问题 Text 3 Employees are often said to be a company's biggest resource.It is equally true that they are its biggest liability.Scarcely a week goes by without a company falling victim to employees-turned-cnemies-or-embarrassments.The most familiar type of enemy within is the fraudster.The Economist Intelligence Unit conducts a regular poll of senior executives on the subject of fraud committed by insiders.Two year ago the poll discovered that about 70%of companies had suffered from at least one instance of fraud,up from 61%in the previous survey.Fraud is often petty.But fraud can also be more harmful:think of former employees setting up rivals using stolen technology and purloined client lists.Even more dangerous is the vandal.Thieves at least have a rational motive.Vandals are driven by a desire for revenge that can know no limit.A company that specialises in corporate investigation gives a detailed account of the story of a British manufacturing company that was under restructuring.A member of the infonnation technology department discovered that his name was on the list of people whose services would no longer be required.He built a"backdoor"into the company's IT system from his home computer and set about causing damage.What can companies do to reduce the threat from these wolves in sheep's clothing?A lot depends on which particular sorts ofwolves you are dealing with.Yet three principles are always worth bearing in mind.The first is that firms need to focus on the people who have the greatest capacity to do harm-those who control the money and information.The more complicated companies become,the harder it is to identify where power really lies.But one thing is clear.The more dependent on information firms get,the more IT specialists can compromise the whole business.The least companies can do is to keep a careful watch on the IT department.The second is that the human touch is still invaluable.Companies can certainly strengthen their hand by installing software that can identify unusual behaviour or monitor e-mail,or by employing professionals to double-check the accounts.The best way to avoid these problems is to treat our employees with respect.The biggest problem with trying to do more with less is that you can end up tuming your biggest resources into your biggest liabilities.The study conducted by the Economist Intelligence Unit informs us that_____A.many companies are stolen by thievesB.a large number of companies suffer from liarsC.senior executives are more likely to commit fraudD.rivals will steal technology and client lists

选项 A.many companies are stolen by thieves
B.a large number of companies suffer from liars
C.senior executives are more likely to commit fraud
D.rivals will steal technology and client lists

答案 B

解析事实细节题。根据定位词定位到第二段第二句和第三句。题目问的是经济学人智库的调查表明了什么，第二段第三句指出约有70%的企业至少遭受一例诈骗事件，故B项为正确选项。【干扰排除】A项“很多公司被小偷给盗取了”，原文中提到thieves（小偷），是指有的员工做了内鬼，盗取公司的资料等，并非公司真的被小偷盗窃；C项“企业高层更有可能进行诈骗”，此处企业高层是受调查的对象，而不是施行诈骗的人；D项“竞争对手会偷走技术和客户名单”，实际上偷走技术和客户信息的是本企业前员工，所以D项排除。
