3.Not a day goes by when we don't use the World Wide Web.Today it has become almost as important to every family as food and water!This year,the World Wide Web has turned 25years old.What many people don't know is that the web was at first created to improve communication between thousands of scientists in Switzerland.
In 1989,Tim Berners-Lee was a 34-year-old British physicist working as a software(軟件)engineer at CERN,the European Organization for Nuclear Research in Switzerland.Since CERE was a huge organization with thousands of scientists,communication between them was becoming increasingly difficult.
Berners-Lee wanted to develop a system to solve the problem.His paper suggested an information system,where a page on one computer could have a link to another page on another computer ( connected through the Internet) allowing scientists to read lots of information quickly.However,Berners-Lee's boss said that it sounded exciting but impossible.
Even though there were many difficulties and few supporters,Berners-Lee went on to develop the World Wide Web.He came up with ideas such as Hyper-text Transfer Protocol(超文本傳輸協(xié)議)to allow computers to talk to each other,Hyper-text Markup Language (HTML) to create the pages,a server to serve the pages,and a browser(瀏覽器)to see them.
In December 1990,the World Wide Web was demonstrated(展示)and in 1991,the WWW project was made public,so that other programmers could develop their own browsers.Berners-Lee believed that it could be used for more than scientific purposes.He wanted the Internet to be easy for anyone to use-a free open software.His wishes soon came true.
Although the World Wide Web has today turned into a completely different thing from what it meant at first,it has become necessary and important to our lives,powering our mobile technologies and the way we get information.

分析 本文主要講述萬維網(wǎng)創(chuàng)立過程--是為了解決CERE組織內(nèi)數(shù)千名科學(xué)家之間的溝通,以及它對(duì)我們生活的影響--它已經(jīng)變得對(duì)我們的生活必不可少,它對(duì)每個(gè)家庭變得幾乎和食物、水一樣重要!
解答 56--60 DCADB
56.D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第二段Since CERE was a huge organization with thousands of scientists,communication between them was becoming increasingly difficult和第三段Berners-Lee wanted to develop a system to solve the problem可知,萬維網(wǎng)的創(chuàng)立是為了解決CERE組織內(nèi)數(shù)千名科學(xué)家之間的溝通.故選D.
57.C 推理判斷題.根據(jù)第三段However,Berners-Lee's boss said that it sounded exciting but impossible可知,Berners-Lee的老板說這聽起來很刺激但不可能,也就是說,老板對(duì)這沒有信心.故選C.
58.A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第四段Even though there were many difficulties and few supporters,Berners-Lee went on to develop the World Wide Web可知,雖然有許多困難和很少的支持者,伯納斯繼續(xù)開發(fā)萬維網(wǎng).故選A.
59.D 詞語指代題.根據(jù)前文the WWW project was made public,so that other programmers could develop their own browsers可知,WWW項(xiàng)目被公開,以便其他程序員可以開發(fā)自己的瀏覽器,而"Berners-Lee認(rèn)為它可以用于不僅僅是科學(xué)的目的",此處的it指代WWW.故選D.
60.B 主旨大意題.根據(jù)第一段This year,the World Wide Web has turned 25years old可知,萬維網(wǎng)已經(jīng)25歲,隨后,便是講述的創(chuàng)立過程以及它對(duì)我們生活的影響.故選B.
點(diǎn)評(píng) 新聞一般采用"倒金字塔"式結(jié)構(gòu)(即先說結(jié)果,再說重要事實(shí),最后說次要內(nèi)容),但有的通訊敘述方比較靈活多變,有順敘、倒敘、中間或許還會(huì)有插敘、補(bǔ)敘等敘述方法,這就要求我們?cè)陂喿x時(shí)特別關(guān)注.必須在十分有限的時(shí)間內(nèi)運(yùn)用略讀、掃讀、跳讀等技巧快速閱讀,搜尋關(guān)鍵詞、主題句,捕捉時(shí)空、順序、情節(jié)、人物、觀點(diǎn),并且理清文章脈絡(luò),把握語篇實(shí)質(zhì).
