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.
What is the author’s opinion towards e-mail applications?
选项 A、He gives an objective analysis.
B、He believes they will disappear eventually.
C、He hopes they can develop faster.
D、He is sure they will change soon.
答案A
解析 观点态度题。通览全文可知，从文章的行文上，作者并没有集中讲述电子邮件软件或是网络邮件服务单方丽的优点或缺点，而是分别对它们各自的优劣进行了客观的描述，经过对比分析，得出最终的结论，认定网络邮件服务有着更大的优势。因此[A]“他给出了客观的分析”为正确答案。[B]“他认定它们早晚会消失”文中没有提到，故排除；作者也没有表现出对电子邮件软件的偏受，所以排除[C]“希望软件发展得快一点”；[D]“他认为软件很快就会有所变化”是针对文章最后一句所设的干扰项，在此处，有所变化只是一个假设，并不是作者的预期，故排除。
