13、 in Washington. In the shadowy world of espionage, he had a good professional reputationa spys spy. So when Robert Hanssen decided to switch sides, he sent a letter to Cherkashin offering to work for the Russians.“I would not have contacted you,“ Hanssen wrote, “if it were not reported that you were
14、 held in esteem within your organization.“ Today, Cherkashin, 69, is a prosperous Moscow businessman. He owns a big house in the suburbs and drives a light blue 1986 Chevrolet, a trophy car in the streets of Moscow. “Ive been on my pension now for 10 years,“ he said when NEWSWEEK contacted him by ph
15、one last week. “Im in the private-security business.“ Cherkashin didnt want to discuss the Hanssen case. “I dont like to talk about other peoples affairs,“ said the former spymaster.He Wasnt alone; no one in the Kremlin wanted to talk publicly about the exposure of Hanssen either. But that doesnt me
16、an the Russians are bashful about spying on America. President Vladimir Putin, himself a former colonel in the now defunct KGB, has revived the fortunes of Russian intelligence agencies. Oleg Gordievsky, a KGB officer who defected to Britain in 1985, estimates that the number of Russian spies now in
17、 the United States has reached “a record figuremore than 300“.In Putin-style espionage, ideology is out, and so are most acts of subversion aimed at the United States. What Russia needs now is information: military, technological and economic. Putin wants quick growth for Russias defense industry, s
18、ensing lucrative markets overseas. But he has written that it would take as many as 15 years for Russia to catch up with even the poorest countries in the West. “Scientific institutes wont be able to do it; it costs a lot of money,“ says Jolanta Darczewska, a Polish expert on Russia s intelligence e
19、stablishment. “Its better to stealcheaper and faster.“Like many other Russian agents in the United States, Hanssen apparently was mothballed by the Kremlin after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. His masters feared he might be exposed by a security breach in Moscow, and they were getting inf
20、ormation of more immediate value from their mole in the CIA, Aldrich Ames, anyway. The intelligence agencies began a comeback under Prime Minister Yevgeny Primakov, another former spymaster. Then, a few weeks after Putin became Boris Yeltsins prime minister in 1999, Hanssen was “reactivated“. With e
21、spionage picking up again, his counterintelligence know-how may have given Moscow a map of Americas defenses against spies.Putin purports not to care about Washingtons reaction to Russian spying. “During the Yeltsin years, they had instructions to avoid any scandals that would spoil relations with t
22、he West,“ says Gordievsky. “What Putin told his foreign-intelligence agency was, Don t worry. Im not afraid of scandals.“What Putin may be worded about, however, is moles in his own security service. Some of the information revealed in the FBI affidavit last week has touched off a wave of concern in
23、 Moscow. The Russians fear it could only have been obtained from a source within Russian intelligence, and that has led officials to suspect U.S. infiltration into the SVR. “If you look at the affidavit, they have documents from the archive of the SVR,“ said Oleg Kalugin, the former KGB general who
24、says he brought Cherkashin to Washington. “Some of the references are from 1999.“ There were no Russian defectors from that time who could have provided the Americans with the information, officials say.So are Washington and Moscow back to a spy-vs.-spy standoff? Gordievsky, among others, thinks Rus
25、sian intelligence may have misread the new Bush administration, predicting it would be more “pragmatic“ and easier to work with than the Clinton White House. But so far, Washington has been no pushover. Bush advisers like Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld insist that the United States will go ahead
26、with a national missile defense system, despite Russias opposition. Last week Moscow had to back down a bit, stressing its willingness to talk about a missile shield. As Robert Hanssen has learned, intelligence is hardly a sure thing.（分数：5.00）(1).In Putin-style espionage, _.（分数：1.00）A.ideology is ou
27、t, and most acts of subversion are aimed at the United StatesB.the aim of its ideology is to subvert the United StatesC.ideology and most acts of subversion aimed at the United States are out-datedD.ideology and most acts of subversion aimed at the United States are in the open air(2).Hanssen appare
28、ntly was mothballed by the Kremlin after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 in part because _.（分数：1.00）A.his masters feared he might be exposed by a security breach in the United StatesB.they were getting information of more immediate value from their mole in the CIA, Aldrich Ames through vari
