问题                     The Rivalry of E-mail Industry
    It looks like a great time for E-mail but a lousy time for E-mail applications. Web-based mail has been gaining ground for years, especially since Google revived the concept by launching Gmail five years ago.
    These days, many home users never bother to download their E-mail, and the only threat Web mail Sites face comes from other sites: the closed confines of social networks. The most popular among them, Facebook, just gained its 200 millionth member, far more than any one Web-mail service.
    In its favor, Web mail offers a simpler setup: You need to know only a user name and a password, without any mysterious mail-server addresses. Once your account is active, you can use it from any Web-connected computer, Web-based mail systems also make it easy to keep a permanent address regardless of your Internet provider. Doing the same with desktop E-mail usually requires paying extra money for a domain name and spending extra time on mail settings.
    By contrast, desktop mail programs let you read and compose mail-without an Internet connection and don’t wrap advertisements around your mail. But their most important advantage is their separation of software and service. Because you can use more than one program with one mail service, you can choose an application with the features and interface you like. And because you can also use one mail program with more than one mail service, desktop applications make your mail itself portable; you can back up your messages and take them with you after closing an account.
    If desktop mail software programmers had kept pace with Web mail developers, the two camps could have a fairly even fight.
    Unfortunately, mail software developers can’t make Internet providers upgrade their mail services, and Interact providers can’t make mail-software developers modify their efforts. Unless that situation somehow changes, Web mail will continue to face few challenges outside of the social networks.
We may infer from Para. 4 that______.
选项 A、advertisements are attached to the mails sent by Web-mails
B、e-mail software also has its advantages users can enjoy
C、users can not use several e-mail softwares at the same time
D、more people would enjoy the portable service of e-mail software
答案A
解析 推理判断题。由题干中的para，4定位到第四段。由第一句可知，桌面邮件软件可以摆脱广告的烦扰，故[A]“网络邮件会在改送邮件时附上广告”为正确答案。[B]“电子邮件软件也有它的优势”是文章中明确指出的内容，不属于推断内容，故排除；第四句提到用户可以选择一款自己喜欢的软件，没有说明是否可以同时使用多款软件，故排除[C]；电子邮件软件的便携性是它的优点之一，可究竟有多少人需要这一服务并不清楚，因此[D]“会有更多的人享受这一特性”没有依据，故排除。
