“How many common English words were invented by Shakespeare?”

How long did it take people to find the answer to this question 25 years ago? And now! You can google it and find the answer!

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 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 (支票) for $100,000, and they started their own company with the money. Their first office was in a friend’s garage (车库). The company’s name is Google, a word which comes from math. A “google” is a very high number—I followed by a hundred zeros.

The google search engine was soon used by thousands of people around the world because it was fast, easy and correct. By 2002 it was the biggest search engine on the Internet. Now, Google has answered more questions than any other Internet service, from sports 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.

24. Why did the writer begin this passage by asking you a question?

A. Because he or she liked to begin this passage by asking readers a question.

B. Because he or she was afraid that the readers didn’t know this question.

C. Because he or she wanted to make the readers interested in this passage.

D. Because Shakespeare is one of the most famous people in the world.

25. From the passage we know that ______.

A. there was not any search engines on the Internet before 1996.

B. in 1996, Larry Page and Sergey Brin started their own company.

C. the google search engine was the biggest one in 1998.

D. the google search engine is very popular now.

26. The passage mainly tells us ______.[来源:学_科_网Z_X_X_K]

A. the development of the Google search engine

B. about Larry Page and Sergey Brin.

C. how to find information on the Internet.

D. bow to use the Google search engine.

Did you see snow in your hometown last winter? Did you feel it was warmer than before? “There have been 21 warm winters in China since(自从)1986,” said scientists. They also said that in the past 100 years, as the global(全球的)temperatures went up by 0.741C, the temperature in North China has climbed 1,4°C in only 50 years.

China needs to take quick action to cut carbon dioxide emission (二氧化碳排放), because it’s the main reason for global warming. The good news is that China has seen the importance of going green. China set the goal of cutting energy use by 20% and pollution emission by 10% in the 11th Five-Year Plan.

Can you slow down global warming? Sure! You and your family can take steps to cut the amount of carbon dioxide that is sent out into the air.

Here are some pieces of advice to help you save the earth.
