Ⅵ.阅读理解
1990 was a significant year in world events. In February, Nelson Mandela was set free after 27 years in prison. In October, East Germany 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. Tim 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 centre 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 the Web pages. The second was an address system that let computers anywhere find each other and send and receive information. In 1990, while he was still at the science centre in Switzerland, he put them together to make the first Internet browser(浏览器)．It could run on any computer and allowed people to create websites 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.
Tim worked as a professor at the MIT in America, researching new and interesting ways to use the Web. He received many awards from governments and organisations 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.
(　　)29.The underlined word “significant” in Para. 1 most probably means “________”．
A．strange
B．terrible
C．difficult
D．important
(　　)30.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage
A．The World Wide Web was created in Switzerland.
B．The first Web browser was very expensive to buy.
C．The address system was used to make the Web pages.
D．Many people could use the Internet before 1990.
(　　)31.What can we learn about Tim Berners Lee from the passage
A．He didn't do well at school.
B．He was encouraged to be creative.
C．He is a very poor businessman.
D．He is well known all over the world.
(　　)32.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.

Ⅴ.[主旨大意] 作者讲述了自己参加班长竞选的经历：开始认为自己获胜的机会很大，最终却失败了。作者从中学会了面对失望，变得更强大了。
21．B　形容词词义辨析。此处指作者的担心，怕如果失败了，人们会对自己印象不好，afraid意为“害怕的”，符合语境。bored意为“无聊的”，excited意为“兴奋的”，hopeful意为“有希望的”，都不符合句意。
22．C　动词词义辨析。compare意为“比较”；remember意为“记住”；manage意为“努力完成”；repeat意为“重复”。由后面的“而是向我班的同学表明我为什么想成为班长”可知，作者的计划不是承诺一些自己不能做到的事情，故manage符合语境。
23．A　副词词义辨析。fully意为“充分地”；quickly意为“很快地”；freshly意为“刚刚”；physically意为“身体上地”。由后句“我感觉我赢的机会很大”可知，“我”进行了充分的准备，故fully符合语境。
24．D　动词词义辨析。fear意为“害怕”；face意为“面对”；mention意为“提到”；picture意为“设想”。由后句“几乎没有人在听”可知，当“我”在选举日做演讲的时候，同学们的反应与自己设想的不一样。
25．D　动词词义辨析。insist意为“坚持”；return意为“返回”；wait意为“等待”；win意为“获胜”。上一段描述了大家对竞选人的不同态度，所以此句意为“谁会获胜已经很明显了”。
26．B　名词词义辨析。suggestion意为“建议”；prediction意为“预测”；direction意为“方向”；introduction意为“介绍”。上一段是作者对竞选结果的猜测，所以本句意为“我的预测是正确的：我没有赢”。
27．A　动词词义辨析。forget意为“忘记”；write意为“写”；care意为“关注”；discuss意为“讨论”。由“第二天人们还谈论这次选举”以及“又像从前一样与我交谈”可推知，后来人们就忘记了这次选举。
28．C　名词词义辨析。trust意为“信任”；pride意为“骄傲”；character意为“毅力”；support意为“支持”。由后句“从此我学会了面对失望，变得更强大了”可知，那种失败的时刻磨炼了作者的毅力，
Ⅵ.29.D
30．A　根据第二段中“After graduating from Oxford University, Tim went to work at a science research centre in Switzerland. There he developed…become the Web.”可知A项正确。
31．B
32．D　这篇文章主要介绍了互联网之父Tim Berners Lee。
