2、est revolution isnt simply a matter of gentlemen reading other gentlemens e-mail. That kind of electronic spying has been going on for decades. In the past three or four years, the World Wide Web has given birth to a whole industry of point-and-click spying. The spooks call it “open source intelligence,” and as the Net grows, it is becoming increasingly influential. In 1995 the CIA held a contest to see who could compile the most data about Burundi. The winner, by a large margin，was a tiny Virgi

4、ays he sees the online world as a kind of mutually reinforcing tool for both information collection and distribution，a spymasters dream. Last week his firm was busy vacuuming up data bits from the far corners of the world and predicting a crisis in Ukraine. “As soon as that report runs, well suddenly get 500 new internet sign-ups from Ukraine，” says Friedman, a former political science professor. “And well hear back from some of them.” Open-source spying does have its risks, of course, since it

5、can be difficult to tell good information from back. Thats where Straitford earns its keep.Friedman relies on a lean staff of 20 in Austin. Several of his staff members have military-intelligence backgrounds.

Straitford, says Friedman, takes pride in its independent voice.1. The eme

8、1.事实细节题。题干：网络的出现_。根据题干定位到第一段最后一句话These days the Net, which has already re-made such everyday pastimes as buying books and sending mail，is reshaping Donovans vocation as well.（如今，网络已经改变了购书和寄信等日常娱乐活动的消遣方式，也正在改变多诺万从事的职业。），根据前文语境，多诺万的职业就是间谍工作。那么就是说网络的出现改变了间谍活动，B选项“重塑了情报服务系统”，符合题意。网络改变了普通的消遣方式，所以C选项“恢复了许多普通的消遣方式”不正确，A选项“得到了多诺万等粉丝的支持”和D选项“重新把间谍作为一种职业”并没有提及。综上所述，本题的正确答案是B选项。2.推理判断题。题干：多诺万的故事在书中提到为了_。因为该题是例证题，开头提到例子，应该去例子之后找论点句。定位到第一段最后一句话These days the Net, which has already re-made such everyday pasti

9、mes as buying books and sending mail, is reshaping Donovans vocation as well.（如今，网络已经改变了购书和寄信等日常娱乐活动的消遣方式，也正在改变多诺万从事的职业。），而多万诺之前的职业是间谍工作，所以多诺万的故事就是为了引出下文的网络时代的谍报产业，A选项“介绍网络间谍的话题”，符合题意。文章只在第一段提到多万诺，其余部分都在讨论互联网时代情报工作的巨大变化，所以B选项“展示他如何为美国而战”，C选项“讲一讲信息战的故事”和D选项“表彰他对中央情报局的独特贡献”，均不符合题意。综上所述，本题的正确答案是A选项。3.推理判断题。题干：短语“making The biggest splash”的意思大概是_。由题干可以定位到文章第三段第一句话Among the firms making the biggest splash in the new world is Straitford, Inc., a private intelligence-analysis firm based in Austin, Texas.（新世界_ 的公司之一是Straitford, Inc.，一家总部设在德克萨斯州奥斯汀的私人情报分析公司。）第二段最后一句介绍了CIA举办的竞赛，并提到其中最大赢家的明显优势在于其对电子领域的掌握。第三段第一句提到Straitford公司的例子，并用“making the biggest splash”描述该公司目前的经营状况。随后两段从不同的方面介绍了公司。第五段最后一句提到Straitford, says Friedman, takes pride in its independent voice.（Straitford公司以发表自
