Every country has secret services to help protect it against serious threats from terrorists, major criminals or even from other countries. People who threaten to harm a country always plot in secret, so the intelligence agencies have to work in secret to find out what is being planned before it happens, so that it can be prevented. They do that in many different ways—by secretly listening to their targets talking on the phone, by planting microphones to overhear meetings, by watching the targets as they move from place to place and by recruiting some of the targets to act as double agents to report on what is going on.
For most of my career I worked in one of the UK’ s three intelligence services, MI5 , the domestic security service. I first joined in the 1970s, in the middle of the Gold War, when the world was divided into two armed camps, the Soviet Union(苏联) and its allies on the one side and Western Europe, America and their allies on the other. The Cold War never became a fighting war. It was an intelligence war, with intelligence officers from both sides trying to find out what the other side was doing, what kind of weapons they had, when and if they might start a war and what their plans were. Both sides were secretly working in each other’ s countries.
Nowadays one of the biggest threats to the world, comes from terrorists. Intelligence officers from many different countries are working together to find out who they are, where they are and what they are planning. Today’ s MI5 officers get their intelligence in much the same way as we did during the Cold War, but their task is even more difficult and urgent because most terrorists want to kill people. Many terrorist attacks that are planned and prepared never happen, and we never know anything about them because the intelligence services find them out and prevent them.
The best title for the passage might be " ______".
选项
A、Ways of Gathering Intelligence
B、National Defense Against All Threats
C、Which Is More Threatening: Terrorists or Spies?
D、What We Do as Intelligence Officers
答案
D
解析
主旨题。本文考查文章标题,文中第一段讲述获取情报的方式,第二段讲述冷战期间情报人员在做什么,第三段讲述情报人员要应对恐怖分子威胁。全文贯穿情报人员的具体工作,故选项D(作为情报人员我们都做些什么)符合文意。选项A(收集情报的方式)太片面,文中只有第一段提及了获得情报的几种方式,不能代表全文中心思想。选项B(应对所有威胁的国防)范闱太大,与文意不符。选项C(谁更危险,恐怖分子还是间谍?)不符合文意,虽然文中最后一段提及世界面临的最大威胁之一是恐怖分子,但是不能代表文章整体意思,故答案为D。
