问题    Read the texts from a magazine article about supervision over the Internet. For questions 61 to 65,match the name of each person to one of the statements ( A to G) given below. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET.
   Article One:
   Freedom was allegedly built into the very bones of the Internet, designed to withstand nuclear blasts and dictatorial attempts at control. While this cyberslack has its downside-porn, credit-card fraud and insincere bids on eBay-it was considered a small price to pay for free speech and friction free business models. The freedom genie was out, and no one could put it back into the bottle.
   Article Two:
   It’s possible that nothing would be allowed to even appear on the Internet without having a proper technical authorization. Basically ,it’s part of a huge effort to transform the Net from an arena where anyone can anonymously participate to a sign-in affair where tamperproof" digital certificates" identify who you are. The advantages of such a system are clear: it would eliminate identity theft and enable small, secure electronic" microtransactions," long a dream of Internet commerce pioneers. ( Another bonus: farewell, unwelcome spam. )
   Article Three:
   The giants of Internet commerce are eager to see this happen. "The social, economic and legal priorities are going to force the Internet toward security," says Stratton Selavos, CEO of VeriSign, a company built to provide digital certificates (it also owns Network Solutions, the exclusive handler of the" dot-com" part of the Internet domain-name system). "It’s not going to be all right not to know who’s on the other end of the wire. "Governments will be able to tax e-commerce--and dictators can keep track of who’s saying what.
   Article Four:
   Restrictive copyright and Homeland Security laws give a legal rationale to" total control," and also knows that it will be sold to the people as a great way to stop thieves, pirates, malicious hackers, spammers(兜售非索要信息者) and child pornographers. "To say we need total freedom isn’t going to win," Lessig says. He is working hard to promote alternatives’ in which the law can be enforced outside the actual architecture of the system itself but admits that he considers his own efforts somewhat quixotic (充满理想主义幻想的人物)
   Article Five:
   Here are pockets of technologists scheming to bypass even a rigidly controlled Internet. In one paper published by, of all people, some of Microsoft’s Palladium (希腊智慧女神帕拉斯的神像)developers, there’s discussion of a scenario where small private "dark nets” can freely move data in a hostile environment. Picture digital freedom fighters huddling in the electronic equivalent of caves, file-swapping and blogging under the radar of censors and copyright cops.
   Now match each of the articles to the appropriate statement.
   Note: there are two extra statements.
                            Statements
   [A] Countermeasures of creative technologists in a hostile cyberspace.
   [B] How to balance the advantages and disadvantages of supervised cyberspace is a headache to researchers.
   [C] Identity theft has run out of control due to ready availability of personal digital information on Internet.
   [D] Despite some downside, cyberspace used to be a free arena for speech and business.
   [E] Technical authorization is required to make the Internet a safer platform for business transactions.
   [F] The prospect of Internet is hard to tell.
   [G] Social, economic and legal considerations prioritize cyber-security.
