答案与题解：
1.C 从前三段可知，虽然现在每个人仍然都能编辑维基百科中的词条，但其中的一些页面在得到一个“经验丰富”的编辑批准前不会变化。
2.C 第七段说，维基百科新近出台的限制条件冒着降低网民合法编辑词条的积极性这一风险，为了规避这一风险，维基百科把所谓的“经验丰富的编辑”标准设定得很低。
3.D Robert Byrd 是美国民主党的参议员，最近维基百科中关于他的词条被人篡改，错误地宣布他已经死亡。
4.C 从文中可知维基百科现在的对编辑词条的限制条件过于宽松，以致造成了许多尴尬情况发生。
5.D 从最后一段可知，Pierre Omidyar 是eBay 的创始人，因此D 为正确答案。
"My hope is that Wikipedia still exists and is still considered a useful site，" Goldman said. "But it will be at that point a very tightly controlled site. It wont have that veneer of a site that anyone can contribute to. They havent closed the drawbridge2. People can still get in. But it keeps going up and up and up."
Separately， the Omidyar Network， a philanthropic investment group started by eBay founder Pierre Omidyar， said on Tuesday it is committing $2 million over two years to the Wikimedia Foundation. Omidyar Networks grant will support Wikimedias goals of bringing free educational content to people around the world and supporting more people to help create that content.
