15．"How many common English words were invented by Shakespeare？"
　　How long did it take people to find the answer to this question 15 years ago？And now!you can google it and find the answer immediately!
　　Google is the most popular Internet search engine in the world．It was invented by two students，Larry Page and Sergey Brin．They met in 1993，when they were studying computer science at Stanford University，USA．They dreamed of producing something that could also answer any question in seconds．
　　Internet search engines（引擎） at that time were slow and gave many websites that weren't useful．In January 1996，Page and Brin decided to make a better and faster search engine．They thought the results should be based on the most popular websites．
　　Nobody would give them money for their project，so they used their own money．They also borrowed money from family and friends．Then，in 1998，they were given a cheque for $100，000，and they started their own company．Their first office was in a friend's garage．The company's name is Google，a word which comes from mathematics．A"google"is a very high number----1 followed by a hundred zeros．
　　The google search engine was soon used by thousands of people worldwide because it was fast，easy and correct．By 2002 it was the biggest search engine on the Internet．Now，more questions have been answered by Google than any other Internet service，from sport to science，and from music to medicine．Google hopes that in the future all the world's information will be put on the Internet，so that everybody can find everything．

分析 文章大意：這是一篇說(shuō)明文．主要介紹世界上最大的搜索引擎-谷歌．它是由拉里•佩奇和謝爾蓋•布林共同創(chuàng)建．在建立谷歌時(shí)，沒(méi)有人幫助他們，后來(lái)他們向朋友和親戚借錢(qián)，才創(chuàng)辦了谷歌．現(xiàn)在從體育到科學(xué)，從音樂(lè)到醫(yī)藥等很多信息都可以在谷歌上查找．它會(huì)給你想要知道的很多東西．

解答 46．答案：C．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第二段How long did it take people to find the answer to this question 15 years ago？And now!you can google it and find the answer immediately!15年前人們花了多長(zhǎng)時(shí)間找到這個(gè)問(wèn)題的答案？現(xiàn)在！你可以谷歌一下，馬上找到答案！可知，這是一種寫(xiě)作手法，主要是通過(guò)問(wèn)問(wèn)題來(lái)引起讀者的興趣，故選C．
47．答案：D．詞意猜測(cè)題．根據(jù)上文"They also borrowed money from family and friends．"他們還借錢(qián)給家人和朋友．和下文"$100，000，and they started their own company．"10萬(wàn)美元，他們開(kāi)始自己的公司．可知此單詞與錢(qián)有關(guān)，應(yīng)該是"支票"，選D．
48．答案：B．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第五段"Nobody would give them money for their project，so they used their own money．They also borrowed money from family and friends．"沒(méi)有人會(huì)給他們項(xiàng)目錢(qián)，所以他們用自己的錢(qián)．他們還向家人和朋友借了錢(qián)．可知，只能從家人和朋友那里借錢(qián)，故選B．
49．答案：C．細(xì)節(jié)理解題． 根據(jù)第五段第二行"The company's name is Google，a word which comes from mathematics．A"google"is a very high number----1 followed by a hundred zeros．"公司的名字是谷歌，來(lái)自數(shù)學(xué)．"谷歌"是一個(gè)非常高的數(shù)字--1后面跟一百個(gè)零．可知C選項(xiàng)"拉里•佩奇和謝爾蓋•布林命名為谷歌之后跟100個(gè)零"不正確．選C．
50．答案：A．主旨大意題．根據(jù)最后一段By 2002 it was the biggest search engine on the Internet．Now，more questions have been answered by Google than any other Internet service到了2002，它成為了互聯(lián)網(wǎng)上最大的搜索引擎，現(xiàn)在谷歌回答的問(wèn)題比其他任何互聯(lián)網(wǎng)服務(wù)都多．及短文大意．可知主要介紹世界上最大的搜索引擎-谷歌的發(fā)展．選A．

11．The Internet nowadays opens a wide world to people，including teenagers，but many parents worry that their children may meet with something unhealthy when searching online．In order to solve this problem，a new search engine for children called Kiddle has appeared．
Search results are filtered（過(guò)濾），so only safe website are shown and descriptions are written in simple language．Searches with bad words are shut off，too．
Kiddles uses the same colors as Google in its logo and a similar design on its homepage，too--with an extra robot picture．
The top three Kiddle search results show safe websites and pages written specially for kids，and those websites and pages are well chosen and checked by Kiddle developers．
The fourth to seventh results will be safe and trusted websites that are not written for adults．They provide expert content，but are harder for kids to understand．
Unlike on Google，most results appear along with large thumbnail pictures（縮略圖）to make it easier for children to find what they are looking for．For example，when searching for"meow meow"．Google produces pages for information about a drug（毒品）that has"meow meow"as its nickname（綽號(hào)），but Kiddle lists information only about cats，even with some cartoon pictures．
The company explained，"Websites which appear in Kiddle search results satisfy family-friendly requirements，as we filter websites with unhealthy content．"
Kiddle-a Child-Friendly Search Engine
Characteristics•Only safe websites are shown．
•Descriptions are written in simple language．
•（36）Few bad words appear．
