The Internet is the biggest source of information in the world,and it’s accessible through a computer.It consists of millions of pages of data. In 1969,DARPA,a US defence organisation,developed a way for all their computers to “talk” to each other through the telephone.They created a network of computers called DARPANET.For fifteen years,only the US army could use this system of communication.Then in 1984,the US National Science Foundation (NSF) started the NSFNET network.It then became possible for universities to use the system as well. NSFNET became known as the Inter-Network,or “Internet”. The World Wide Web (the web) is a computer network that allows computer users to access information from millions of websites via the Internet...By 2020,much web traffic could be in Chinese. The World Wide Web was invented in 1991 by an English scientist,Tim Berners-Lee.Berners-Lee built his first computer while he was at university using an old television! He came up with the idea of the World Wide Web in 1989 while he was working in Switzerland. Berners-Lee made it possible for everyone to use the Internet,not just universities and the army.He designed the first “web browser”,which allowed computer users to access documents from other computers.From that moment on,the web and the Internet grew.Within five years,the number of Internet users rose from 600,000 to 40 million. 词汇积累 1.accessible / k ses bl/ adj.可进入的;可使用的 2.consist of由……组成 3.data / de t / n.(pl.)数据 4.defence /d fens/ n.保护,防御 5.create /kri e t/ vt.创造;发明 6.document / d kjum nt/ n.文件;公文;证件;文档 佳句背诵 1.It then became possible for universities to use the system as well.(it作形式主语) 然后,大学也可以使用该系统。 2.Berners-Lee made it possible for everyone to use the Internet,not just universities and the army.
