高考英语一轮复习 阅读理解九月选练（六）1

安徽五河县2017高考英语阅读理解九月选练（六）阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 “So what is Quintura?” you may ask. “I like the search engine I currently use, My Favorite Search Engine. Why do I need anything else? My Favorite Search Engine knows everything about every subject I am interested in and I can access all of the information available on the Web with My Favorite Search Engine.” “Oh, yes!” we answer. “Indeed! We have no doubt that you have chosen the best search engine for your own search purposes! We dont want you to part with your favorite Yahoo, MSN or Google.” However, what if you think about searching in a different way. Have you ever raked through the paper card index of a big library? You have to find the necessary letter (or their combination), take the correct drawer, and start sorting through the cards. Ring any bells? After much time and effort, finally you find the long-awaited card! Of course web search engines take away the laborious task of sifting (筛选) through paper index cards. And if you know the books exact author and title, either search is easy on the web or in a library. But what if you know only your general search scope? Neither the authors name nor the book title. In a library, the only way out is to ask a librarian. But on the web, what do you do? You are on your own. Until now, Quintura is the very know-all librarian! Imagine a conversation between you and the search engine you use most often, My Favorite Search Engine (MFSE). You: I need some books on physics. MFSE: No problem. We have a lot of good literature. You: Oh. . . so many of them! MFSE: You asked for books on physics, here, Ive found some more. You: No, I need only one branch of physics. MFSE: But I have all the branches! Thousands of books. Choose whatever you want. You: But I need the branch on solid movement: acceleration, friction and so on. MFSE: Here they are. Books on physics. . . Now imagine beginning the same conversation with Quintura (Qu). You: I need some books on physics. Qu: OK! We have a lot of good literature; what branch of physics do you need? You: Branch? Im not sure of its name. Qu: What is your branch about? You: Solid movement: acceleration, friction and so on. Qu: Lets see. Here is mechanics! Please note this list of books, our visitors mostly ask for these books on mechanics. You: Thank you. 1. Quintura is the name of.

To tell us how to find your book in a big library. B. To remind you of your school life. C. To advise you to think about searching in a different way. D.

From the two conversations we can learn. A. MFSE can provide you with more books than QuinturaB. MFSE always offers you some useless informationC.
