    16．Jobs quickly became bored with college．He liked being at Reed，just not taking the required classes．In fact he was surprised when he found out that，for all of its hippie aura，there were strict course requirements．When Wozniak came to visit，Jobs waved his schedule at him and complained，"They are making me take all these courses．"Woz replied，"Yes，that's what they do in college．"Jobs refused to go to the classes he was assigned and instead went to the ones he wanted，such as a dance class where he could enjoy both the creativity and the chance to meet girls．"I would never have refused to take the courses you were supposed to，that's a difference in our personality，"Wozniak marveled．
    Jobs also began to feel guilty，he later said，about spending so much of his parents'money on an education that did not seem worthwhile．"All of my workingclass parents'savings were being spent on my college tuition，"he recounted in a famous commencement address at Stanford．"I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and no idea how college was going to help me figure it out．And here I was spending all of the money my parents had saved their entire life．So I decided to drop out and trust that it would all work out okay．"
    He didn't actually want to leave Reed； he just wanted to quit paying tuition and taking classes that didn't interest him．Remarkably，Reed tolerated that．"He had a very inquiring mind that was enormously attractive，"said the dean of students，Jack Dudman．"He refused to accept automatically received truths，and he wanted to examine everything himself．"Dudman allowed Jobs to audit classes and stay with friends in the dorms even after he stopped paying tuition．
    "The minute I dropped out I could stop taking the required classes that didn't interest me，and begin dropping in on the ones that looked interesting，"he said．Among them was a calligraphy class that appealed to him after he saw posters on campus that were beautifully drawn．"I learned about serif and sans serif typefaces，about varying the amount of space between different letter combinations，about what makes great typography great．It was beautiful，historical，artistically subtle in a way that science can't capture，and I found it fascinating．"
    It was yet another example of Jobs consciously positioning himself at the intersection of the arts and technology．In all of his products，technology would be married to great design，elegance，human touches，and even romance．He would be in the fore of pushing friendly graphical user interfaces．The calligraphy course would become iconic in that regard．"If I had never dropped in on that single course in college，the Mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts．And since Windows just copied the Mac，it's likely that no personal computer would have them．"
    In the meantime Jobs decked out a bohemian existence on the fringes of Reed．He went barefoot most of the time，wearing sandals when it snowed．Elizabeth Holmes made meals for him，trying to keep up with his obsessive diets．He returned soda bottles for spare change，continued his treks to the free Sunday dinners at the Hare Krishna temple，and wore a down jacket in the heatless garage apartment he rented for $20 a month．When he needed money，he found work at the psychology department lab maintaining the electronic equipment that was used for animal behaviour experiments．Occasionally Chrisann Brennan would come to visit．Their relationship sputtered along erratically．But mostly he tended to the stirrings of his own soul and personal quest for enlightenment．
    "I came of age at a magical time，"he reflected later．"Our consciousness was raised by Zen，and also by LSD．"Even later in life he would credit psychedelic drugs for making him more enlightened．"Taking LSD was a profound experience，one of the most important things in my life．LSD shows you that there's another side to the coin，and you can't remember it when it wears off，but you know it．It reinforced my sense of what was important-creating great things instead of making money，putting things back into the stream of history and of human consciousness as much as I could．"

    65．Jobs and Wozniak differed inB．
    A．approach to freedom                 B．attitude to requirements
    C．appetite for knowledge               D．affection for college life
    66．One factor in Job's decision to leave college is thatD．
    A．his family was in absolute poverty
    B．he wanted to be independent of his parents
    C．the college couldn't prepare him for his set goal
    D．he wouldn't have his parents'money wasted
    67．From Jack Dudman's statement，we can see that Jobs wasB．
    A．rather difficult to get along with         B．very serious about existing beliefs
    C．quite good at solving problems          D．too stubborn to change his mind
    68．The underlined word"audit"in paragraph 3 means"C"．
    A．give successfully
    B．miss occasionally
    C．attend informally
    D．conduct irregularly
    69．Jobs worked on typefaces while suffering from a hard lifeA．
    A．to bring something great into existence
    B．to prove his value to the whole wo rld
    C．to make himself wealthy for a better life
    D．to show college was unimportant to him
    70．Which of the following can be the proper title for the passage？D
    A．Stay Out          B．Work Out         C．Hold Out          D．Drop Out．

    分析 短文主要讲了Jobs辍学之事，包括他为何会辍学，以及辍学之后潜心于其他事情．

    解答 65．B，细节理解题，根据句子When Wozniak came to visit．Jobs waved his schedule at him and complained．"They are making me take all these coyrses．"Wozniak replied，"Yes，that's what they do in college可知，Jobs和Wozniak在对于大学要求的态度是不同的，故答案为B． 
    66．D，细节理解题，根据句子Jobs also began to fed guilty about spending so much of his parents'money on an education that did not seem worthwhile．"All of my working-class parents'savings were being spent on my college tuition（学费）．可知，Jobs离开大学的一个原因就是不想浪费父母辛苦挣的钱，故答案为D． 
    67．B，推理判断题，根据句子He refused to accept automatically received truths，and he wanted to examine everything himself可知，Jobs认真对待现有的想法，故答案为B． 
    68．C，词义猜测题，根据后面的描述stay with friends in the dorms even after he stopped paying tuition，即使在没交学费后也同意他非正式地上课，让他和朋友待在宿舍，可以推测该词的意思是"非正式地上课"，故答案为C． 
    69．A，细节理解题，根据句子I learned about serif and sans serif typefaces（字体），about varying the amount of space between different letter combinations，about what makes great typography great可知，Jobs在想创造出一些伟大的事情时专心于学习字体，故答案为A． 
    70．D，标题归纳题，短文主要讲了Jobs辍学之事，包括他为何会辍学，以及辍学之后潜心于其他事情，总体围绕"辍学"，故答案为D．

