参考解析:
细节理解题。根据文章第一段第四句“When he later checked for the availability of the domain name, he made a mistake and typed in ‘google’ instead”可知,后来,当他查询该域名的可用性时,他犯了一个错误,输入了“谷歌”,因此选项A错误;根据文章第二段第二句“The company was named for the French explorer Antoine Laumet de la Mothe Cadillac, who founded the city of Detroit in 1701”可知,这家公司是以法国探险家安托万·劳梅特·德拉·莫西·凯迪拉克命名的,他在1701年建立了底特律,因此选项B错误;根据文章第三段第一句“Company co-founder Gordon Bowker has said that while brainstorming names, someone brought out a map that featured the old mining town of Starbo”可知,公司联合创始人戈登·鲍克说,在讨论名字的时候,有人拿出了一张地图,上面标出了古老的矿业城镇斯塔博,因此选项C中“love”一词无中生有,错误;第四段:“He wanted a name that was easy to say, worked in different languages, and looked good on the watches.”可推断,他想要一个他想要一个容易说的名字,一个被普遍接受的名字,因此选项D正确。故选D。
