　　You’ve probably heard a lot about the Internet, but what is it?

　　The Internet is a computer network that uses the telephone system to link together millions of computers around the world．

　　Maybe that doesn’t sound exciting, but once you’re connected to the Internet, there are lots and lots of different things you can do．You can send electronic messages or “E-mail” to your friends(as long as they’re on the Internet too), or you can sort(挑出, 拣出)through all sorts of information on something called the World Wide Web．

　　You don’t need to know how the Internet works in order to use it, but if you understand the basics, it may help you solve any technical problem you have－and of course you can impress your friends with your Net knowledge!

　　You may think that your telephone is just for talking．But as long as you have the right equipment, you can use a telephone line to transmit computer data(数据)as well as sounds．If you plug your computer into the telephone system it can receive information from and send information to other computers(as long as they are plugged into the telephone system too)．

　　Computer data is made up of electronic signals(讯息)．A computer language called TCP/IP

　　(which stands for Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol, if you like to know these things)is used to move computer data around the Internet．Many of the links, for example, those which send out computer data across the Atlantic Ocean, are special fiber optic cables(光导纤维电缆),

　　fiber optic cables use light to send out information．They can carry a lot more data than an ordinary telephone line and they send it a lot faster!

High-tech machines have made life easier for millions around the world. However, some people still prefer low-tech ways of doing things. Here’s an example of why this is happening. You can microwave a frozen hamburger in 60 seconds. However, it won’t taste as good as one you cook on the stove. And if you’re in that much of a hurry, you probably won’t take time to toast the bun. High-tech cooking saves time, but it doesn’t make for better-tasting meals.

Most people get their news from high-tech sources like television or the Internet. This has many advantages. For example, electronic news is more up to date than newspapers or magazines. It’s also more exciting to see live and videotaped news events than photographs. However, newspapers and magazines have some important advantages. They give more background and details. They also let you read the parts that are important to you and skip the rest.

Other high-tech timesavers have similar disadvantages. For examples, most people use the phone or e-mail to stay in touch with friends and family members who live in other places. But when you use the Internet or the phone, you don’t always think carefully about what you are saying, and sometimes you forget the important things you want to communicate. Similarly, when you word-process a homework assignment instead of handwriting it, you can check your spelling electronically and put in fancy headings. However, some students are so busy with the computer that they don’t pay enough attention to the actual words they are writing.

Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A. The writer likes high-tech cooking.

B. Low-tech cooking produces better-tasting meals.

C. High-tech news programs always keep you reading what is important to you.

D. Handwritten homework is better than word-processed homework.

How does the writer feel about high-tech tool?

A. Better late than never. B. Easy come, easy go.

C. Every coin has two sides. D. Learn to walk before you run.

What is the main subject discussed in the text?

A. High-tech vs. low-tech.

B. Advantages vs. disadvantages.

C. Newspapers and magazines vs. television and the Internet.

D. Word-processing vs. handwriting.

He sent me an E-mail, _____ to get further information.

阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后的要求答题（请注意问题后的字数要求）。
[1] I was walking in the park with a friend recently, and his cell phone rang, interrupting our conversation. There we were, walking and talking on a beautiful sunny day. But I became invisible, absent from the conversation.
[2] The telephone used to connect you to the absent. Now it makes people sitting next to you feel absent. Recently I was in a car with three friends. The driver told us to be quiet because he could not hear the person on the other end of his cell phone. There we were, four friends going down the highway, unable to talk to one another because of a tool designed to make communication easier.
[3]Why is it that the more connected we get, ________________________ ? Every advance in communications technology is a hurt to the closeness of human interaction (互动). With e-mail and instant messaging over the Internet, we can now communicate without seeing or talking to one another. With voice mail, you can conduct entire conversations without ever reaching anyone.
[4] More and more, l find myself hiding behind e-mail to do a job meant for conversation. Or being relieved that voice mail picked up because I didn’t really have time to talk. The industry devoted to helping me keep in touch is making me lonelier.
[5] So I've put myself on technology restriction: no instant messaging with people who live near me, no cell-phoning in the presence of friends, no letting the voice mail pick up when I' m home.

When I first got an email account ten years ago, I received communications only from family, friends, and colleagues. Now it seems that every time I check my e-mail, I have an endless series of advertisement and other correspondence that do not interest the at all. If we want e-mail to continue to be useful, we need special laws that make spamming(发送垃圾邮件) a crime.
If lawmakers do not do something soon to prohibit spam, the problem will certainly get much worse. Computer programs allow spammers to spend hundreds of millions of e-mails almost instantly. As more and more advertisers turn to spam to sell their products, individual e-mail boxes are often flooded with spam e-mails. Would people continue to use e-mail if they had 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 e-mail on for their employees to communicate with each other. Spam frequently causes failures in their local communications networks, and their employees are thus unable to communicate effectively. Such a situation results in a loss of productivity and requires companies to repeatedly repair their networks. These computer problems raise production costs of companies, which are, in 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. E-mail is a tool which helps people all over the world to communicate conveniently, but spam is destroying this convenience.
【小题1】What does the underlined word “correspondence” in the Paragraph 1 probably mean?

【小题2】According to the text, what is the major cause of the flooding spam?

A．Companies rely on e-mail for communications.

B．More people in the world communicate by e-mail.

C．Many computer viruses contain spam e-mail.

D．More advertisers begin to promote sales through spam.

【小题3】According to Paragraph 3,who is the final victim of spam?

A．The business	B．The advertiser
C．The employee	D．The consumer

【小题4】What is the purpose of the text?
