问题      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 of the following is most likely to be bugged?
选项 A、International telephone calls.
B、International printed messages.
C、Domestic printed messages.
D、Electric typewriters.
答案A
解析 文章第一段最后一句：The National Security Agency, already possesses the computerized equipment to monitor nearly a11 overseas telephone calls and most domestic and international printed messages．nearly all几乎所有的，本句意为国家安全局已经拥有了由电脑控制的设备，利用这些设备可以监控几乎所有的越洋电话和大部分国内和国际的以印刷品形式存在的信息情报。所以国际电话被窃听得最多。
