Text 1
Wild Bill Donovan would
have loved the Internet. The American spymaster
who
built the Office of Strategic
Services in the World War II and later laid the
roots for
the CIA was fascinated with
information. Donovan believed in using whatever
tools
came to
hand in
the
game
days the Net, which has
already re-made pastimes as buying books and
sending mail,
is reshaping Donovan's
vocation as well.
The last revolution isn't
simply a matter of gentlemen reading other
gentlemen's
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
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 Virginia
company called Open-Source
Solutions
，
whose clear
advantage was its
mastery of the
electronic world.
Among the firms making the
biggest splash in the new world is Straitford,
Inc., a
private intelligence-analysis
firm based in Austin, Texas. Straitford makes
money by
selling
the
results
of
spying(covering
nations
from
Chile
to
Russia)
to
corporations
4
like
energy-
services
firm
McDermott
International.
Many
of
its
predictions
are
available online at .
Straifford
president George Friedman says he sees the online
world as a kind of
mutually
reinforcing
tool
for
both
information
collection
and
distribution,
a
spymaster's dream. Last
week his firm was busy vacuuming up data bits from
the far
corners of the world and
predicting a crisis in Ukraine.
we'll
suddenly get 500 new internet sign-ups from
Ukraine,
political
science
professor.
we'll
hear
back
from
some
of
them.
Open-source
spying does have its risks, of course,
since it can be difficult to tell good information
from bad. That 'sswheresStraitford
earns its keep.
Friedman
relies
on
a
lean
staff
in
Austin.
Several
of
his
staff
members
have
military-intelligence
backgrounds. He sees the firm's outsider status as
the key to its
success.
Straitford's briefs don't
sound like the usual Washington
back-and forthing,
whereby
agencies
avoid
dramatic
declarations
on
the
chance
they
might
be
wrong.
Straitford, says
Friedman, takes pride in its independent voice.
41.
The emergence of the Net has
A. received
support from fans like Donovan.
B. remolded the
intelligence services.
C. restored many common
pastimes.
D. revived spying as a profession.
n's
story is mentioned in the text to
A. introduce
the topic of online spying.
B. show how he
fought for the U.S.
C. give an episode of the
information war.
D. honor his unique
services to the CIA.

the
biggest
splash”(line
1,paragraph
3)most
probably
means
A. causing the biggest
trouble.
B. exerting the greatest effort.
C.
achieving the greatest success.
D. enjoying the
widest popularity.
can be learned from
paragraph 4 that
A. Straitford's prediction
about Ukraine has proved true.
B. Straitford
guarantees the truthfulness of its information.
C.
Straitford's business is characterized by
unpredictability.
D. Straitford is able to
provide fairly reliable information.

Text 2
To
paraphrase
18th-
century
statesman
Edmund
Burke,“all
that
is
needed
for
the
5
triumph of a misguided
cause is
that good people do
nothing.”One such cause now
seeks to
end biomedical research because of the theory that
animals have rights ruling
out
their
use
in
research.
Scientists
need
to
respond
forcefully
to
animal
rights
advocates,
whose
arguments
are
confusing
the
public
and
thereby
threatening
advances in health knowledge and care.
Leaders of the animal rights movement target
biomedical research because it depends
on public funding, and few people understand
the
process
of
health
care
research.
Hearing
allegations
of
cruelty
to
animals
in
research settings, many are perplexed
that anyone would deliberately harm an animal.
For
example, a grandmotherly woman staffing an animal
rights booth at a recent
street fair
was distributing a brochure that encouraged
readers not to use anything that
opposed immunizations, she wanted to
know if vaccines come from animal research.
Whe
n assured that they do,
she replied,“Then I would have to say yes.”Asked
what
will happen when epidemics return,
she said,“Don’t worry, scientists will find some
way of using computers.”Such
well
-meaning people just don's
understand.
Scientists
must
communicate
their
message
to
the
public
in
a
compassionate,
understandable
way-in
human
terms,
not
in
the
language
of
molecular
biology.
We
need
to make clear the connection between animal
research and a grandmother's hip
replacement, a father's bypass
operation a baby's vaccinations, and even a pet's
shots.
To
those
who
are
unaware
that
animal
research
was
needed
to
produce
these
treatments, as well as
new treatments and vaccines, animal research seems
wasteful at
best and cruel at worst.
Much
can
be
done.
Scientists
could“adopt”middle
school
classes
and
present
their own research.
They should be quick to respond to letters to the
editor, lest animal
rights
misinformation
go
unchallenged and
acquire a deceptive
appearance of truth.
Research
institutions
could
be
opened
to
tours,
to
show
that
laboratory
animals
receive
humane
care.
Finally,
because
the
ultimate
stakeholders
are
patients,
the
health research community should
actively
recruit to
its
cause not
only
well-known
personalities such as Stephen Cooper,
who has made courageous statements about the
value
of
animal
research,
but
all
who
receive
medical
treatment.
If
good
people
do
nothing
there
is
a
real
possibility
that
an
uninformed
citizenry
will
extinguish
the
precious embers of medical progress.
author begins his article with Edmund Burke's
words to
A. call on scientists to take some
actions.
B. criticize the misguided cause of
animal rights.
C. warn of the doom of biomedical
research.
D. show the triumph of the animal
rights movement.
people tend to think that
using an animal in research is
A. cruel but
natural.
B. inhuman and unacceptable.
C.
inevitable but vicious.
D. pointless and wasteful.
example of the grandmotherly woman is used to show
the public's
A. discontent with animal research.
B.
ignorance about medical science.
