27、s 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

28、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 a

29、ll 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. Cou

30、ld 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 w

31、anted to share information with others, they used the World Wide Web. The Internet grew quickly after that.Tim BernersLee doesnt 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 wor

32、ked 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 in

36、 and he is great.CHe did nothing special but make people a good life.D16、Most people around the world are right-handed. This also seems to be true in history. In 1799, scientists studied works of art made at different times from 1,500 BCto the 1950s. Most of the people shown in these works are right

37、-handed, so the scientists guessed that right-handedness has always been common through history. Today, only about 10% to 15% of the worlds population is left-handed.Why are there more right-handed people than left-handed ones? Scientists now know that a persons two hands each have their own jobs. F

38、or most people, the left hand is used to find things or hold things. The right hand is used to work with things. This is because of the different work of the two sides of the brain. The right side of the brain, which makes a persons hands and eyes work together, controls the left hand. The left side

39、 of the brain, which controls the right hand, is the centre for thinking and doing problems. These findings show that more artists should be left-handed, and studies have found that left-handedness is twice as common among artists as among people in other jobs.No one really knows what makes a person

40、 become right-handed instead of left-handed. Scientists have found that almost 40% of the people become left-handed because their main brain is damaged when they are born. However, this doesnt happen to everyone, so scientists guess there must be another reason why people become left-handed. One ide

41、a is that people usually get right-handed from their parents. If a person does not receive the gene(基因) for right-handedness, he / she may become either right-handed or left-handed according to the chance and the people they work or live with.Though right-handedness is more common than left-handedne

42、ss, people no longer think left-handed people are strange or unusual. A long time ago, left-handed children were made to use their right hands like other children, but today they dont have to.1What did the scientists find after studying works of art made at different times in history?AThe art began

43、from 1,500 BC B The works of art ended in the 1950s. CMost people shown in the works of art are right-handed.DMost people shown in the works of art are left-handed.2How many people in the world are left-handed now?AAbout 10%-15%.BAbout 50%.CAbout 40%.DThe passage doesnt tell us.3What is the left han

44、d for most people used to do?AIts used to work with things.BIts used to find or hold things.CIts used to make a persons eyes work together.DIts the centre for thinking and doing problems.4According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?ALeft-handedness is cleverer than right-handedness.

45、BToday children are not made to use their right hands only.CNo one really knows what makes a person become right-handed.DScientists think there must be some reason why people become left-handed.5The best TITLE for this passage is _.AScientists New InventionsBLeft-handed PeopleCHow Brains Control Han

47、y.F18、In the most southern part of our planet, theres a place thats covered with snow and ice all year round. But it has the clearest and cleanest air. Amazingly, in this place, the sun sometimes hangs even in the midnight sky. This place is Antarctica (南極洲): the coldest, windiest and harshest (惡劣的)

48、 place on the Earth. As the worlds least-known place, Antarctica is of great interest to scientists around the world. In 1983, China joined the Antarctic Treaty (南極條約). The treaty made Antarctica a peaceful place for member countries to do scientific research. During 30 years, China has sent many sc

49、ientists to Antarctica. They mostly look at the resources under the icy land and do research about climate change and marine (海洋的) biology.Antarctica is a place with fantastic views. However, life there is very hard. Food is one of the biggest problems. Frozen (速凍) food which can be heated easily is

50、 peoples daily food. Fresh vegetables are hard to grow in the cold weather. Therefore, scientists often eat dried or canned vegetables. Sleep is also troublesome. In Antarctica, summer lasts from November to March. During this period, Antarctica points to the sun and receives sunlight 24 hours a day

51、. In order to get some sleep, scientists cover the windows with black plastic cloth to create “night”. Working in Antarctica is dangerous, especially when meeting gale-force (七級以上的) winds. Sometimes the wind is even stronger than a typhoon. It can easily blow people away. So there are ropes that con

52、nect buildings of some research stations. People can hold these ropes to keep their balance in forceful winds. Whats more, communicating with others is difficult. Without cables and Internet in some research stations, two-way radios are the only tools to communicate. If people want to say hello to f

53、riends and relatives, they can use satellite phones.Although it is challenging to work in Antarctica, scientistspassionto learn about this mysterious land will never end. It is hopeful that one day they will step every corner of this icy land.1From Paragraph 1, we learn that the Antarctica _.Ais covered with snow and iceBrains heavily from time to timeChas little wind most of the timeDhas sunshine during every night2Scientists from China go to Antarctica to _.Afind out ways to control water pollutionBresearch climate change and marine biologyCgrow plants and vegeta
