Did you know that a new weblog is being created each second? Many of these bloggers are teenagers. While their parents wrote in a diary to express their emotions, or shared their interests by spending time with friends, teens are now using blogs instead. In fact, in the US, one in every five school-aged teens has a blog. Most of these are just chatter, some are funny or clever, but a few have become Internet success.

For example, Chloe Spencer’s blog ‘Neopets Fanatic’ gets around 300,000 hits per month. When Chloe was 15, she started the blog out of her strong liking for Neopets, a kind of pet website. One reason her blog has so many visitors is because she gives instructions and tips for the popular pet site.

Then there is Tavi Gevinson’s blog ‘Style Rookie’. It is said to get 1.5 million hits per month. Tavi, who started her blog when she was just 12, puts up her photos of her own clothes online as well as designers’ collections. Tavi’s blog has caught on because she knows a lot about style for someone so young, and she is not afraid to try out unusual clothes or see things in a different way.

Blogs like these are interesting, but they only become really popular after better-known websites link to them or they get noticed by the media(傳媒). For example, Tavi’s blog became an overnight(一夜之間) success after being written about in The New York Times. Popular blogs can even earn money, usually from advertisements that companies pay to put up on the bloggers’ sites.

So for some, blogging is just a recreation(消遣), but for others, it can become a source of income and even a full-time job!

試題分析：這篇短文講述的是現(xiàn)在很多青少年都寫博客，一些人的博客還非常的受歡迎，有很高的點擊率，文章中給出了兩個例子。這些博客之所以成功是有原因的，不僅有網(wǎng)站的鏈接和媒體的關(guān)注，更有巨大的商業(yè)利益。

1.推理判斷題。這篇文章告訴我們很多青少年都有微博，他們經(jīng)常在微博上討論一些有趣的事情，或是抒發(fā)自己的情感。所以現(xiàn)在的年輕人要比他們的父母有更多的交流方式。故選A。B選項意為青少年比他們的父母分享更多的感情，這不是文章的主要內(nèi)容；C選項意為現(xiàn)在的青少年比他們的父母更經(jīng)常寫日記，這個表述不符合文意；D選項意為青少年交的朋友更多，這也不是文章的主要內(nèi)容。

2.詞意猜測題。這個單詞在文章的第一段最后一句話Most of these are just chatter, some are funny or clever, but a few have become Internet success.，因為句中已出現(xiàn)了funny和clever兩詞，故這里我們可以排除A、B；C選項意為嚴肅的，認真的；D選項意為不重要的。因為這句話告訴我們大部分的人都只是聊天，還有一些是有趣的，聰明的，很少能在網(wǎng)上成功的。故這里應該是說在微博上他們討論的話題是不重要的。故選D。

3.推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章的第二段和第三段我們可知，這兩個人都是比較成功的青少年博主，Chloe Spencer是一個寵物愛好者，而Tavi Gevinson熱愛時尚。故選B。

4.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章的第二段When Chloe was 15, she started the blog out of her strong liking for Neopets, a kind of pet website可知，Chloe非常喜歡這個寵物網(wǎng)站Neopets，故她是一個寵物愛好者。故選B。

5.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章的最后一段內(nèi)容可知，Tavi’s blog became an overnight(一夜之間) success Tavi的博客一夜之間出名了，故C是正確的。根據(jù)文章第三段的第一句話可知Tavi Gevinson的博客每個月有150萬的點擊率，可見她的博客是非常出名的，故排除A；B、D兩項在文中沒有提到。故選C。

6.主旨大意題。這篇短文主要給我們講述的是現(xiàn)在很多青少年都有博客，并且還有一些人的博客很有名，這些人的成功是因為有網(wǎng)站的鏈接，或者有傳媒的注意。這些受歡迎的博客還能通過博主網(wǎng)頁上的廣告來賺錢。故選D。

考點：社會現(xiàn)象類短文閱讀。

閱讀下面的短文，并完成短文后的任務。

Draw a giraffe in your mind. How did you draw your giraffe? Does it have a long neck? Does it have long legs? Is it really tall? When people think of giraffes, they think of their long necks. A long neck and four long legs make the giraffe the tallest land animal on earth. A giraffe is 1.8m tall when it is born, and some giraffes get up to 6m tall when they are all grown up.
But did you know that giraffes also have long tongues? Have you seen the tongue of a giraffe before? A giraffe has a very long tongue which can hold and wrap (包) around objects. The tongue is designed for feeding, but it can be used in many different ways. For example, a giraffe can close its nose with its long tongue completely to keep out sand and dust. Also, a giraffe’s tongue is long enough to clean its owner’s ears as well!
The tongue is black in colour to protect it from getting sunburnt (曬傷). It is nearly 56cm long. Giraffe only eat plants, and a full grown giraffe can eat 33kg of leaves a day. When giraffes look for some tall trees to eat, they sometimes fight with elephants for food. Giraffes use their tongue to eat leaves from some tall trees. The giraffe’s tongue is a helpful tool for reaching leaves and breaking off branches.
