根据下列文章,请回答题。Text 4
  In an interview last month, Frank Church, chairman of the Senate committee which is investigating the CIA, issued an oblique but impassioned warning, that the technology of eavesdropping had become so highly developed that Americans might soon be left with "no place to hide", That day may have arrived. Newsweek has learned that the country' s most secret intelligence operation,the National Security Agency, already possesses the computerized equipment to monitor nearly all overseas telephone calls and most domestic and international printed messages.
  The agency' s devices monitor a great deal of telephone circuits, cable lines and the microwave transmissions that carry an increasing share of both spoken and written communications.Computers are programed to watch for "trigger" words or phrases indicating that a message might interest intelligence analysis, when the trigger is pulled, entire messages are tape-recorded or printed out.
  That kind of eavesdropping is, however, relatively simple compared with the breakthroughs that lie ahead in the field of snoopery. Already it is technically feasible to "bug" an electric typewriter by picking up its feeble electronic emissions from a remote location and then change them into words. And some scientists believe that it may be possible in the future for remote electronic equipment to intercept and "read" human brain waves.
  Where such capabilities exist, so too does the potential for abuse. It is the old story of technology rushing forward with some new wonder, before the men who supposedly control the machines have found how to prevent the machines from controlling them.Which is the best title for the passage?

A.Fight against Eavesdroppin 
B.A New Breakthroug
C.No Place to Hid 
D.An Impassioned Warnin

参考答案

C

答案解析

  正在调查中情局的参议员委员会主席弗兰克·丘奇,在上个月的采访中委婉而恳切地警告说,窃听技术已经如此发达.以致于美国人很快就会“无处藏身”。那一天可能已经到来了。《新闻周刊》了解到这个国家最秘密的情报组织,国家安全局,已经拥有用以监控几乎所有海外电话和大部分国内国际打印品的计算机设备。
  安全局的设备监控大量的携带越来越多口头和书面交流信息的电话、电缆和微波传送线路。他们给计算机设计了搜索“扳机”词的程序,这些关键词表明一条信息可能值得对其进行情报分析。“扳机”一被扣动,整条信息就被录制下来或打印出来。
  然而,这种窃听技术与窃听领域的一些突破相比还是比较简单的。从远方通过搜集微弱的电子放射并把它转换成文字来“窃听”电动打印机在技术上已是可行的了。并且一些科学家认为将来用远程电子设备截获并“读解”人类脑电波是可能的。
  若这种可能性存在,滥用这种技术的可能性也就存在。这已是老生常谈,技术飞速进步,不断带来令人惊奇的事物,可应该控制机器的人类尚未找到防止被机器反控制的方法。
  答案及解析
  【解析】无处可藏。从文章开头引出参议院主席的讲话,到最后都是关于窃听,也表明目前形势的严峻性。选项C最适合做全文标题。
