Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete statements in the fewest possible words. Please write your answers on Answer Sheet 2.Questions 47 to 51 are based on the following passage.Google is a world-famous company, with its headquarters in Mountain View, California. It was set up in a Silicon Valley garage in 1998, and inflated (膨脹) with the Internet bubble. Even when everything around it collapsed the company kept on inflating. Googles search engine is so widespread across the world that search became Google, and google became a verb. The world fell in love with the effective, fascinatingly fast technology.Google owes much of its success to the brilliance of S. Brin and L. Page, but also to a series of fortunate events. It was Page who, at Stanford in 1996, initiated the academic project that eventually became Googles search engine. Brin, who had met Page at a student orientation a year earlier, joined the project early on. They were both Ph.D. candidates when they devised the search engine which was better than the rest and, without any marketing, spread by word of mouth from early adopters to, eventually, your grandmother.Their breakthrough, simply put, was that when their search engine crawled the Web, it did more than just look for word matches, it also tallied (統(tǒng)計(jì)) and ranked a host of other critical factors like how websites link to one another. That delivered far better results than anything else. Brin and Page meant to name their creation Googol (the mathematical term for the number 1 followed by 100 zeroes), but someone misspelled the word so it stuck as Google. They raised money from prescient (有先見之明的) professors and venture capitalists, and moved off campus to turn Google into business. Perhaps their biggest stroke of luck came early on when they tried to sell their technology to other search engines, but no one met their price, and they built it up on their own.The next breakthrough came in 2000, when Google figured out how to make money with its invention. It had lots of users, but almost no one was paying. The solution turned out to be advertising, and its not an exaggeration to say that Google is now essentially an advertising company, given that thats the source of nearly all its revenue. Today it is a giant advertising company, worth $100 billion.答案11.A) Surfing the net.12.B) He is sure of his success in the exam.13.D) The man is quite optimistic about human nature.14.C) Stay in business.15.A) More money.16.B) She missed the comforts of home.17.C) Seek professional advice.18.A) He dresses more formally now.19.B) To have meetings.20.D) It can lessen the discomfort caused by air travel.21.D) Avoided eating rich food.22.C) Not many of them chose to do what she did23.A) At a fair.24.C) The purchasing of some equipment.25.B) Training consultancy.26.A) Improve themselves.27.D) By making detailed plans and carrying them out.28.D) To illustrate how easily people abandon their goals.29.B) Karen was adopted by Ray Anderson.30.B) He sacrificed his life to save a baby girl.31.A) The reported hero turned out to be his father.32.B) Japan.33.D) By taking shorter vacations each year.34.A) To combat competition and raise productivity.35.C) Reducing their working hours.36.licensed37.obligation38.assess39.coordinate40.circumstance41.inappropriate42.responsibility43.prime44.It is sometimes required that we work overtime, and that we change shifts four or five times a month.45.Most hospitals are now staffed by new graduates, as experienced nurses finally give up trying to change the system.46.they will find that most critical hospital cares will be provided by new, inexperienced, and sometimes inadequately trained nurses.2007年6月英語六級真題聽力原文11、 W: Jim, you are on the net again! We are going to get off. It s time for the talk show! M: Just a minute dear! I m looking at a new jewelry site. I want to make sure I get the right gift for mom s birthday. Q: What is the man doing right now? 12W: I ve never seen you have such confidence before in the exam! M: It s more than confidence! Right now I felt that if I got less than an A, it will be the fault of the exam itself. Q: What does the man mean? 13W: Just look at this newspaper! Nothing but murder, death and war! Do you still believe people are basically good? M: Of course I do! But newspapers hardly ever report stories about peace and generosity. They are not news! Q: What do we learn from the conversation? 14M: Tom must be joking when he said he plans to sell his shop and go to medical school. W: You are quite right! He s just kidding! He s also told me time and time again he wished to study for some profession instead of going into business. Q: What will Tom probably do according to the conversation? 