Network Safety
A House committee is reopening its investigation of Internet services that let computer users distribute music and movies online amid reports the same software was exploited to gain unauthorized access to government and private data.
The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee sent letters to the Justice Department, Federal Trade Commission and The Lime Group, which runs Lime Wire, a popular file-sharing service. The letters, signed by chairman Edolphus Towns, sought information about any such breaches and what the Obama administration and company are doing, to protect against them.
Internet file-sharing links computers across the Internet and allows users to access files stored on any other computer within the network. In the past, these networks have been popular among people who distribute popular music, movies and commercial software without paying legally required copyright fees.
The House committee held hearings in 2007. The problem of pirated music has since declined due to rising popularity of legal services such as iTunes, concerns over the threat of personal lawsuits by the entertainment industry and efforts by colleges to limit illicit data traffic on their computer networks. Lime Wire is the largest remaining such network popular among computer users.
Witnesses at the earlier hearings "easily obtained bank records, health records, military files, tax returns, corporate documents, and other highly sensitive private ides via the Lime Wire network", Towns and Issa wrote to Mark Gorton, chairman of The Lime Group.
They recalled that Gorton told lawmakers he would make significant changes in the software to prevent inadvertent disclosures of personal or confidential information over the Internet service.
"However, it appears that nearly two years after your commitment to make significant changes in the software, Lime Wire and other P2P (peer-to-peer) providers have not taken adequate steps to address this critical problem," Towns and Issa wrote.
Asked about the renewed investigation, Lime Wire spokeswoman Linda Lipman responded, "we at Lime Wire understand that Internet safety is the most important, and we strive to offer peer-to-peer’s most secure technology." She said the company had worked with other P2P providers and regulators to develop and implement protections, including changes in default settings; file-sharing controls; shared folder configurations; and sensitive-file-type restrictions.
"Our newest version, Lime Wire 5.0, by default, does not share sensitive file types such as spreadsheets or documents," Lipman said. "In fact, the software does not share any file or directory without explicit permission from the user."
Which statement about Lime Wire’s response to the renewed investigation is TRUE?
选项
A、Although Lime Wire 5. 0 still has the function to share sensitive file types, it will share with the permission from the users.
B、It promised that it would take adequate steps to solve this problem soon.
C、It argued that other P2P providers also allowed users to access files stored on other computer within the network.
D、It had already cooperated with other P2P providers to change the default settings in order to stop sharing sensitive file types.
答案
D
解析
事实细节题。由题干中的Lime Wire’s response to the renewed investigation定位到倒数第二.段可知,Lime Wire的发言人琳达·李普曼说其公司和其他的对等联网供应商合作发展和执行安全防护,包括在默认设置和文件共享控制上的改变,共享文件减配置,敏 感文件类型的限制。故[D]“它已经和其他的P2P供应商改变软件的默认设置以防止共享敏感类型的文件”与原文相符。[A]“虽然Lime Wire 5.0具有分享敏感文件的功能,但它一定会在得到用户同意的情况下这样做”,原文说的是Lime Wire 5.0通过默认设置已经没有分享敏感文件的功能了.故排除;[B]“保证会马上采取足够的措施来解决这个问题”和[C]“认为其他的P2P供应商也为用户提供联网共享其他电脑上的文件的服务”原文并未提及,故可排除。
