41、w it seems that every time I check my email,I have an endless series of advertisements and other correspondence that do not interest me at all.If we want email to continue to be useful,we need specific laws that make spamming(发送垃圾邮件)a crime.If lawmakers do not do something soon to prohibit spam,the
42、problem will certainly get much worse.Computer programs allow spammers to send hundreds of millions of emails almost instantly.As more and more advertisers turn to spam to sell their products,individual(个人的) email boxes are often flooded with spam emails.Would people continue to use email if they ha
43、d to deal with an annoying amount of spam each time?This problem is troubling for individuals and companies as well.Many spam emails contain computer viruses that can shut down the entire network of a company.Companies rely on email for their employees to communicate with each other.Spam frequently

45、 the end,passed on to the consumer.For these reasons,I believe that lawmakers need to legislate(立法) against spam.Spammers should be fined,and perhaps sent to prison if they continue to disturb people.Email is a tool which helps people all over the world to communicate conveniently,but spam is destro

48、s through spam.提示:推理判断题。根据文章第二段的“As more and more advertisers turn to spam to sell their products,individual(个人的) email boxes are often flooded with spam e-mails.”可知,个人信箱之所以会收到越来越多的垃圾邮件,是因为广告商开始通过大量发送邮件来销售他们的产品。故只有 D 项符合题意。答案:D45.According to Paragraph 3,who is the final victim of spam?A.The busines
49、s.B.The advertiser.C.The employee.D.The consumer.提示:细节理解题。根据文章第三段的最后一句“These computer problems raise production costs of companies,which are,in the end,passed on to the consumer.”可知,垃圾邮件中含有的病毒对公司的网络造成的损失,增加了产品的费用,这反过来最终又转嫁到消费者的头上。所以消费者是最终的受害者。故 D 项符合题意。答案:D46.What is the purpose of the text?A.To inform. B.To educate.C.To persuade. D.To instruct.提示:主旨大意题。文章的最后一段是本文的主题段落。前三段通过具体的事实告诉人们垃圾邮件的危害,最后一段和文章的标题相呼应,点出了作者的写作目的:劝说立法者制定出相应的法律,惩戒垃圾邮件的发送者,恢复电子邮件对我们生活的方便之处。故只有 C 项符合题意。答案:CDOne often hears that
