參考答案Ⅰ.A【文章大意】本文是一篇記敘文。史蒂夫·喬布斯,蘋果公司的創(chuàng)始人,出身貧寒,沒有上完大學就和一個朋友在一個車庫創(chuàng)建了名為蘋果的公司,經過十多年的努力,蘋果公司成長為一家大公司,喬布斯卻被解雇了。后來因為公司面臨的困境他重回公司,力挽狂瀾,讓公司起死回生,才有了今天的iPhone和iPad等新產品。正如他所說的,熱情是成功的關鍵。1.A推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段最后一句“AfterSteveJobsgraduatedfromhighschool,hewenttocollegebutdecidedtodropoutbecauseitwassoexpensivethathehadtosleeponthefloorinhisfriends’rooms.”可知,他上了大學后,由于學費太高,他不得不輟學,故選A。2.C推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段可知:喬布斯被迫離開后,蘋果承受著來自競爭對手微軟的重重壓力;1996年蘋果遭受了數(shù)十億美元的損失;蘋果需要史蒂夫·喬布斯,1997他被任命為蘋果首席執(zhí)行官;在他的領導下,蘋果恢復了盈利能力,推出了iPhone和iPad等新產品。分析這些內容可知喬布斯的努力讓公司起死回生,也就是喬布斯給了公司第二次生命,故選C。3.D推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段喬布斯所說的話可知熱愛自己所做的事才會成功,也就是熱情是成功的關鍵,故選D。B【文章大意】本文是一篇記敘文。本文敘述了一個音樂天才SamuelOsmond在不會讀樂譜的情況下,能把聽到的樂曲彈奏出來。他的記憶力很好,他不僅能把聽到的樂曲記下來,還能復述聽到的故事。4.D細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第一段中的“Heneverstudiedthepiano.However,hecanplayverydifficultmusicalpiecesbymusicianssuchasChopinandBeethovenjustafewminutesafterhehearsthem.”可知SamuelOsmond從未學過彈鋼琴,卻能把聽到的樂曲彈奏出來,這是他的特殊之處,故選D。5.D細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第一段中的“Helearnsapieceofmusicbylisteningtoitinparts.Thenhethinksaboutthenotes(音符)inhishead.Twoyearsago,heplayedhisfirstpieceMoonlightSonata(奏鳴曲)byBeethoven.Hesurprisedeveryonearoundhim.”可知,他只是通過聽一首曲子,然后就能憑著記憶把它彈奏出來,這使大家感到驚訝。故選D項。6.C推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第四段中的“Heisnowlearningapiecethatissodifficultthatmanyprofessional(專業(yè)的)pianistscan’tplayit.Samuelsaysconfidently,‘It’sallaboutsupermemory—IguessIhavethatgift.’”可知,他現(xiàn)在正在學習一首很難的曲子,而這首曲子許多專業(yè)鋼琴家都演奏不了。Samuel自信地認為他有超強的記憶力。由此可知他對自己的記憶力很自豪。故選C。7.B主旨大意題。根據(jù)文章第一段中的“Heneverstudiedthepiano.However,hecanplayverydifficultmusicalpiecesbymusicianssuchasChopinandBeethovenjustafewminutesafterhehearsthem.”及下文的內容可知,本文圍繞著Samuel沒有學習過彈鋼琴,只是聽到樂曲就能記下來,然后彈奏出來展開敘述,因此本文講的是一個音樂天才的故事。故選B。Ⅱ.第一節(jié)Onepossibleversion:DearLucy,
