More and more, the operation of our business, governments, and financial institutions are controlled by information that exists only inside computer memories. Anyone clever enough to modify this information for his own purpose can reap substantial rewards. Even worse, a number of people who have done this and caught 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 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 transaction. 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 has 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 there commendations he needs to continue his crimes elsewhere. [br] The passage is mainly about______.
选项
A、why computer crimes arc difficult to detect by systematic inspections
B、why computer criminals are often able to escape punishment
C、how computer criminals manage to get good recommendation from their former employees
D、why computer crimes can’t be eliminated
答案
B
解析
主旨题。英文的特点就是开门见山。此文亦是如此。文章第一段将主旨说得很明白:商业、政府和金融机构的运作越来越多地受到计算机的控制,需要的信息只能储存在计算机的记忆库里。所以任何聪明的人都可以按照自己的需求修改这些信息,为自己带来极大的好处。最糟糕的是:许多人被查了出来,但却丝毫不受处罚就一走了之。本段第三句话引出了全文旨在说明的问题。
