【解析】本文介紹的美國特勤局的一些情況。它成立于1865年，有很多重要的工作，其中一項就是阻止不同種類的詐騙，諸如印假錢，信用卡詐騙和網(wǎng)絡(luò)詐騙等。保護(hù)總統(tǒng)的工作很難，尤其在戶外，他們不可能去搜查每一個人，所以他們必須謹(jǐn)慎，他們像影子一樣跟著總統(tǒng)。不幸的是總有人想找總統(tǒng)麻煩甚至想傷害總統(tǒng)，所以特工必須竭力去找到這些人。他們的工作雖然危險，但是很重要。他們是在保護(hù)總統(tǒng)和國家的安全。
（1）細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段第一句The American secret service began in 1865可知美國特勤局開始于1865年，故選C.。
（2）根據(jù)第二段第一句The secret service's earliest job was to stop people from making fake money可知，這種秘密服務(wù)最早的工作是阻止制造假錢。故選D。
（3）推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段中的句子Protecting the president is hard．The most dangerous places are outdoors ．Agents can’t check every person in the crowd, so they must watch the crowd carefully ．And they always follow the president．They’re just like the president’s shadow.為了保護(hù)總統(tǒng)特工必須一直很小心，他們就像總統(tǒng)的影子。故選A。
（4）推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中句子Unluckily, some people do want to give the president trouble, or even hurt him．The secret service agents try to find them and stop them when they want to do something bad．可知這里指的是人群中想給總統(tǒng)找麻煩甚至想傷害總統(tǒng)的人，故選D。
（5）推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段的敘述我們可知特工保護(hù)總統(tǒng)主要是懼怕戶外，他們不能搜查每個人。所以可知在公園里是最難的地方。故選C。
