William Henry Gates is American business executive, who serves as chairman and chief software architect of Microsoft Corporation, the leading computer software company in the United States. Gates cofounded (共同创立) Microsoft in 1975 with high school friend Paul Allen. The company’s success made Gates one of the most influential figures in the computer industry and, eventually, one of the richest people in the world.
Born in Seattle, Washington, Gates attended public school through the sixth grade. In the seventh grade he entered Seattle’s exclusive Lakeside School, where he met Allen. Gates was first introduced to computers and programming languages in 1968, when he was in the eighth grade. That year lakeside bought a teletype machine (电传打字机) that connected to a mainframe computer over phone lines, At the time, the school was one of the few that provided students with access to a computer.
Soon afterward, Gates, Allen, and other students convinced a local computer company to give them free access to a new minicomputer made by Digital Equipment Corporation. In exchange for the computer time, the students tried to find flaws in the system. Gates spent much of his free time on BASIC, Fortran, and LISP. In 1972 Gates and Allen founded Traf-O-Data, a company that designed and built computerized car-counting machines for traffic analysis. The project introduced them to the programmable 8008 microprocessor from Intel Corporation.
While attending Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in 1975, Gates teamed with Allen to develop a version of the BASIC programming language for the Altair 8800, the first personal computer. They licensed the software to the manufacturer of the Altair, Micro Instrumentation and Telemetry Systems (MITS), and formed Microsoft (originally Micro-soft) to develop versions of BASIC for other computer companies. Gates decided to drop out of Harvard in his junior year to devote his time to Microsoft. In 1980 Microsoft dosed an essential deal with International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) to provide the operating system for the IBM PC personal computer. As part of the deal, Microsoft retained the right to license the operating system to other companies, The success of the IBM PC made the operating system, MS-DOS, an industry standard. Microsoft’s revenues increased rapidly as other computer makers licensed MS-DOS and demand for personal computers surged. In 1986 Microsoft offered its stock to the public; by 1987 rapid appreciation of the stock had made Gates, 31, the youngest ever self-made billionaire. [br] Who founded Microsoft?
选项
A、Gates and his high school friend Paul Allen.
B、Bill Gates.
C、Gates, Allen and some other students.
D、Paul Allen.
答案
A
解析
文章第一段中说到“Gates cofounded Microsoft in 1975 with high school friend Paul Allen.”告诉我们,比尔盖茨与他的朋友保罗共同创建的微软。因此,本题选择A。C是个干扰项,因为后面文章第三段提到“Gates,Allen,and other students convinced a local computer company to give them free access to a new minicomputer made by Digital Equipment Corporation.”
