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(發(fā)送垃圾郵件) 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.
小題1:What does the underlined word “correspondence” in the Paragraph 1 probably mean?                                                          
A．messagesB．ideasC．connectionsD．programs
小題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.
小題3:According to Paragraph 3,who is the final victim of spam?         
A．The businessB．The advertiser
C．The employeeD．The consumer
小題4:What is the purpose of the text?        
A．To informB．To educateC．To persuadeD．To instruct

小題1:A
小題2:D
小題3:D
小題4:C

試題分析：
小題1:A 推理題。根據(jù)本句I have an endless series of advertisement and other correspondence that do not interest the at all.說(shuō)明改詞作為先行詞，被后面的定語(yǔ)從句修飾，不能讓他們感興趣，說(shuō)明垃圾郵件中有他們不感興趣的信息。故A正確。
小題2:D 細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)第二段2,3行As more and more advertisers turn to spam to sell their products, individual e-mail boxes are often flooded with spam e-mails.說(shuō)明很多公司連用垃圾郵件來(lái)宣傳產(chǎn)品，故D正確。
小題3:D 細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)第三段最后一句These computer problems raise production costs of companies, which are, in the end, passed on to the consumer.說(shuō)明最后這些問(wèn)題都轉(zhuǎn)嫁到了消費(fèi)者身上，故D正確。
小題4:C 主旨大意題。本文敘述了垃圾郵件的危害，是為了呼吁立法部門設(shè)立相關(guān)法律，故C正確，是為了說(shuō)服政府。
點(diǎn)評(píng)：本文敘述了垃圾郵件的危害，是為了呼吁立法部門設(shè)立相關(guān)法律。注意細(xì)節(jié)的掌握和理解。

Remember those big, colorful books with large pictures of balls or apples when you were a little kid? Those have proven to be helpful, according to a number of studies. Between 1 and 5 years old, introducing books to Children can help greatly because this is usually the age when intellectual (智力的) capabilities form.
At age 1 to 5, a child can decide whether he wants to learn or wants to be a good learner. The road to learning starts here. Their curiosity (好奇) and imagination are fed with the many pictures, sounds and colors in the books.
Children normally began school at 5 years old. But today, they go to school when they are as young as one and a half years old. This is because many parents have recognized that influencing the child's formative years (性格形成時(shí)期) is very important. The fight influence can make the child want to read in the future.
Parents should play a part in encouraging children to read. Even just reading them bedtime stories can help children feel the joy and amazement connected to reading. This can help them become better readers and better learners as they grow older.
If children are interested in reading books rather than watching television, they can improve many skills besides reading and learning. Books can act as stepping stones to intelligence. However, parents must be very careful not to overpower their children. If they force children to read books that are too hard to understand, they might think reading is boring and lose interest in it.
小題1:. This passage mainly ­­­______.
A．a(chǎn)dvises kids to spend less time watching TV
B．explains why reading is good for us
C．tells us that reading is good for children
D．suggests that parents spend more time with their kids
小題2:.Why does introducing books to kids between 1 and 5 years old help them greatly?
A．Because this is a good way to keep them away from television.
B．Because it makes them become interested in going to school.
C．Because it helps them learn much faster when they are older.
D．Because it is usually the age when intellectual capabilities form.
小題3:.It is implied in the passage that _____.
A．the writer read a lot of books when he was a child
B．parents should never force their children to do anything
C．the formative years may begin at one and a half years old
D．a(chǎn) child's formative years are earlier than before
小題4:.In the writer’s opinion, _____.
A．children should read all kinds of books

Honey from the African forest is not only a kind of natural sugar, it is also delicious. Most people and many animals like eating it. However, the only way for them to get that honey is to find a wild bees' nest and take the honey from it. Often, these nests are high up in trees, and it is difficult to find them. In parts of Africa, though, people and animals looking for honey have a strange and unexpected helper - a little bird called a honey guide.
The honey guide does not actually like honey, but it does like the wax in the beehives (蜂房). The little bird cannot reach this wax, which is deep inside the bees' nest. So, when it finds a suitable nest, it looks for someone to help it. The honey guide gives a loud cry that attracts the attention of both passing animals and people. Once it has their attention, it flies through the forest, waiting from time to time for the curious animal or person as it leads them to the nest. When they finally arrive at the nest, the follower reaches in to get at the delicious honey as the bird patiently waits and watches. Some of the honey and the wax always falls to the ground, and this is when the honey guide takes its share.
Scientists do not know why the honey guide likes eating the wax, but it is very determined(堅(jiān)定的) in its efforts to get it. The birds seem to be able to smell wax from a long distance away. They will quickly arrive whenever a beekeeper is taking honey from his beehives, and will even enter churches when beeswax candles are being lit.

Can you remember the day when you spoke your first word? If you can, you are unusual. Try to imagine what first few months of your life were like. I am sure you just spent most of your time eating, sleeping and crying. As you grow older, you were awake more of the time. It took your parents more time to play with you and talk to you. You watched and listened curiously. You began to know that people made certain sounds to go with certain things.
Then you began to try making the sounds you heard. And step by step you were able to make the right sound for one thing.On that day you came to understand the secret of language. The secret is that a certain sound means a certain thing. One sound might be as good as another. But it is no good as a word unless everybody agrees on its meaning. Only when a group of people use the same set of sounds of things, can they understand each other. Then, and only then do these people have a LANGUAGE.
After you found the secret of language, you learned words. Some of the words meant things, such as BOOKS, CHAIRS and SHOES. Some words meant doing things, such as GO and SWIM. And other words describe things, such as GOOD and DIRTY. Soon you learned to put words together to express one’s idea, such as “I want to go out and play with my friends.” This is language. By means of language people can communicate. So we say languages are means of communication.
小題1:When you were a little baby, you_________.
A．made sounds to let people know that you wanted to eat

Here's one very simple but lifechanging advice that I first heard from Brian Tracy. Cut down on the TV at night by just one hour. Instead, use that hour to read books that could improve your life.
If you're a salesman, google for the best and most useful books on improving your sales.
This applies (適用) to all fields, not just the work-related (與工作相關(guān)的) ones. Maybe you want to improve your health, become a more energetic person. Or maybe you want to improve your study, your relations or perhaps do some personal development.
One hour a day is not much. But if you read for one hour a day on weekdays, that's about 260 hours a year. That's a large number of books and a lot of useful advice.
If you follow the ideas, who knows what great things and feelings could come into your life. Also, all that information and advice will start to open up your mind. You will start to see more chances in your life.
Now, you might think something like this:
1. I really don't have the money...
Answer: Visit your public library or search the database (數(shù)據(jù)庫(kù)). Or look for books that are used in places like amazon.com.
2. I really don't have the time...
Answer: Buy audiobooks and listen to them in the car while driving to and from work. Or copy them to your MP3-player and listen while riding your bike /bus to work or school. Recently selling audiobooks through MP3-downloads has become popular...
Shut off the TV a little earlier and start reading.
