大學(xué)英語四級(jí)真題及答案第一套
More and more, the operations of our businesses, governments, and financial institutions are controlled by information that exists only inside computer memories. Anyone clever enough to modify this information for his own purposes can reap big reward. 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 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 have been the victims of uncommonly bad luck.
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 (詐騙) the most confidential (保密)records right under the noses of the company’s executives, accountants, and security staff. And so another computer criminal departs with just the recommendations he needs to continue his crimes elsewhere.

參考答案：
26. D) 本題主要由第一段的內(nèi)容推理出來，同時(shí)兼用排除法。由第二段的前兩句話，可知計(jì)算機(jī)犯罪并非不能查出來，所以A)、C)不對(duì);由第一段的第二句中“for his own purposes”可以排除B)。
27. D) 第三段主要講的是我們還不知道有多少計(jì)算機(jī)犯罪未被發(fā)現(xiàn)，第二、三兩句說那些被發(fā)現(xiàn)了的都是偶然的，是他們的運(yùn)氣不好，顯然，沒被發(fā)現(xiàn)的要比已被發(fā)現(xiàn)的數(shù)量要多得多。
28. B) 本題表面要求尋找細(xì)節(jié)，但實(shí)際仍是一道推斷題，考察考生對(duì)最后兩段的理解。為什么計(jì)算機(jī)犯罪會(huì)逃脫懲罰呢?最后一段的.前兩句說得很明白，是因?yàn)楣镜慕?jīng)理們害怕the bad publicity，即是bad reputation之意，所以他們會(huì)在揭示計(jì)算機(jī)犯罪時(shí)而猶豫。
29. B) 文章有三處都提到了這個(gè)問題的答案，它們分別是第一段的最后一句、第二段的第二句、第四段。最直接的線索是第二段的第二句。
30. D) 這是一道難度較大的主旨題。答案A)和D)很相似，文章的很多地方也都講的是computer criminals escape punishment，但這是表面的，正是因?yàn)樗麄內(nèi)菀滋用搼土P，所以文章最后一句說他們可以到一個(gè)新地方繼續(xù)從事犯罪活動(dòng)，其結(jié)果自然是計(jì)算機(jī)犯罪消除不了，因此本題選項(xiàng)D)更佳。
