26、s 51-56 are based on the following passage. When important events are happening around the world, most people turn to traditional media sources, such as CNN and BBC, for their news. However, during the invasion of Iraq by the United States and its allies in early 2003, a significant number of people
27、 followed the war from the point of view of an anonymous Iraqi citizen who called himself “Salam Pax”(salam means“peace”in Arabic, and pax means“peace”in Latin). Salam Pax wrote a diary about everyday life in Baghdad during the war, and posted it on his web site. Pax online diary was a kind of web s
28、ite known as a“blog.”Blogs, short for“web-logs,”are online diaries, usually kept by individuals, but sometimes by companies and other groups of people. They are the fastest growing type of web site on the Internet.In 2003, there were estimated to be several hundred thousand blogs on the Internet, an
29、d the number was growing by tens of thousands a month. A blog differs from a traditional web site in several ways. Most importantly, it is updated much more regularly. Many blogs are updated every day, and some are updated several times a day. Also, most blogs use special software or web sites which
30、 are specifically aimed at bloggers, so you don need to be a computer expert to create your own blog.This means that ordinary people who may find computers difficult to use can easily set up and start writing their own blog. In 2003, the Internet company AOL introduced their own blogging service, en
31、abling its 35 million members to quickly and easily start blogging. There are many different kinds of blogs. The most popular type is an online diary of links, where the blog writer surfs the Internet and then posts links to sites or news articles that they find interesting, with a few comments abou
32、t each one. Other types are personal diaries, where the writer talks about their life and feelings. Sometimes these blogs can be very personal. There is another kind of blogging, called“moblogging,”short for“mobile blogging.”Mobloggers use mobile phones with cameras to take photos, which are posted
33、instantly to the Internet. In 2003, the first international mobloggers conference was held in Tokyo.The use of mobile phones in this way made the headlines in Singapore when a high school student posted on the Internet a movie he had taken of a teacher shouting atanother student, and tearing up the
34、student homework. Many people were shocked by the student posting a video of the incident on the Internet, and wanted phones with ameras to be banned from schools. Many people think that as blogs become more common, news reporting will rely less on big media companies, and more on ordinary people po
35、sting news to the Internet. They think that then the news will be less like a lecture, and more like a conversation, where anyone can join in. （分数：6.00）(1).What is this passage mainly about? （分数：1.00）A.The history of the InternetB.The war in Iraq.C.New types of media.D.The increase in popularity of

39、rn the news from alternative points of view.D.Blogging technology will be banned.八、Section B (7 points)(总题数：1，分数：7.00)Y (for Yes ) if the statement agrees with the information given in the passage; N (for No) if the statement contradicts the information given in the passage; NG (for Not Given) if th
40、e information is not given in the passage. Questions 57 to 63 are based on the following passage. The Official Residences of the Sovereign and the Royal Collection Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle and the Palace of Holyroodhouse are the official residences of the Sovereign and, as such, serve as bo
41、th home and office for The Queen, whose personal standard flies whenever Her Majesty is in residence. These buildings are used extensively for State ceremonies and official entertaining and are opened to the public as much as these commitments allow. All are furnished with line pictures and works of
42、 art from the Royal Collection, which has been assembled over four centuries by successive sovereigns. Many of the State Apartments and rooms at the official residences have been in continuous use since their conception and many of the works of art are displayed in the rooms for which they were orig
43、inally intended. The official residences are in regular use and the style and manner in which they are shown to visitors reflects their working status. Rooms are kept as close to their normal appearance as possible. Inevitably, opening times are subject to change at short notice, depending on circum
44、stances. The Royal Collection, which is owned by The Queen as Sovereign in trust for her successors and the Nation, is administered by the Royal Collection Trust, to which a proportion of admission fees and other income from visitors is directed. The remainder of this income funds the majority of th
45、e cost of restoring Windsor Castle, which was badly damaged by fire in November 1992. Summer Opening of the State Rooms In 1993 the State Rooms at Buckingham Palace were opened to the public for the first time. The income generated funds the majority of the cost of the restoration of Windsor Castle,
46、 a part of which was badly damaged by fire during the previous year. It has recently been announced that the Summer Opening will continue beyond the completion of this restoration in 1998 and the State Rooms will, therefore, be open during August and September each year. During this time visitors ar
47、e able to tour many of the grandest rooms in the Palace. These are furnished with some of the most important pictures and works of art from the Royal Collection, one of the finest art collections in the world. These rooms, which form the nucleus of the working Palace today, are regularly used by The
48、 Queen and the Royal Family for official entertaining, Court ceremonial and State functions. Entering the Palace via the Ambassadors Entrance and the Quadrangle, visitors arrive at the Guard Room, the traditional entrance to the rooms of the Sovereign. Here the great suite of rooms starts with the Green Drawing Room and includes the Throne Room where loyal addresses are delivered, the Picture Gallery with its outstanding collection of paintings including works by Vermeer, Rubens, Rembrandt, van Dyck and Canaletto, the State Dining Room, the magnificent Blue and White Drawi
