15.Not a day goes by when we don't use the World Wide Web.Today it has become almost as important to every family as food and water!This year,the World Wide Web has turned 25years old.What many people don't know is that the web was at first created to improve communication between thousands of scientists in Switzerland.
In 1989,Tim Berners-Lee was a 34-year-old British physicist working as a software engineer at CERN,the European Organization for Nuclear Research in Switzerland.Since CERN was a huge organization with thousands of scientists,communication between them was becoming increasingly difficult.
Berners-Lee wanted to develop a system to solve the problem.His paper suggested an information system,where a page on one computer could have a link to another page on another computer (connected through the Internet),allowing scientists to read lots of information quickly.However,Berners-Lee's boss said that it sounded exciting but impossible.
Even though there were many difficulties and few supporters,Berners-Lee went on to develop the World Wide Web.He came up with ideas such as Hyper-text Transfer Protocol(超文本傳議)to allow computers to talk to each other,Hyper-text Markup Language (HTML) to create the pages,a server to serve the pages,and a browser (瀏覽器) to see them.
In December 1990,the World Wide Web was demonstrated (展示)and in 1991,the WWW project was made public,so that other programmers could develop their own browsers.Berners-Lee believed that it could be used for more than scientific purposes.He wanted the Internet to be easy for anyone to use-a free open software.His wishes soon came true.
Although the World Wide Web has today turned into a completely different thing from what it meant at first,it has become necessary and important to our lives,powering our mobile technologies and the way we get information.

分析 本文主要講述萬維網(wǎng)創(chuàng)立過程--是為了解決CERE組織內(nèi)數(shù)千名科學(xué)家之間的溝通,以及它對我們生活的影響--它已經(jīng)變得對我們的生活必不可少,它對每個(gè)家庭變得幾乎和食物、水一樣重要!
解答 12.C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第二段Since CERE was a huge organization with thousands of scientists,communication between them was becoming increasingly difficult和第三段Berners-Lee wanted to develop a system to solve the problem可知,萬維網(wǎng)的創(chuàng)立是為了解決CERE組織內(nèi)數(shù)千名科學(xué)家之間的溝通.故選C.
13.D 推理判斷題.根據(jù)第三段However,Berners-Lee's boss said that it sounded exciting but impossible可知,Berners-Lee的老板說這聽起來很刺激但不可能,也就是說,老板對這沒有信心.故選D.
14.A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第四段Even though there were many difficulties and few supporters,Berners-Lee went on to develop the World Wide Web可知,雖然有許多困難和很少的支持者,伯納斯繼續(xù)開發(fā)萬維網(wǎng).故選A.
15.D 主旨大意題.根據(jù)第一段This year,the World Wide Web has turned 25years old可知,萬維網(wǎng)已經(jīng)25歲,隨后,便是講述的創(chuàng)立過程以及它對我們生活的影響.故選D.
點(diǎn)評 本文是新聞報(bào)道類閱讀理解.做這類題材閱讀理解時(shí)要求考生對文章通讀一遍,做題時(shí)結(jié)合原文和題目有針對性的找出相關(guān)語句進(jìn)行仔細(xì)分析,結(jié)合選項(xiàng)選出正確答案.推理判斷題也是要在抓住關(guān)鍵句子的基礎(chǔ)上合理的分析才能得出正確答案,切忌胡亂猜測,一定要做到有理有據(jù)
