The Never-Stop Blogging To celebrate four years of marriage, Richard Wiggins and his wife, Judy Matthews, recently spent a week in Key West(基韦斯特市). Early on the morn

15、ing of their anniversary, Ms. Matthews heard her husband get up and go into the bathroom. He stayed there for a long time. I didnt hear any water running, so I wondered what was going on, Ms. Matthews said. When she knocked on the door, she found him seated with his laptop balanced on his knees, typ

16、ing into his Web log, a collection of observations about the technical world, over a wireless link. The increasing biogging Blogging is a pastime for many, even a livelihood for a few. For some, it becomes an obsession (沉迷). Such bloggers often feel compelled to write several times daily and feel an

17、xious if they dont keep up. As they spend more time sitting in front of their computers, they neglect family, friends and jobs. They blog at home, at work and on the road. They blog openly or sometimes, like Mr. Wiggins, quietly so as not to call attention to their habit. The number of bloggers has

18、grown quickly, thanks to sites like , which makes it easy to set up a biog. Technorati, a blog-tracking service, has counted some 2.5 million blogs. Of course, most of those millions are abandoned or, at best, maintained infrequently. For many bloggers, the novelty soon wears off and their persisten

19、ce fades. Sometimes, too, the realization that no one is reading sets in. A few blogs have thousands of readers, but never have so many people written so much to be read by so few. By Jupiter Researchs estimate, only 4 percent of online users read blogs. The self. talking Mr. Wiggins Indeed, if a bl

20、og is compared to a conversation between a writer and readers, bloggers like Mr. Wiggins are having conversations largely with themselves. Mr. Wiggins, 48, a senior information technologist at Michigan State University in East Lansing, does not know how many readers he has; he suspects its not many.

21、 But that does not seem to bother him. Im just getting something off my chest, he said. Nor is he deterred(妨碍) by the fact that he endeavors for hours at a time on his blog for no money. He gets satisfaction in other ways. Sometimes theres an I told you so aspect to it, he said. Recent reflections o

22、n wigblog, blogspot, com have focused on Gmail, Googles new e-mail service. Mr. Wiggins points with pride to Wigblog posts that voiced early privacy concerns about Gmail. Being addicted Perhaps a chronically small audience is a blessing. For it seems that the more popular a blog becomes, the more so

23、me bloggers feel the need to post. Mr. Pierce, who lives in Hollywood and works as a scheduler in the entertainment industry, said blogging began to feel like an addiction when he noticed that he would rather be with his computer than with his girlfriend - for technical reasons. Shes got an iMac, an

24、d I dont like her computer, Mr. Pierce said. When he is at his girlfriends house, hes getting ants in his pants. We have little fights because I want to go home and write my thing, he said. Mr. Pierce described the rush he gets from what he called the fix provided by his biog. The pleasure of reply

25、is twofold, he said, You can have instant response; youre going to hear about something really good or bad. And if I feel like Ive written something good, its enjoyable to go back and read it. And, like most addictions, those feelings go away quickly. So I have to do it again and again. It is not un

26、common among bloggers. A sense of achievement Joseph Lorenzo Hall, 26, a graduate student at the School of Information Management and Systems at the University of California at Berkeley who has studied bloggers, said that for some people blogging has replaced e-mail as a way to procrastinate (耽搁) at

27、 work. People like Mr. Pierce, who devote much of their free time to the care and feeding of their own blogs and posting to other blogs, do so largely because it makes them feel productive even if it is not a paying job. Mr. Wiggins has missed deadline after deadline at Searcher, an online magazine

28、for which he is a paid contributor. Barbara Quint, the editor of the magazine, said she did all she could to get him to deliver his columns on time. Then she discovered that Mr. Wiggins was busily posting articles to his blog instead of sending her the ones he had promised, see said. Here he is work

29、ing all night on something read by five second cousins and a dog, and Im willing to pay him, she said. Ms. Quint has grown more understanding of his reasons, if not entirely sympathetic. The Webs illusion of immortality(不朽的名声) is sometimes more attractive than actual cash, she said. Blogging as rout

30、ine Mr. Jarvis characterizes the blogging way of life as a routine rather than an obsession. Its a habit, he said. What youre really doing is telling people about something that they might find interesting. When that becomes part of your life, when you start thinking in blog, it becomes part of you.

