　　The Net Cost of Making a Name for Yourself

　　Companies are paying up to $10,000 to register a domain name1 on the Internet even though there is no guarantee that they will get the name they want.

　　The task of registering domains ending in . com, . org, . edu and . net is at present contracted out by the US government to the Virginia-based company Network Solutions. The contract runs out2 this year, and the government wants to bring in a different scheme.

　　But last year, an ad hoc3 committee of the Internet’s great and good4 revealed its own plan. This involved setting up seven new domains, each indicating the kind of business or organisation using that name5. The committee recruited 88 companies around the world to act as registrars for its . firm, . shop, . web, . arts, . rec, . info and . nom domains. The US government has still to give the system its blessing6, and may yet push ahead with7 its original scheme. Despite this, the 88 registrars have heen taking applications for several months. They are due to8 start registering names this month with the Internet Council of Registrars, which grew out of the ad hoc committee.

　　To prevent conflicting names from being registered, the council will take one name from each registrar in turn before going back for the second name in their queues, and so on. This has led to a flourishing trade, with companies trying to buy a place near the head of the queue. Global Names of Singapore is charging $10,000 to make sure a request for a name is the first one it sends off to the central database. Other registrars are charging nonrefundable deposits for places at the top of the queue. David Maher, chairman of the Policy Oversight Committee that is helping to set up and oversee the system, says that all registrars are subject to9 local laws regarding consumer protection and competition. But he says that the committee “will not act as an enforcement body10 in this area.” 词汇： domain /dEu5mein/n.领域，范围 queue /kju:/n.(排队等候的)队伍 scheme /ski:m/n.计划.方案 nonrefundable /9nCnrI`fQndEbl/adj.不能退款的 ad hoc /5Ad5hCk/adj.专门的，特别的 oversee /5EuvE5si:/v.监督，监管registrar /7redVis5trB:/n.注册处注释:

　　答案与题解 :

　　1. B从第二段可知， .edu等四个域名已由美国政府承包给 the company Network Solutions，目前的所有权或是

　　使用权仍在该公司。

　　2. B 从文章第三段中 The US government has still to give the system its blessing …这句话可知，对题中所列出

　　的七个域名美国政府并不参与其运作。

　　3. B通过昀后一段第三、四句可得出答案。

　　4. A 从昀后一段可找出答案。 Policy Oversight Committee只不过起构建域名注册系统以及监督的作用，文中并

　　未提及注册域名需得到他们的同意。

　　5. B 这里的“net”是一个双关语，它可解释为“净”，如: net cost (净代价)。同时还有“网”的意思，如 : Internet。

　　从本文判断，后者的意义是主要的。所以选项 B应是昀恰当的。
