Question

Blogs (博客) are the place where young people go to show their hearts, to express their anger, sorrow or disappointment, and even to gossip (说别人的闲话).
Many people enjoy the freedom in blogging. Some, however, find that putting one’s life online can have a price. The blogs of some students in America were stopped by the government for some time because they posted threatening words to their teachers on their blogs.
A recent study finds that nearly a fifth of teens who surf the Internet have their own blogs. And 38 % of teens say they read other people’s blogs. By comparison, about a tenth of adults have their own blogs and a quarter say they read other people’s online magazines.
With the development of the Internet, more and more people will be attracted by blogging.
In another study, 79% of teens agree that people at their age aren’t careful enough when giving out information about themselves online. Besides, careless blogging can also influence blog readers. When you are angry or unhappy, your blog is the first place you turn to. The words you post then may not be rational which you may regret later. To minimize (使减到最小) the negative influence, change the safety setting and make such posts “personal” so that only you can read them.
As long as you are careful with what you post, blogging is a great means of staying in touch with friends and displaying one’s creative works

Answer 1

DDDC
试题分析：文章向我们讲述了博客这一新兴的网络场所的优点和缺点。
1.D 细节题。根据第一段where young people go to show their hearts, to express their anger, sorrow or disappointment, and even to gossip (说别人的闲话).说明博客是一个自由发表个人思想的地方，故D正确。
2.D 推理题。在第二段中提及了一些年轻人因为在博客里说来一些威胁老师的话，而被政府禁止，正是为了告诉在博客中也要注意自己的行为，不要影响别人和社会。故D正确。
3.D 猜测词义题。根据The words you post then may not be rational which you may regret later中的which you may regret later这些话以后你也许会后悔，说明这些话也许是不合理的，是冲动的时候说出来的，故rational指reasonable.故D正确。
4.C 主旨大意题。文章主要想我们讲述了博客的好处和坏处，在博客上我们可以自由的方便观点，但是我们也要注意自己的用词。不要说出一些不合理的话。故C正确。
