On Oct. 6th, 2011, a piece of breaking news hit the world: Steve Jobs, the founder of the Apple Company, 【小题1】 (pass) away after years of battle against pancreatic cancer. I as well as many people 【小题2】 (be) sad at the news. We saw him make miracles again and again, and we hoped that he would always give us a surprise. We enjoy using an iPod to listen to music and we like to play games with 【小题3】 iPad. We love to communicate with our friends by iPhone. 【小题4】 seemed that Jobs always understood what we really wanted. So he could devote himself to his career by creating the amazing products constantly. But now he quietly left, 【小题5】 (leave) us a great pity.
U.S. President Barack Obama called Jobs a visionary 【小题6】 (lead) and one of the greatest U.S. innovators. He said in a statement, Steve was brave enough to think differently, bold enough to believe he could change the world, and 【小题7】 (talent) enough to do it.
Steve Jobs’ family said in a statement, “Steve died 【小题8】 (peace) today surrounded by his family. We are grateful for the support and kindness of those 【小题9】 share our feelings for Steve. We know many of you will mourn with us, and we ask that you respect our privacy during our time 【小题10】 sorrow.”passed

(答案→)passed 解析：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。【小题1】passed 本处缺少谓语动词，事情已经发生了，所以用过去时。【小题2】was 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。【小题3】an 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，所以用an。【小题4】It 此处考查It seems that---固定句型，表示似乎、好像------。【小题5】leaving 他离开我们了，给我们留下了很大的遗憾。此处用leaving做结果状语。【小题6】leader 这里指他是一个领导，所以使用leader.【小题7】talented 此处使用形容词与前面的brave和bold并列做表语。【小题8】peacefully 此处使用副词peacefully修饰动词die。【小题9】who 本句是一个定语从句，由who引导一个定语从句，修饰those。【小题10】of 此处是指在我们悲痛的时刻，用of grief作为time的定语。

这个解释是对的
