Several days ago, I went to my aunt's home and saw my cousin who was studying English linguistics in a college. He showed me his learning materials. Here are two pages of it.

1999 was a significant year in the world. In February, Nelson Mandela was set free after 27 years in prison（入狱）. In October, East 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.

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 center in Switzerland. There he developed some of the different systems that would later became the Web. The first was HTML, the computer language used to make web pages. The second was an address system that let computers anywhere find each other and send and receive information. In 1990, while still at the science center in Switzerland, he puts them together to make the first Internet browser（浏览器）. It could run on any computer and allowed people to create website to share their information with the rest of the world.

Tim knew that the more people use 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 people were interested and the growth of Internet began.

Today, Tim works as a professor at the MIT in America, researching new and interesting ways to use the Web. He has received many awards from the government and organizations 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 that few people outside the world of technology know his name.

44. The underlined word “significant” (in Paragraph 1) most probably means “__________”.

A. strange   B. terrible          C. important     D. difficult

45. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

A. The address system was used to make web pages.

B. The World Wide Web was created in Switzerland.

C. The first web browser was very expensive to buy.

D. Many people could use the Internet before 1990.

46. 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.

C

The Darlings decided to adopt the lost boys. They wanted to adopt Peter as well, but he refused. Peter knew that what would happen if he were adopted. They would make him go to school and work hard. Then he'd have to get a job and get married. He'd heard all of the stories. That life was not interesting to him.

“I am going to go back to Neverland”, said Peter. “I’ll live with Tinker Bell in the house that we built for Wendy.” Mrs darling saw that Wendy wanted to go. So he made a wise offer. “Wendy may come and visit you once a year, she can do the spring cleaning,” That made Peter happy again.

All the lost boys went to school. Soon they lost power to fly, then they stopped believing that they had ever been to Neverland.

At the end of the first year, Peter came back. Wendy looked forward to talking to him about the old times. But Peter had bad new adventures. He seemed to have forgotten the old ones. “Don't you remember Captain Hook?” She asked. “I never remember my old adventures” he said. “I forget them as soon as I have new ones.” this was very hard for Wendy. Those adventures had meant so much to her. And Peter had forgotten them. But she went with him back to Neverland and had a wonderful time.

The next year, Peter didn't come. He did come the year after that, though. Even though she didn't want to, Wendy grew up. She became very busy at school. She made new friends. As the years passed, her memories of Neverland grew dim. She started to doubt if she had ever been there. That was about the time that she became an adult. She met a nice one and got married. Then one day she had a baby girl. She named her Jane.

One warm, spring night, Jane was asleep in her bed. Wendy was in the other room mending socks. Suddenly, she heard a noise. The window blew open, and in flew Peter Pan! He was still a boy! “Hello, Wendy” said Peter. “Have you forgotten? It's spring-cleaning time”

“I can’t come,” she said softly, “I'm an adult now. I grew up long time ago.” He sat down on the floor and began to cry. His sobs woke Jake. Jane rubbed her eyes. “Boy,” she said, “Why are you crying?” And so the story began again.

Wendy’s doctor went to Neverland and came back again. And when Jane grew up she had a daughter as well. And she went off to that beautiful world. Wendy Darling lived a long time ago. Ever since that time, Peter Pan has always had a mother. And so he always will. As long as there are children who believe in Neverland.

47. Put the sentences in correct order.

① The boys lost power to fly.

② Wendy was sad because Peter forgot their old adventures.

③ Jane went to Neverland with Peter.

④ Wendy went with Peter back to Neverland and had wonderful time.

    A. ④②①③       B. ④①③②        C. ①②④③       D. ①②③④

48. Why Peter refuse to be adopted.

A. Peter had his own father and mother in Neverland.

B. Peter didn’t want to live with the other lost boys.

C. He missed the house that they built for Wendy in Neverland.

D. The life wasn’t interesting to him.

49. From the passage we know that __________

A. The Darlings are rich enough to adopt the lost boys.

B. Wendy didn’t miss Neverland because she had grown up.

C. The other boys lost their memories of Neverland.

D. Peter began to cry because Wendy forgot him.

50. If you want to find the book Peter Pan in a bookshop, in which category can you find it?

    A. Travel         B. Novel（小说）        C. Culture        D. Science
