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] What is true about the Cold War?
选项
A、Both camps were planning to start a war.
B、It was a war fought with advanced weapons.
C、No fierce clash broke out during the period.
D、It is not regarded as an intelligence war.
答案
C
解析
细节题。根据第二段倒数第二句可知,这是一场情报战,双方的情报人员都在试图查明对方在做什么,拥有什么样的武器,他们是否以及什么时候会发动战争,他们的计划是什么。选项A(双方阵营都在策划发动一场战争)与文章内容不符,文中只提到情报人员在获取可能发生战争的情报,并没有确定双方在策划战争。选项B(战争中使用了先进武器)错误,文中只提到情报人员试图查明对方拥有什么样的武器,并没有提到先进武器。选项D(这场战争被认为不是情报战)与文章内容相反,文中明确指出这是一场情报战。选项C(在这期间没有发生激烈的冲突)与第二段第三句提到的冷战并没有真正地开火意思相符,故答案为C。
