Part A
Directions: Read the following four texts. Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D. (40 points)
John Battelle is Silicon Valley's Bob Woodward. One of the founders of Wired magazine, he has hung around Google for so long that he has come to be as close as any outsider can to actually being an insider. Certainly, Google's founders, Sergey Brin and Larry Page, and its chief executive, Eric Schmidt, believe that it is safer to talk to Mr. Battelle than not to do so.
The result is a highly readable account of Google's astonishing rise—the steepest in corporate history—from its origins in Stanford University to its controversial stockmarket debut and its current struggle to become a grown-up company while staying true to its youthfully brash motto, "Don't be evil". Mr. Battelle makes the reader warm to Google's ruling triumvirate—their cleverness and their good intentions—and fear for their future as they take on the world.
Google is one of the most interesting companies around at the moment. It has a decent shot at displacing Microsoft as the next great near-monopoly of the information age. Its ambition—to organise all the world's information, not just the information on the world wide web—is epic, and its commercial power is frightening, Beyond this, Google is interesting for the same reason that secretive dictatorships and Hollywood celebrities are interesting for being opaque, colourful and, simply, itself.
The book disappoints only when Mr. Battelle begins trying to explain the wider relevance of internet search and its possible future development. There is a lot to say on this subject, but Mr. Battelle is hurried and overly chatty, producing laundry lists of geeky concepts without really having thought any of them through properly. This is not a fatal flaw. Read only the middle chapters, and you have a great book.
The phrase "warm to" in the last sentence of the second paragraph most probably means ______.
A．become evaporated through
B．be fed up with
C．be heated to
D．become more interested in
Questions 61-65 are based on Passage Two:
Passage Two
I am Sergey Brin !I was born in Moscow． In 1979,when I was 5,my family immigratedto the U． S． A． , California． I remember that on my 9th birthday I got my first computer “Commodore 64”．
Later I graduated with honors in the University of Maryland in Mathematics and IT． The main field of my science research was the technologies used to collect data from unsystematic sources as well as large quantities of texts and science data． I was the author of dozens of articles in leading American academic magazines．
The greatest event in my life happened in 1998 when I was preparing for the defense(论文答辩) of my Doctor's degree in Stanford University． There the fate made me meet Larry Page-a young computer genius． Larry belonged to the inteilectual（知识分子）society．Larry and I quickly became friends when we worked together．
We were searching day and night on the Internet． We were finding a lot of information but with the feeling we still couldn't find enough of what we were looking for． Naturally the idea for a search engine that would allow specific information to be found in the endless pool of data was born like it came to us． It wasn't our plans but we gave up the education at the university． You know the next part,maybe-we managed to turn an ordinary garage in Meplo Park,California,the U． S． A． into our first of．fice,in which Google was born． With excitement we typed the name of the thing which we created with love on September 14th, 1998—www． Google． com． Now,after those years we bought this garage． As a symbol it will always remind us that everything is possible．
Which of the following would be the best title for this passage？ ()
A． The Birth of Google
B． The Founder of Google
C． The Importance of Cooperation
D． The Great Contribution to the Internet

HOW GOOGLE CONTINUES TO KEEP EMPLOYEES HAPPY
Working for Google is a dream of many, not just because of what this company has achieved in the last 15 years, but because of its enviable work culture. With about 37,000 employees in 40 countries, you might wonder how Google maintains a motivating work experience throughout its entire company.
Working for Google comes with perks that most other organizations can't provide -- bowling alleys, free haircuts, gym memberships, and shuttles to and from work. The company's secret to success is putting the same amount of time and effort into keeping employees happy as it does into innovating products.
Back when the company was just a start-up, co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin had the goal of making Google a place the most talented people wanted to work at. Their idea was simple: creating a work culture that keeps employees happy will motivate them to do their best and will keep them loyal to the company.
“It's less about the aspiration to be No. 1 in the world, and more that we want our employees and future ones to love it here, because that's what's going to make us successful,” said Karen May, the Vice President of people development at Google.
Google also makes its employees want to work because managers provide tasks that are inspiring and challenging. Every employee at Google has the opportunity to spend 20% of his or her working time on a project they choose. This freedom takes employees out of their routine and away from the mundane tasks that often make workers feel uninspired about their jobs.
