问题     From humble beginnings in a garage in Menlo Park, California in 1998, Google has grown into a multinational company carrying out over one billion Internet searches every day.
    Google’s most famous product is Google Search. Searching Google【C1】______relevant sources is now as standard a procedure for historians as【C2】______for library catalogues. But it does have【C3】______: online databases and non-textual information, such as pictures, cannot always be【C4】______by Google or other search engines. Such sites have to be searched【C5】______, which is dependent on knowing they exist.
    Google Search is not the only tool that Google offers to historians. Google Maps and a(n)【C6】______tool called Google Earth together provide high-resolution (高分辨率) satellite images, street maps and terrain【C7】______for many areas of the world. Google Maps can be used to【C8】______down the exact location of where something happened, or to give a new perspective on old interpretations:【C9】______the position of First World War trenches, for example, or mapping the journey of Marco Polo.
    Google also provides tools that【C10】______historians to work together. Google Scholar allows historians to find work that is【C11】______to their own, whether produced by fellow historians or【C12】______from different disciplines.
    For historians looking to collaborate, Google Docs allows documents to be accessed and edited by multiple users【C13】______： historians in different universities researching the same topic can write up【C14】______articles on their findings. Google Wave and Google Buzz are two new messaging and social up【C15】______, tools that enable real-time conversations online.
    Google is also【C16】______a significant role in producing digital versions of sources that would otherwise be【C17】______to archives and museums. Google Books is a project, carried out in【C18】______with a range of universities and libraries, to digitize millions of their books and make them【C19】______on the web. As a result, historians can search for key words or phrases in over 10 million books, from the earliest【C20】______texts to the present day. [br] 【C10】
选项 A、require
B、boost
C、teach
D、avoid
答案 B
解析 动词辨析题。本句说明工具在历史学家的工作中所起的作用。根据句中的work together可知谷歌使历史学家在一起丁作，应该是积极作用。因此B)boost“促进，帮助”符合句意。A)require“要求”，一般是人发出的动作，而本句主语是tools，不符合题意；C)teach“教育，教授”，谷歌也无法产生教育意义；D)avoid“避免，阻止”，表示负面作用，且一般用法是avoid sb．doingsth．与空格后的to相矛盾。
