2.As a teenager in 1972,Bill Gates once said that he would be a millionaire by the time he was 20.Only 15years later he was a billionaire.And by 1992,as head of the Microsoft company,he became the richest man in American with assets (資產(chǎn)) of about US$ 6.3billion.
Gates was born in Seattle,Washington on 28,October 1956.He first started to play with the computer at the age of 13at his school.At that time,computers were very large machines.Opera-tors were required to learn complex computer languages before the machines could be used.Even then,a great deal of time and effort was needed to perform the simplest functions.Before long Gates was an expert at working the school's computer.After his graduation from secondary school,Gates was accepted by the three top universities in the USA---Princeton.Harvard and Yale.He chos-e Harvard and began classes there the next autumn,majoring in maths.But he spent as much timein the computer laboratories as he did in the lecture halls.
By 1975,Gates and a partner,Paul Allen,had developed a software program called BASIC.This was not the first program ever created,but its inventors were the first to decide that people who wanted to use it should pa for it..BASIC was a success because until it came along there had been no efficient way of getting computers to carry out instructions.Although he had not yet completed his degree,Gates left university and went to work full time for the new company he had formed called Microsoft.His next project was the software program that made him famous and very rich.It was called DOS,short for Disk Operating System,and it was bought by IBM in 1980.Today it is the operating system used in more than 14million personal computers around the world.
As chief executive officer of Microsoft,Gates is known as a bright man.To most people,Gates,in spite of his wealth,is humble and ordinary.He spends his money carefully and often eats in fast-food restaurants.

分析 本文介紹了比爾•蓋茨的人生經(jīng)歷以及他創(chuàng)辦微軟公司的過(guò)程,特別介紹了他對(duì)于計(jì)算機(jī)的熱愛.

解答 58.A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第一段的As a teenager in 1972,Bill Gates once said that he would be a millionaire by the time he was 20.Only 15years later he was a billionaire.可知比爾•蓋茨在1972年是個(gè)少年時(shí)曾說(shuō)在20歲前成為百萬(wàn)富翁,15年后即1987年成為了億萬(wàn)富翁.根據(jù)第二段的Gates was born in Seattle,Washington on 28,October 1956.可知比爾•蓋茨出生于1956年.所以他是在31歲時(shí)成為億萬(wàn)富翁,故選A.
59.B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第二段的Hechos-e Harvard and began classes there the next autumn,majoring in maths.But he spent as much time in the computerlaboratories as he did in the lecture halls.可知他主修數(shù)學(xué),但是他卻把很多的時(shí)間都花在計(jì)算機(jī)實(shí)驗(yàn)室和演講大廳里,所以比爾•蓋茨在哈佛的計(jì)算機(jī)實(shí)驗(yàn)室里花費(fèi)了大量的時(shí)間,故選B.
60.B推理判斷題.根據(jù)第三段的Thiswas not the first program ever created,but its inventors were the first todecide that people who wanted to use it should pay for it.可知,這不是有史以來(lái)的第一個(gè)項(xiàng)目,但它的發(fā)明者是第一個(gè)決定誰(shuí)想要使用它就應(yīng)該付錢.所以之前沒(méi)有人想到把BASIC用于商業(yè)用途,故選B.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 本文是人物故事類閱讀,主要考查細(xì)節(jié)理解題和推理判斷題.在做細(xì)節(jié)理解題時(shí),首先根據(jù)題目要求迅速在文章里找出相應(yīng)的段落、句子或短語(yǔ).認(rèn)真比較選項(xiàng)和文中細(xì)節(jié)的區(qū)別,在做推理判斷題時(shí)不要以個(gè)人的主觀想象代替文章的事實(shí),要根據(jù)文章事實(shí)進(jìn)行合乎邏輯的推理判斷.
