What is the difference between a computer virus and a computer worm? Both can infect and damage computer systems. However, computer viruses and computer worms differ in the way they reproduce and spread. A virus, which is short for "vital information resources under siege", is a program or code that secretly enters a computer by piggybacking on e-mail messages, files, or programs shared between two different computer systems. Then the virus infects its new host by attaching itself to the files within that computer and deleting or changing them or even overwriting entire programs. Just like a biological virus in the human body, a computer virus replicates itself so that it will continue to be contagious when data is shared with another computer system. In 2000, for example, the famous "Love Bug" virus, which traveled via e-mail messages, destroyed files in computers all over the world. Worms, too, are malicious programs that reproduce and spread. But unlike viruses, they do not need to attach themselves to other files. They are programs that run independently and spread on their own through computer networks. Thus they do not require human intervention to make their way from one computer to another. The famous Internet worm of 1988, for example, copied itself across the Internet, destroying many computer systems as it went. Currently, computer analysts are worried about the Sasser worm, which disabled computers in Britain, South Africa, and Taiwan.
Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard.
29. In what aspect do computer viruses and computer worms differ?
30. What can we learn about the "Love Bug" virus from the passage?
31. Which of the following statements is true about computer worms?
选项
A、They don’t damage computer systems.
B、They need to attach themselves to other files.
C、They could spread on their own through computer networks.
D、They replicate themselves when data is shared with another computer system.
答案
C
解析
选项中的They,attach…to…files,spread on their own,replicate themselves等表明,本题可能与某种病毒的分裂及传播方式有关。短文中提到,电脑蠕虫同样是可以复制和传播的恶意程序,但是不像电脑病毒,它们不需要依附在其他文件上,它们是独立运作的程序并且依靠它们自身在电脑网络里进行传播(spread on their own through computer networks),由此可知,答案为[C]。
