When I first got an email account ten years ago, I received communications only from family, friends, and colleagues. Now it seems that every time I check my e-mail, I have an endless series of advertisement and other correspondence that do not interest the at all. If we want e-mail to continue to be useful, we need special laws that make spamming(发送垃圾邮件) a crime.
If lawmakers do not do something soon to prohibit spam, the problem will certainly get much worse. Computer programs allow spammers to spend hundreds of millions of e-mails almost instantly. As more and more advertisers turn to spam to sell their products, individual e-mail boxes are often flooded with spam e-mails. Would people continue to use e-mail if they had to deal with an annoying amount of spam each time?
This problem is troubling for individuals and companies as well. Many spam emails contain computer viruses that can shut down the entire network of a company. Companies rely on e-mail on for their employees to communicate with each other. Spam frequently causes failures in their local communications networks, and their employees are thus unable to communicate effectively. Such a situation results in a loss of productivity and requires companies to repeatedly repair their networks. These computer problems raise production costs of companies, which are, in the end, passed on to the consumer.
For these reasons, I believe that lawmakers need to legislate (立法) against spam. Spammers should be fined, and perhaps sent to prison if they continue to disturb people. E-mail is a tool which helps people all over the world to communicate conveniently, but spam is destroying this convenience.

(答案→)A 解析：【小题1】A 推理题。根据本句I have an endless series of advertisement and other correspondence that do not interest the at all.说明改词作为先行词，被后面的定语从句修饰，不能让他们感兴趣，说明垃圾邮件中有他们不感兴趣的信息。故A正确。【小题2】D 细节题。根据第二段2,3行As more and more advertisers turn to spam to sell their products, individual e-mail boxes are often flooded with spam e-mails.说明很多公司连用垃圾邮件来宣传产品，故D正确。【小题3】D 细节题。根据第三段最后一句These computer problems raise production costs of companies, which are, in the end, passed on to the consumer.说明最后这些问题都转嫁到了消费者身上，故D正确。59.C 主旨大意题。本文叙述了垃圾邮件的危害，是为了呼吁立法部门设立相关法律，故C正确，是为了说服政府。

这个解释是对的
