Straifford president George Friedman says he sees the online world as a kind of mutually reinforcing tool for both information collection and distribution, a spymaster's dream. Last week his firm was busy vacuuming up data bits from the far corners of the world and predicting a crisis in Ukraine." As soon as that report runs, we'll suddenly get 500 new internet sign-ups from Ukraine," says Friedman, a former political science professor. "And we'll hear back from some of them." Open-source spying does have its risks, of course, since it can be difficult to tell good information from bad. That’s where Straitford earns its keep.
Friedman relies on a lean staff in Austin. Several of his staff members have military-intelligence backgrounds. He sees the firm's outsider status as the key to its success. Straitford's briefs don't sound like the usual Washington back-and forthing, whereby agencies avoid dramatic declarations on the chance they might be wrong. Straitford, says Friedman, takes pride in its independent voice.
44. It can be learned from paragraph 4 that
[A] Straitford's prediction about Ukraine has proved true.
[B] Straitford guarantees the truthfulness of its information.
[C] Straitford's business is characterized by unpredictability.
[D] Straitford is able to provide fairly reliable information.

[解题思路]
本文的对应信息在文章的第四段。A选项与原文意思相左,因为文章只说公司对乌克兰的一场危机作了预测,并没有说明预测内容是否准确。B选项的表述过于绝对,而且文中也没有说司特雷福公司保证其提供信息的绝对准确性。C选项关于公司的这一特点在文中并没有提到,因而是错误的。D选项的表述是准确地,文中指出该公司是业界较为出色的一个,因而提供的信息比较可靠。
