Question

【題目】Tim BernersLee 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.It 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 BernersLee 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 BernersLee 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!

本文主要介紹了發(fā)明萬維網(wǎng)的偉大發(fā)明家Tim Berners Lee．他在21歲時制作了第一臺電腦，1989年發(fā)明了萬維網(wǎng)，他還免費把這個技術(shù)分享給其他人，免費供大家使用．也許他不是當(dāng)今世界上最出名的發(fā)明家，但卻是最重要的發(fā)明家！

【1】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(dāng)他還是個小男孩的時候，Tim對玩電器很感興趣．及第三段第一行Tim was really interested in two things，computers and how the brain works．Tim真的對兩件事感興趣：電腦和大腦的運作方式．可知應(yīng)該是"研究如何連接計算機．"，選C．

【2】細節(jié)理解題．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，以及It took a lot of time．可知對同樣的一些問題進行不斷地回答，消耗了很多時間．It指的是上句的"對同樣的一些問題的重復(fù)回答"故選D．

【3】細節(jié)理解題．a Tim在英國工作．b Tim在瑞士工作．c Tim制作了他的第一臺計算機．d Tim發(fā)明了萬維網(wǎng)．e Tim在牛津大學(xué)學(xué)習(xí)科學(xué)．根據(jù)第二段第三句He studied science at Oxford University．他在牛津大學(xué)學(xué)習(xí)科學(xué)．可知首先是e．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．可知其次是c．根據(jù)第三段第三句He worked in England then Switzerland．他當(dāng)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，選D．

【4】細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)最后一段"大多數(shù)發(fā)明家都想致富，但Tim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(shù)，希望互聯(lián)網(wǎng)免費供大家使用，也許他是當(dāng)今世界上最重要但最不出名的發(fā)明家！",以及文章第一段Tim BernersLee is not the most famous inventor in the world.However, his invention has changed our lives.可知，他改變了我們的生活，他是偉大的．選B．

本篇文章屬于著名人物介紹，文章中的問題都涉及到細節(jié)，所以在把握文章大意的同時注意對細節(jié)的理解.例如第2小題，根據(jù)第二段第二句When he was a small boy，Tim was interested in playing with electrical things當(dāng)他還是個小男孩的時候，Tim對玩電器很感興趣．及第三段第一行Tim was really interested in two things，computers and how the brain works．Tim真的對兩件事感興趣：電腦和大腦的運作方式，故選 C．
