1990 was a significant year in world events. In February, 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 creatively 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 center in Switzerland. There he 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 anywhere find each other and send and receive information. In 1990, while still at the science center in Switzerland, he put them together to make the first Internet browser. It could run on any computer and allowed people to 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 why few people outside the world of technology know his name.

1.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 cares little about money and knowledge.

D. He is well-known all over the world.

2.Where does Berners-Lee live today?

A. England.　　 B. Switzerland.　　 C. America.　　 D. Canada.

3.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

A. The address system was used to make web pages.

B. The World Wide Web was created in Switzerland.

C. The first web browser was very expensive to buy.

D. Many people could use the Internet before 1990.

4.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.

Nelson Mandela was a figure of international fame, and many details of his life and career were public knowledge. But here are four things you may not have known about the late South African leader.

1. He was a boxing fan.

In his youth, Nelson Mandela enjoyed boxing and long-distance running. Even during the 27 years he spent in prison, he would exercise every morning. "I did not enjoy the violence of boxing so much as the science of it. I was curious by how one moved one's body to protect oneself, how one used a strategy both to attack and retreat, how one paced oneself over a match," he wrote in his autobiography Long Walk to Freedom.

2. His original name was not Nelson.

Rolihlahla Mandela was nine years old when a teacher at the primary Methodist school where he was studying in Qunu, South Africa, gave him an English name “Nelson” in accordance with the custom to give all school children Christian names.

But when he pulled out the text of his speech, he realized he had forgotten his glasses and had to borrow Winnie's.

4. He had his own law firm, but it took him years to get a law degree.

Mr. Mandela studied law on and off for 50 years from 1939, failing about half the courses he took.

In his youth，Mandela enjoyed boxing. Even during the 27 years he spent in prison，he would exercise every morning. “I did not enjoy the violence of boxing so much as the science of it.

Mr.Mandela studied law on and off for 50 years from 1939，failing about half the course he took. In August 1952，he and Oliver Tambo founded South Africa's first black law firm，Mandela and Tambo，in Johannesburg. He persevered (坚持) to finally get a law degree while in prison in 1989.

高一英语阅读理解中等难度题查看答案及解析

Last Friday, I was coming home late after spending time with friends and thought I’d go down to the $99 cent pizza place. On the way, I saw a man sitting on the stairs alone there. I’d seen him before every day I run late to work, but this time I had no place to rush off to.

There was something about him, a quiet manner, different from many of other homeless people I had seen in New York City. I walked past him, went to the pizza place, and those 10 seconds waiting in line was enough to practice stepping outside of my usual, familiar flow. So with a few slices in hand, I went back to join him. I asked him if he was hungry. He said yes, but not for pizza because it made him uncomfortable. He’d rather have a few bucks for chicken and rice since it was easier on his stomach. It’s funny, in that moment, he became more real to me.

This man I had seen almost every day was someone with specific conditions, needs, and experiences. We exchanged names and ended up talking for a little over an hour that night as Kevin told me stories from his life, how he had done things when “he was younger and didn’t know any better” and how he tried to make amends (补偿) but too much time had passed. He shared his views on the value for young adults to learn the history of other people.

He talked about his one wish being in his 60’s before he leaves this earth, which is to share his story with the teenagers and young adults so they could avoid the mistakes he went through. Throughout the conversation, he eventually got his chicken and rice and gifted me a rose he had been carrying. Shortly afterwards, I made my way home, thinking to myself, “I met an amazing homeless person”.

1.The writer’s purpose in writing the passage is to ____.

A. share his experience            B. show his generosity

C. express his thoughts            D. exchange his opinions

2.The homeless man refused pizza because he ____.

A. did not feel very hungry at that moment

B. had something wrong with his stomach

C. preferred some chicken and rice to pizza

D. might feel ashamed to be given something

3.What’s the homeless man’s last wish?

A. To become a lot younger again.

B. To make amends for his early life.

C. To have enough chicken and rice to eat.

D. To teach the young not to follow his example.

4.It can be inferred from the text that ____.

A. The homeless man is different from others

B. The writer showed his pity to the homeless man

C. What the homeless man thought shocked the writer

D. What the homeless man did was not very meaningful

5.How do you like the homeless man after reading the passage?

A. Learned.    B. Honorable.    C. Determined.    D. Promising.
