但是在當(dāng)時沒有人能預(yù)見到他的思想的重要性．故選C．
60．答案D  考查細節(jié)理解題  根據(jù)第一段中的"he went up to college and he dropped out halfway"可知他中途退學(xué)了，并沒有上完大學(xué)，故選D．
61．答案C  考查細節(jié)理解題  根據(jù)第三段中的"because it reminded him of a happy summer he once spent on an orchard（果園）in Oregon"可知他想紀(jì)念在果園里度過的美好時光．故選C．
62．答案D  考查細節(jié)理解題  根據(jù)第一段中的"he was full of new ideas，which few people saw the value of"以及第二段中的"the trip would give him more ideas and give him a change in life for the better"可知，正是這些新的想法給予了他創(chuàng)新，制造了新的電腦，最終獲得了成功．故選D．
