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 substantial rewards. 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 be the victims of uncommonly bad luck.
    For example, a certain keypunch (键盘打孔) operator complained of having to stay overtime to punch extra cards. Investigation revealed that the extra cards she was being asked to punch were for dishonest transactions. In another case, dissatisfied employees of the thief tipped off (向......透露) the company that was being robbed.
    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 (耍弄) the most confidential 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.
Which of the following is mentioned in the passage?
选项 A、A strict law against computer crimes must be enforced.
B、Companies need to impose restrictions on confidential information.
C、Companies will guard against computer crimes to protect their reputation.
D、Companies usually hesitate to uncover computer crimes.
答案D
解析 本题是一道判断是非题。针对所给的四个选项，利用查阅式阅读法并结合原文相关内容，我们可知，由于公司经理们害怕，要是公众知道了公司的计算机被滥用了，这种坏名声会带来的结果。他们也不愿意看到罪犯在法庭上公开吹嘘自己如何在公司经理、会计和保安人员的眼皮底下耍弄和窃取最机密的记录。因此，计算机犯罪的罪犯们通常会拿着他所需要的推荐信离开被发现的地方而到别处继续犯罪去。因此，我们可以推断出本题的正确选项应是D“公司通常不愿意将计算机犯罪事件公之于众”。A、B、C与文章内容不符，因此，均为错误选项。
