问题     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 (诈骗) 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.
Which of the following statements is mentioned in the passage?
选项 A、A strict law against computer crimes must be enforced.
B、Companies usually hesitate to uncover computer crimes to protect their reputation.
C、Companies will guard against computer crimes to protect their reputation.
D、Companies need to impose restrictions on confidential information.
答案B
解析 事实细节题。最后一段前两句提到，公司高管们担心，如果公众发现其电脑被盗用会造成负面影响。再结合上一段可知，这是在解释计算机罪犯逃脱惩罚的原因。由此可知，公司为了避免造成负面影响，保护其声誉，通常不愿意揭露计算机犯罪，故B项为答案，同时排除C项。文中并未提及针对计算机犯罪的法律和公司限制机密信息的情况，故排除A项和D项。
