the most common purchases through the internet. to find something on the internet, people often use powerful computer tools called “search engines”. you can search for a type of product such as sports shoes, or a brand name, such as nike. the search engine will give you a list of websites where you can find these products. these websites may be specialist shops such as a nike shop, or they may be general stores, calledmalls, which sell a variety of goods. internet shopping offers a number of benefits for the shopper. the most important advantage is convenience. as the on-line shops are open 24 hours a day, you do not have to queue with other shoppers at the check-out counters. secondly, it is easy to find what you are looking for. finally, it is often cheaper to buy goods through the internet. the main disadvantage of internet shopping is that you cannot actually see the products you are buying or check their quality. also, many people enjoy shopping in the city and miss the

celebrity. they are paparazziphotographers who make a living by taking pictures of the rich and famous.this september, california, a state with plenty of celebrities, passed a law aimed at taking action against paparazzi. the law forbids photographers from entering private property to take pictures, from using high-tech devices to take pictures of people on private property, and from “persistently following in order to take a picture.” violators can be fined or spend time in prison. the united state congress is considering passing a similar law.supporters of the california law say it will protect the privacy of celebrities, whom paparazzi have been bothering for years. opponents (反对者) say the law restricts photojournalists from doing their job.most celebrities seem to like having their pictures taken when they are in public at award shows or other events. after all, its free publicity. but when theyre not in public, they say, photographers should leave them alone. yet paparazzi have been known to secretly look in windows and worse. actor michael j. fox said that paparazzi have even “tried to pretend to be medical personnel at the hospital where my wife was giving birth to our son.”celebrities have as much right to their privacy as anyone else, supporters of the law state. supporters further argue that the california law is a fair way to keep the press at bay, because the law still allows photographers to do their job. it only punishes them, supporters say, when they violate celebrities privacy.opponents of the law say it violates the first amendment to the united states constitution (美国宪法第一修正案), which guarantees that no laws will be made to limit “the freedom of speech, or of the press.” although some people might not consider paparazzi a part of the legal press, the california law does not single out paparazzi. it applies to photographers working for any publication.opponents of the law are also concerned about its wording. “does persistently mean following someone for six minutes, six seconds, or six days?” asked lawyer douglas mirell. the wording of the law is too vague, critics complain, and could be used to punish almost any news photographer.the united states needs a free press to keep the public informed about important news, paparazzi law opponents say. limiting the press in any way, they argue, limits the freedom of all.12. which of the following will be considered illegal by the new california law?a. paparazzi slipping into the house of a famous person to take a shot.b. paparazzi taking photos of famous people with high-tech cameras.c. paparazzi hiring helicopters as a fast means of transportation.d. paparazzi rushing towards filming sites on motorcycles.13.supporters of the new law believe that _.a. it prevents the media from getting worseb. it gives photographers a fair way to competec. punishment forces paparazzi to quit their jobd. privacy of famous people needs special protection14. opponents of the new law are concerned that _.a. it will violate paparazzis privacyb. the first amendment will be changedc. some photographers will be wrongly accusedd. people will not be informed of important news15. what is the authors attitude towards the new california law?a. critical. b. neutral. c. approving. d. skeptical. 第二节 （共5小题，每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 english is
