阅读短文,判断正(T)误(F)。
The first computers were very big. They were the size of a room! They were so big that people didn't put them at home. Early computers could only do simple maths, like a calculator. In the 1930s, Alan Turing had the idea for a computer that people could programme to do different things.
In 1958, Jack Kilby invented the microchip. Microchips were very small. They helped computers get smaller. In the 1970s, computers were smaller and cheaper, so people started to use them at home. In the 1980s, computer games were very popular. Many people bought computers just to play games.
In 1989, Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web. It could organize information on the internet. From then on, people from all over the world could easily look for and share information on the internet.
With so many people's efforts, we can now use computers to do almost anything. They help make our lives more convenient and colourful.

解析:
【分析】做这类判断正误题,需先通读短文把握大意,再逐题定位到短文对应内容,对比题干与原文表述是否一致,从而判断对错。
【解析】1. 定位短文第一段:“In the 1930s, Alan Turing had the idea for a computer that people could programme to do different things.”可知20世纪30年代后电脑才可编程完成不同任务,之前仅能做简单计算,题干表述与原文不符,故为F。2. 定位短文第二段:“In 1958, Jack Kilby invented the microchip.”可知他发明的是微芯片而非电脑,题干表述错误,故为F。3. 定位短文第二段:“In the 1970s, computers were smaller and cheaper, so people started to use them at home.”与题干表述一致,故为T。4. 定位短文第二段:“In the 1980s, computer games were very popular. Many people bought computers just to play games.”可知20世纪80年代人们买电脑是为了玩游戏,而非做简单数学题,题干表述错误,故为F。5. 定位短文第三段:“In 1989, Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web. ... people from all over the world could easily look for and share information on the internet.”与题干表述一致,故为T。
【答案】1.F 2.F 3.T 4.F 5.T
