27.B這是一篇說明文。華為在新西蘭推出廣告宣傳：沒有華為的5G就像沒有新西蘭的橄欖球?！?4題詳解】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段第一句話Huaweihasstartedarugby-themedmediacampaigninabidtowinoverNewZealand’spublicafterthecountry’ssecurityagencyblockedtheChinesetechnologygiant’sequipmentfrombeingusedinanationwideInternetnetwork.可知華為已經(jīng)展開了以橄欖球為基調(diào)的媒體宣傳活動，試圖在新西蘭安全機構(gòu)禁止在5G網(wǎng)中使用華為的設(shè)備后贏得該國公眾的支持?？芍A為制作這份廣告是為了取得新西蘭公眾的支持，故選C?！?5題詳解】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段第一句話Huawei’snewspaperadgoesontoarguethedecisionwouldmeanlessadvancedtechnologyandhigherpricesforNewZealandcustomers.可知華為的報紙廣告爭辯說這個決定意味著新西蘭用戶將無法享受最先進的技術(shù)和支付更高的價格。即如果新西蘭人強迫華為退出，他們會錯失先進的技術(shù)，付出更多的金錢。故選D。【26題詳解】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段第三、四句InNovember,NewZealand’sGovernmentCommunicationsSecurityDepartment(GCSD)toldSparkitcouldn’tuseequipmentfromHuawei-theworldslargesttelecommunicationequipmentcompany—inthebuildingofits5Gnetworkbecauseanunspecific“significantnetworksecurityriskwasidentified”.Sparkisnowintheprocessofseeingifitcanmakechangestopreventthoserisks,althoughGCSDhasdeclinedtopubliclysayhowthatwouldhappen.（去年11月，新西蘭的政府通信安全局(GCSD)通知電信公司Spark不能在其推出的5G網(wǎng)中使用來自華為的設(shè)備，因為“發(fā)現(xiàn)了嚴(yán)重的網(wǎng)絡(luò)安全風(fēng)險”?，F(xiàn)在Spark正在檢討是否能夠采取措施阻止這些風(fēng)險，盡管當(dāng)局拒絕公開透露將會發(fā)生什么。）及第三段第二句TheadscomeafterthecompanylastmonthpubliclyofferedtoonlyuseNewZealand,ratherthanChinese,stafftobuildthenetwork—inabidtoeasefears—andcalledforanurgentmeetingwiththegovernment,denying(否認(rèn))therehadbeenanywrongdoing.（此前華為公開提出可以只使用新西蘭籍員工而不是中國員工來建設(shè)這個網(wǎng)路來緩和擔(dān)憂，呼吁跟政府緊急會面，并否認(rèn)有任何不當(dāng)?shù)淖龇?。）可知根?jù)以上可以推斷，當(dāng)局所謂的風(fēng)險是“無中生有”的。所以選項B正確?！?7題詳解】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段第一句話后半部分withtheUnitedStatesreportedlypressingFiveEyesintelligencenetworkallies(同盟國)toavoidthecompany.可知據(jù)報道美國給五眼情報網(wǎng)的盟國施壓，要求它們避免采用華為的設(shè)備。根據(jù)以上推斷，美國出于政治動機打壓華為最為積極。故選B。23.IwassurethatIwastobekilled.Ibecameterriblynervous.Ifumbled(摸索)inmypocketstoseeiftherewereanycigarettes,whichhadescapedtheirsearch.Ifoundoneandbecauseofmyshakinghands,Icouldbarelygetittomylips.ButIhadnomatches;theyhadtakenthose.Ilookedthroughthebarsattheguard.Hedidnotmakeeyecontactwithme.Icalledouttohim“Haveyougotalight？”Helookedatme,shruggedandcameovertolightmycigarette.Ashecamecloseandlitthematch,hiseyesunconsciouslylockedwithmine.Atthatmoment,Ismiled.Idon'tknowwhyIdidthat.Perhapsitwasnervousness;perhapsitwasbecause,whenyougetveryclose,onetoanother,itisveryhardnottosmile.Inanycase,Ismiled.Inthatinstant,itwasasthoughasparkjumpedacrossthegapbetweenourtwohearts,ourtwohumansouls.Iknowhedidn'twantto,butmysmileleapedthroughthebarsandcausedasmileonhislips,too.Helitmycigarettebutstayednear,lookingatmedirectlyintheeyesandcontinuingtosmile.Ikeptsmilingathim,nowthinkingofhimasapersonandnotjustaguard.“Doyouhavekids？”heasked.“Yes,here,here.”Itookoutmywalletandnervouslyfumbledforthepicturesofmyfamily.He,too,took
