Answer 1

分析 本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了苹果公司创始人Steve Jobs去世后人们对他的怀念．

解答 61．passed 考查动词时态．斯蒂夫•乔布斯去世，是发生在过去的事情，用一般过去时．
62．was 考查主谓一致．主语后有as well as，with，together with，including等介词短语修饰的时，不影响谓语动词，即：谓语动词与前面的主语保持一致，和主语后的介词无关．本句be与I一致．
63．an 考查冠词．with后加不定冠词再加名词，表示用---工具或途径等，iPad为元音音标开头的单词，用不定冠词an．        
64．It 考查it用法．句型It seems that…意为"似乎、好像…"，是固定句型．
65．leaving 考查现在分词．主语"he"和动作"leave"是主动关系，所以用现在分词作结果状语．
66．leader 考查名词．根据句意：美国总统奥巴马称乔布斯是一位卓有远见的领导人．前面有冠词，应用名词leader．
67．talented 考查形容词． 此处使用形容词与前面的brave和bold并列做表语．talented意为"有才能的"．
68．peacefully 考查副词．die是动词，要用副词修饰．
69．for 考查介词．be grateful for意为"因…感激"，是固定搭配．
70．who 考查定语从句．分析句子结构可知这是一个定语从句，先行词those在从句中作主语．
