試題這篇短文給我們介紹了斯蒂芬喬布斯。他是蘋果公司的創(chuàng)始人之一，但是他上學(xué)的時候可不是一個好學(xué)生，相反的，他還經(jīng)常制造麻煩，大學(xué)也沒有讀完。然而他是一個充滿了新奇想法的人，這對他以后的成功是至關(guān)重要的。

【1】B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文中He was not among the best students at school，and from time to time he got into trouble with either his schoolmates or his teachers可知，喬布斯在上學(xué)的時候并不是一個好學(xué)生，還經(jīng)常給老師惹麻煩。故選B。

【2】C詞義猜測題。根據(jù)文意和劃線單詞所在的句子But he was full of new ideas，which few people saw the value of可知，雖然喬布斯在學(xué)校里表現(xiàn)不好，但是他充滿了新奇的想法，人們都看不到他的這些想法中的任何價值。value價值，跟它意思接近的是C importance重要性。beauty 美麗；chance 機會；hope希望。

【3】D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第一段的最后Things remained the same when he went up to college and he dropped out halfway可知，喬布斯的大學(xué)沒有讀完，中途退學(xué)了。由此可知選D。

【4】C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第三段中He gave the name “Apple” because it reminded him of a happy summer he once spent on an orchard（果園）in Oregon可知，他給自己的公司命名蘋果，是為了紀(jì)念他在Oregon的果園里度過的幸福時光。故選C。

【5】B推理判斷題。根據(jù)文意可知，斯蒂芬喬布斯雖然在上學(xué)的時候表現(xiàn)不好，大學(xué)也沒有讀完，但是他充滿了新奇的想法，正是這些新的想法讓他獲得了以后的成功。因此應(yīng)該選B。
