问题     As details of American snooping (窥探) spread, sales of 1984, George Orwell’s fable of an ever-watching state, rocketed. So did traffic to websites run by Tactical Technology Collective, a【C1】________that teaches journalists and activists how to evade online spies. "It can be hard to persuade people accept surveillance (监视)【C2】________to them," admits Stephanie Hankey, a co-founder. Apparently not any more.
    Opponents have always trying to take【C3】________to cover compromising communications. But computers now mark suspicious patterns in daily activities too. People need greater alertness and face three challenges to keep secrets.
    The first is stopping the nosy (爱管闲事的) sniffing communications in transit. Unencrypted (未加密的) e-mails are as【C4】________as postcards, warns Ben Wagner, an
    Internet specialist at the European University Institute. Pretty Good Privacy (PGP), scrambling (打乱) software that works with several web clients, can prevent such snooping.
    Another task is to stop spies sucking data from wherever it is【C5】________That means withdrawing from services, such as social networks and search engines, that must pass data to governments—or【C6】________out alternatives in untouchable territories. A battered desktop with free software makes a secure e-mail server.
    It is【C7】________to escape from systems that record whether communications have taken place. "Using a mobile is the worst thing you can do," says Marek Tuszynski at Tactical Technology. The call logs (通话记录) kept by telecoms firms are difficult to avoid. Internet users have more security. Free software such as Tor can hide their identity by【C8】________routing their requests.
    But staying under the radar is boring and hard to keep up. Clueless contacts can blow your cover. Even technophiles (技术爱好者) may compromise themselves by【C9】________means.
    Ms Hankey would prefer laws, not just technology, to preserve people’s【C10】________ She wants governments in Europe and elsewhere to boost alternatives to America’s "digital monopolies".
    A) charity    E)matters       I) posted    M)stored
    B) cleverly   F) meaningless  J) privacy   N) trickier
    C) clinic     G) measures     K)seeking    O) unconsciously
    D) hopefully  H) open         L) simpler [br] 【C4】
选项
答案 H
解析 形容词辨义题。根据空格前的are as和空格后的as postcards可以判断，此处需要填入一个形容词。由于空格所在的段落讲述的是如何阻止传输过程中的通信信息窃取活动，可以推知该句是要论述未加密邮件的不安全性。备选词汇中只有open(公开的)符合此处语境，故选H。
