       File-sharing occurs whenever one individual sends a file to another. The only way to even try to limit this process is to monitor all communication between ordinary people. Despite the crackdown on Napster, Kazaa and other peer-to-peer(對(duì)等網(wǎng)絡(luò)) services over the past decade, the volume of file-sharing has grown exponentially. Even if the authorities closed down all other possibilities, people could still send copyrighted files as attachments to e-mails or through private networks. If people start doing that, should we give the government the right to monitor all mail and all encrypted(加密) networks? Whenever there are ways of communicating in private, they will be used to share copyrighted material. If you want to stop people doing this, you must remove the right to communicate in private. There is no other option. Society has to make a choice.

The world is at a crossroads. The internet and new information technologies are so powerful that no matter what we do, society will change. But the direction has not been decided.

The internet it still in its infancy, but already we see fantastic things appearing as if by magic. Take Linux, the free computer operating system, or Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. But where technology opens up new possibilities, our intellectual property laws do their best to restrict them. Linux is held back by patents, the rest of the examples by copyright. The public increasingly recognizes the need for reform.

Our manifesto(聲明) is to reform copyright laws and gradually abolish(廢除) the patent system. We oppose mass surveillance (監(jiān)視)and censorship(審查制度) on the net, as in the rest of society. We intend to devote all our time and energy to protecting the basal civil liberties on the net and elsewhere.

Political decisions taken over the next five years are likely to set the course we take into the information society, and will affect the lives of millions for many years into the future. The information revolution is happening here and now. It is up to us to decide what future we want.

Section B

Directions: Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and the required words limit. Write your answer on your answer sheet.

Every woman worries about the day when she glimpses the first wrinkle (皺紋) in her otherwise smooth skin. But for many, that day is arriving even earlier than they expected.

Sun and cigarettes in adolescence and early adulthood are the sinner (罪魁禍?zhǔn)? behind age spots, broken blood vessels and irregular pigmentation (色素沉著) by the time you’re in your 30’s. Avoiding those two is the best way to keep skin look young as long as possible. But if damage is done, don’t lose hope. You can take advantage of a lot of skin-care products.

What can you expect from these and other skin-care products? Here’s some advice from the experts:

Sunblock

It seems obvious, but dermatologists (皮膚科醫(yī)生) say many people still wrongly assume that sun protection is required only for a day at pool or beach. In fact, you need it every day. Wonder what your skin would like if you’d kept it protected from the sun? “Look at your butt (臀部),” says Dr. Steven Cohen, chief of the dermatology department at Montefiore Medical Center in New York. “It’s smooth, without wrinkle.”

Spot removers

To specifically target “sun spots” and even out skin color, dermatologists recommend products with hydroquinone (氫醌；對(duì)苯二酚), which gradually whitens the skin. Side effects include redness and irritation. Avoid these products if you’re pregnant because they can hurt a developing fetus (胎兒).

One more point: you’re never too late to protect your skin. You may feel like giving up when you see the consequences of teenage tans (dark color spot) in your mirror, but that’s no excuse for skipping daily sunblock. Sun damage is accumulative—and that means every day’s rays do a little more harm. So keep on doing it, and you may get a big surprise after ten or more years.
