1990 was a significant year in world enents. In Febbruary, Nelson Mandela was set free after 27 years in prison. In October, East and West Germany became one country again. Then at the end of 1990, the World Wide Web was born. For this final event we have one man to thank, Tim Berners-Lee, the father of the Web.

Berners-Lee was born on June 8, 1955 in London, England. His parents, both computer designers, encouraged him to think and work creativelhy as he grew up. He was an excellent student and naturally took an interest in computers and science.

After graduating from Oxford University, Tim went to work at a science research centre in Sfwitzerland. There be developed some of the different systems that would later become the Web. The first was HTML, the computer language used to make web pages. The second was an address system that let  computers anhywhere find each other and send and receive information. In 1990, while still at the science centre in Switzerland, he put them together to make the first Internet browser. It could run on any computer and allowed people to create  share their information with the rest of the world.

Tim knew that the more people used the Web, the more useful it would be. He wasn’t interested in money but knowledge, so he gave out his invention for free to anyone who was interested. Many were interested and the growth of the Internet began.

Today Tim works as a professor at the MIT in America, researching new and interesting ways to use the Web. He has received many awards from governments and organizations for his efforts. He is still not very interested in money. That is why he is so admired by his students and workmates. It may also be one of the reasons that few people outside the world of technology know his name.

1.細(xì)節(jié)推測(cè)題。根據(jù)下文，發(fā)生在1990年的世界事件：東西德統(tǒng)一，World Wide Web 的誕生。我們不難推測(cè)，significant是指重要，重大。故選C。

2.判斷推理題。根據(jù)第三段…the address that let computers anywhere find each other and send and receive information…選項(xiàng)A 與此不符；根據(jù)第四段，Tim只對(duì)知識(shí)感興趣而金錢并不感興趣，因此他免費(fèi)貢獻(xiàn)出他的發(fā)明web browser, 選項(xiàng)C不正確；根據(jù)第一段，我們知道web是在1990年誕生的，因此1990年前，人們并不可能使用web。排除D。

3.細(xì)節(jié)推理題。根據(jù)第二段，Tim學(xué)習(xí)成績(jī)優(yōu)秀,排除B；文中沒(méi)有提到Tim是個(gè)商人，故排除C; 最后一段最后一句話… few people outside the world of technology know his name. 可知Tim并非世界聞名，排除D。選項(xiàng)A 體現(xiàn)在文中第二段“…encouraged him to think and work creatively…”

4.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。最后一段第一句可以知道Tim現(xiàn)在住在美國(guó)。

5.歸納綜合題。這篇文章主要介紹Web之父Tim Berners-lee.
