21、listened to music on an iPod? Used a computer at home? Those are just two of the ways your life was touched by the work of Steve Jobs. Jobs, one founder of Apple Computers, died on Wednesday, October 5, 2011 at the age of 56. He had been fighting with cancer since 2004. Steven Jobs was born in Los A
22、ltos, California. He and his childhood friend, Steve Wozniak, designed and built the first Apple computer in his parents garage in the 1970s. The Apple II, built when Jobs was just 21 years old, was the first personal computer to be widely sold to the public. Steven Jobs didnt stop there. He went on
23、 to invent more devices (设备) that allowed people to bring their own creativity to computing: the Macintosh, the iPod, the iPhone, the iPad. People found his products beautiful and easy to use. Jobs also changed the music and film industries. He started Pixar, a film production company in 1986. Toy S
24、tory was the worlds first computer-animated feature film (电脑动画电影). “Steve was among the greatest of American innovators brave enough to think differently, confident enough to believe he could change the world, and clever enough to do it,” said President Barack Obama. “By making computers personal an
25、d putting the Internet in our pockets, he made the information revolution not only easy to reach, but fun .

29、C. developing the music industry D. creating surprising products C Its a sure sign that summer is over and winter is on the way leaves that were once deep green turn red, yellow and bright orange. It happens every autumn. But did you ever wonder why? The leaves start changing color when the nights s
30、tart getting longer and the temperature starts getting cooler. Some scientists think that as the number of daylight hours shrinks, the leaves stop making chlorophyll which makes plants green. The reason is that the process of making chlorophyll requires sunlight. But according to horticulture (园艺) e
31、ducator Susan Rose from Colorado State University, it turns out leaves dont really change color at all. “The fall colors are actually there all along,” she said. “But they are covered by the green chlorophyll. As the chlorophyll stops being produced, the other colors can shine through.” The kind of
32、color that the leaves are going to change to is determined by the plants genetic (基因的) background. In some places, the leaves start changing color in September before autumn even officially begins. In other places, they dont change until late October or even November. Some scientists say the leaves
33、have been changing color later than usual in recent years. And they think global warming has something to do with that. In one study, researchers found that the growing season in the Northern Hemisphere was nearly a week longer, on average, in 2008 than it was in 1982. And a professor from Harvard U
34、niversity found that the leaves, west of Boston, Massachusetts, are changing color about three days later than they used to. However, other scientists disagree with the global warming theory. Susan Rose said the leaves in her part of Colorado are changing “right on schedule.” But the leaves in other
35、 parts of that state are running a little late. “The lateness in the mountains may have something to do with the really warm late summer and early fall,” she said. “But Im afraid thats just a guess.”64. According to Susan Rose, _.A. the fall colors are always in leavesB. leaves make chlorophyll all
36、the seasonsC. leaves changing color have nothing to with the weatherD. leaves begin changing color because they start making chlorophyll65. The underlined word “shrinks” in Paragraph 2 could best be replaced by _.A. reduces B. increasesC. lasts D. appears66. Scientists guess leaves change color late
37、r than usual probably as a result of _.A. genetic background B. dry weatherC. global warming D. low temperature67. The purpose of the last paragraph is to tell readers _.A. why leaves change color at fall B. leaves change color at different timeC. the effects of the global warming on plantsD. differ
38、ent opinions on the lateness of leaves changing colorD Since people first sent rockets into space in the 1950s, we have been leaving behind all sorts of things. Some of them, like the camera, were lost by astronauts while they did work outside their spaceship. But much of the space junk is made up o
39、f little pieces of things that were once bigger objects, until they struck each other and broke apart. Some things we send into space fall back toward the earth and burn up in the atmosphere. But larger pieces sometimes survive the extreme heat and hit the ground or the ocean at great speeds. So the
40、re is always concern that something may fall from the sky and do some harm. But space junk falling on housetops (屋顶) is not the biggest worry. Scientists are concerned about what happens when an empty rocket strikes another while orbiting (绕轨道飞行) the earth. Two big things become many smaller things.
41、 They then hit other things. The pieces get smaller and smaller until they form a cloud of junk that blocks the path of future space vehicles. So what can be done to clean up the space around our planet? Marco Castronuovo, an Italian researcher, talks about sending a satellite into space that would
42、get very close to some of the larger pieces of space junk. The satellite would connect a small rocket to the useless object. When the rocket explodes, it pushes the junk into a lower and slower orbit, nearer the earth. After a time, the junk burns up in the atmosphere. Mr. Castronuovo has proposed (
43、提议) using a number of small satellites with robotic arms. One arm would catch the space junk, and another arm would connect the rocket. He imagines that each satellite would jump from one large piece of junk to another. He thinks this method could destroy about ten large objects each year.Scientists
44、 have been concerned about space junk for many years. Right now, the costs of the clean-up have been too great. Mr. Castronuovo says his system could be put in place for a much more reasonable amount of money.68. Much of the space junk _.A. was thrown by the astronauts B. is from broken spaceshipC.
45、is made up of small pieces of thingsD. returns to the earth piece by piece69. Scientists are most worried that the space junk _.A. will stop the future space vehiclesB. will do harm to the atmosphere C. will fall on the housetops D. will burn up in space70. What does Marco Castronuovo think of his s
46、ystem?A. It can remove space junk completely.B. It can save a large amount of money.C. It can create a large amount of space.D. It can develop robotic technology.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Five steps to better handwritingSome kids love handwriting, but others hate
