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.
小題1: The underlined word “significant” (in Paragraph 1) most probably means “       ” .
A．strange
B．terrible
C．important
D．difficult
小題2:Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A．The address system was used to make make web pages.
B．The World Wide Web was created in Swizerland.
C．The fist web browser was very expensive to buy
D．Many people could use the Internet before 1990
小題3: What can we learn about Berners-Lee from the passage?
A．He was encouraged to be creative.
B．He didn’t do well at school.
C．He is a very poor businessman.
D．He is well-known all over the world.
小題4: Where does Berners-Lee live today?

B．Switzerland.
C．America.
D．Canada.
小題5:What is the passage mainly about?
A．The events that took place in 1990.
B．The history of the Internet.
C．The invention of the Internet browser.
D．The man who created the World Wide Web.

小題1:D
小題1:C
小題1:A
小題1:B
小題1:C

小題1:細(xì)節(jié)推測題。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，significant是指重要，重大。故選C。
小題1: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只對知識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。
小題1:細(xì)節(jié)推理題。根據(jù)第二段，Tim學(xué)習(xí)成績優(yōu)秀,排除B；文中沒有提到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…”
小題1: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。
小題1:歸納綜合題。這篇文章主要介紹Web之父Tim Berners-lee.

One day, I went to see my last patient(病人), an old woman. In the doorway, I saw she was struggling (掙扎) to put socks on her swollen (浮腫)feet in the bed. I stepped in, spoke quickly to the nurse, read her chart noting. I was almost in the clear that she was not in serious condition.
I asked, “Could I help put on your socks? How are you feeling? Your sugars and blood pressure were high but they’re better today. The nurse mentioned you’re anxious to see your son. He’s visiting you today. It’s nice to have a family visit. I think you really look forward to seeing him."
"Sit down, doctor. This is my story, not yours." She said with a serious voice.
I was surprised as I helped her with the socks. She told me that her only son lived around the corner from her, but she had not seen him in five years. She believed that was the main cause of her health problems. After hearing her story and putting on her socks, I asked if there was anything else I could do for her. She shook her head no and smiled. All she wanted me to do was to listen.
Each story is different. Some are detailed; others are simple. Some have a beginning, middle and end; others don’t have clear ends. Some are true; others not. Yet all those things do not really matter. What matters to the storyteller is that the story is heard — without interruption(打斷) or judgment(評價(jià)).
It was that woman who taught me the importance of stopping, sitting down and truly listening. And, not long after, in an unexpected accident, I became a patient. 20 years later, I sit all the time — in a wheelchair.
For as long as I could, I continued to see patients from my chair. I believe in the power of listening.
小題1: How was the old woman?
A．Her feet were swollen. B．Her sugars were high.
C．She was not badly ill.D．Her blood pressure was better.
小題2:How did the doctor know that the old woman’s son was visiting her? 
A．The nurse told him.B．The old woman told him.
C．The woman’s son told him.D．The doctor got it from her chart noting.
小題3:What did the old woman think caused her health problems?
A．Her son’s not seeing her.B．No one listening to her story.
C．The medical care of the hospital.D．The distance between her and her son.
小題4:When the patient told the doctor her stories, what she needed might be ______.
A．keeping smiling B．interruption or judgment
C．listening without interruptionD．communicating with each other
小題5:Which statement is NOT right according to the passage?
A．Her son lived close to her house.
B．The old woman didn’t need the doctor’s treatments.
C．Listening is powerful medicine.
D．The doctor has to “walk” with the help of a wheel chair.

Some people have a kind of magic. They will make you comfortable while they are around. You feel at ease while talking to them. How is it done? Here are several skills that good talkers have. If you follow the skills, they'll help people feel relaxed and make friends with them quickly.
First of all, good talkers ask questions. Almost anyone, no matter how shy he is, will answer a question. One well-known businesswoman says, "At business lunches, I always ask people what they did that morning. It's a common question, but it will get things going." From there you can move on to other matters—sometimes to really personal questions. And how he answers will let you know how far you can go.
Second, once good talkers have asked questions, they listen to the answers. This point seems clear, but it isn't. Your questions should have a point and help to tell what kind of person you are talking to. And to find out, you really have to listen carefully and attentively. Real listening at least means some things. First it means not to change the topic of conversation. If someone insists on one topic, it means he's really interested in it. Real listening also means not just listening to words, but to the voice. If the voice sounds bored, then, it's time for you to change the topic.
Finally, good talkers know well how to deal with the moment of saying good-bye. If you're saying it, you may give him a handshake and say, "I've really enjoyed meeting you." If you want to see that person again, don't keep it a secret. Let people know your thoughts.
小題1:Asking questions might be a quite good and suitable way ________.
A．for you to make more and more new friends
B．to begin your business talks
C．to get things going
D．for you to make a deep and lasting impression on others
小題2:After asking somebody a question, it'll be polite of you to ________.
A．a(chǎn)gree with what others say all the time
B．listen to his reply attentively
C．wait impatiently for his answer
D．go on asking him more questions
小題3:Generally speaking, good talkers are persons who ________.
A．a(chǎn)re not good at making any topic interesting
B．never talk too much or too little
C．a(chǎn)lways speak in a gentle way
D．know when they should change the topic of the talk
小題4:If you really want to meet someone again, ________.
A．you may take him as your lifelong true friend
B．it seems necessary for you to let him know it
C．it's proper for you to give him a second handshake
D．it'll be helpful for you to have further understanding of him
