Unsolicited commercial electronic mail is currently estimated to account for over half of all electronic
26、mail traffic, up from an estimated 7 percent in 2001, and the volume continues to rise. Most of these messages are fraudulent or deceptive in one or more respects. The receipt of unsolicited commercial electronic mail may result in costs to recipients who cannot refuse to accept such mail and who in
27、cur costs for the storage of such mail, or for the time spent accessing, reviewing, and discarding such mail, or for both. The receipt of a large number of unwanted messages also decreases the convenience of electronic mail and creates a risk that wanted electronic mail messages, both commercial and
28、 noncommercial, will be lost, overlooked, or discarded amidst the larger volume of unwanted messages, thus reducing the reliability and usefulness of electronic mail to the recipient. Some commercial electronic mail contains material that many recipients may consider vulgar or pornographic in nature
29、. The growth in unsolicited commercial electronic mail imposes significant monetary costs on providers of Internet access services, businesses, and educational and nonprofit institutions that carry and receive such mail, as there is a finite volume of mail that such providers, businesses, and instit
30、utions can handle without further investment in infrastructure. Many senders of unsolicited commercial electronic mail purposefully disguise the source of such mail. Many senders of unsolicited commercial electronic mail purposefully include misleading information in the messages“ subject lines in o
31、rder to induce the recipients to view the messages. While some senders of commercial electronic mail messages provide simple and reliable ways for recipients to reject (or “opt-out“ of) receipt of commercial electronic mail from such senders in the future, other senders provide no such “opt-out“ mec
32、hanism, or refuse to honor the requests of recipients not to receive electronic mail from such senders in the future, or both. Many senders of bulk unsolicited commercial electronic mail use computer programs to gather large numbers of electronic mail addresses on an automated basis from Internet we
33、bsites or online services where users must post their addresses in order to make full use of the website or service. The problems associated with the rapid growth and abuse of unsolicited commercial electronic mail cannot be solved by the government alone. The development and adoption of technologic
34、al approaches and the pursuit of cooperative efforts with other countries will be necessary as well.（分数：10.00）(1).According to the passage, efficiency of e-mail is threatened by _.（分数：1.00）A.heavy e-mail trafficB.fraudulent e-mail messagesC.large volume of messagesD.increasing amount of unwanted e-m

In the earliest months, messages from nurturers constitute the child“s basic understanding of the world around it. This is the infant“s first introduction to the language that shapes perception and elicits emotion. An
41、other powerful source of information and socialization is the friendship of peers. Peers are equals that one can deal with on the same level as oneself, whereas parents are superiors.
