2.短文阅读试题
Questions 5-8 are based on the following passages。
Passage 1
Line I know what your e-mail in-box looks like, and it isn’t pretty: a babble of come-ons and lies from hucksters and con artists. To find your real e-mail, you must wade through the torrent of fraud and obscenity known politely 5 as “unsolicited bulk e-mail” and colloquially as “spam。”
In a perverse tribute to the power of the online revolution, we are all suddenly getting the same mail: easy weight loss, get-rich-quick schemes, etc. The crush of these messages is now numbered in billions per day. “It’s becoming 10 a major systems and engineering and network problem,” says one e-mail expert. “Spammers are gaining control of the Internet。”
Passage 2
Many people who hate spam assume that it is protected as free speech. Not necessarily so. The United States 15 Supreme Court has previously ruled that individuals may preserve a threshold of privacy. “Nothing in the Constitution compels us to listen to or view any unwanted communication, whatever its merit,” wrote Chief Justice
Warren Burger in a 1970 decision. “We therefore category- 20 cally reject the argument that a vendor has a right to send unwanted material into the home of another。” With regard to a seemingly similar problem, the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 made it illegal in the United States to send unsolicited faxes; why not extend the act to include 25 unsolicited bulk e-mail?
5. The primary purpose of Passage 1 is to
(A) make a comparison
(B) dispute a hypothesis
(C) settle a controversy
(D) justify a distinction
(E) highlight a concern
6. The primary purpose of Passage 2 is to
(A) confirm a widely held belief
(B) discuss the inadequacies of a ruling

(D) analyze a widespread social problem
(E) lay the foundation for a course of action
7. What would be the most likely reaction by the author of Passage 1 to the argument cited in lines 16-21 of Passage 2 (“Nothing . . . another”) ?
(A) Surprise at the assumption that freedom of speech is indispensable to democracy
(B) Dismay at the Supreme Court’s vigorous defense of vendors’ rights
(C) Hope that the same reasoning would be applied to all unsolicited e-mail
(D) Concern for the plight of mass marketers facing substantial economic losses
(E) Appreciation for the political complexity of the debate about spam
8. Unlike the author of Passage 1, the author of Passage 2
(A) criticizes a practice
(B) offers an example
(C) proposes a solution
(D) states an opinion
