I am Sergey Brin! I was born in Moscow. In 1979,when I was 5, my family immigrated to California, USA . I remember that on my 9th birthday, I got my first computer “Commodore 64”.
Later I graduated with honors in the University of Maryland in Mathematics and IT. The main field of my science research was the technologies used to collect data from unsystematic sources as well as large quantities of texts and science data. I was the author of dozens of articles in leading American academic magazines.
The greatest event in my life happened when in 1998 I was preparing for the defense(論文答辯) of my Doctor’s degree in the Stanford University. There the fate made me meet Larry Page—a young computer genius. Larry belonged to the intellectual society. I and Larry quickly became friends when we were working together.
We were searching day and night on the Internet. We were finding a lot of information but with the feeling we still couldn’t find enough of what we were looking for . Naturally the idea for a search engine that would allow specific information to be found in the endless pool of data was born like it came to us. It wasn’t our plans but we gave up the education at the university. You know the next part ,maybe—we managed to turn an ordinary garage in Peplo Park, California , the USA into our first office, in which Google was born. With excitement we typed the name of the thing which we created with love on September 14th,1998—www.Google.com. Now after those years we bought this garage. As a symbol it will always remind us that everything is possible.
小題1:Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?
A．The Birth of GoogleB．The Founder of Google
C．The Importance of CooperationD．The Great Contribution to the Internet
小題2:From the passage we know that Larry Page________.
A．was born from a rich merchant family
B．was once a student in the Stanford University
C．published some academic articles when young
D．was Brin’s important partner in starting Google
小題3:Why did they found Google ?
A．Because they loved working with the Internet so much.
B．Because they wanted to make a lot of money through the Internet
C．Because they hoped to make it easy to find specific information online
D．Because they believed everything is possible.
小題4:Which is the right order of what happened ?
a. My family moved from Russia to the USA
b. I met Larry Page
c. I was given a computer as a present on my 9th birthday.
d. google was born in an ordinary garage in California.

In 1987, while serving as the public affairs officer at Fort Bragg, I would frequently visit the local high schools to speak to the students about the Army. As a lieutenant colonel(中校), I found it particularly rewarding to talk with the teenagers about the benefits of military service, if only for a few years of their lives.
During one of these visits, I reported to the secretary in the principal’s office to let her know that I was here for the third-period class. I was a little surprised when she told me. “The principal would like to see you before you go to the class.”
As I entered his office, I was greeted by a gentleman who appeared to be in his late thirties, and he welcomed me with a smile and a handshake. “You don’t remember me, do you?” he said.
I looked closely at the face again and could not recall where we may have met before.
“You were my company commander in basic training at Fort Jackson in 1970,” the principal said.
“Let me help you out,” he suggested. “You gave me a three-day pass to go home and see my newborn baby.” I immediately remembered the incident!
“Yes,” I said. “I remember now.” It was the only three-day pass I had issued because the soldiers were on their way to Vietnam immediately after they finished training. But I knew if I did not let him go home to see his son and something happened to him, I would regret denying the opportunity he had to be with his family.
“Come on, Colonel. I’d like to introduce you to ‘the baby’. He’s in your third-period class. By letting me go see him, you gave me a reason to stay focused and to come home safe from that war. Thank you , sir.”
It was the most rewarding class I had ever given, and I had no problem in telling the students about the bonds of friendship and the values that Army life can provide…and that can last a lifetime.
小題1: In the writer’s opinion, talking to teens about the Army is       .
A．a(chǎn) forced taskB．a(chǎn) pleasant thing
C．a(chǎn)n unavoidable dutyD．a(chǎn)n embarrassing experience
小題2: Why did the principal want to see the writer?
A．He wanted to send his son to the Army.
B．He felt sorry for causing the writer trouble.
C．He was disappointed at the writer’s lecture.
D．He intended to express his thanks to the writer.
小題3:The underlined part in the text suggests that       .
A．the son may dieB．the son may become ill
C．the soldier may die in the warD．the soldier may be hurt in the training
小題4: What might be the most suitable title for the text?
A．A soldier remembers.B．A principal thinks

A few months ago I was at a bus stop in town in the evening. The bus came on time and I took the window seat. The bus route was by the seashore and I was enjoying the breeze (微風) while watching the sea waves. After a few minutes the bus made its next stop. A young boy and a girl got on. They were standing on my left when the bus pulled off. I looked at them curiously and realized that all the window seats were occupied (占據(jù)). They could sit but not together. Suddenly a different wave passed through my body and my inner mind gave me the advice to get up. I got up and offered them my seat. The young lady smiled kindly and said thanks. I occupied another seat and we parted our ways. I don’t remember whether I got off the bus before them or not.
Months passed by. Suddenly one day while I was standing at the same bus stop waiting some time for the bus to arrive I heard a voice.
“Excuse me, Uncle.” I looked in the direction of the voice. It was a beautiful young lady.
Puzzled, I said, “I do not recognize you.”
She said, “Do you remember you gave us your window seat?”
Puzzled, I said, “Maybe, but what is so great in that?”
She said, “If you had not given your seat that day, perhaps I would have not sat with my friend. By sitting together it helped us bridge a misunderstanding that had been between us forever. Do you know we are getting married next month?”
“Good! God bless both of you,” I replied.
The young lady again said thank you and went on her journey. I realized the importance of giving that day.
小題1: Why were the young boy and the girl standing on the bus?
A．Because they wanted to enjoy the sea view.
B．Because they couldn’t sit together.

It is only during the last few years that man has generally realized that in the world of nature a balance exists between all forms of life. No living thing can exist by itself: it is a part of a system (體系) in which all forms of life are joined together. If we change one part of the natural order, this will in its turn almost certainly bring about changes in some other part.
The cutting down of forests reduces the supply of oxygen. The killing of weeds and insects by chemicals leads to the wide spread poisoning of animals and birds. The throwing of waste products into the ocean harm to life in the sea, while waste gases change the chemical balance of the atmosphere.
And so we could go on, adding more examples, until in despair (絕望) we might feel like giving up the struggle to control and keep within limits these harmful human activities. Man is very clever at changing the world around him to satisfy his immediate needs, but not so clever at looking far ahead, or at thinking about what the future results of his action might be.
小題1:The first paragraph mainly tells us that __________.
A．everything in nature can’t exist without the help of human beings
B．no living thing can exist naturally
C．a(chǎn)ll living things in nature depend on each other
D．man has well known the importance of the balance for a long time
小題2:The examples given in the second paragraph are used to prove that __________.
A．it is very important to protect forests
B．there are some living things which can exist all by themselves without change
C．a(chǎn)ll forms of life belong to a system in which all the part can be changed for one another
D．we cannot change one form of life or matter without disturbing (擾亂) the balance of nature
小題3:In the second paragraph the underlined word “atmosphere” means __________.
A．the production of chemical factoriesB．the gas in the outer space
C．the mixture of gases that surrounds the earthD．the health of the human body
小題4:The third paragraph suggests that __________.
A．man shouldn’t think only about his immediate needs without enough thought on the future results
B．man is very clever in planning his distant future
C．man often feels that he has to give up in despair
D．man is always anxious to control and keep his actives within limits