31、 Blog fatigue Suffering from a similar form of blog fatigue, Bill Barol, a freelance writer in Santa Monica, California, simply stopped altogether after four years of nearly constant blogging. It was starting to feel like work, and it was never supposed to be a job, Mr. Barol said, It was supposed t

32、o be an anti- job. Even with some 200 visitors to his blog each day, he has not posted to his blog since returning from a month of travel. Still, Mr. Barol said, he does not rule out a return to blogging someday. There is this attractive thing that happens, this kind of snowball-rolling-down-a-hill

33、thing, where the sheer momentum (动力) of several years posting becomes very keenly felt, he said. And the absence of posting feels like - I dont know, laziness or something. 1. The passage gives examples of some typical bloggers to describe blogging as a new way of online performance.答案:Y主旨题。题文是“本文以几

34、个典型的博客写手为例描述了博客作为一种新的网上行为的情况”。本文主要介绍了几个博客写手及他们对博客的看法，从中可以看出博客已经成为一种新的上网行为受到许多人的欢迎。题文所说也是这个意思。因此，答案为Y。2. Some bloggers can not shake off the strong de.sire of writing blogs and are addicted to it.答案:Y细节题。题文是“一些博客写手无法摆脱写博客的强烈愿望，而且沉迷于此”。与之相关的部分在文中第3段提到。文中说“对一些博客写手来说，写博客已成为一种迷恋。这种人觉得自己每天必须写几次，如果不写就感到不自在

35、”，这与题文的意思一致。答案为Y。3. Blogging serves ms an online entertainment only for net professionals because it requires proficient net skills.答案:N细节题。题文是“把博客作为一种网上娱乐是只对那些上网专业人士而言的，因为它要求熟练的上网技巧”。与此相关的部分在文中第4段提到。文中说“博客写手的人数增长很快，这要归功于像这样的网站，它们使建立博客成为一件很容易的事”，可见写博客并不难，这与题文“要求熟练的上网技巧”意思不一致。答案为N。4. Wigblog always e

36、xplores the information about e-mail service systems online.答案:NG细节题。题文是“威格博客总是探讨同上邮件系统的信息”。有关威格博客的内容在文中第9段。文中第9段提到，“威格金先生骄傲地指着威格博客上的帖子，上面很早就发表了对Cmail邮件系统隐私权的关注”，但并没有提“威格博客”是否总是关心网上邮件系统的操作情况。所以题文中“总是探讨网上邮件系统的信息”没有提及，答案为NG。5. Mr. Pierce spends his leisure time on blogs dedicatedly in attempt to obtai

37、n a sense of achievement, rather than money.答案:Y细节题。题文是“皮尔斯先生把业余时间全心全意地花在写博客上是为了得到一种成就感，而不是钱”。文中第14段提到“有些人像皮尔斯先生一样，把业余时间都投入到建设自己的博客和支持别人博客中，这样做是为了使他们自己感到富有成效，尽管这工作不赚钱”，也就是说这些人不是为了赚钱而是为了获得多产的成就感。这与题文“为了得到一种成就感”相符。答案为Y。6. All bloggers considered blogging as a compulsive addiction to the unique style o

38、f writing.答案:N细节题。题文是“所有博客写手都认为写博客是不由自主地沉溺于这种独特的写仲方式”。与之相关的部分在文中第17段。文中说，“扎维斯先生认为写博客是一种例行公事而不是一种迷恋”，也就是说并不是所有人都认为写博客就是对这种写作方式的迷恋，也许只是一种习惯。这与题文“所有博客写手都认为”意思不一致。答案为N。7. Mr. Banal who has stopped writing blogs will never resort to it again.答案:N细节题。题文是“巴赫尔先生停止了他的博客写作，以后也不会再写了”。文中第18段提到，“巴赫尔先生说，他并不排除以后还会

39、重新开始写博客”，这与题文“以后也不会再写了”意思不一致。答案为N。8. Mr. Pierce enjoyed his blogging because of the genuine feeings and the _ he got from the online reply.答案:instant response本题空白处问“在同上回复中获得的真实情盛和另外的什么原因使皮尔斯先生喜欢写博客”。文中第13段提到，“皮尔斯先生描述了自己从被他称为博客带来的过瘾中所领略的激动情绪。”“收到回复的乐趣是双重的，他说，你可以得到即时的回复，可以听到真正好的和不好的回馈”。题文中已经给出其中一个原因，即

40、了解真实情况，另一方面就是即时回复。因此，答案为instant response。9. Although there are innumerable people logging on the internet, the proportion of online users reading blogs is only _.答案:4 percent本题空白处问“上网的人读博客的占多大比例”。文中第6段提到“有几个博客拥有上千名读者，但是从来没有像博客这样这么多人写给这么少的人读。朱皮特研究估算只有百分之四的网络用户读博客”。因此，答案为4 percent。10. Having written b

41、logs for a long time, Mr. Barol quits blogging flat because of _.答案:blog fatigue本题空白处问“巴赫尔先生完全放弃写博客的原因”。文中第18段提到，巴赫尔是加利福尼业的一位自由撰稿人，由于类似的“博客疲乏症”的困扰，他持续写了四年的博客之后搁笔放弃了。因此，答案为blog fatigue。Part Listening ComprehensionSection ADirections: In this section, you will hear 8 short conversations and 2 long con
