Blogging
Blogging is growing and for very good reasons, much like e-mail took off ten years ago. And like ten years ago when I found myself repeatedly trying to explain e-mail to people and why they really did need an e-mail address, now I'm explaining blogging and why it matters. What Is Blogging? The act of producing a blog. What's a blog? That's a little bit harder to answer. The term blog is short for web log, a "log" of diary-like entries published on a website. This is how it started, people publishing their daily thoughts for all to read on their website. Sometimes new entries are produced every few minutes, and sometimes just once and a while. It all depends on the author and what she or he wants to express. But blogging has evolved to mean much more than diary entries. Blogging is easy, almost instant, publishing of content to a website, where every entry is preserved in a database and is therefore categorizable and searchable. Content can be photographs, restaurant reviews, or anything digitally storable on a computer that you can categorize. One of my blogs is a group web log for book reviews. Several of my friends are authors on this site with the ability to post reviews of books they've read. The other blog is set up sort of like a journal, except that it is rarely personal. I use it mostly to park things (ideas, opinions, links, humor) that I find interesting or useful, and think others might find so as well. The true power of the blog comes from its interactivity with visitors and other blogs. As an author, you can allow your web visitors to comment on your entries, the comments then being published along side or in a separate window of the entry. As you find other blogs that you like to read, you link to them on your blog site. And as others find your blog interesting, they link to you as well. All of this helps build a community of those who share a common interest in each other's content. Why Does Blogging Matter? 1. It gives you a place to easily store interesting bits of information and ideas that you come across. Computer storage is cheap. Brain storage is unreliable. The computer is more efficient at searching than the brain is, and better at storage. We forget things. The computer doesn't. With a blog, the stored knowledge is on the net, accessible from any browser anywhere in the world. 2. Writing your thoughts down, on paper or computer, is a good mental discipline. It sharpens your intellect. It refines your thinking. It helps clarify your thoughts so that you communicate them better. And it puts you in the position of "creator" rather than passive consumer of content. 3. By opening up your blogs to comments, you invite the collective intelligence (hopefully) of your readers to add to your thoughts and to contribute to your knowledge. You've created a collaborative thought space. 4. Young people are blogging. Blog sites are replacing home pages because of the ease of publishing, the depth of functionality, and the connections with other bloggers. 5. If you produce a website, your website will score higher in Google rankings (search engine results) if your site is a biog. Google rewards sites for rapidly changing content and links outbound and inbound from other sites, which is the nature of blogs. 6. Now anyone can publish. The best content will get the most exposure as more blogs link to it and more people comment to it. The publishing and distributing of content will become decentralized, shifting power away from the major media companies. How Do You Get Started? If you want to start a blog, you'll need blogging software to load on your server, or a blogging hosting service to host your blog for you. The easiest way is to use a host service like Blogger. corn or TypePad. Blogger. corn is free and ad supported, but you will need to know some HTML to get started and to make your site look good. TypePad is a new service that costs a minimum of $5 per month, but you don't have to know any HTML and the service is the most feature rich of all of them with gorgeous styles from which to choose the look of your blog. If you want the most flexibility and customizable features, you'll need to go with blogging software that you load onto a remote server hosting your website. Movable Type (from the same company that makes TypePad) is the most powerful solution out there, with a free license available for personal, non-commercial use and licenses available for personal and commercial use that includes support. Movable Type requires a good knowledge of HTML and style sheets but the documentation is extensive and MT has an active user base and support forum.

There was silence for a few seconds, and Miss Richards felt disappointed, but then one boy raised his hand. "Yes, Dick!" said Miss Richards encouragingly.

Passage One In many homes, divorce is caused by the "battle between the sexes". To understand the problem, one must remember that modern American woman is freed. During childhood and youth, the American girl is given freedom and education which is equal to a boy's. After completing school, she is able to get a job and support herself. She doesn't have to marry for financial security. She considers herself an independent, self-sufficient person. She wants a husband whom she can respect. She wants a democratic household in which she has a voice in making decisions. When a husband and wife are able to share decision-making, their marriage is probably closer, stronger, and more satisfying. Otherwise, the couple is likely to wind up in the divorce court. When a couple gets divorced, the court usually requires the man to pay his former wife a monthly sum of money. If the couple has children, they usually remain with the mother, and the father is expected to pay for their support. Although divorce is quite common in the United States, 80 percent of those who get divorced remarry. The remarriages allow thousands of people, especially children, to enjoy family life again, but at the same time many troubles have arisen. A well-known American joke tells of a wife calling to her second husband, "Quick, John! Come here and help me! Your children are beating up our children!"
1. What is the passage mainly discussing?
A.Financial trouble in the family.
B.Different attitudes between husband and wife towards children's education.
C.Women's liberation movement.
D.Lack of democratic atmosphere in the household often leads to divorce.
C.The mother is not respected by the stepchildren.
D.Remarriage causes new troubles in the household.
A B C D

细节题。本题要求学生理解作者举例的目的和例子本身的意思。最后一段中提到but at the same time many troubles have arisen,紧跟着的即是这个笑话.因此该笑话是为了具体说明前句。其他三项均不符。
Passage Two We are all called upon to make a speech sometime in life, but most of us don't do a very good job. We may get nervous, forget what we want to say, or talk too long and bore our audience. Later we may think, "Thank goodness, it's over. I'm not good at public speaking. I hope I never have to do that again." It doesn't have to be that bad. Here are some simple steps to take the pain out of speech-making, First of all, it is important to plan. Find out everything you can about your subject. And, at the same time, find out as much as you can about your audience. Who are they? Why are they coming to hear you speak? Put yourself in their shoes as you prepare your speech. Ask yourself the purpose of your speech. What is the occasion? Why are you speaking? There are many possible speaking roles, and each one has its own special characteristics. Don't spoil your speech by confusing one speaking role with another. When you are making your speech, try to relax. Speak slowly and clearly and look at people in your audience. Use simple vocabulary and expressions whenever possible. Pause for a few seconds now and then to give your audience a chance to think about what you have said. If you follow these steps, you'll see that you don't have to be afraid of public speaking.

Smoking, which may be a pleasure for some people, is a serious source of discomfort for their fellows. 1 , medical authorities express their 2 about the effect of smoking 3 the health not only 4 those who smoke but also of those who do not. In fact, nonsmokers who must 5 inhale (吸入) the air polluted by tobacco smoke may 6 more than the smokers themselves. As you are doubtlessly 7 , a considerable number of our students have 8 in an effort to 9 the university to ban smoking in the classrooms. I believe they are 10 right in their aim. 11 , I would hope that it is 12 to achieve this by 13 the smokers to use good judgment and show concern 14 others rather than by regulation.

本题测试词义辨析。entirely意为“整个地,完全地”,较wholly语气强。这与entire和whole的关系一样,凡被分割、破坏或切断的都不能称为entire;whole含有部分的观念,entire则指全然的整体;entire可以修饰抽象名词,whole却不能。如:I'm in entire ignorance as to what he did (=I'm entirely ignorant). B项totally与上面两个词的主要区别在于它有较强的计算意味。
本题测试句意理解。call on/upon sb. to do sth. 意为“请/叫/号召某人做某事”。A项plead with sb. for…意为“向某人恳求……”;B项beg sb. for sth.意为“向某人乞求……”;C项insist on/doing sth. 意为“坚决主张、坚决要求做某事”。根据题意,对烟民要号召他们戒烟,故A、B、C项都不妥。
