Embezzlement, theft and trading securities【B1】______insider information are common forms of white-collar crime. The majority of cases involve low-level employees who steal because they are under【B2】______financial stress. Many plan to【B3】______the money back as soon as possible but may never do so.

【B4】
选项 A、disclosed
B、exposed
C、retained
D、discovered
答案D
解析 本题考查动词词义辨析。因为这些职员的偷窃行为涉及的金额很小，所以没有人会注意到损失，也不会被人发现。四个选项均与crimes形成正确的语法结构，但根据逻辑，[D]为最佳答案。[A]disclosed“被泄露”；[B]exposed“被曝光”。由于偷盗者的诡秘行为没有引起他人的注意，故排除[A]和[B]。[C]retained“被保留”，与该句逻辑不符。另外，根据下一段中…take years to discover…，也可以判断答案为[D]。
