　　【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。
