34、 Snowdens removal of thousands of highly classified documents from the National Security Agency and his decision to turn them over to journalists for publication started a fierce debate about who and what he is. On one side are those who consider Snowden a whistleblower, someone who has done his cou
35、ntry a great service. Others regard him as a criminal. Snowden, meanwhile, says that his “tasks already accomplished,” that he has given Americans a “say in how they are governed” and that he has succeeded in exposing the workings of what he has called the uncontrolled “surveillance (监控) state.” But
36、 one must ask: Are Snowdens actions in consistent with his words?

Does he have concerns about what the FSB might do in response to what he might say? Whatever the answer, Snowdens silence about the dictatorship where he has taken sanctuary is te
41、lling. It is yet more evidence, if evidence were needed, that he is not a whistleblower at all. It suggests that, instead of being a brave speaker of truths, he is a hypocrite (伪君子), with principles that he applies selectively against the justice he has betrayed.67. What does the author want to tell
42、 the readers? A. Snowdens action started a heated debate. B. It isnt clear who and what Snowden is. C. Snowden exposed secret documents. D. Snowden is in fact a hypocrite.68. What is the authors attitude towards Russia? A. Critical. B. Approving. C. Sympathetic. D. Grateful.69. How does the author d
43、evelop his argument?A. By analysing Snowdens statements.B. By exposing Snowdens link with FSB.C. By comparing Snowdens actions in US and Russia. D. By questioning Snowdens loyalty.70. Why does the author say Snowden is not a brave speaker of truth? A. Because he has applied the wrong principles. B. Because he has kept silent about Russias dictatorship. C.
