serious problems.He especially warns of false information being easily spread around the Internet，“A great danger is that it becomes a place where untruths start to spread more than truths，or it becomes a place which becomes increasingly unfair in some way.”In particular he mentions the phenomena of blogging.Blogging enables friends and contacts to easily spread information.However he argues that people may too easily trust information mentioned in a blog.This inaccurate information can then easily become an accepted truth on the Internet.He suggests that the most important development of the Internet will be in creating ways of allowing people to check the correctness of information by providing original sources.Sir Tim admits that this is an important challenge.Its interesting to note that Wikipedia(维基百科)has had to take steps to prevent false information from being added to the biographies of living people.Its easy for anybody to edit the open source.However，some people have pointed out that it has been used to spread false materials.In seeking to raise standards，Wikipedia has sought to stop the false materials.At the same time there is a growing view that the Internet has had a great effect on the way millions of people work.The last two years have seen a big growth in the use of the Internet.There appears no slowdown in the growth of the Internet with increasing access in the developing countries.Sir Tim says another major challenge will be to provide free Internet for everybody.Sir Tim has recently launched a new joint initiative (倡议)between the University of Southampton and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to create the first degree in Web science.The two schools hope to raise the standards of web content.1What is the especially serious problem that Sir Tim refers to?AThe growth of the Internet is too fast.BThe Internet has a side effect on young children.CThe Internet companies compete against each other in an unfair way.DThe false information spreads rapidly on the Internet.2What causes the biographies to have false information?AThe Internet users refuses other users to correct them.BWikipedia doesnt take any steps.CAnybody can easily edit the biographies.DWikipedia attempts to publish false materials.3According to the last paragraph，the purpose of the joint initiative is to _.Aprovide free Internet access to the poor countriesBimprove the reliability of online contentCcreate the first degree in science and technologyDenlarge the use of the Internet4We can infer from the text that _.ASir Tim has built two schools
