【解析】

本文为记叙文，文章主要介绍了美国宣布了一项计划来应对网络间谍和黑客的威胁。

1.根据上文“He said it is working with various states and government agencies.”可知，司法部正在与各州和政府机构合作。承接上文，C项“他们一起调查网络盗窃和网络犯罪并分享信息”切题，该选项的they与上文的司法部正在与各州和政府机构相呼应，故选C项。

2.根据前一句“And the attorney general called for increased co-operation with private companies.”可知，司法部部长呼吁加强与私营公司的合作。根据下文“He said: “A single trade secret ...out of business.可知，商业秘密价值不菲，一旦被偷窃损失巨大。”承上启下，G项“他讲了保守商业秘密的重要性”切题。该选项的he代指前一句的the attorney general，与后一句的he相呼应，故选G项。

3.根据后半句“aiming to protect America’s interests and benefits.”可知，这里的选项内容的目的是保护美国的利益，所有选项中，A项“新计划还要求对个人和国家犯下的罪行进行罚款和进行打击犯罪的贸易行动”切题，该选项的the new plan是aim的逻辑主语，其它选项的主语与后半句的内容在逻辑上都不搭，故选A项。

4.根据前文“The plan was announced the day after the American information security company Mandiant published the findings of its investigation of cyber-attacks.”可知，在美国信息安全公司Mandiant公布调查网络攻击调查结果的第二天，美国公布了这个计划。承接上文，E选项“他们表明，自2006年以来，已有140多家公司遭到袭击”切题，该选项的they与上文的findings of its investigation of cyber-attacks相呼应，故选E项。

5.根据上文“The victims of cyber attack include some of the biggest private companies in the United States like Apple Computer, Facebook, Coca Cola and many others.”可知，网络攻击的受害者包括美国一些最大的私人公司，再结合下文“The attack areas range from satellites…the United States.”可知，这次的黑客攻击范围很广，承上启下，D选项“据报道，黑客还攻击了联邦和国际机构”切题，故选D项。
