Wikipedia has become the world’s largest reference work. It is setting a blistering pace with more than 1000 new English-language articles being added each day. Its success has attracted harsh criticism from predictable quarters. In an article published recently on Tech Central Station website, Robert McHenry, former editor-in-chief of Encyclopaedia Britannica, disdainfully said that using Wikipedia was like visiting a public restroom. McHenry’s vain attempt to turn up the heat is ironic because it is the old-fangled encyclopedia publishers who are on the hot seat. Wikipedia will put many of them in deep trouble within the next few years.

Internet users have been voting with their clicks. Traffic to Wikipedia’s 72 servers on any given day exceeds 80 million hits. Wikipedia articles are cited increasingly by mainstream newspapers and magazines. Encyclopedia publishers lambaste Wikipedia’s reliability, but their outrage has blinded them to a sea change in their core market. The way people research and learn in the Internet age is vastly different than it was only a decade ago, and if they fail to adapt, they will suffer.

How did Wikipedia get started? Jimmy Wales, Wikipedia’s co-founder and leader, began with a simple yet

counterintuitive idea: create an open encyclopedia that anyone can contribute to. (The name Wikipedia comes from the “wiki” sort of collaborative software that powers the website.) The project adopted a few canny rules of order: whenever someone edits an article, a new version of the article is created and saved. This is important because Wikipedia is an open-content project. Such projects are fuelled by the prestige and social standing derived by the contributors from the work that they do. Your contribution to an article, no matter how small, is kept for posterity and clearly identified as such.

The continual creation of new versions also discourages antisocial behavior—vandalized articles can be easily reverted. Each article has a separate page where authors can discuss their changes and air their differences. To reduce bias, Wikipedia’s policy is to present a neutral point of view that fairly represents all sides.

(A) Any changes to the articles can be easily undone.
(B) Jimmy Wales forbids the opening of Wikipedia to the public.
(C) Wikipedia is open for editing only to people with high social standing.

(A) McHenry, the former editor-in-chief, is not willing to start the heat.
(B) Wikipedia is more often cited than its traditional counterparts.
(C) They cannot wait to change their poor situation they are facing now.
(D) They are turning up the heat of Wikipedia.

請依下文回答第 46 題至第 50 題： Ever since he was little, Larry had been fascinated by balloons and fantasized about using them to fly. When he was 33, he decided to 46 his dream come true. He bought an aluminum garden chair, 42 weather balloons and an air gun to shoot the balloons when he was ready to land. He also got a parachute, just 47 . Larry planned to fly 483 kilometers across the Mojave Desert. He tied the chair down with ropes and attached the helium-filled balloons to it. Then, he sat down in the chair with his gun and parachute. He was ready to go. When Larry’s friends untied one rope, 48 , the other rope broke, and Larry and his chair rose rapidly into the sky. He ascended much more quickly and much higher than he had expected. Before he knew it, he was 5,000 meters above the ground. The trip wasn’t turning out the way Larry had planned. He was high up in the sky 49 the air was thin and cold. Shivering with cold, Larry decided to 50 , but he couldn’t because he had dropped his gun during his ascent.

The devolution of immigration policing authority from the federal to local governments represents a sharp break with a long-established tradition of federal control over all aspects of immigration enforcement. In the past, state and local police forces played only a supportive role in immigration affairs, sometimes sharing information about those they had detained as criminal suspects or assisting in enforcement actions. The federal government could not require local governments to do immigration policing. Police powers were constitutionally reserved for the states and their jurisdictional subunits, an arrangement that provided localities with significant flexibility and autonomy. However,with the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act (AEDPA) and the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act (IIRIRA), the federal government has created an opening for localities to ask their police officers to be trained by and to join the federal government in enforcing immigration laws within the interior of the United States.Thus, beginning in 2002, informal working relationships between local police and federal immigration agents have developed. For example, some local police departments are now seeking formal training from federal immigration authorities. Federal agents are also embedded in some police departments to assist in enforcement of drug and human smuggling laws. A number of state prisons and local jails send the names of criminal suspects to federal authorities to be checked for immigration violations. And an increasing number of police departments are electing to do their own immigration status checks. Such an increased involvement of state and local police departments in immigrant affairs has given rise to what some observers are calling "immigration federalism."
【題組】60 What may the term "immigration federalism" (last line) most likely mean?
(A)Sharing of powers on immigration between the federal and state governments.
(B)All the immigration agents in the U.S.
(C) Immigrants coming from all parts of the world.
(D) The sole legitimate federal authority in immigration policing.