Lastly, Google shows each employee just how important he or she is to the company. Each employee, regardless of her spot on the totem pole, has an influence on how Google performs.
“If you value people, and care about them as whole people, one thing you do is giving them a voice, and you really listen,” May said.
Google does just that by hosting employee forums every Friday, where they discuss the 20 most-asked questions. Employees have access to all company information, adding a sense of trust, and employees and leaders work together to solve problems.

Google was vastly better than anything that had come before: so much better, in fact, that it changed the way many people use the web. Almost overnight, it made the web far more useful, particularly for nonspecialist users, many of whom now regard Google as the internet's front door. The recent fuss over Google's stock market flotation obscures its far wider social significance: few technologies, after all, are so influential that their names become used as verbs.
Google began in 1998 as an academic research project by Sergey Brin and Lawrence Page, who were then graduate students at Stanford University in Palo Alto, California. It was not the first search engine, of course. Existing search engines were able to scan or "crawl" a large portion of the web, build an index, and then find pages that matched particular words. But they were less good at presenting those pages, which might number in the hundreds of thousands, in a useful way.
Mr Brin's and Mr Page's accomplishment was to devise a way to sort the results by determining which pages were likely to be most relevant. They did so using a mathematical recipe, or algorithm, called PageRank. This algorithm is at the heart of Google's success, distinguishing it from all previous search engines and accounting for its apparently magical ability to find the most useful web pages.
Untangling the web
PageRank works by analysing the structure of the web itself. Each of its billions of pages can link to other pages, and can also, in turn, be linked to. Mr Brin and Mr Page reasoned that if a page was linked to many other pages, it was likely to be important. Furthermore, if the pages that linked to a page were important, then that page was even more likely to be important. There is, of course, an inherent circularity to this formula--the importance of one page depends on the importance of pages that link to it, the importance of which depends in turn on the importance of pages that link to them. But using some mathematical tricks, this circularity can be resolved, and each page can be given a score that reflects its importance.
The simplest way to calculate the score for each page is to perform. a repeating or "iterative" calculation (see article). To start with, all pages are given the same score. Then each link from one page to another is counted as a "vote" for the destination page. Each page's score is recalculated by adding up the contribution from each incoming link, which is simply the score of the linking page divided by the number of outgoing links on that page. (Each page's score is thus shared out among the pages it links to.)
Once all the scores have been recalculated, the process is repeated using the new scores, until the scores settle down and stop changing (in mathematical jargon, the calculation "converges"). The final scores can then be used to rank search results: pages that match a particular-set of search terms are displayed in order of descending score, so that the page deemed most important appears at the top of the list.
We can infer from the 1st paragragh that by "hit-or-miss" it is meant ______.
A．before Google, searching online was impossible
B．before Google, searching online lacked accuracy
C．before Google, searching online was difficult
D．Google is easy to use
Ms Byron is one of 419 students (out of 8,744 who applied) who were accepted for Google's "summer of code". While it sounds like a hyper-nerdy summer camp, the students neither went to Google's campus in Mountain View, California, nor to wherever their mentors at the 41 participating open-source projects happened to be located. Instead, Google acted as a matchmaker and sponsor. Each of the participating open-source projects received $500 for every student it took on; and each student received $4,500 ($500 right away, and $4,000 on completion of their work). Oh, and a T-shirt.
All of this is the idea of Chris DiBona, Google's open-source boss, who was brainstorming with Larry Page and Sergey Brin, Google's founders, last year. They realised that a lot of programming talent goes to waste every summer because students take summer jobs flipping burgers to make money, and let their coding skills degrade. "We want to make it better for students in the summer", says Mr. DiBona, adding that it also helps the open- source community and thus, indirectly, Google, which uses lots of open-source software behind the scenes. Plus, says Mr. DiBona, "it does become an opportunity for recruiting".
Elliot Cohen, a student at Berkeley, spent his summer writing a "Bayesian network toolbox" for Python, an open-source programming language. "I'm a pretty big fan of Google", he says. He has an interview scheduled with Microsoft, but "Google is the only big company that I would work at", he says. And if that doesn't work out, he now knows people in the open-source community, "and it's a lot less intimidating".
Ms Byron's comment on her own summer experiment is ______.
A．negative
B．biased
C．puzzling
D．enthusiastic