15W: I hear your boss has a real good impression of you, and he is thinking about giving you two more days off each month. M: I hope not. I d rather get more work hours I can get enough bucks to help out my two kids at college. Q: What does the man truly want? 16M: I heard you took a trip to Mexico last month. How did you like it? W: Oh, I got sick and tired of the hotel and hotel food! So now I understand the thing: East, west, home s best! Q: What does the woman mean? 17W: I m worried about Anna. She s really been depressed lately. All she does is staying in her room all day. M: That sounds serious! She d better see a psychiatrist at the counseling centre. Q: What does the man suggest Anna do? 18M: I could hardly recognize Sam after we got that new job! He s always in a suit and tie now. W: Yeah. He was never liked that in college. Back then, he went around in old T-shirts and jeans. Q: What does the speaker say about Sam? Conversation 1 M: Hi, Anna! Welcome back! Hows your trip to the States? W: Very busy. I had a lot of meetings, so, of course, I didnt have much time to see New York. M: What a pity! Actually, I have a trip there myself next week. W: Do you? Then take my advice, do the well-being in the air program. It really works. M: Oh, I read about that in a magazine. You say it works? W: Yes, I did the program on the flight to the States, and when I arrived at New York, I didnt have any problem, no jet lag at all. On the way back, I didnt do it, and I felt terrible. M: Youre joking! W: Not at all, it really meant a lot of difference. M: En. So what did you do? W: Well, I didnt drink an alcohol or coffee, and I didnt eat any meat or rich food. I drink a lot of water, and fresh juice, and I ate the noodles on the well-being menu. Theyre lighter. They have fish, vegetables, and noodles, for example, and I did some of the exercises of the program. M: Exercises? On a plane? W: Yes. I didnt do many, of course, there isnt much space on a plane. M: How many passengers do the exercises? W: Not many. M: Then how much champagne did they drink? W: A lot! It was more popular than mineral water. M: So, basically, its a choice. Mineral water and exercises, or champagne and jet lag. W: Thats right! Its a difficult choice. Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation youve just heard. 19. Why did the woman go to New York? 20. What does the woman say about the well-being in the air program? 21. What did the woman do to follow the well-being menu? 22. What did the woman say about other passengers? Conversation Two: W: Morning. Can I help you? M: Well, Im not rally sure. Im just looking. W: I see. Well, theres plenty to look at it again this year. Im sure you have to walk miles to see each stand. M: Thats true. W: Er, would you like a coffee? Come and sit down for a minute, no obligation. M: Well, thats very kind of you, but W: Now, please. Is this the first year youve been to the fair, Mr. M: Yes, Johnson, James Johnson. W: My names Susan Carter. Are you looking for anything in particular, or are you interested in computers in general? M: Well, actually, I have some specific jobs in mind. I owe a small company, weve grown quite dramatically over the past 12 months, and we really need some technological help to enable us to keep on top of everything. W: Whats your line of business, Mr. Johnson? M: Were a training consultancy. W: I see. And what do you mean “to keep on top”? M: The first thing is correspondence. We have a lot of standard letters and forms. So I suppose we need some kind of word processor. W: Right. Well, thats no problem.

M: What about the price? W: Well, the MR5000 costs 1,050 pounds. Software comes free with the hardware. M: Well, Ill think about it. Thank you. W: Heres my card. Please feel free to contact me. Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation youve just heard: 23. Where did the conversation take place? 24. What are the speakers talking about? 25. What is the mans line of business? Passage 1The new year always brings with the cultural tradition of new possibilities. We see it as a chance for renewal. We begin to dream of new possible selves. We design our ideal self or an image that is quite different from what we are now. For some of us, we roll at dreamy film in our heads just because its the beginning of a new year. But we arent serious about making changes. We just make some half-hearted resolution and it evaporates after a week or two. The experience makes us feel less successful and leads us to discount our ability to change in the future. It not the change is impossible but that it would lose(?) unless our resolutions are supported with plans for implementation. We have to make our intentions manageable by detailing the specific steps that will carry us to our goal. Say your goal is to lose weight by dieting and cutting off sweets. But one night you just have to have a cookie. And you know theres a bag of your favorites in the cupboard. You want one, you eat two, you check the bag and find out youve just shot 132 calories. You say to yourself, “What the hell!” and polish off the whole bag. Then you begin to draw all kinds of unpleasant conclusions about yourself. To protect your sense of self, you begin to discount the goal. You may think “Well, dieting wasnt that important to me and I wont make it anyhow.” So you abandon the goal and return to your bad habits. 26 What do people usually wish to do at the beginning of a new year? 27 How can people turn their new years resolutions into reality? 28 Why does the speaker mention the example of sweets and cookies? Passage225 years ago, Ray Anderson, a single parent with a one-year-old son witnessed a terrible accident which took place when the driver of a truck ran a red light and collided with the car of Sandra
