PartB总体分析本篇对Google搜索引擎的创建及其作用作了一番解说。第一、二段为引子，三、四段说明它的创建，后几段作者进行正反评说。41．【答案】A【解析】本题考察考生对全文结构，尤其上下段的逻辑的把握。既然上段介绍了Google，下段又介绍Google的创建，那么空格选项应为A项，才符合前后逻辑。42．【答案】F【解析】本题涉及段落内容的前后连贯，尤其上下句的修辞排比。既然前后都是if...，那么选项当然就该是F项了。43．【答案】G【解析】本题同样涉及段落内上下文的逻辑把握。既然下文说到“Astory（新闻故事）getsonifenoughnewspapersrunitandgiveitprominence”，那么答案就得与新闻报纸内容有关，答案显然是G项。44．【答案】C【解析】本题涉及段落内部逻辑。既然下文说到“ItneedshelpdistinguishingbetweenFrancisBacon,the20thcenturypainter,andFrancisBacon,the17thcenturyphilosopher”，那么上文就得说过Google不善区分相同姓名的人物，答案显然是C项。45．【答案】E【解析】本题涉及段落内逻辑。下文说到一位女士给一报纸编辑（ethicist伦理学家）写信，问自己所做的事是否得体（decent），可见上文涉及伦理道德问题，所以E项为答案。
