第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）

阅读下列短文，从每题的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

A

In April 2007, a 16-year-old boy named Charlie McDonnell turned on his laptop computer. He found a website called YouTube and watched a video of another teenager like him. Thinking that he could do better, Charlie made his first video and posted it on YouTube.

YouTube started in 2005 and is now the world’s largest video website. More than 3 billion videos are watched every day on YouTube. These are simply videos of people talking to a camera about their lives or things that interest them.

Two days after Charlie posted his first video, he had 150 visitors, so he decided to make more videos. Soon he became quite popular. A few months later, Oprah Winfrey, the famous American TV hostess, showed one of his videos called How to be English on her programme. In this video, Charlie wears a suit and tie and talks in a funny accent. He shows viewers how to make a cup of tea. Charlie suddenly became very famous in the United States, too.

In January 2008, Charlie had 25,000 visitors. He realized he could use his fame to help other people. On his 18th birthday he raised ￡5,000 for charity by shaving all his hair off live on TV. In 2010 he raised more than four times as much.

With more than one and a half million visitors, Charlie becomes the most popular video blogger in the UK. What is the secret of his success? “I just make the kind of videos that I want to watch,” he says. And when asked how fame has affected him, Charlie says, “I still sit in my bedroom talking to my camera, and that’s what I want to do.” His honesty and modesty are perhaps the main reasons why Charlie is so well liked.

56. When was YouTube founded?

A.
