问题     More and more, the operations of our businesses, governments, and financial institutions are controlled by information that exists only inside computer memories. Anyone clever enough to modify this information for his own purposes can reap big reward. Even worse, a number of people who have done this and been caught at it have managed to get away without punishment.
    It’s easy for computer crimes to go undetected if no one checks up on what the computer is doing. But even if the crime is detected, the criminal may walk away not only unpunished but with a glowing recommendation from his former employers.
    Of course, we have no statistics on crimes that go undetected. But it’s disturbing to note how many of the crimes we do know about were detected by accident, not by systematic inspections or other security procedures. The computer criminals who have been caught may have been the victims of uncommonly bad luck.
    Unlike other lawbreakers, who must leave the country, commit suicide, or go to jail, computer criminals sometimes escape punishment, demanding not only that they not be charged but that they be given good recommendations and perhaps other benefits. All too often, their demands have been met.
    Why? Because company executives are afraid of the bad publicity that would result if the public found out that their computer had been misused. They hesitate at the thought of a criminal boasting in open court of how he juggled (诈骗) the most confidential (保密) records right under the noses of the company’s executives, accountants, and security staff. And so, another computer criminal departs with just the recommendations he needs to continue his crimes elsewhere.
It is implied in the third paragraph that________.
选项 A、most computer criminals who are caught blame their bad luck
B、the rapid increase of computer crimes is a troublesome problem
C、most computer criminals are smart enough to cover up their crimes
D、many more computer crimes go undetected than that are discovered
答案D
解析 推理判断题。第三段第一句提到，我们没有尚未发现的计算机犯罪的统计数据。紧接着第二、三句进一步指出，已被发现的计算机犯罪很多是偶然发现的。由此推断，还有更多的计算机犯罪未被发现，故D项为答案。第三段第三句表示，作者认为被捕的计算机罪犯运气不好，而不是被捕罪犯认为自己的运气不好，故排除A项；该段未谈及计算机犯罪的增加和计算机罪犯都足够聪明以至能掩盖他们的罪行，故排除B项和C项。
