58.A根據(jù)短文第二段最后兩句Thismanwascaughtonlybecausehewasagambler.Whenthe

銀行的總出納員計算機(jī)犯罪被暴露，是由于他的名字在破獲的非法賭博的記錄中被發(fā)現(xiàn)的。

59.D這是一道結(jié)論方面的問題。全文敘述了竊賊用計算機(jī)犯罪的情況，我們再根據(jù)短文最后

一段中一位官員所說的"Ihaveafeelingthatthereismorecrimeouttherethanwearecatching.

Whatweareseeingnowisallsopoorlydone.1wonderwhattherealexpertsaredoing---theones

68.D敏感話題”是這篇文章的中心內(nèi)容。touchy表示“難以處理的；易發(fā)火的”。

69.C愛好為無關(guān)緊要的閑談，可以把對方輕輕松松地引入正題。

70.C雙方不熟悉便問對方“為什么是單身？”顯然不禮貌。

71.C這是考詞意，只有to。具有“太，過于”之意。

72.B此題是給NoahArkProject定義，見第一段，故選B。

73.A文中第六段首句話中提到。
