John Battelle is Silicon Valley’s Bob Woodward. As one of the founders of Wired magazine, he has hung around Google for so long that he has come to be as close as any outsider can to actually being an insider. Certainly, Google’s founders, Sergey Brin and Larry Page, and its chief executive, Eric Schmidt, believe that it is safer to talk to Mr. Battelle than not to do so.
The result is a highly readable account of Google’s astonishing rise—the steepest in corporate history—from its origins in Stanford University to its controversial stockmarket debut and its current str-uggle to become a grown-up company while staying true to its youthfully brash motto, "Don’t be evil. " Mr. Battelle makes the reader warm to Google’s ruling triumvirate—their cleverness and their good intentions—and fear for their future as they take on the world.
Google is one of the most interesting companies around at the moment. It has a decent shot at displacing Microsoft as the next great near-monopoly of the information age. Its ambition—to organise all the world’s information, not just the information on the world wide web—is epic, and its commercial power is frightening. Beyond this, Google is interesting for the same reason that secretive dictatorships and Hollywood celebrities are interesting—for being opaque, colourful and, simply, itself.
The book disappoints only when Mr. Battelle begins trying to explain the wider relevance of internet search and its possible future development. There is a lot to say on this subject, but Mr. Battelle is hurried and overly chatty, producing laundry lists of geeky concepts without really having thought any of them through properly. This is not a fatal flaw. Read only the middle chapters, and you have a great book.
The work by John Battelle would be perfected if appropriate consideration is given to
选项
A、the relationship between internet research and its potential future development
B、secretive dictatorships and Hollywood celebrities under control
C、the disappointments in Google and its rivals in respects to geeky concepts
D、companies’ interests in Google at the moment when the world’s economy is booming
答案
A
解析
本题是一道细节推导题,测试考生对原文的准确理解以及推导能力。本题的答案信息来源在尾段的第一句,该句的大意是:“本书令人失望的一点仅仅存在于Battelle先生对互联网与其未来发展之间更广泛联系的解释”。由此可见,Battelle先生的作品需要改进和完善的方面就在于此。故本题的正确选项应该是A“the relationship between internet research and its potential future development”(互联网研究与其未来发展之间的关系)。考生在阅读时应注意每个词所传达的深层含义。
