2017考研英语拓展阅读：男子偷卖90条国家绝密情报判死刑
A Chinese court sentenced a former scientific researcher to death for espionage and selling state secrets. He has sold tens of thousands of copies of classified information to foreign spy agencies, including 90 top state secrets.
The man, named Huang Yu, was born on July 28, 1974 in Zigong, Sichuan province. He majored in computer science in college and worked for a Chinese traffic encryption institute since 1997.
The Institute is said to have provided secure communication service for the Communist Party of China and the Chinese military. Suspecting that he might be fired from his job because of his poor performance, Huang decided to start selling secrets at the age of 28.
One day, Huang contacted a foreign spy agency online to sell the confidential information he acquired at work, and he met a foreign spy in a hotel in a Southeast Asian country in June.
Before Huang was detained in 2011, he used his position to make copies of secret documents, including top military secrets. He met with foreign spies 21 times under the cover of attending conferences overseas. He received $700,000 in compensation over the course of 10 years.
Huang tried to convince his old colleagues to come in on the operation with him after he left the institute in 2004. He also used the access of his wife and brother-in-law to acquire confidential information. They were eventually caught by public security authorities in 2011.
Huang’s wife was sentenced to five years in prison while his sister’s husband received three, both for leaking national secrets. Another 29 people involved in Huang’s operation were also punished.
法院以间谍罪和售卖国家机密判决了一名前科研单位工作者死刑。他向境外间谍机关出售了上万复制的涉密内容，其中包括90条国家绝密情报。
这个男人叫黄宇，1974年7月28日出生于四川省自贡市。他在大学中学习计算机科学专业，并从1997年开始就职于中国通信加密研究所。
据说该研究所为中国共产党和中国军方提供安全的通信服务。黄宇因怀疑自己可能因为工作表现不好而被解雇，从28岁时就决定开始售卖情报。
一天，黄宇线上联系了境外间谍机关提供他工作中获得的涉密信息，并于六月在东南亚国家的一家酒店面见了一名外国间谍。
在黄宇2011年被关押之前，他利用职权复制机密信息，包括绝密的军方情报。他以开会为伪装处境与外国间谍会面共21次。十年间他通过这样的勾当一共拿了70万美元。
2004年他离开研究所后，黄宇还企图策反老同事加入不法勾当。他还通过同在再涉密单位工作的妻子和姐夫获取机密情报。他们最终都被公安机关于2011年逮捕了。
黄宇的妻子被判五年有期徒刑，姐夫被判三年，二人都因泄露国家机密获罪。在黄宇的不法交易中还涉及另外29人，也都受到了惩处。
