2014高考英语阅读理解基础全程训练（4）及答案 较难题目特训：科普知识类 “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 don’t 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?

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
