问题     According to a Department of Homeland Security report obtained by Forbes, com, a group of unnamed private sector executives representing industries including banking, telecommunications and energy have been meeting with the DHS to find ways to more efficiently exchange data on cyber intrusions and digital spying. The DHS wouldn’t share any details of the classified meetings. But the goal of the conferences, according to one former government official, is to build a better system for sharing classified cyber-threat data with private companies.
    Given Presidential Directive 54’s scope and budget, the government should have plenty to share. Over the next seven years, the program’s initiative will spend as much as $30 billion to create a new monitoring system for all federal networks, a combined project of the DHS, the NSA and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. The data-sharing plan would offer information gathered by that massive monitoring system to the private sector in exchange for their own knowledge of cyber intrusions and spyware. Presidential Directive 54, is partly a response to a series of cyber intrusions that plagued the Pentagon last summer.
    The nation’s critical infrastructure systems, mostly owned by the private sector, may face a similar threat. But the notion of extending the government’s network monitoring to the nation’s critical infrastructure has raised hackles. Privacy advocates, fearing government intrusion on private networks, have already compared the project to the NSA’s warrantless wiretapping program. In a congressional hearing last Thursday, Rep. Paul Broun, said the program seemed "a little like the fox guarding the henhouse. "
    The information sharing strategy revealed in the DHS report may be a compromise. For now, the government is avoiding the controversy of monitoring commercial networks, and instead trading its cyber-threat information for data about intrusions that private companies have detected on their own computers, says Alan Paller, director of the SANS Institute, an organization that hosts a crisis center for hacked companies. "To find the bad guys, we’ll need huge analytic engines, with all the right data," he says. "The government can’t force these companies to let it watch traffic in commercial networks, so this is one way to get the private sector involved. "
    That doesn’t mean the data-sharing project is a guarantee that government monitoring won’t eventually be expanded to some parts of private industry, Paller says. He sees the project as the first step in convincing critical infrastructure companies to allow some government surveillance of their networks. Companies possessing classified government data, such as defense contractors , are especially likely to be brought under the initiative’s umbrella of surveillance, according to some former government officials.
According to Alan Paller, we can learn that
选项 A、the private companies accepted the idea that their networks will be monitored for the sake of cyber-safety.
B、the government proposes that it will not exchange cyber-threat data with the private companies.
C、the data-sharing project will not allow the government to survey the private companies’ networks.
D、the data-sharing project can help the government persuade the private companies to accept some government surveillance.
答案D
解析 根据艾伦·帕勒的观点，我们可知，[A]私企接受了为了网络安全他们的网络将接受监控的想法。[B]政府提议不与私企交换威胁网络安全的数据。[C]数据共享计划将不允许政府调查私企的网络。[D]数据共享计划可以帮助政府说服私企接受一定程度的政府监管。根据题干信号词Alan Paller，我们可以定位到最后两段中Alan Paller的观点。根据最后一段第一句可知[C]不符合文意。根据倒数第二段的第一句和最后一句可以推断出，私企是拒绝他们的网络完全受到政府监控的，政府不能强迫私企接受监督，只能通过数据分享的方法使他们介人到网络安全计划中。[D]可以根据最后一段第二句得知符合文意，为答案。私企并没有接受出于安全而监控他们网络的要求，因此[A]错误。政府部门提议他们与私企交换数据，因此排除[B]。