    7．The African elephant，which is the largest land animal remaining on earth，is of great importance to African ecosystem．Unlike other animals，the African elephant is to a great extent the builder of its environment．As a big plant-eater，it largely shapes the-forest-and-savanna （大草原） surroundings in which it lives，therefore setting the terms of existence for millions of other animals that live in its habitat．
    It is the elephant's great desire for food that makes it a disturber of the environment and an important builder of its habitat．In its continuous search for the 300pounds of plants it must have every day，it kills small trees and under-bushes，and pulls branches off big trees．This results in numerous open spaces in both deep tropical forests and in the woodlands that cover part of the African savannas．In these open spaces are numerous plants in various stages of growth that attract a variety of other plant-eaters．
    Take the rain forests for example．In their natural state，the spreading branches overhead shut out sunlight and prevent the growth of plants on the forest floor．By pulling down trees and eating plants，elephants make open spaces，allowing new plants to grow on the forest floor．In such situations，the forests become suitable for large hoofed plant-eaters to move around and for small plant-eaters to get their food as well．
    What worries scientists now is that the African elephant has become an endangered species．If the elephant disappears，scientists say，many other animals will also disappear from vast areas of forest and savanna，greatly changing and worsening the whole ecosystem．

    8．What is the passage mainly about？B
    A．Disappearance of African elephants．
    B．The effect of African elephants'search for food．
    C．Forests and savannas as habitats for African elephants．
    D．The eating habit of African elephants．
    9．What does the underlined phrase"setting the terms"most probably mean？B
    A．Fixing the time．B．Deciding the conditions．
    C．Improving the quality．D．Worsening the state．
    10．What do we know about the open spaces in the passage？C
    A．They result from the destruction of rain forests．
    B．They provide food mainly for African elephants．
    C．They are attractive to plant-eating animals of different kinds．
    D．They are home to many endangered animals．
    11．The passage is developed mainly byD
    A．giving examples
    B．pointing out similarities and differences
    C．describing the changes in space order
    D．showing the effect and then explaining the causes．

    5．随着经济的发展，环境污染日益严重，洪水、干旱（drought）等自然灾害接连不断地发生，雾霾（smog）、沙尘暴等天气频繁出现，这一切严重威胁着我们的生活．怎样减少污染呢？请你根据下列提示以How to Protect the Environment为题为你校校报写一篇文章．
    1．政府应通过新的法律，控制工业污染．
    2．公众应该提高环保意识，改变自己的生活方式，如节电、节水等等．
    3．作为中学生，我们应该…．
    注意：
    1．内容可适当增加，字数不少于100词．
    2．开头已经写好，不计入总词数．
    How to Protect the EnvironmentAs we all know，with the development of economy，our environment is being polluted more and more seriously．As a result，natural disasters such as floods and droughts continuously happen and extreme weather including smogs as well as sandstorms appear now and then，threatening human to a great extent．（高分句型一）In order to make the earth a better place for us to live on，in my opinion，we should do something as follows：
    First of all，the government should pass new laws to prevent industrial pollution．What's more，the public are required to raise the awareness of protecting the environment and change their life style．In their life not only should they save electricity and water but also they are supposed to have waste materials recycled．（高分句型二）
    As students，we should take action in our daily life to protect the environment around us．For example，when doing shopping，we will try to use environment-friendly shopping bags instead of plastic ones to reduce"white pollution"； when going out，it is a good idea to take buses rather than take private cars to reduce waste gas in the air．
    All in all，only when everyone does what he/she can to protect the environment can we have a more beautiful earth．（高分句型三）．

    6．There are two factors which determine an individual's intelligence．The first is the sort of brain he is born with．Human brains differ considerably，some being more capable than others．But no matter how good a brain he has to begin with，an individual will have a low order of intelligence unless he has opportunities to learn．So the second factor is what happens to the individual-the sort of environment in which he is reared．If an individual is handicapped envionmentally，it is likely that his brain will fail to develop and he will never attain the level of intelligence of which he is capable．
    The importance of environment in determining an individual's intellingence can be demonstrated by the case history of the identical twins，Peter and Mark．Being identical，the twins had identical brains at birth，and their growth processes were the same．When the twins were three months old，their parents died，and they were placed in separate foster homes．Peter was reared by parents of low intelligence in an isolated community with poor educational opportunities．Mark was reared in the home of well-to-do parents who had been to college．He was read to as a child，sent to good schools，and given every opportunity to be stimulated intellectually．This enviromental difference continued until the twins were in their late teens，when they were given tesets to measure their intelligence．Mark's I．Q．was 125，twenty-five points higher than the average and fully forty points higher than his identical brother．Given equal opportunities，the twins，having identical brains，would have tested at roughly the same level．

    32．This selection can best be titledB．
    A．Measuring Your Intelligence
    B．Intelligence and Environment
    C．The Case of Peter and Mark
    D．How the brain Influences Intelligence
    33．According to the passage，the average I．Q．isB．
    A.85         B.100           C.110       D.125
    34．The case history of the twins appears to support the conclusion thatC．
    A．individual with identical brains seldom test at same level
    B．an individual's intelligence is determined only by his enviroment
    C．lack of opportunity blocks the growth of intelligence
    D．changes of enviroment produce changes in the structure of the brain
    35．This passage suggests that an individual's I．Q．C．
    A．can be predicted at birth
    B．stays the same throuthout his life
    C．can be increased by education
    D．is determined by his childhood．
