II. 篇章結構 Questions 46-48 (46)_____ (47)______ (48)_____
The creator of Apple, one of the most successful technology companies today, came from humble beginnings. Steve Jobs was born in 1954 and was given up for adoption by his birth parents. (46) This led to Jobs’ early interests in engineering. As a high school student, Jobs befriended Steve Wozniak, who would eventually become Apple’s first
employee. The two friends spent lots of time designing their own electronic products. Jobs attended college for only one semester before dropping out; he felt that the college
educational system was not helping him and not worth what his parents were paying.
Instead, Jobs chose to work in the technology industry. (47) Although Jobs left the company in 1985, he returned in 1997 with ideas for new products. Apple released a colorful computer called the iMac G3 in 1998, and the very successful iPod music player in 2001. But perhaps none of these products had quite the same revolutionary effect as the Apple iPhone, which was released in 2007. (48) Since then, people’s ideas about what personal phones could do would change forever. Although Jobs died of cancer in 2011, his legacy continues to live on in one of the most successful and creative companies in the world.
(A) Apple managed to combine music, photos, and computing features in an iconic, simple design.
(B) His adoptive father, Paul, was a mechanic, and often let young Steve help him on his projects.
(C) After working for several years, Jobs and Wozniak decided to start the Apple company, and together they created one of the first personal computers in 1976.
