18、age was at a brainstorming session at Stanford for a new massive data indexing website. Someone suggested “googolplex”one of the largest describable NUMBERS. Page shortened it to “googol.” When he later checked for the availability of the domain name, he made a mistake and typed in “google” instead.

19、 But he liked the name and registered it for himself and co-founder Sergey Brin.This luxury car maker combined elements from the Ford and Oldsmobile companies when it was started in 1902 and later became known for its innovation and high quality. The company was named for the French explorer Antoine

20、 Laumet de la Mothe Cadillac, who founded the city of Detroit in 1701.Company co-founder Gordon Bowker has said that while brainstorming names, someone brought out a map that featured the old mining town of Starbo. That may have led him to think of Starbuck, the first mate in Herman Melvilles famous

21、 novel, Moby Dick. Not only the company name but also the origin of its logo has aroused great curiosity.The inventor of Rolex, Hans Wilsdorf, was looking to make an elegant, yet precise, wristwatch. He wanted a name that was easy to say, worked in different languages, and looked good on the watches

22、. He settled on Rolex in 1908.36Which company name has a close relationship with literature?AGoogle. BCadillac.CStarbucks. DRolex.37Which of the following statements is True?AGoogle was adopted because “googol” was not available then.BCadillac was named after the founding father of the company.CStar

23、bucks was used due to the co-founders love for his town.DHans Wilsdorf intended Rolex to be universally accepted.If you could travel back in time five centuries, youd encounter a freshly painted “Mona Lisa” in Renaissance Europe and cooler temperatures across the Northern Hemisphere. This was a worl

24、d in the midst of the Little Ice Age and a period of vast European exploration now known as the Age of Discovery.But what if we could look 500 years into the future and glimpse the Earth of the 26th century? Would the world seem as different to us as the 21st century would have seemed to residents o

25、f the 16 century? For starters, what will the weather be like?Depending on whom you ask, the 26th century will either be a little chilly or extremely hot. Some solar output models suggest that by the 2500s, Earths climate will have cooled back down to near Little Ice Age conditions. Other studies pr

26、edict that ongoing climate change and fossil fuel use will leave much of the planet too hot for human life by 2300. Some experts date the beginning of human climate change back to the Industrial Revolution in the18oos, others to slash-and-burn agricultural practices in prehistoric times. Either way,

27、 tool-wielding humans alter their environment - and our 26th century tools might be quite impressive indeed.Theoretical physicist and futurist Michio Kaku predicts that in a mere 100 years, humanity will make the leap from a type zero civilization to a type I civilization on the Kardashev Scale. In

28、other words, well become a species that can use the entire sum of a planets energy, mastering clean energy technologies such as fusion and solar power. Furthermore, theyll be able to handle planetary energy in order to control global climate.Technology has improved significantly since the 1500s, and

29、 this pace will likely continue in the centuries to come. Physicist Stephen Hawking proposes that by the year 2600, this growth would see 10 new theoretical physics papers published every 10 seconds. If Moores Law holds true and both computer speed and complexity double every 18 months, then some of

30、 these studies may be the work of highly intelligent machines.What other technologies will shape the world of the 26th century? Futurist and author Adrian Berry believes the average human life span will reach 140 years and that the digital storage of human personalities will enable a computerized st

31、ate of living forever.

34、uld you describe your style? Formal? Classical? Casual? Smart? First of all, what is style? Lets hear a few words of wisdom from the wise. “Style is knowing who you are and what you want to say,” (Gore Vidal); “Style is an expression of individualism mixed with charm,” (John Fairchild); “Style is th

35、e perfection of a point of view,” (Robert Eberhart); “Style is a simple way of saying complicated things,” (Jean Cocteau); “Style is the dress of thoughts,” (Lord Chesterfield).So, now you know what style is, youll need to buy some clothes. But where? In the UK, you can get really cheap, stylish, se

36、cond-hand clothes at charity shops. Theyre great if you want exclusive labels but dont want to pay the price. The only difficulty is discovering where the really good bargains are. But dont worry, Leila Gray can help you here. Shes the proud owner of a vintage Hardy Amies coat, picked up at a charit

37、y shop for 20-a good deal when you realize it cost more than 800 new. “You have to go to the richer areas of a city,” she says. “Thats where all the labels are. It can take a bit of hunting around, but that is half the fun, and theres a lot of buried treasure just waiting to be discovered.”So, now y

