　　The e-mail which is also called email stands for “electronic(电子)mail”．You can send messages in only a few seconds by e-mail．

　　On the Internet there are many powerful computers called “servers(服务器)” to help people send and receive emails．The sending and receiving servers are just like post offices．If you want to use the email service you have to open at least an email account called a “mail-box” just like we set up a mail-box in the post office．Some mailboxes are provided free of charge by ISPs which you can get when you open an Internet account．Most widely-used mail-boxes are provided free by the ISPs and anyone can apply for one even if he has no ISP account．

　　How to apply for a free mailbox? First you have to connect to the Internet and go to the homepage(主页)of the ICP providing free mailboxes．Then you will find an icon(符号)showing “apply for a free mailbox”．Click the icon and agreement about the rules for using the free mailbox will appear．If you want to go on click the icon “I agree”．Then you have to fill in a form about your basic personal data and the name and pin of the mailbox．The pin is the key to the mailbox．After finishing these you will get a mailbox like this：Your-name@ mail．Server(For example：tvguide @ mail．cctv．com．cn．“tvguide” is the name of the mailbox and “mail．cctv．com．cn” is the name of the mail-server)．The mailbox is separated into two parts by a separator“@” which is read as “at”．The former part is the name of the mailbox．The latter(后者)is the domain name(域名)of the mail server．All mail to you will be received by the server and put into your mailbox(You can read this mail on any computer in the world as long as you have the name and pin of the mailbox)．

Answer 1

答案：1．D;2．B;3．C;4．B;
解析：
(1) 第二段说如果你要使用电子邮件：“You have to open at least an e-mail account called a mailbox．”也就是说必须先申请邮箱，故选D项。 (4) 要发电子邮件，你可以在计算机上，并不需要去邮局。因此B项错误。
提示：
(2) 第三段提到，在一个电子邮件地址中，“the latter is the domain name ”(后面是域名)，因此yahoo．com 应为域名。 (3) 这篇文章主要是告诉我们怎样去申请免费邮箱，因此选C项。
