问题     Stop Spam !
    When I first got an e-mail 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 advertisements and other correspondence that do not interest me at all. If we want e-mails to continue to be useful, we need specific laws that make spamming(发送垃圾邮件) a crime.
    If law makers do not do something soon to prohibit spam, the problem will certainly get much worse. Computer programs allow spammers to send hundreds of millions of e-mails almost instantly. As more and more advertisers turn to spam to sell their products, individual(个人的) 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 e-mails contain computer viruses that can shut down the entire network of a company. Companies rely on e-mails 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, passes 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.
What does the underlined word "correspondence" in the Paragraph 1 probably mean?
选项 A、Messages.
B、Ideas.
C、Connections.
D、Programs.
答案A
解析 A项表示“信息”；B项表示“思想，想法”；C项表示“联系”；D项表示“节目”。 由句中和“correspondence”并列的“advertisement”知其和电子广告类似，因此A是正确答案。
