15．"How many common English words were invented by Shakespeare？"
　　How long did it take people to find the answer to this question 15 years ago？And now!you can google it and find the answer immediately!
　　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（引擎） 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 for $100，000，and they started their own company．Their first office was in a friend's garage．The company's name is Google，a word which comes from mathematics．A"google"is a very high number----1 followed by a hundred zeros．
　　The google search engine was soon used by thousands of people worldwide because it was fast，easy and correct．By 2002 it was the biggest search engine on the Internet．Now，more questions have been answered by Google than any other Internet service，from sport 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．

48．答案：B．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第五段"Nobody would give them money for their project，so they used their own money．They also borrowed money from family and friends．"沒有人會給他們項目錢，所以他們用自己的錢．他們還向家人和朋友借了錢．可知，只能從家人和朋友那里借錢，故選B．

11．The Internet nowadays opens a wide world to people，including teenagers，but many parents worry that their children may meet with something unhealthy when searching online．In order to solve this problem，a new search engine for children called Kiddle has appeared．
Search results are filtered（過濾），so only safe website are shown and descriptions are written in simple language．Searches with bad words are shut off，too．
Kiddles uses the same colors as Google in its logo and a similar design on its homepage，too--with an extra robot picture．
The top three Kiddle search results show safe websites and pages written specially for kids，and those websites and pages are well chosen and checked by Kiddle developers．
The fourth to seventh results will be safe and trusted websites that are not written for adults．They provide expert content，but are harder for kids to understand．
Unlike on Google，most results appear along with large thumbnail pictures（縮略圖）to make it easier for children to find what they are looking for．For example，when searching for"meow meow"．Google produces pages for information about a drug（毒品）that has"meow meow"as its nickname（綽號），but Kiddle lists information only about cats，even with some cartoon pictures．
The company explained，"Websites which appear in Kiddle search results satisfy family-friendly requirements，as we filter websites with unhealthy content．"
Kiddle-a Child-Friendly Search Engine
Characteristics•Only safe websites are shown．
•Descriptions are written in simple language．
•（36）Few bad words appear．
LogoIt uses the same colors as Google with a robot picture．
ContentThe top three search resultsWebsites and pages are written （37）specially for kids，after being well chosen and checked．
The fourth to seventh resultsWebsites are also worth （38）trusting and have content written in a simple way．
The eighth and onwards resultsWebsites are safe and famous，written for adults，and they are not （39）easy for kids to understand．
（40）Difference from Google•Kiddle has many thumbnail pictures．
•Kiddle only gives safe information．
AdvantageKiddle satisfies family-friendly requirements．
