题干

     Apple's logo is one of the most familiar icons(图标) around the world. But what’s the story about the Apple logo? The image of the apple is obvious, because that's the name of the company. What about the bite? The famous story is that the logo shows respect and honour for Alan Turing. He was the father of computer science. He researched artificial intelligence(人工智能) and unlocked German wartime codes(密码). However,after the war, he was put into prison,because of his beliefs. He could not stand the looking down and chose to bite a poisoned apple to end his life in the prison.
    However, Rob Janoff, who designed the famous Apple logo, said, “It's not the truth, but only a legend(传说, 传奇). The real reason why I designed it with a bite is very simple. I wanted people to get that it was an apple not a cherry (樱桃). When I go to markets to buy apples, I always mistake apples for cherries. It really has nothing to do with the scientist.”
    Are you kidding? An apple is much bigger than a cherry. It's very easy to tell. But if you use an apple to design a logo, some people may mistake it for a cherry.

阅读下面文字,完成后面小题。

    试跳成功。紧接着,一对对斑羚凌空跃起,在山涧上空画出一道道令人眼花缭乱的弧线。每一只年轻斑羚的成功飞渡,都意味着有一只老年斑羚摔得粉身碎骨。

    山涧上空,和那道彩虹平行,又架起了一座桥,那是一座用死亡做桥墩架设起来的桥。没有拥挤,没有争夺,秩序井然,快速飞渡。我十分注意盯着那群注定要送死的老斑羚,心想,或许有个别滑头的老斑羚会从注定死亡的那拨偷偷溜到新生的那拨去,但让我震惊的是,从头至尾没有一只老斑羚调换位置。

    它们心甘情愿用生命为下一代开辟一条生存的道路。

    绝大部分老斑羚都用高超的跳跃技艺,帮助年轻斑羚平安地飞渡到对岸的山峰。只有一头衰老的母斑羚,在和一只小斑羚空中衔接时,大概力不从心,没能让小斑羚踩上自己的背,一老一小一起坠进深渊。

    我没想到,在面临种群灭绝的关键时刻,斑羚群竟然能想出牺牲一半挽救另一半的办法来赢得种群的生存机会。我更没想到,老斑羚们会那么从容地走向死亡。

    我看得目瞪口呆,所有的猎人都看得目瞪口呆,连狗也惊讶地张大嘴,伸出了长长的舌头。

    最后伤心崖上只剩下那只成功地指挥了这群斑羚集体飞渡的镰刀头羊。这群斑羚不是偶数,恰恰是奇数。镰刀头羊孤零零地站在山峰上,既没有年轻的斑羚需要它做空中垫脚石飞到对岸去,也没有谁来帮它飞渡。只见它迈着坚定的步伐,走向那道绚丽的彩虹。弯弯的彩虹一头连着伤心崖,一头连着对岸的山峰,像一座美丽的桥。

    它走了上去,消失在一片灿烂中。
