More and more, the operations of our businesses, governments, and financial institutions and controlled by information that exists only inside computer memories. Anyone clever enough to modify this information for his purpose 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 growing recommendation from his former employers. Of course, we have no statistics on crime 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 been the victims of uncommonly bad luck. For example, a certain key- punch operator complained of having to stay overtime to push 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 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 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 that needs to continue his crimes elsewhere.
The passage is mainly about______
选项
A、why computer criminals are often able to escape punishment
B、why computer crimes are difficult to detect by systematic inspections
C、how computer criminals manage to get good recommendations from their former employers
D、why computer crimes can’ t be eliminated
答案
A
解析
这篇文章的主要意思为:计算机犯罪分子为什么经常能逃避惩罚。第一段指出,商业、政府、金融机构的运作越来越受计算机的控制,需要的信息只能储存在计算机的记忆库中(computer memories),所以,每个脑瓜聪明的人都可以根据自己的需要修改这些信息,为自己带来极大的好处。最糟糕的是:许多人这样做了,被查出了,但却丝毫不受惩罚就一走了之。第三句话引出了全文旨在说明的问题。另外,第二段第二句提到了这一主题,第五、六段照应了这一主题。
