When I opened my e-mail the other day, a blond woman named Rachel appeared on my computer screen. She greeted me by name and started talking with great enthusiasm. Every now and then she stopped to smile and blow a kiss. I guess that the e-mail she was reading to me came from my brother, and that a lot of it was about the trouble he was having getting the phone company to set up his high-speed Internet hookup. Still, it was pretty cool.
Rachel was there thanks to a new technology called Facemail. Facemail lets you send e-mail that gets read to the recipient (接收者) by an attractive male or female form or by a devil or clown (小丑). The software, which is free, can be downloaded at www.facemail.com. And you can choose the face from an array (列表). If Facemail catches on—yes, I’d have to say that's still as if—it could change e-mail as we know it.
Facemail is about to get a lot more interesting. In a few weeks you will be able to speak into a microphone in your computer and have your own voice read thee-mail you send. The company has signed a deal with Kodak so that sometimes next year you will be able to submit a photo and your own face will be the one reading your e-mail.
The main thing Facemail has for it right now is that it's fun. That's no surprise, since the company's chief executive is Lucie Salhany, founder of UPN and former head of Fox Broadcasting. As its new capabilities kick in, Facemail could become a lot more popular. After all, what grandparent wouldn't prefer e-mail with the voice and picture of a grandchild instead of coldly impersonal text?
1.We can see from this passage the Rachel ________.
A. is a friend of the writer's brother
B. is working at a computer company
C. is an attractive woman hired to read e-mail for others
D. is not a real person
2.How can you get Facemail if you are interested in it?
A. You can get it at a very low price.
B. You can send e-mail at www.facemail.com.
C. You can get it through Internet for nothing.
D. You can place an order at www.facemail.com.
3.Sometime next year, you will _________________.
A. hear your own voice reading your e-mail
B. see your own picture while reading your e-mail
C. have your own face reading e-mail you send others
D. hear your own e-mil read together with your picture
4.We can infer from the second paragraph that the writer ________.
A. doesn't believe that the Facemail would become popular
B. doubts whether Facemail will be hot soon
C. is sure that Facemail will work wonders for e-mail
D. believes that Facemail has a good market ahead of it
5.The writer believes that Facemail could become a lot more popular mainly because ________.
A. it is convenient and fun
B. more and more advanced technology will be used in it
C. Lucie Salhany is in charge of it
D. it can make communications by computer more personal

閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C、D)中選出最佳選項,并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。
Harvard University is on the both sides of the Charles River. The oldest institution of higher learning in the United States was founded in 1636. In 1638 it was named for John Harvard, its first founder. During the 1640s the college was enlarged although it was short of money. Meant to be an institution for the educatiou of Puritan ministers (清教牧師), it grew to be an institution of general education, and new and more subjects and policies (政策) were introduced. In the 18th century, particularly under John Leverett, the number of the students and campus equipment increased while the religious (宗教的) color decreased. In its early years, the college was largely supported by the English colony and the New England community as a whole, but support soon came in the form of gifts, and in 1823 the state money was received for the last time. Under Charles W. Eliot, the college became a great modem university. Its basic courses improved and enlarged, the graduate school was set up for those who finished their four-year undergraduate study, and the law and medical schools were reorganized. Eliot is also famous for his introduction of the elective system at Harvard. Besides Harvard College, the university includes schools of divinity (1816), law (1817), arts and science (1872), education (1920), engineering (1935), reorganization of Lawrence Science School of 1847, public administration (1935). Harvard also has schools of business administration (1908), medicine (1782), public health (1922), and dental health ( 1941 ). Radcliffe College for women is connected with Harvard; its students are taught by Harvard professors and receive diplomas given by Harvard. The university library, among the nation's finest houses over 8 mil- lion volumes, and the Fogg Museum of Art is one of the finest university museums in the world. Harvard is closely connected with a large number of research institutions as well.
