从今天开始在ALEX手底下干活喽~~~ 先发个综合吧~~~木有掐时间呀~~写了好多字,好啰嗦好啰嗦~~~~掩面!!!
The professor in the lecture refutes the opinion in the reading passage by saying that even though there may be some problems caused by online encyclopedias, those problems are just a small price considering the huge value it has.
In the first place, the reading part talks about errors and the lack of academic credentials. However, the speaker contradicts this point by pointing out that those mistakes are much less than those of traditional, printed encyclopedias. Although there are some mistakes there, they can be more easily corrected online instead of remaining offline for decades.
In the second place, the writer claims that unscrupulous users or hackers change important entries. So we may lose the original one. However, the speaker points out 2 methods to prevent hackers efficiently. One is that the crucial facts in the articles are set to read-only form, which means no one can change them. The other method is to have special editors whose job is to monitor those articles.
In the third place, the reading part shows that it is hard to determine what is important and what is not. But the professor tells us that since traditional encyclopedias have limited space, they are facing the choice talked above. Limited space is never a problem for communal encyclopedias. What is more, this diversity of materials is one of the strongest advantages of communal encyclopedias.
In conclusion, the professor in the listening part holds the opposite opinion about the topic in the reading material. She believes that the advantages of communal online encyclopedias carry more weight, although there are of course some drawbacks. |
