在昨天下午举行的全国大学英语6级考试中，一些熟悉IT业界的考生们惊奇的发现，第一道阅读理解题的内容竟然如此的熟悉。没错，整篇文章正是讲述了Page和Brin创建Google的历史。
下面就是这道阅读题的全文，看看你的阅读能力够不够6级标准。
Google is a world-famous company, with its headquarters in MountainView, California. It was set up in a Silicon Valley garage in 1998, andinflated（膨胀） with the Internet bubble. Even when everything around itcollapsed the company kept on inflating. Google’s search engine is sowidespread across the world that search became Google, and google became a verb. The world fell in love with effective, fascinatingly fast technology.
Google owes much of its success to the brilliance of S.Brin andL.Page, but also to a series of fortunate events. It was Page who, atStanford in 1996, initiated the academic project that eventually becameGoogle’s search engine. Brin, who had met Page at a student orientationa year earlier, joined the project early on. They were both Ph.D,candidates when they devised the search engine which was better thanthe rest and, without any marketing, spread by word of mouth from earlyadopters to, eventually, your grandmother.
Their breakthrough, simply put, was that when their search enginecrawled the Web. It did more than just look for word matches; it alsotallied（统计） and ranked a host of other critical factors like howwebsites link to one another. That delivered far better results thananything else. Brin and Page meant to name their creation Googol(themathematical term for the number 1 followed by 100 zeroes), but someonemisspelled the word so it stuck as Google. They raised money fromprescient（有先见之明的） professors and venture capitalists, and moved offcampus to turn Google into a business. Perhaps their biggest stroke ofluck came early on when they tried to sell their technology to othersearch engines, but no one met their price, and they built it up ontheir own.
The next breakthrough came in 2000, when Google figured out how tomake money with its invention. It had lots of users, but almost no onewas paying. The solution turned out to be advertising, and it’s not anexaggeration to say that Google is now essentially an advertisingcompany, given that that’s the source of nearly all its revenue. Todayit is a giant advertising company, worth $100 billion.
其后问题为
1) Apart from a series of fortunate events, what is it that has made Google so successful?
2) Google’s search engine originated from ___________ started by L.Page.
3) How did Google’s search engine spread all over the world?
