    Apple Inc co-founder and former CEO Steve Jobs, counted among the greatest American
    CEOs of his generation, died on Wednesday at the age of 56, after a-year-long and highly
    public battle with cancer. Jobs' death was announced by Apple in a statement late on
    Wednesday. The Apple.com homepage featured a black-and-white picture of him with
    the words "Steve Jobs, 1955-2011".
    A message on the site read, "Apple has lost an imaginary and creative genius, and the
    world has lost an amazing human being. Those of us who have been fortunate enough to
    know and work with Steve have lost a dear friend and an inspiring leader."
    "His greatest love was for his wife, Laurene, and his family. Our hearts go out to them
    and to all who were touched by his extraordinary gifts."
    "Steve leaves behind a company that only he could have built, and his spirit will forever
    be the foundation of Apple." The Silicon Valley hero who gave the world the iPod and the
    iPhone had resigned as CEO of the world's largest technology corporation in August,
    handing the position to current chief executive Tim Cook.
    Two years before the iPhone that forever transformed the way people around the
    world access and use the Internet, Jobs talked about how a sense of his death was a
    major driver behind that vision.
    "Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever got to help
    me make the big choices in life," Jobs said during a Stanford commencement ceremony
    in 2005. "Because almost everything-all others' expectations, all pride, all fear of
    embarrassment or failure-these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only
    what is truly important."
    "Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of
    thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to
    follow your heart."

    B. It can teach people how to surf the Internet.
    C. People can learn the spirit of Apple from it.

等考点的理解。关于这些考点您可以点击下面的选项卡查看详细档案。
  • 政治经济类阅读

政治经济类文章的概念:

要做好这类阅读,平时就要注意了解国内外发生的政治经济大事,掌握一定背景知识,对这类文章的叙述特点及内容安排有一定了解,还要扩展这方面的词汇。阅读这类文章,要抓住文章的核心,即文章整体和各段主要在说什么,也要注意段落之间的逻辑关系。


如何备考政治经济类阅读理解题:

【题型说明】政治经济类阅读文章是高考常选材料之一。该类文章时代气息浓郁,语言鲜活,但熟字新义词、超纲词及专业词语多,长句、难句多。政治类文章大多数是同学们感性趣的内容,读起来倒有似曾相识的感觉,经济类文章读起来就像是雾里看花,文章看完,一头雾水。再加之这类文章的命题侧重于词义猜测、推理判断和文章主旨,同学们对这类题材是望而生畏。
【备考策略】建立心理优势。针对不同体裁的文章,我们要采取相应的阅读方法和技巧。政治类文章多采用记叙文形式,我们可采取“顺读法”,以便抓关键语句,领会文章主旨;而经济类文章则多采用说明文形式,我们则可以采取“逆读法”,先读试题,再从文章中查找有用信息。若遇到的确难读的材料。千万不用着急,因为你觉得难,其他人也一定是同感。在高考前,我们就要有这种心理准备,高考试卷肯定有一、两篇难以阅读的材料。不过,我们平时可以有意识地从报刊杂志上找一些较难的阅读材料来阅读,以培养自己迎难而上的心理素质。
【答题方法】
1、寻找主干:
根据英语中五种基本句型结构,把句子中的主语、谓语、宾语、表语等主要成分找出来,其他成分如定语、状语、补语等则易于理解。找到了句子主干,句子的意思至少明白了一半。
2、剔除从句:
在一个长句中可能会出现若干个从句,在理解时,如果把各个从句剔除出来单独理解,然后把大意拼凑起来,整个长句的意思就会明白六、七分。
3、辨别分句:
一个长句如果是由几个并列、转折、递进、对比关系的分句组成,句中往往有表示这些分句关系的连接词,只要能弄清楚分句和分句之间的逻辑关系,再把各层分句的意思加以连贯,整个长句的句意基本上能跃然脑中。
4、寻找关键词:
如果一个句子看完,一点句意的感觉也没有,下下策就是抓住句中的关键词,通过关键词大体弄懂这个长句的意思。
