2、AfterGooglemodifiedthealgorithms,manysmallfirmsthatadopteditssearch

formulas.

A、enteredadesperatefuture

B、transferredadifferentattitudeonGoogle

C、droppedtothecompetitionofInternet

D、obtainedpredominanceintherankings

标准答案：A

知识点解析：根据题干中的after容易判断出，but?后的内容应该是答案之所在。

原文中的droptotheInternet'sequivalentofHades采用了比喻的修辞手法(Hades冥

王哈迪斯)，其意思是“跌入网络的地狱”，而选项A的意思与其相近。所以，本题

答案为A。

3、AccordingtoPrivacyInternationalinLondon,whichwordcandescribeGoogle's

attitudetoprivacyexactly?

A、Confusing.

Adorable.

C、Hypocritical.

D、Indifferent.

标准答案：C

知识点解析：原文中出现了两个most,并旦其后的形容词blatant和benign存在对

立的意味，再根据hostile和ambivalent可以推断出Google在隐私这个问题上存在

两面派作风。因此，选项CHypocritical"伪善的”是正确答案。值得一提的是，对

于选项A,因为题干问及的是“根据PrivacyInternational"，而confusing”令人困惑

的“未表现出强烈的倾向性，还不足以作为PrivacyInternational指责Google的理

由，故A不能选。所以，本题答案为C。

4、TheauthorofabookonGoogleandanearlyadmirerJohnBattellethinksthat

A、hebecomesmorewaryduetoGoogle

B、Googlemakesmanyusersuneasy

C^hepersistsinsupportingGoogle

D、Googlecontrolsonesource

标准答案：B

知识点解析：本题十分容易定位，但解题的关键在于弄清整句话表达的意思。句中

的bewaryof的意思是“提防"，outof的意思是“由于根据原文提到的“约翰・巴特

利越来越提防谷歌“，再加上speakingformany（可理解为“代表着许多用户的意见”）

可知，选项B正是对该句的同义转述：而选项C中的persistin是“坚持，一如既

往”的意思，这与原文约翰・巴特利的担忧不相符，故错误。所以，本题答案为B。

5、TherivalsYahoo!andMicrosoftarecorrespondingto.

A、GoogleandMicrosoft

B、Googleandbanks

C^Microsoftandbanks

D、repositoriesandguardians

标准答案：B

知识点解析：本题十分容易定位。题干中的becorrespondingto的意思是“对应

于“。从该段第二句容易看出，financialinstitutions和Google的功能类似，均起管

理个人信息的作用。而banks属于financialinstitutions。所以，本题答案为B。

6、Google'sassertionofitsownholiness.

A^bringsaboutsourgrapcsrivals*scorn

B、isabletoreceiveunquestioningtrust

C^makesmanyfirmsdisgusted

D、attractsthesupportofmanyfirmsexceptsourgrapcsrivals

标准答案：c

知识点0析：本题十分容易定位。原文中的putoff的意思是“使厌恶”，这与选项C

中make...disgusted属于同义转述，故正确。原文中的asif的意思是“似乎，好

像”，表示并非真实的情况，因此，选项B错误。所以，本题答案为C。

7、Whatdothetwosetsof"public"and"private"argumentsshow?

ANGoogleisthesameasanyothercompanyaimingatmoney.

B、Google'spropagandaisdifferentfromanyothercompany.

C^Googleexcelsanyother"evil"companyingrabbingmoney.

D、Googleisregardedasanevilcompany.

标准答案：A

知识点解析：原文中。nbothcounts的意思是“基于这两点”。它作为总结性的连接

词，其后正是答案之所在，但解题关键是要正确理解这句话的意思。muchbelter作

为副词修饰谓语动词bejudgedas。选项A中aimatmoney的意思是“以金钱为目

标”，与原文中的money-grabbing意思相近；另外thesameas与原文中的belike属

于同义转述。所以，本题答案为A。

8、WhatlargelygivesrisetoGoogle's"goodness11?

A、AdamSmith'seconomictheories.

B、Googleaimsatbenefitingthesociety.

C、AusefulserviceGoogleprovides.

D、Googlemakesprofitsforitself.

标准答案：D

知识点解析：题干中的giveriseto的意思是“造成，导致”，表结果。而原文中的

stemfrom“源于”，其后接原因、再根据题干中的largely和原文中比较级less,可以

确定答案应该与AdamSmith'sinvisiblehand有关。选项A过于宽泛，故错误。选

项B实际上是对文中corporatealtruism的同义转述，故错误。结合该段第一句中

comefrom...,not...可知，AdamSmith'sinvisiblehand的含义正好与corporateal:rui

9、GooglecanoverwhelminglyenterothermarketslikeMicrosoftbymeansofits

标准答案：dominance

知识点解析：题干中的overwhelminglyenter与原文中muscleinto“硬挤进”意思相

近；由于题干中bymeans。『凭借”是原文use的同义转述，故use后的内容即为要

填入的内容。所以，空格处应填入dominance。

10、IfGoogleassuresprivacybydestroyinguserdata,thiswouldnegativelyinfluence

its.

标准答案：profitsandservices

知识点解析：题干中的Googleassuresprivacybydestroyinguserdata是对该段第三

句和第四句前半句的简叱改写。而题干中negalivelyinfluence与原文中的limit以及

make...lessuseful意思相近,故limit和make的宾语就是本题的答案。所以，空格

处应填入profitsandserviceso

11、IfmoreofGoogle'sprocessesandplansareinspectedpreciously,thiscanenhance

its.

标准答案：trustworthiness

知识点解析：题干中的moreofGoogle'sprocessesandplansareinspectedpreciously

是对原文openingupmoreofitsprocessesandplanstoscrutiny的同义转述。原文中

提到allayconcernsoverGoogle'strustworthiness”减少人们对谷歌可信度的忧虑”，

反过来说就是“提高谷歌的可信度所以，空格处应填入trustworthiness。
