[单选题]1、If you look for the most visited websites in the world,what you find is a list of sites owned by western corporalions,confirmation of the degree to which the web has been capturecl by the corporate world.1.The idea that a significant encyclopedia could be created by allowing anyone to create pages on any topic seemed pretty improbable way back in 2001 when it was introduced by Jimmy Wales.That it could have evolved into the world's leading general reference work-and the fifth most visited website on the planet-is truly extraordinary.Since its establishment,it's been the butt of jokes,a focus for academic anger.2.Indeed,in specialist areas,Wikipedia pages are often written by experts and are usually the best places to gain an informed and up-to-date overview.Because Wikipedia is so vast and varied,the controversies it engenders have traditionally been about its content and rarely about its governance,which is a pity,because in some ways this is the most significant aspect of the project.3.Wikipedia's governance is a clever mix of technology,norms and processes.It started with the wiki technology invented by Ward Cunningham,which allowed anyone to write and publish live web pages,together with an acceptance that while"truth"might be unattainable,nevertheless achieving what it called"a neutral point of vrew"was a worthwhile aspiration.4.From the beginning,Wikipedia had a core of volunteer editors who shared common values and some substantive expertise.And sitting atop this structure was a founder,Jimmy Wales,who operated as a kind of benevolent dictator and an arbiter of last resort.From a contemporary perspective,though,the most significant design decision was that every page would have a public discussion page attached to it,which meant that there would be a record of all the arguments that had led to particular changes.Reading Wikipedia discussion pages provides a way of understanding how a particular proposition or assertion came to be made and how it evolved over time.5.But in a polarised political climate,it shows what can be done to preserve us from the madness of hysterical,uncivil,conspiracist discourse that now characterises social media.Which,among other things,explains why Susan Wojcicki.YouTube's CEO,recently announced that the video site will henceforth use excerpts from Wikipedia to counteract videos romoting conspiracy theories.This,wrote one commentator,"is,at first glance,odd.A megacorporation with billions of dollars and thousands of brilliant employees is...relying on a volunteer-run platform anyone can edit to fact-check information?"It is odd.But it's also a validation of Wikipedia's mission and a reminder of its importance. 3选?
A.There were no gatekeepers-anyone could create a page on any subject-but the technology,which enabled rapid reversion to a pre-edited version,provided an effective antidote to vandalism.
B.The political events of the last two years should have alerted us to the fact that Wikipedia had to invent a way of tackling the problem that now confronts us at a global level:how to get at some approximation to the truih.
C.Mainiaining"the neutral point of view"is relatively easy when writing about science topics or otherwise objectively verifiable subjects.But in other topics,such as politics and hisiory,bias and controversy inevitably arise.
D.There is,however,one single ray of light in this depressing list.For there,in fifth place.is the antithesis to all of that:a site that embodies the potential of the internet to harness the collective intelligence of humanity-Wikipedia.
E.In June 2006,Roy Rosenzweig,a professor specializing in American history,stated that Wikipedia often fails to distinguish important from trivial details,and does not provide the best references.He also complained about Wikipedia's lack of"persuasive analysis and interpretations,and clear and engaging prose".
F.There was one moment when the vice-chancellor of a top university made a dismissive remark about Wikipedia,only to have a world-teading chemist in the audience icily retort that the pages on his speciality were the most up-to-date summary currently available anywhere-because he wrote them.
G.It's like reading the transcript of an argument that has gone on for a long time-an attempt to track rationality in action.Like every other human-made thing,it s imperfect.
正确答案:B 答案解析:空格上文先指出“维基百科管理方式常遭忽视:对维基百科的争论多围绕其内容.极少涉及其管理方式”,随后转而明确“维基百科管理方式才是其核 心”;空格下文开启对维基百科管理方式的介绍。上下文之间缺少对观点句“维基百科管理方式是其核 心”的详细阐释,故推测空格句说明“维基百科管理方式的重要意义”,B.指出“维基百科的管理方式旨在抗击虚假信息、寻求事实真相,是当前政治环境的迫切需求”,体现“维基百科管理方式对于维护健康政治、社会环境的重要性”,且shoulcl have alerted(should have done为虚拟语气,表示“本该做却没做”)呼应上文“人们并未意识到维基百科管理方式的重要性”,又以a way of iackling the problem.…回应its governance,故正确。

正确答案:A 答案解析:由Wikipedia's governance is…It started with.…Wikipedia had.…And si【ting atop this structure was.…线条可确定本段为“总一分”逻辑(首句为总),分述巾空格前(②句)介绍维基百科管理方式的根基“维基技术和对‘追求中立观点’的目标之认同”,但此句对维基技术的阚释“允许任何人撰写、发布即时网页”无法体现“维基技术能实现追求中立观点的目标、避免煽动性偏激言论”;而空格后转变了论述视角,指出“编辑及创立者吉米·威尔士协同审查,以确保维基百科内容中立性”,故而推测空格句叙述“维基技术如何确保用户发布内容的中立性”。A.指出“维基技术‘可迅速恢复上一编辑版本’的功能可对付‘蓄意破坏行为”’.且no gatekcepers回应allowed anyone to write and publish.与上文衔接顺畅。注:no gatekeepers意指“维基百科对发布人、发布内容无限制”,而空格后提到的“核 心编辑和吉米·威尔士”所起作用为“审核网页内容,时时进行管理、更正”,两者并不矛盾。[排除干扰]C.中the neutral point of view似可与空格前a neutral point of view衔接,但此选项并未解释“维基技术如何维持中立观点”,与前文衔接不畅;且空格后并未阐释“为何在科学和客观可证性话题上.中立观点易于维持,而于政治话题和历史话题,中立观点就难以实现”,选项内容亦与后文脱节。
