Google is a company's name, but it has also grown into a verb that means, "to do an Internet search." Now everyone and their grandma know what it means to Google it. You know that you're doing something big when your company name becomes a verb.

Google wasn't the first company to invent their product. Lycos released their search engine in 1993. Yahoo! came out in 1994. AltaVista began serving results in 1995. Google did not come out until 1998. That is a major head start in the fast moving world of tech. So how did Google overtake（超过）their competitors who had such huge leads in time and money? Maybe one good idea made all the difference.

There are millions of sites on the Internet. How does a search engine know which ones are relevant to your search? This is a question that great minds have been working on for decades. To understand how Google changed the game, you need to know how search engines worked in 1998. Back then most websites looked at the words in your query（查询）.They counted how many times those words appeared on each page. Then they might return pages where the words in your query appeared the most. This system did not work well and people often had to click through pages of results to find what they wanted.

Google was the first search engine that began considering links. Links are those blue underlined words that take you to other pages when you click on them. Larry Page, cofounder of Google, believed that meaningful data could be drawn from how those links connect. He was right. Google's search results were much better than their rivals'（对手）.They would soon become the world's most used search engine.

It wasn't just the great search results that led to Google becoming so well liked. It also had to do with the way that they presented their product. The home pages of most other search engines were filled with all kinds of things. But Google's homepage was, and still is, clean. There's nothing on it but the logo, the search box, and a few links. In fact, when they were first testing it, users would wait at the home page and not do anything. When asked why, they said that they were "waiting for the rest of the page to load". But the fresh design grew on people once they got used to it.

These days Google has its hands in everything from self-driving cars to helping humans live longer. Though they have many other popular products, they will always be best known for their search engine. Not only is Google search engine a fantastic product, it is a standing example that one good idea（and a lot of hard work）can change the world.

【1】Which might be a reason why Google became so popular?

A.Google's homepage was clean.

B.Google's homepage loaded quickly.

C.Google provided a lot of information on their homepage.

D.Google counted the times of the words appeared in query.

【2】What is the author's purpose in writing this article?

A.To explain how Google overtook its rivals.

B.To compare Google and other search engines.

C.To persuade readers to use Google for Internet searches.

D.To discuss how companies can influence language over time.

【3】What is the main idea of the fourth paragraph?

A.Links allow people to surf from one website to the next.

B.Google is a website that serves important links to users.

C.Larry Page contributed to the Internet by inventing the link.

D.Larry Page's ideas about links helped Google get to the top.

【4】What is the best title for the passage?

A.A Short History of Search Engines

B.A Better Way: How Google Rose to the Top

C.Yahoo! vs Google: War of the Big Companies

D.How Search Engines Work and Why They're Important

People have used pigeons to carry messages to one another for hundreds of years. In the 12th century, the royal palaces of Iraq and Syria included pigeon houses so the kings could be kept informed of their generals’ victories and defeats on the battlefield. In fact, pigeons were a common way to send messages right up through World War II.

Many countries, such as the United States, England, France, Germany, and Italy, in both World War I and World War II, used carrier pigeons. Not only were the birds often the fastest, most reliable way to send messages, they could also be used to reach soldiers far behind enemy lines, where radios and field telephone lines were useless. Since they could easily be released (释放) from airplanes or ships, every branch of the armed services used the birds. In World War II, more than 3,000 soldiers and 150 officers were needed to care for and train the tens of thousands of birds in the U.S. Pigeon Service.

Carrying messages could be a dangerous job. Some pigeons performed with such bravery that they became famous and were even awarded medals, such as England’s Dicken Medal of Gallantry. In a few cases, pigeons even became prisoners of war. In 1918 American forces captured a pigeon named Kaiser, which had been trained to fly special missions for Germany during battle. He was taken to America, where he lived to the age of 32. The most famous pigeon of all may have been Cher Ami. Stationed in France during World War I, he carried twelve important messages for American forces. On his last mission, though wounded, he carried a message that saved the lives of 194 American soldiers. For his extraordinary service, he was awarded the French “Croix de Guerre.”

Carrier pigeons are a slightly different breed (品种) from the kind of pigeons you see on city streets. They are much thinner and taller, with longer legs. Many people find carrier pigeons ugly because of their big wattle, a bent buildup of skin on the beak（鸟嘴）; however, people who raise pigeons often enjoy this strange appearance and consider carriers the best of their breed.

Today, modern communication methods can carry information from one place to another hundreds of times faster than a pigeon could do. However, few people would argue with the fact that carrier pigeons—especially those that served in the military—have earned their place in history. Stories about brave pigeons such as Cher Ami, President Wilson, and Colonel’s Lady have the power to inspire us as no fax machine or high-speed Internet connection could ever do.

A.they could be believed in

B.they were easily raised

C.they could reach the enemy lines

D.they could hardly be found by airplanes

【2】Which is the best example to show the bravery of carrier pigeons?

A.Carrier pigeons could fly to places where radios and telephone lines were useless.

B.For his extraordinary service, Cher Ami was awarded the French “Croix de Guerre”.

C.In World War II, more than 3,000 soldiers were needed to care for and train the pigeons.

D.In the 12th century, kings in Iraq were kept informed of the victories and defeats by pigeons.

【3】From the passage, we can learn _________.

A.how carrier pigeons developed in history

B.how to train carrier pigeons to get victory

C.carrier pigeons played an important role in the wars in the old days

D.pigeons inspired soldiers to fight before high-speed Internet invented

24、Most animals on land are known to us, but many living things underwater are not. Now let’s get to know some of them.

Sea Cucumber

Sea cucumbers are strange animals living at the bottom of the sea. They wear brown or pale green coats with many sticks up. When summer comes, they stay deep to sleep because they are afraid of the heat. And when it is autumn, they move to shallow(浅的) water and get their food.