38、ou know where to buy your new, stylish clothes, how do you acquire your style? Experts say that mixing and matching from charity shops can help you find your own style-something thats really you. Thats what Scottish musician Morus did. “My fashion tip is this,” he says, “Look at yourself with the ey

39、e of a graphic designer. If you cant be attractive, aim for interesting or original.” Momus unique style could even make him happier, too. As psychologist Marilyn Elias explains, the happiest people “judge themselves by their own yardsticks, never against what others do or have”.Shoichi Aoki, the fo

40、under of Japanese street style magazine FRUiTS, agrees. “I think real fashion is what people wear on the streets, the clothes that they wear, the way that they wear them,” he says. “What you see in fashion magazines and on models has been styled and its more commercial.” He says that his inspiration

41、 for FRUiTS came from people combining traditional Japanese clothing such as the kimono and “geta” (Japanese wooden clogs) with Western fashion. “This really caught my eye,” Aoki adds. These styles may seem wild, but Aokis idea is not: be bold, be creative and find something that suits you.Maybe its

42、 time to create your own look. There are many online guides to help you. Perhaps the best advice comes from a website called wikiHow, “If you see something you like,” it says, “feel free to copy, but dont make yourself a clone mix it up and make it yours.” Think about it!41What should you first do t

43、o choose they style that best suits you?AFollow the images of the wise people. BGo for whatever is fashionable.CSimplify complicated expressions.

Rowling is the author of the most successful book series in history, but her

46、 attempt to take on a new career as a screenwriter hasnt been as smooth as she may have thought it would be. The sequel(续篇), “Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald”, shows that even the most successful author in the world is in need of checks and balances when making the transition to cinema.F

47、ollowing the sale of half a billion copies of the Harry Potter series, Rowling is working hard to extend and enrich the mythology she created around the child wizard. In contrast to the eight Harry Potter movies, which were based on the seven books and most of which were written by experienced scree

48、nwriter Steve Kloves, the “Fantastic Beasts” series is scripted only by Rowling. This time she skipped the bookstores and went straight to the movie theater.The “Fantastic Beasts” series takes its title from one of Harry Potters textbooks. The leap backward in time, a new set of adult heroes and a g

49、lobe-spanning background show that Rowling is in tune with her fans and the spirit of the times. Harry Potter and his friends started out as a typical product of 1990s naivety, but since then the loyal veteran audience has experienced the shocks of the 21st century and grown mature and discouraged.

50、The “Fantastic Beasts” series feel less like childrens fare; they deal with adults and frightening events that occurred in Europe at the end of the 1920s.Its 1927, and the criminal Grindelwald has escaped from prison to Europe. The hero, Newt Scamander, a zoologist of fantastic beasts, prefers to di

51、stance himself from politics and maintain his improvised nature reserve in London. But the young Prof. Dumbledore reminds him that neutrality is not an option in hard times. Dumbledore urges him to cross the Channel to Paris and stop Grindelwald, who is trying to plot a war to ensure the purity of t

52、he wizard race.The rough outline of the plot constitutes only part of the movie. There are many other characters who appear in the mystery. I will mention the boy Credence who continues to have a central role in the struggle between the hero and the villain, even as his background remains a mystery.

53、 Similarly, Newts brother and partner, the snake-woman Nagini, and other new and old characters hint at an obscure past and future. Rowling populates her world with characters large and small, odd beasts and simplifies its story to lay the foundation work of the universe. The film lays strong founda

54、tions of mystery, but forgets to build any sort of structure above them. Its like a construction site where the budget ran out too fast.With movie screens full of superheroes and fantasy films, and every studio trying to float a fictional universe, Rowling is todays most creative builder of cinema w

55、orlds, but theres still a difference between her and a mega-corporation like Disney. Every character and beast is there because Rowling said so, not because the marketing division thought it would promote sales of merchandise. Rowling clearly has a true passion to create a mythology, and just as cle

56、arly, she hasnt yet finished creating it.The “Fantastic Beasts” series offers a world even fuller than that of Harry Potter. Once more she collaborates with David Yates, who directed the last four Harry Potter movies and now the two “Fantastic Beasts” pictures. Still, the world shes created would be even more wondrous if Rowling had only filled it out with a crystallized or at least coherent plot. In the
