The world will run out of Internet addresses within weeks, according to one of the founding fathers of the Web.
Vint Cerf, who helped create the Web by connecting computers using Internet Protocol(协议)(IP)addresses, said it was his fault that the 4. 3 billion addresses
created were running out.
“I thought it was an experiment and I thought that 4. 3 billion addresses would be enough to do the experiment, ” Cerf, who is Google’s vice president and Chief Internet Evangelist, said, “Who the hell knew how much address space we needed?”
In 1977, Cerf created the Web protocol IPv4, which connects computers globally, as part of the experiment while working with the US Department of Defense. He said he never expected his experiment “wouldn’t end” . “It doesn’t mean the network stops, it just means you can’t build it very well. ” Cerf said.
IP addresses are the unique sequence of numbers assigned to each computer, websites or other Internet-connected devices. They are not the same as website domain names. The overwhelming number of devices now accessing the Internet means the addresses are running out fast. To resolve the crisis, an updated protocol for the Internet, IPv6, currently being planned by the industry, will create trillions of addresses.
As Google’s vice president Cerf said he thought the new chief executive of Google, Larry Page, was ready to lead the company into the future. In a surprise move, Google announced that co-founder Larry Page would replace Eric Schmidt as chief executive.
Eric Schmidt, 55, a former chief executive of Novell, will remain with Google as executive chairman, focusing on deals, partnerships, customers and government outreach. He will also act as an adviser to Larry Page, 37, who served as CEO previously, from 1998 to 2001.
Cerf said Eric Schmidt had been chief executive for 10 years—a nice round number—and Larry Page was ready to lead the company into the future. “Larry Page and Sergey Brin are 10 years older than they were when they thoughtfully hired Eric Schmidt to be the CEO, so everybody is growing up, ” Cerf said. 55. According to the text, Cerf .
A. should be responsible for the lack of Internet addresses B. didn’t expect the great demand for Internet addresses C. was regretful for creating so many Internet addresses D. completely failed in his experiment in 1977

D. business
57. According to the text, IPv6 is the name of . A. computers

58. Why was Larry Page appointed as chief executive of Google? Because he was able .
A. to make Google take the lead
B. to manage the business of deals and customers C. to make Google become a technology giant D. to fight against other Internet search engines
