Questions 5-8 are based on the following passages。
Passage 1
Line I know what your e-mail in-box looks like, and it isnt pretty: a babble of come-ons and lies from hucksters and con artists. To find your real e-mail, you must wade through the torrent of fraud and obscenity known politely 5 as unsolicited bulk e-mail and colloquially as spam。
In a perverse tribute to the power of the online revolution, we are all suddenly getting the same mail: easy weight loss, get-rich-quick schemes, etc. The crush of these messages is now numbered in billions per day. Its becoming 10 a major systems and engineering and network problem, says one e-mail expert. Spammers are gaining control of the Internet。
Passage 2
Many people who hate spam assume that it is protected as free speech. Not necessarily so. The United States 15 Supreme Court has previously ruled that individuals may preserve a threshold of privacy. Nothing in the Constitution compels us to listen to or view any unwanted communication, whatever its merit, wrote Chief Justice
Warren Burger in a 1970 decision. We therefore category- 20 cally reject the argument that a vendor has a right to send unwanted material into the home of another。 With regard to a seemingly similar problem, the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 made it illegal in the United States to send unsolicited faxes; why not extend the act to include 25 unsolicited bulk e-mail?

Surprise at the assumption that freedom of speech is indispensable to democracy
Dismay at the Supreme Courts vigorous defense of vendors rights
Hope that the same reasoning would be applied to all unsolicited e-mail
Concern for the plight of mass marketers facing substantial economic losses
Appreciation for the political complexity of the debate about spam
8. Unlike the author of Passage 1, the author of Passage 2
