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. [br] MI5 officers’ task is more urgent today in that______.
选项
A、terrorists are more difficult to find than spies
B、most terrorist attacks are aimed at killing people
C、terrorist attacks happen more frequently than before
D、it takes only a little time to prepare a terrorist attack
答案
B
解析
细节题。根据第三段第三句可知,如今,M15的工作人员任务更加艰巨和紧迫,因为大多数恐怖分子想要杀人,故选项B(大部分恐怖袭击的目标是杀人)正确。选项A(恐怖分子比间谍更难发现)、选项C(恐怖袭击发生的比以前更频繁)、选项D(准备一场恐怖袭击需要的时间不长)文中均未提及,故答案为B。
