A .True or false.
Nowadays, one of the most popular kinds of communication on the Internet is through personal Web sites called blogs. Blog is a shortened name for Web log. Anyone can crate his or her own blog and update information to their blogs
evry day. A blog may contain stories or pictures, link to other Web sites and get some comments（评价）from visitors. Blogs offer a way to present news or personal information. Blogs have become a place for public expression on many subjects. It is estimated（估计）that there are more than sixty million blogs around the world. People who have blogs are called bloggers. In the united States, many people have blogs. So do many other Americans, including teenagers and college students. Surely, some bloggers are experts in their fields and forever have invaluable contents to offer us. Most of those bloggers are discussing new ideas, hot topics from their life experiences. Nevertheless, even famous bloggers would run out of contents without constant(持续的)learning. This is one reason why many bloggers end up with nothing to write. However, they forget this and think they have unlimited contents just waiting to burst from their brain. Gradually, they fail to own the fresh thoughts.
In fact, it applies everywhere: Think you’re successful in your sport? Stop practicing. See what happens. Your English has been improved to the gre atest possible level, but don’t want to learn something new? You’ll soon be behind others. In today’s society, a degree tells little about what you know. It does tell about what you can learn. For instance, t he IT world is constantly changing. Anything learnt today will probably be useless in a few short years. The point is to learn to learn. Blogging works exactly the same way. Never stop learning, or your blog will close forever one day.
71. Everyone can design his or her own blog and add information to their blogs every day.
72. Blogs aren’t allowed to connect to the other Web sites through the Internet.
73. There are more than six million blogs on many subjects around the world.
74. Bloggers like to share their fresh ideas, hot topics and express their personal opinions.
75. Without constant learning famous bloggers could still get the contents from their brain.
76. In today’s society a degree shows much about what you know.
77. People won’t get tired of your blogging if you’re continuously improving you r writing.
B. Choose the best answer.(根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案)
Out of all of American’s symbols, none has proved more famous than the Statue of Liberty. This giant figure, torch in hand and standing on a stone base, has acted as the American Dream for a century. It’s worth remembering that the statue is a reminder that the USA is a land of immigrants(移民)：indeed it was New York Harbor where the first European immigrants arrived and ended their journey into the unknown and the hopeful beginning of a new life.
The statue, which holds a torch to light the world, was the creation of the French sculptor Bartholdi, who crafted(精心制作) it a hundred years after the American Revolution. Bartholdi built Liberty in Paris between 1874 and 1884, starting with a model and making it larger four times to its present size. The arm carrying the torch was exhibited in Madison Square Park for seven years, but the whole statue wasn’t officially accepted to stand for the American people until 1884. Then it was taken apart and shipped to New York. Another two years passed before it could be properly open to the public. Money had to be collected to fund(资助) the construction of the base, and for some reason it’s very hard to collect this sum of money. Nevertheless because of the great of a rich man, Joseph Pulitzer, a keen supporter of the statue, raised all the money in the end, and the statue of Liberty was formally displayed by President Cleveland on October 28, 1886. The statue was closed for a few years in the mid-1980s for repairs and, in 1986, fifteen million people gathered on Manhattan for the statue’s centennial celebrations.
Today you can climb steps up to the crown. Don’t be surprised if there’s an hour-long wait to enjoy the journey. Even if there is, Liberty Park’s views of the lowe r Manhattan skyline are worth seeing because they are definitely unique.
