The latest 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 spies call it “open-source intelligence ,and as the Net grows ,it is becoming increasingly to affect people’s lives. In 1995 the CIA held a contest to see who could collected the most facts about Burundi .The winner was a tiny Virginia company called open source solutions ,whose clear advantage was its mastery of the electronic world.

Open-source spying does have its risks,of couese ,since it can be difficult to tell good information from bad .That’s where Straitford earns its keep . Friedman relies on only 20 people in Austin .Several of his staff members have military-intelligence backgrounds .He sees the firm `s outsider position as the key to its success.Straitford’s brief don’t sound like the usual Washington back-and –forthing,by which people avoid dramatic declarations on the chance they might be wrong .Straitford ,says Friedman ,takes pride in its independent voice. 71.The Internet has A.received support from fans like Donovan B.reshaping the intelligence services C. offered people more chances to enjoy many common pastimes.

E
Camping wild is a wonderful way to experience the natural world and, at its best, it makes little environmental influence. But with increasing numbers of people wanting to escape into the wilderness, it is becoming more and more important to camp unobtrusively(不引人注意地)and leave no mark.
Wild camping is not permitted in many places, particularly in crowded lowland Britain. Wherever you are, find out about organizations responsible for managing wild spaces, and contact them to find out their policy on camping and shelter building. For example, it is fine to camp wild in remote parts of Scotland, but in England you must ask the landowner’s permission, except in national parks.
Camping is about having relaxation, sleeping out door, experiencing bad weather, and making do without modern conveniences. A busy, fully-equipped campsite(野营地)seems to go against this, so seek out smaller, more remote places with easy access to open spaces and perhaps beaches. Better still, find a campsite with no road access: walking in makes a real adventure.
Finding the right spot to camp is the first step to guaranteeing a good night’s sleep. Choose a campsite with privacy and minimum influence on others and the environment. Try to use an area where people have obviously camped before rather than creating a new spot. When camping in woodland, avoid standing dead trees, which may fall on a windy night. Avoid animal runs and caves, and possible homes of biting insects. Make sure you have most protection on the windward side. If you make a fire, do so downwind of your shelter. Always consider what influence you might have on the natural world. Avoid damaging plants. A good campsite is found, not made—changing it should be unnecessary.
57. You needn’t ask for permission when camping in ________.
A. most parts of Scotland                B. national parks in England
C. crowded lowland Britain          D. most parts of England
58. The author thinks that a good campsite is one ________.
A. used previously                    B. with easy access
C, with modem conveniences           D. far away from beaches
59. The last paragraph mainly deals with ________.
A. protecting animals                          B. building a campfire
C. camping in woodland                            D. finding a campsite with privacy
60. The passage is mainly about ________.
A. the protection of campsites                 B. the human influence on campsites
C. the importance of wild camping      D. the dos and don’ts of wild camping

下面是一篇应用文及其应用场合,请阅读下列应用文和相关信息,并按照要求匹配信息。
首先,请阅读下列应用文:
A.Great Swimming Adventures
If you’re a keen swimmer, this could be for you — great swimming adventures around the world including swimming in the Bay of Islands in New Zealand, the Greek Cyclades islands, or with seals in the Hebrides.
B.The Magic of Romania’s Mountains on Foot — & with a Donkey
Explore the fantastic scenery, sites and sounds f the Apuseni Mountains in Romania on a walking and hiking holiday. Suitable for families and groups. The holidays are accompanied with one donkey per adult to carry luggage!
C.Vocation, Vocation
Why not test-drive your dream job on your holiday? It could be the start of a whole range of different opportunities. Travel to the USA, where jobs to try include a sports announcer in Tennessee, a boot maker in Oklahoma or an architect in Boston.
D..Out of space
Get a unique insight into space with a visit to Russia on a space tour — including a visit to the Star City Training Center, where astronauts are trained. The itinerary (行程) is tailored to meet your interests — an incredible experience for any space fans.
E.Go Wild on an Art Safari
Perfect for art lovers, this is a painting holiday in a fantastically unspoiled setting — Malawi. With good tuition and surrounded by the beautiful scenery, sites and sounds of this African country art holidays don’t get much better.
F.Exploring the Deep Blue Sea
If you love the ocean why not take a deep water expedition, with trips in submersibles (潜水器) to wrecks (失事船) such as the Bismark, the Titanic and the HMS Breadalbane under the Arctic. Plus see amazing marine life — for holidays offering real adventure these are hard to beat.
请阅读以下度假者的信息,然后匹配他或她适合的假期生活:
【小题1】 Glen has always shown his strong attraction to the sea. His father used to be a sailor and often tells him some interesting stories on wrecks. Glen wishes he would become a sailor just like his father and that he could take real water adventures some day. Perhaps he will have a chance to refloat those famous wrecks in history.
【小题2】 Melvin, a born “artist”, enjoys painting very much. His parents give him much support and encourage him to study hard so as to be successful as painter.
【小题3】While others go to school by bike or by bus, Wendy always goes to school on foot, which she thinks is important and necessary to keep fit. This summer, her family are planning to take a holiday abroad without taking any vehicles. The destination is likely to be a country of southeast Europe to enjoy the beautiful scenery there.
【小题4】Boris is always dreaming of flying to the moon one day in the future. He always worships those who have ever had an adventure in space. Of course, it is, as he himself knows, not so easy to realize such a big dream, for that needs to be athletic enough to get trained in all ways before going into space.
【小题5】Emma likes drawing very much, but she has hardly considered to be an artist one day. Instead, she wishes to be admitted to a famous university and learn the science of designing and constructing buildings, which also needs one’s ability of drawing.
