20、its controversial counter-radicalisation strategy to stop children as young as 12 becoming involved in sophisticated computer crimes. Jamie Saunders said training was needed to help spot at-risk teenagers, as many young Internet users experiment with computer hacking or other cyber offences without

21、realising that what they are doing is a crime. Saunders, Director of the National Cyber Crime Unit at the National Crime Agency, explained that he is proposing a scheme to ministers modelled in part on the official counter-radicalisation programme “Prevent“, which has been dogged by controversy. But

22、 instead of trying to divert aspirant jihadists from terrorism, “cyber Prevent“ would aim to divert computer-literate youngsters from carrying out Distributed Denial of Service attacks (DDoS) and other cybercrimes, such as hacking private Internet users“ details. The “Cyber Prevent“ programme might

23、also be used to recruit tech-savvy young adults. Saunders said: “We need education for schools on the Computer Misuse Act, on what it is and isn“t. A lot of kids don“t realise they are committing a crime. We don“t want them to go to prison, we want them to come and work for us.“ Demand for computer

24、skills is forecast to grow in the coming years. One core message at the heart of the new strategy is that young adults with computer skills can earn well and legitimately, as opposed to perpetrating cybercrimes and facing punishment. “A lot of kids are stumbling into this crime. This activity has co

25、nsequences for them and others. There are legitimate opportunities for their skills, “Saunders said. The target group would be 12 to 25 years old. Analysis of investigations carried out by the NCCU in 2015 found the average age of suspects to be 17. The previous year the average was 24. Saunders sai

26、d some cyber attacks have been carried out by children who did not realise the harm they could do, adding: “We are not dealing with serious criminals. Some are sucked in and damage their careers and do a lot of harm.“ Research shows that some who end up committing cybercrime start by learning how to

27、 outwit games programmers. “One of the entry points is cheating on online gaming, and you have to be quite clever to do that,“ he said. He said Cyber Prevent would be relatively low cost, especially compared with the harm it is trying to thwart. It would hire a network of regional specialists and in

28、dustry might contribute to the cost. Cyber Prevent would also target parents, so they had a better chance of knowing what their children might be up to. The sheer volume of online offending means that only a fraction of offenders are likely to be caught. Compared with other major crime types, intell

29、igence about cybercrime offenders is at a relatively early stage. “We keep finding clean skins, people we did not know about,“ Saunders said. The NCA says that also popular among teenage computer users is a malicious software called Remote Access Trojans (RATs). They allow people to remotely take fu

30、ll control of another computer, turning on webcams, stealing passwords and personal information, and launching further attacks on other computers. An NCA-led operation, targeting users of the Blackshades RAT, found that the average age of the 22 people who where arrested was 18, with the youngest pe

31、rson being just 12 years old. In 2014 the NCA coordinated the first UK-wide cybercrime operation to target users of the Blackshades RAT. More than 100 people were arrested worldwide, following an FBI-led crackdown. Saunders was previously director of international cyber policy at the Foreign Office.

32、 Prior to that he had worked at the UK Government Communications Headquarters.（分数：12.50）(1).According to the passage, “Cyber Prevent“ is a _.（分数：2.50）A.counter-radicalization strategy against terrorismB.programme to check various cybercrimes by youngstersC.project mainly to recruit computer-literate

33、 young adultsD.scheme to popularise Computer Misuse Act among computer-illiterates(2).When Saunders said many young people are “stumbling into“ (para.3) the cybercrime, he meant that _.（分数：2.50）A.they know that they are committing a crimeB.they only want to beat games programmersC.they are intention

34、ally hacking Internet users“ detailsD.they are inadvertently involved in such cybercrimes(3).Which of the following is NOT covered by the new strategy?（分数：2.50）A.To track down the serious cyber-criminals.B.To recruit tech-savvy youngsters to work for the programme.C.To tell young people with compute

35、r skills that they can legitimately earn well.D.To promote education on the Computer Misuse Act.(4).All of the following can be found from the passage EXCEPT that _.（分数：2.50）A.the volume of cybercrime is quite largeB.intelligence about cybercrime offenders needs to be fully collectedC.the age of cyb

36、ercrime offenders has been lowering over the yearsD.online gaming is the one major channel leading to cybercrime(5).What is the main idea of the passage?（分数：2.50）A.Cybercrime tsar plans to intimidate young online offenders.B.Cybercrime director seeks “Prevent“ strategy to deter child hackers.C.The N

37、CA led the first UK-wide cybercrime operation to target RAT users.D.The NCA promoted the investigation of the average age of online offenders.My children went to private school, and given the way things are in our education system I am glad they did; but I wish I had not been presented with the choi

38、ce between the state and private sectors, for I believe that one of the worst things about this country is the chasm in our education system. It is not exclusive to Britain, but it is uniquely divisive here. The difference in quality between state and private schools is particularly large; the divis

39、ion between the two is based almost entirely on money rather than (as in France) religious preferences; the private sector is unusually large and powerful. The consequences for our society are therefore heinous. The private/state divide exacerbates the class consciousness that lurks beneath our rela

40、tionships, poisons our politics and distorts our decisions. It leads people to hire, argue with and vote for each other for the wrong reasons. It clouds our judgment. It“s not like this in America, mainland Europe or indeed anywhere else in the civilised world, I promise you. So I was relieved when,

41、 a few weeks ago, my twin daughters moved on from the class-stratified secondary school system to what I assumed would be the socialist republic of university. When I went to university, it had much in common with the Soviet Union. You had to queue for hours for awful food, people banged on about id

42、eology a lot and, everybody seemed to be pretty much on an equal footing, socially and economically. It doesn“t seem to be that way these days, according to reports from my daughters and their friends. At Edinburgh, Durham, Bristol and Exeter, the private school kids seem to hang out mostly with the

43、 private school kids and the state school kids with the state school kids. The twain do meet a bit, at lectures and tutorials, through societies and in pubs and clubs. But most of their social lives seem to be conducted in bubbles similar to those in which they spent their secondary school lives. Th

44、is has happened not because young people are more tribal than older ones but because universities have been marketised. In the old days they got their income from the state; now they are quasi-businesses. This leads them to behave like profit-maximising firms and offer a range of products to their c

45、ustomers. They can make more money from selling their Finest accommodation to the well-off and Value to the hard-up than if they offered their Value product across the board. So these days the upscale student does not have to queue for tepid showers: if she wants a double bed and ensuite bathroom, s

46、he will get it. There are, therefore, big price differences between halls of residence at these universities, the most expensive accommodation costs up to three times the price of the cheapest. Not surprisingly, social stratification follows the money. At Edinburgh (30% private overall), you can pay

47、 7,444 at Chancellors Court (70% private). That compares with 2,324 for the cheapest non-catered shared room the university offers. At Exeter (33% private overall), you can pay 200-plus a week at Holland Hall (60% private) or 104 at St David“s (5% private). At Bristol (40% private overall), Churchil

48、l Hall (70% private) cost 186 a week; Favell House (22% private) costs 127 a week. At Durham things seem more mixed. Although there is a wide range of prices the university is divided into Oxbridge-style colleges, which students end up in partly by choice and partly by random allocation. That may be

49、 why my daughter studying at Durham says a quarter of her friends are from state school, while my daughter at Edinburgh says 5% of hers are. I am not a Stalinist. I do not believe in the forced break-up of communities. I have no desire to destroy the bonds of affection that tradition and habit have created. I understand that people are tribal and that social stratification is natural. But university is an unnatural experience. That is the whole point of it. It is why we send these near-adults away from home for the third phase of their education. They have jumped through
