MILLIONS of people now rent their movies the Netflix way. They fill out a wish list from


the 50,000 titles on the company's Web site and receive the first few DVD's in the mail; when they


mail


each


one


back,


the


next


one


on


the


list


is


sent.


The


Netflix


model


has


been


exhaustively


analyzed for its disruptive, new-economy



31



implications.


What will it mean for video stores like


Blockbuster, which has, in fact, started a similar service? What will it mean for movie studios and


theaters? What does it show about


like those for Dutch movies or classic musicals, into a


(32)single


large audience? But one other


major implication has


(33)barely


been mentioned: what this and similar Internet-based businesses


mean for that stalwart of the old economy, the United States Postal Service.


Every


day,


some


two


million


Netflix


envelopes


come


and


go


as


first-class


mail.


They


are


joined by millions of other shipments from




34


online


pharmacies, eBay vendors,


and other businesses that did not exist before the Internet.


The

< p>


35



demise


of



mail


in


the


age


of


instant


electronic


communication


has


been


predicted


at


least


as


often


as


the


coming


of


the


paperless


office.


But


the


consumption


of


paper


keeps




36



rising


.


It


has


roughly


doubled


since


1980.


On


average,


an


American


household


receives twice as many pieces of mail a day as it did in the 1970's.


The harmful side of the Internet's impact is obvious but statistically less important than many


would guess. People



(37) naturally


write fewer letters when they can send e-mail messages. To


(38) leaf


through a box of old paper correspondence is to know what has been


_(39) lost i


n this


shift: the pretty stamps, the varying look and feel of handwritten and typed correspondence, the


tangible


(40) object


that was once in the sender's hands.

Section A


Passage one



1



When I was a young girl living in Ireland, I was always pleased when it rained, because that


meant


I


could


go


treasure


hunting.


What’s


the


connection


between


a


wet


day


and


a


search


for


buried treasure? Well, it’s quite simple. Ireland, as


some of you may already know, is the home of


Leprechauns



little men who possess magic powers and, perhaps more interestingly, pots of gold.




2

< p>


Now,


although


Leprechauns


are


interesting


characters,


I


have


to


admit


that


I


was


more


intrigued by the stories of their treasure hoard.


This


, as all of Ireland knows, they hide at the end


of the rainbow. Leprechauns can be fearsome folk but if you can discover the end of the rainbow,


they have to unwillingly surrender their gold to you. So whenever it rained, I would look up in the


sky and follow the curve of the rainbow to see where it ended. I never did unearth any treasure,


but I did spend many happy, showery days dreaming of what I could do with the fortune if I found


it.



3



As I got older, and started working, rainy days came to be just another nuisance and my


childhood dreams of finding treasure faded. But for some people the dream of striking it lucky


never fades, and for a fortunate few, the dream even comes true! Such is the case of Mel Fisher.


His dream of finding treasure also began in childhood, while reading the great literature classics


“Treasure Island” and “Moby Dick”. However, unlike myself, he chased his dream and in the end


managed to become one of the most famous professional treasure hunters of all time, and for good


reason. In 1985, he fished up the priceless cargo of the sunken Spanish ship Atocha, which netted


him an incredible $$400 million dollars!



4



After the ship sank in 1622 off the coast of Florida, its murky waters became a treasure


tro


ve of precious stones, gold bars and silver coins known as “pieces of eight”. The aptly


-named


Fisher,


who


ran


a


commercial


salvaging


operation,


had


been


trying


to


locate


the


underwater


treasure for over 16 years when he finally


hit the jackpot!


His dreams had come true but finding


and


keeping


the


treasure


wasn’t


all


plain


sailing.


After


battling


with


hostile


conditions


at


sea,


Fisher


then


had


to


battle


in


the


courts.


In


fact,


the


State


of


Florida


took


Fisher


to


court


over


ownership


of


the


find


and


the


Federal


government


soon


followed


suit.


After


more


than


200


hearings, Fisher agreed to donate 20% of his yearly findings for public display, and so now there


is


a


museum


in


Florida


which


displays


hundreds


of


the


objects


which


were


salvaged


from


the


Atocha.



5



This


true


story


seems


like


a


modern-day


fairytale:


a


man


pursues


his


dream


through


adversity and in the end, he triumphs over the difficulties - they all live happily ever after, right?


Well, not exactly. Archaeologists object to the fact that with commercial salvaging operations like


Fisher’s,


the


objects


are


sold


and


dispersed


and


UNESCO


are


worried


about


protecting


our


underwater heritage from what it describes as “pillaging”.




6



The


counter-argument


is


that


in


professional,


well-run


operations


such


as


Fis


her’s,


each


piece is accurately and minutely recorded and that it is this information which is more important


than


the


actual


object,


and


that


such


operations


help


increase


our


wealth


of


archaeological


knowledge.


Indeed,


as


in


Fisher’s


case,


they


make


hist


ory


more


accessible


to


people


through


museum donations and information on web sites.



7



The distinction of whether these treasure hunters are salvaging or pillaging our underwater


heritage may not be clear, but what is clear is that treasure hunting is not


just innocent child’s play


anymore but profitable big business. I have learnt that the end of the rainbow is beyond my reach,


but


in


consolation,


with


just


a


click


of


the


mouse,


I


too


can


have


a


share


in


the


riches


that


the


Atocha has revealed. As Friedrich Nietzsche so wisely said:


“Our treasure lies in the beehive of


our knowledge.”




41. In Para.4, the phrase



hit the jackpot



means ______according to the text.


A. discovered the jackpot.


B.


found the treasure


C. broke one of the objects


D. ran a salvaging operation


42. It can be concluded from Paras. 5 and 6 that _________.


A.


people hold entirely different views on the issue


B. UNESCO



s view is different from archaeologists




C. all salvaging operations should be prohibited


D. attention should be paid to the find



s educational value


43. How did the author feel about the treasure from the Atocha (Para. 7)?


A. She was unconcerned about where the treasure came from


B. She was sad that she was unable to discover and salvage treasure.


C. She was angry that treasure hunters were pillaging heritage.


D.


She was glad that people can have a chance to see the treasure.
