【解析】

试题分析：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。

1.passed 本处缺少谓语动词，事情已经发生了，所以用过去时。

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。

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。

4.It 此处考查It seems that---固定句型，表示似乎、好像------。

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。

6.leader 这里指他是一个领导，所以使用leader.

7.talented 此处使用形容词与前面的brave和bold并列做表语。

8.peacefully 此处使用副词peacefully修饰动词die。

9.who 本句是一个定语从句，由who引导一个定语从句，修饰those。

10.of 此处是指在我们悲痛的时刻，用of grief作为time的定语。

考点：考查语法填空
