【正确答案】:
B
【本题分数】:
1.0分
【答案解析】
态度题。
由题干定位至第一段。
第二句指出“Sincethen,Googlehasburnisheditsreputationasoneofthequirkiestcompaniesontheplanet.”,题干中的unconventionality是对oneofthequirkiestcompanies的解释,而句中的burnish意为“使光亮”,burnishitsreputation指对它的声誉有助益,可见作者认为谷歌的标新立异是好事,故[B]为答案。
disapproval表示否定,与原文相悖,排除:
neutral意为“中立的”,burnish本身这个词就具有正面意义,显然作者是有倾向性的,排除[C];ambiguous意为“含糊的,模棱两可的”,这与原文矛盾,排除。
第2题Theword"behemoth"
inthesecondparagraphprobablymeansA
colossus.B
corporation.C
pioneer.D
leader.
【正确答案】:
A
【本题分数】:
1.0分
【答案解析】
语义题。
由题干定位至第二段第二句“Thishasproducedhandsomereturnsforthefirm’sinvestors,whohaveseenthecompanytransformitselfinthespaceofamere12yearsfromatinystart-upintoabehemothwitha$180billionmarketcapitalization…”,从句中的handsomereturns可以看出谷歌公司投资人的回报极高,而高额利润带来的结果是从atinystart-up变成behemoth。
显然这里说的是公司规模,刚开始是一间小小的新公司,12年间就已成长为一家大公司,colossus意为“巨物,大物”,与tiny属于反义同现,故[A]为答案。
是否为corporation与公司大小无关,显然[B]不符合此处语义衔接关系;这里谈的是公司规模问题,不是公司的行业地位和经营理念,排除[C]和[D]。
第3题GoogledidallthefollowingEXCEPTAacquiringdifferent
companies.Bdevelopingsoftware
applications.Cactivelyprobingintonew
industries.DsettingfootinvariousInternet
areas.
【正确答案】:
C
【本题分数】:
1.0分
【答案解析】
细节题。
第二段末和第三段介绍了Google公司是如何快速发展的,无论是拓展经营渠道,还是兼并其他公司,都是在互联网领域进行的,没有涉及其他行业,[C]不符合文意,故为答案。
第四段首句指出“Muchofitsgrowthhasbeenorganic,butGooglehasalsosplashedoutonsonlesizeableacquisitions.”,之后具体介绍了兼并YouTube,DoubleClick的例子,[A]符合文意;第二段末句指出“Googlealsostretchesacrosstheweblikeagiantspider,withalegineverythingfromonlinesearchande-mailtosocialnetworkingandweb-basedsoftwareapplications,orapps.”,[D]是对该句的总结,而[B]则是其中提到的部分内容。
第4题ThefutureofGoogleisexpectedtobeA

【正确答案】:
A
【本题分数】:
1.0分