29、ous meansC.they can at least use Aldrich Ames, whose information is of more immediate valueD.both A and B(3).Hanssen was reactivated because _.（分数：1.00）A.espionage was reactivatedB.his knowledge of counterintelligence might help Moscow understand how America defends against spiesC.Aldrich Ames had b
30、een exposed and arrested by FBID.he knew the names of many US spies in Russia(4).In the last paragraph, Gordievsky thinks that _.（分数：1.00）A.Washington and Moscow are back to a spy-vs.-spy standoffB.Russian intelligence, predicting the new Bush administration would be more “pragmatic“ and easier to w
31、ork with than the Clinton White House, may have misread the new Bush administrationC.Russian intelligence may have misread the new Bush administration, because he predicts it would be more “pragmatic“ and easier to work with than the Clinton White HouseD.Washington has been no pushover(5).What does
32、the sentence imply: “As Robert Hanssen has learned, intelligence is hardly a sure thing.“?（分数：1.00）A.He shouldnt have counted on the chances of not being exposed.B.It is hard to predict whether the Bush Administration would be more “pragmatic“ and easier to work with or not.C.Moscow had to back down
33、 a bit, stressing its willingness to talk about a missile shield.D.Both A and BBTEXT B/BAuthor Emma Heathcote-James has spent nine years looking into real-life ghost stories, collecting tales from hundreds of people who claim to have seen evidence of an afterlife. The 27-year-old started her researc
34、h at university and her thesis was turned into a BBC documentary that she re-wrote as her debut bestseller Seeing Angels. The book prompted so many people to write to her with their ghostly experiences that she used them for a second book After Death Communication, which has just been released in pa
35、perback.Her new book They Walk Among Us describes s6ances with mediums who can summon solid ghosts out of thin air. While working on the book she invited a medium to her home in the Cotswolds to demonstrate a form of ghostly communication where spirits take over the body. She explained: “This medium
36、 came to my house, sat in my front room, and went into a trance. An old mans body just appeared over the top of the mediumhe turned into an old man right in front of me. I was absolutely terrified at firsthis hands became all arthritic and rheumatoid and his voice was old and staggered. The lights i
37、n my old cottage were going mad, going up and down by themselves but they had never done it before or since.” Emma added: “The old man spoke to my boyfriend Paul and asked him to take the medium s pulse. Paul, an army doctor, felt his wrist and said I think hes deadbut he wasnt, he had let the spiri
38、t take him over.”They Walk Among Us tells stories of people like Nick McGlynn, who was reunited with his wife Marie during a seance. She spoke to him through a medium hours after dying in hospital from multiple organ failure. Nick recalls the moment, halfway through the s6ance, when he heard his wif
39、e for the first time: “A fairly weak voice said, Nick, Nick Im home, Im home, in the special way I used to announce my arrival to her when I came home.“ He says he told her he was happy for her, and that she thanked him for staying with her in hospital and told him: “I want you to have a ball. Go ou
40、t and have a good time.“Emma says these paranormal experiences are “as natural as the sun and the rain“ and since the books release last month she s had hundreds more letters from readers. She adds: “Its such a huge subject, I feel like I am on the tip of a massive iceberg. “After the first book the
41、re were so many letters that the second one wrote itself.“One miraculous tale retold in After Death Communication is that of Dave Barber, who believes his dead grandmother saved him from drowning. Dave describes the day he almost died swimming with his son: “As neither my wife or I can swim we sat a
42、t the side of the pool, watching my son splash about. I decided to climb into the shallows and join in the fun. Almost immediately, I slipped, and fell.“ As he lay at the bottom of the pool Dave saw a “white mist“ at the end, which got closer until he saw his dead grandmother emerge from it. “Her ar
43、ms were outstretched towards me and she was dressed in a white silken gown,“ he says. “Suddenly, I was aware that my nine-year-old son had dived in to save me. He was banging my head on the floor of the pool in an effort to lift me. My grandmother, Amelia, was now very close and I knew that if I tur
44、ned to her, I would die. I looked at my son and knew he needed me. Immediately, the pain returned, I felt myself rising through the water and I blacked-out.“（分数：5.00）(1).Author Emma Heathcote-James has at least written _ books telling real-life ghost stories.（分数：1.00）A.oneB.twoC.threeD.four(2).The a
