For example,________(49)Investigation revealed that the extra cards she was being asked to punch were for dishonest transactions.In another case,dissatisfied employees of the thief tipped off the company that was being robbed.

All too often,their demands have been met. Why?________(50)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 the most confidential 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.

选项 _________(50)
A:a certain keypunch operator complained of having to stay overtime to punch extra cards.
B:It goes without saying that any one who breaks the law should be punished.
C:Because company executives are afraid of the bad publicity
D:a number of people who have done this and been caught at it have managed to get away without punishment.
E:not by systematic inspections or other security procedures.
F: But even if the crime is detected

答案C

解析空格前面提到“足够聪明的人出于自己的目的修改这些信息,他们可以获得丰厚的报偿。”做坏事却得到报偿,后面的even worse,更糟糕的情形是有些人的确这样做了,还逃脱了惩罚,所以D符合题意。
前面提到“电脑犯罪不容易被发现”。后面是一个条件句,"But even if the crime is detected",即使罪行被揭发,罪犯不仅可以不受惩罚地离开,还会得到更多前雇主的推荐信,听起来有些荒唐,这的确是计算机行业的现实,至于出于什么原因下面会分析到,所以选F。
第三段的第二句提到多少计算机犯罪是被意外发现(by accident)的,这些犯罪“not by systematic inspections or other security procedures”(并非是通过系统检查或其他安全程序)而被发现,这同样为介词by引出的方式状语,因此选项E正确。
该空格的后面提到了extra cards,在选项A中也涉及了额外的卡片以及打孔机操作员对此的抱怨,根据上下文应该选A。
最后一段开头提出了一个问题:为什么罪犯的要求往往得到满足呢?可以预测以下会分析原因,即公众得知电脑黑客的攻击后不利于公司的公众形象,即company executives are afraid of the bad publicity,因此选项C正确。
