41-43題為題組
Breaking into the computer codes (known as 'hacking') of banks, large companies or even government departments is the latest game for super-intelligent teenagers. One young hacker said, "Hacking is just intellectual. It's your brain against the computer. It's like climbing Mount Everest—it's something you have to do. You don't even need a very expensive computer—but you must understand everything about all kinds of computers."
At the moment most of these games are just fun for young people. But how long will it be before criminal gangs, like the Mafia, start to use computer experts to help them in their crimes? Future bank robbers will not need explosives to blow open bank safes—all they will need is someone who can break computer codes. Already in Britain people say that computer crimes are costing companies between 500 million pounds and 2.5 billion pounds a year. 【題組】42. According to the passage, breaking into computer codes of banks, large companies, and government departments is
(A) a widespread criminal practice. (B) a game for computer literate individuals.
(C) being studied by the Mafia for fun. (D) soon to replace coding bank safes.
