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!

文章大意：這是一篇人物故事類閱讀，主要介紹萬維網(wǎng)的發(fā)明家Tim Berners Lee。他在21歲時(shí)制作了他的第一臺(tái)電腦，1989年發(fā)明了萬維網(wǎng)，有助于計(jì)算機(jī)在互聯(lián)網(wǎng)上交流。他還免費(fèi)把這個(gè)技術(shù)分享給其他人，免費(fèi)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！

【1】推理判斷題。根據(jù)文中的句子When he was a small boy，Tim was interested in playing with electrical things.當(dāng)他還是個(gè)小男孩的時(shí)候，蒂姆對(duì)玩電器很感興趣，以及Tim was really interested in two things, computers and how the brain works.蒂姆真的對(duì)兩件事感興趣：電腦和大腦的運(yùn)作方式，可知應(yīng)該是"研究如何連接計(jì)算機(jī)"，故答案選C。

【2】指代判斷題。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(duì)同樣的一些問題進(jìn)行不斷地回答，消耗了很多時(shí)間，It指的是上句的"對(duì)同樣的一些問題的重復(fù)回答"，故答案選C。

【3】推理判斷題。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(shù)，希望互聯(lián)網(wǎng)可以免費(fèi)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！可知，他是世界上最重要的人因?yàn)樗�使互�?lián)網(wǎng)上的信息共享成為可能，故答案選A。

【4】理解排序題。a蒂姆在英國工作。b蒂姆在瑞士工作。c蒂姆制作了他的第一臺(tái)計(jì)算機(jī)。d蒂姆發(fā)明了萬維網(wǎng)。e蒂姆在牛津大學(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，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(shí)從一臺(tái)舊電視機(jī)上制造了他的第一臺(tái)電腦，可知c是第二。根據(jù)第三段第三句He worked in England then Switzerland．他先在英國工作，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，故答案選C。

【5】推理判斷題。通過對(duì)文章的理解，以及最后一段"大多數(shù)發(fā)明家都想發(fā)財(cái)，但蒂姆免費(fèi)提供了萬維網(wǎng)，他現(xiàn)在在美國工作，他幫助人們分享技術(shù)，并希望互聯(lián)網(wǎng)對(duì)每個(gè)人都是免費(fèi)的。也許他是當(dāng)今世界上最重要但最不出名的發(fā)明家！"可知，蒂姆發(fā)明的萬維網(wǎng)改變了我們的生活，他是偉大的，故答案選B。

本文主要向我們介紹了萬維網(wǎng)的發(fā)明家Tim Berners Lee。題目的設(shè)計(jì)除去推理判斷題、指代判斷題，還有理解排序題；題型比較靈活，考查了學(xué)生多方面的知識(shí)和技能。不但要求學(xué)生要讀懂文意，還要在理解原文表面文字信息的基礎(chǔ)上，根據(jù)文章事實(shí)做出一定的推理判斷。如，第5小題，通讀全文內(nèi)容，可以推測出蒂姆發(fā)明的萬維網(wǎng)極大的改變了我們的生活，他是偉大的，故答案選B。
