Some people collect stamps. Other people collect works of art or musical instruments. But a man in the American state of Maryland collects secrets.
For the past 10 years, people have been sending Frank Warren postcards and other objects with secrets written on them. He now has a million secrets. “It’s a drawing of a lift. And the secret says: ‘I feel guilty when I take lifts for one floor, so I limp when I get out.’” Frank said.
Ten years ago, Mr. Warren created an art project called PostSecret. People then began to send him postcards, other objects and emails telling their secrets. Every Sunday, he chooses 10 secrets and puts them on the website.
Mr. Warren says he created PostSecret so people could share their secrets in a safe place. “I was struggling with secrets in my own life. And it was by creating this safe place where others could share their secrets with me, I think that space was something I needed just as much as they did.”
He has published six books full of the secrets people have shared with him. One secret in each book is his. Eric Perry delivers mail for the U.S. Postal Service. He has brought thousands of secrets to Frank’s home over the past three years. “I have a couple of the books that Frank’s given me and I’ve read them all and my family has read them all and it’s wild!”
The project itself was once one of Frank’s secrets. His wife Jan didn’t know exactly what he was doing until the first book was published. The publisher told him that the address was going to be on the book, and he refused. However, the address was there just because of the contract between them. Actually Warren wasn’t very happy about that.
Some people tell Frank of their secret desire to kill themselves. So he and the PostSecret community have raised more than $1 million to help prevent suicides(自杀).
1.It is implied in Mr. Warren’s words in Paragraph 2 that ________.
A. the person was ashamed of using an elevator for one floor
B. Americans are not allowed to use an elevator for one floor
C. the person felt guilty when pretending to be a disabled one
D. he has received different secrets about using an elevator
2.Mr. Warren created PostSecret in order to ________.
A. satisfy his curiosity about others’ secrets
B. collect more materials for his series of books
C. offer a safe place for people to share their secrets
D. earn a lot of money by sharing others’ secrets online
3.What do we know about Eric Perry from the passage?
A. His family are eager to collect the books written by Frank.
B. His main job is to deliver mails and postcards for Frank.
C. He has been a postman who has a great many secrets.
D. He has developed a good relationship with Frank.

科目:高中英语 来源:2016届吉林实验中学高三上第三次模拟英语试卷(解析版) 题型:阅读理解
Wikipedia (维基百科) is a non-profit website funded by donations, started on 15th January, 2001. “Wiki” means “quick” in the Hawaiian language. These days, most people go straight to Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia (百科), to look something up. But how reliable is it?
The site attracts 78 million visitors every month, and it is available in more than 270 different languages. It’s one of the most comprehensive (综合的) resources available, and it’s got much more information than an ordinary encyclopedia. The site is updated on a daily basis by thousands of people around the world. Anyone with an Internet connection can look through and edit the contents or add a new page at any time. And you don’t need any formal training.
Of course, there are some controls. Wikipedia has a team of more than 1,500 administrators who check for false information. And main targets for horrible comments (such as politicians) are forbidden to public editing. But with more than 16 million articles to keep an eye on, it isn’t easy. So, while Wikipedia benefits from being constantly updated with information from all over the world, it’s also open to “vandals”(故意捣乱者).
Some of the damage is easy to notice. Someone drew horns and a moustache on Microsoft chairman Bill Gates’ photo. But other things are harder to spot. The most common form of vandalism involves adding tiny items of false information into the biography of a famous person. Unbelievably, some of this misinformation has appeared in newspapers, with The Daily Mail, The Guardian and The Independent all having fallen victim to the tricks. For example, in an obituary (讣告) for British comedian Sir Norman Wisdom, one newspaper claimed that he co-wrote Dame Vera Lynn’s wartime song “There’ll be Bluebirds over the White Cliffs of Dover”. In fact, he did no such thing.
So if you’re going to use any information from Wikipedia, make sure you double-check it first.
1.What do we know about Wikipedia?
A. It makes profits from its users.
B. It is run by the Hawaiian government.
C. It provides a huge amount of information.
D. It is the most popular website worldwide.
2.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. 78 million people visit Wiki each day
B. To forbid wrong public editings is quite easy
C. Formal education is needed to do editing for Wifi
D. Some people change the information on Wiki just for fun
3. The example of Norman Wisdom’s obituary is used to show _________.
A. Wikipedia sometimes contains false information
B. some newspapers like The Guardian are irresponsible
C. Norman Wisdom is unpopular with some people
D. Wikipedia affects people’s lives greatly
4.What does the author advise readers to do?
A. To look through Wikipedia frequently.
B. To update Wikipedia on a daily basis.
C. To turn to other websites for valid information.
D. To be careful when using the information from Wikipedia.
