16、Tim Berners­Lee 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 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 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 wanted to share information with others, they used the World Wide Web. The Internet grew quickly after that.
Tim Berners­Lee 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 Berners­Lee interested in？
A．Looking for jobs in different cities.
B．Talking to people around the world.
C．Studying how to connect computers.
2．The underlined word “It” in Paragraph 3 refers to “________”．
A．Working on early computers
B．Connecting different facts together

3．Why is Tim Berners­Lee 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.
4．In what order did the following events take place?
a．Tim worked in England.
b．Tim worked in Switzerland.
c．Tim made his first computer.
d．Tim invented the World Wide Web.
e．Tim studied science at Oxford University.
A．c－e－d－a－b B．e－b－a－c－d
C．e－c－a－b－d
5．What does the writer think of Tim Berners­Lee?
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 make people a good life.

17、Life is full of surprises and you never know how things will turn out.
Sir John Gurdon is a good example of this. As a boy, he was told he was hopeless at science and was at bottom of his class. Now, aged 79，the very same Gurdon shared the 2012 Nobel Prize in Medicine with Japanese stem cell (干细胞) researcher Shinya Yamanaka.
Like so many scientists, Gurdon shows us where the power of curiosity and perseverance(坚持) can lead.
When he was 15 in 1948，Gurdon ranked last out of the 250 boys at his high school in biology and every other science subject. Gurdon’s high school science teacher even said that his dream of becoming a scientist was “quite ridiculous”.
In spite of his teacher’s criticisms(批评), Gurdon followed his curiosity and kept working hard. He went to the lab early and left later than anyone else. He experienced thousands of failures.
“My own belief is that we will, in the end，understand everything about how cells actually work，”Gurdon said.
In 1962, Gurdon took a cell from an adult frog and moved its genetic (基因的) information into an egg cell. The egg cell then grew into a clone of the adult frog. This technique later helped to create the sheep Dolly in 1996，the first cloned mammal(哺乳动物) in the world.
In 2006，Gurdon’s work was developed by Yamanaka to show that a sample(样本) of a person’s skin can be used to create stem cells. Using this technique, doctors can repair a patient’s heart after a heart attack.

“Luck favors the prepared mind,” Gurdon told the Nobel Prize Organization. “Ninety percent of the time things don’t work, but when they do, you have to seize(抓住) the chance.”
1．Who won the 2012 Nobel Prize in Medicine?
A．Sir John Gurdon
B．Shinya Yamanaka
C．Sir John Gurdon and Shinya Yamanaka
D．Gurdon’s science teacher
2．What does the underlined word “ridiculous” mean?
A．荒谬的 B．无畏的 C．荒废的 D．无知的
3．In what order are the following events mentioned in the passage.
a. create the sheep Dolly
b. take a cell from an adult frog
c. use a person’s skin to create stem cells
d. move a frog’s genetic information into an egg cell
e. grow into a clone of the adult frog
A．b-a-c-d-e B．b-d-e-a-c C．b-d-a-e-c D．b-c-d-a-e
4．According to the passage, which statement is TRUE?
A．Sheep Dolly was the first cloned animal in the world.
B．Gurdon ranked first at his high school in biology.
C．It’s impossible for the doctors to repair a patient’s heart after a heart attack.
D．According to the science teacher, Gurdon was not a gifted student.
5．What’s the main idea of the passage?
A．Ninety percent of the time things don’t work.
B．Luck favors the prepared mind.
C．Life is full of pleasure.
D．How to know cells actually work.
