　　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•布林共同創建．在建立谷歌時，沒有人幫助他們，后來他們向朋友和親戚借錢，才創辦了谷歌．現在從體育到科學，從音樂到醫藥等很多信息都可以在谷歌上查找．它會給你想要知道的很多東西．

解答 46．答案：C．細節理解題．根據第二段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年前人們花了多長時間找到這個問題的答案？現在！你可以谷歌一下，馬上找到答案！可知，這是一種寫作手法，主要是通過問問題來引起讀者的興趣，故選C．
47．答案：D．詞意猜測題．根據上文"They also borrowed money from family and friends．"他們還借錢給家人和朋友．和下文"$100，000，and they started their own company．"10萬美元，他們開始自己的公司．可知此單詞與錢有關，應該是"支票"，選D．
48．答案：B．細節理解題．根據第五段"Nobody would give them money for their project，so they used their own money．They also borrowed money from family and friends．"沒有人會給他們項目錢，所以他們用自己的錢．他們還向家人和朋友借了錢．可知，只能從家人和朋友那里借錢，故選B．
49．答案：C．細節理解題． 根據第五段第二行"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，來自數學．"谷歌"是一個非常高的數字--1后面跟一百個零．可知C選項"拉里•佩奇和謝爾蓋•布林命名為谷歌之后跟100個零"不正確．選C．
50．答案：A．主旨大意題．根據最后一段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，它成為了互聯網上最大的搜索引擎，現在谷歌回答的問題比其他任何互聯網服務都多．及短文大意．可知主要介紹世界上最大的搜索引擎-谷歌的發展．選A．
