Question

【題目】Tim Berners-Lee is not the most famous inventor in the world. However, his invention has changed

our lives.

He was born in London, England in 1955. When he was a small boy, Tim was interested in

playing with electrical things. He studied science at Oxford University. He made his first computer

from an old television at the age of 21.

Tim started working on early computers. At that time, they were much bigger than now. He worked in England then Switzerland. Tim was really interested in two things, computers and how the brain

works. How could the brain connect so many facts so quickly? He had to work with people all

over the world. They shared information about computers. It was hard to manage all the information. He answered the same questions again and again. took a lot of time. It was even difficult for computers in the same office in Switzerland to share information. Tim also forgot things easily. Could a computer work like a brain? Could it “talk” to other computers?

There was an Internet already but it was difficult to use. In 1989, Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web (WWW) all by himself. This had a special language that helped computers talk to each other on the Internet. When people wanted to share information with others, they used the World Wide Web. The Internet grew quickly after that.

Tim Berners-Lee doesn’t think he did anything special. He says that all of the ideas about the Internet were already there. All he did was to put them together. He says that many other people worked together to make the Internet what it is today.

Most inventors want to become rich. But Tim gave away the World Wide Web for nothing. He now works in America. He helps people share technology and wants the Internet to be free for everyone to use. Maybe he is the most important but least famous inventor in the world today!

【5】B

【解析】試題分析：主要介紹發(fā)明萬維網(wǎng)的應該發(fā)明家TimBernersLee．他在21歲時制作了第一臺電腦，1989年發(fā)明了萬維網(wǎng)，有助于計算機在互聯(lián)網(wǎng)上交流．他還免費把這個技術分享給其他人，免費供大家使用．也許他是當今世界上最重要但最不出名的發(fā)明家！

【1】C細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段第二句When he was a small boy, Tim was interested in

playing with electrical things. 當他還是個小男孩的時候，提姆對玩電器很感興趣．及第三段Tim was

really interested in two things, computers and how the brain works. 可知，提姆真的對兩件事感興趣：電腦和大腦的運作方式．可知應該是"研究如何連接計算機。故選C。

【2】D詞義猜測題。根據(jù)上句He answered the same questions again and again．他一次又一次地解答了同樣的問題．可知，"它是很難的在瑞士同一個辦公室的計算機共享信息．"中的it針對的是"重復同一問題的答案"，故選D。

【3】A細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段He helps people share technology and wants the Internet to be free for everyone to use. Maybe he is the most important but least famous inventor in the world today!他幫助人們分享技術，希望互聯(lián)網(wǎng)可以免費供大家使用，也許他是當今世界上最重要但最不出名的發(fā)明家！可知，他是世界上最重要的人因為他使互聯(lián)網(wǎng)上的信息共享成為可能。故選A。

【4】D細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)a提姆在英國工作．b提姆在瑞士工作．c提姆制作了他的第一臺計算機．d提姆發(fā)明了萬維網(wǎng);e提姆在牛津大學學習科學．根據(jù)第二段第三句He studied science at Oxford University．他在牛津大學學習科學．可知，e是第一．根據(jù)第二段最后一句He made his first computer

from an old television at the age of 21.他21歲時從一臺舊電視機上制造了他的第一臺電腦．可知c是第二．根據(jù)第三段第三句He worked in England then Switzerland．他當時在英國工作，然后在瑞士工作．可知，a是第三．b是第四．最后發(fā)明了萬維網(wǎng)，d是第五．先后順序是e﹣c﹣a﹣b﹣d，故選D。

【5】B推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段ButTimgaveawaytheWorldWideWebfornothing. "大多數(shù)發(fā)明家都想致富，但提姆無償贈送了萬維網(wǎng)，他現(xiàn)在在美國工作，他幫助人們分享技術，希望互聯(lián)網(wǎng)免費供大家使用，也許他是當今世界上最重要但最不出名的發(fā)明家！"，可知，他改變了我們的生活，他是偉大的．故選B。
