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. 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 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!

【解析】

本文主要介紹了萬維網(wǎng)的發(fā)明人蒂姆·伯納斯·李。他1955出生于英國的倫敦。小時(shí)候，蒂姆對(duì)玩電玩很感興趣，他在牛津大學(xué)學(xué)習(xí)科學(xué)技術(shù)，21歲時(shí)制作了第一臺(tái)電腦。蒂姆開始從事早期的計(jì)算機(jī)工作。他在英國工作，后來在瑞士工作。那時(shí)已經(jīng)有了一個(gè)互聯(lián)網(wǎng)，但它很難使用。1989，蒂姆·伯納·李一個(gè)人發(fā)明了萬維網(wǎng)。他的發(fā)明改變了我們的生活。

大多數(shù)發(fā)明家都想發(fā)財(cái)。但提姆無償捐贈(zèng)出了萬維網(wǎng)。他現(xiàn)在在美國工作。他幫助人們共享技術(shù)，并希望互聯(lián)網(wǎng)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】題意：第3段下畫線的“It”是指“____________________”。考查細(xì)節(jié)理解題。A. Working on early computers從事早期計(jì)算機(jī)的工作；B. Connecting different facts together把不同的事實(shí)聯(lián)系起來；C.
