25、Tim Berners-Lee is 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 at the age of 21.

Tim started working on early computers. At that time, they were much bigger than now. He worked in England and 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 all 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. Could 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 Berners Lee 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 wanted to share information with others. they used the World Wide Web. The Internet grew quickly after that.

Tim Berners- Lee doesn’t 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 worked 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 inventor in the world today!

【1】What was Tim Berners – Lee interested in?

A．Looking for jobs in different cities.

B．Talking to people around the world.

C．Studying how to connect computers.

D．Exploring how to improve memory.

【2】What does the underlined word“It”in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A．Working on early computers.

B．Connecting different facts together.

C．Travelling to the office in Switzerland.

D．Repeating the answers to the same questions.

【3】Why is Tim Bemers-Lee one of the most important men in the world?

A．He made information sharing on the Internet possible.

B．He made the first computer when he was 21 years old.

C．He helped people understand better how the brain works.

D．He invented the Internet and made it free for everyone to use.

【4】What does the writer think of Tim Berners-Lee?

A．He is not famous because he is not rich.

B．He has changed our lives and he is great.

C．He did nothing special but made people a good life.

26、I often feel I’m blunt (说话生硬的) when speaking Chinese. “Bu yao,” “Mei you,” “Bu ke yi”—all these expressions are commonly used to turn down offers in Chinese. Each time I use them, I fight with my desire (渴望) to use them with a few polite expressions like “Thank you,” “Excuse me” or “I’m sorry.”

However, it seems Chinese people do not consider bluntness impolite. Here is a familiar scene from my everyday life. A crowded subway train is about to pull out. Just before the door is closed, a passenger pushes against others and shouts “Off the train!” There was no “Excuse me” or “Sorry” to be heard. Among good friends, the grammar of politeness is almost the same. At a Chinese restaurant, a friend of mine cries “Give me the salt!” instead of saying “Could you give me the salt? Thanks.” After many years of training children in western table manners, I always want to remind him or her to add, “Please!”

My Chinese friends told me that they noticed westerners frequently (频繁地) use “Please” and “Thank you” when speaking Chinese. In fact, we use them much more than they imagined. A Chinese language teacher, Zhang Kaidi, says that in China, using “please” sometimes has the opposite effect (效果) of politeness. It adds a kind of space that says we need some formality (拘谨) between us.

My Chinese teacher Danny nodded his head when I asked him about this explanation. “Good friends are close. They are a part of you,” Danny said. “Why would you say ‘Please’ or ‘Thank you’ to yourself? It doesn’t make sense.”

The first Chinese term that westerners usually learn is “Ni hao.” The second is probably “Xie xie.” Perhaps more westerners should be taught about how the use of “Xie xie” really sounds to Chinese ears!

【1】How does the writer feel when refusing offers in Chinese?

A．Uneasy.

B．Proud.

C．Comfortable.

【2】What does the writer mean to do in paragraph 2?

A．Present an opinion.

B．Offer some advice.

C．Make a conclusion.

【3】What can we infer about using “please” from Zhang Kaidi?

A．It can express respect.

B．It can improve relationship.

C．It can cause misunderstanding.

【4】What did Danny think of Zhang’s explanation?

A．Unreasonable.

B．Acceptable.

C．Unbelievable.

【5】What does the text mainly discuss about “Thank You” and “Please”?

A．What they stand for in China.

B．How they sound to Chinese ears.

C．Why they are often used by westerners.

27、How do you deal with plastic bags from the supermarket? Throw them away or reuse them? How about eating them?

EnviGreen in India has made a bag with natural ingredients (成分). It looks and feels just like plastic, but can be broken down. The bags bring no harm to the environment. Both humans and animals can safely eat them. EnviGreen’s founder Ashwath Hedge spent four years trying out such a thing of 12 natural ingredients. It includes potatoes, vegetable oil and bananas. He made the ingredients into liquid (液体) and used the liquid to make the bag.

Although the EnviGreen bags are much more expensive than those usual plastic bags, they are good for our environment. Usually, it takes 1, 000 years for usual plastic bags to break down. But an EnviGreen bag can naturally break down in less than 180 days. It also breaks down in less than a day in water, and in about 15 seconds in boiling water. Maybe the EnviGreen bag could be a solution to the world problem of plastic pollution.

【1】We can infer that EnviGreen is ________.

A．a kind of Indian food

B．an Indian company

C．an Indian restaurant

D．an organization in India

【2】Which of the following ingredients may not be in the special bag?
