D^isingreatneedofrulestobeestablishedandenforced

標準答案：D

知識點解析：屬事實細節(jié)題“選項A犯了夸大其詞的錯謖，文章提到互聯(lián)網(wǎng)將來

或許會成為人們做許多事情的第一選擇，并非現(xiàn)在就已經(jīng)是如此，故錯誤。選項B

犯了偷梁換柱的錯誤，互聯(lián)網(wǎng)引起社會經(jīng)濟災(zāi)難是有條件的，而非一定就會發(fā)生，

選項B將條件省去，只留下結(jié)果，故錯誤。選項C犯了曲解文意的錯誤，文章第

一句就指出，網(wǎng)絡(luò)技術(shù)迅猛發(fā)展，故錯誤。第一段最后一句指出，如果不建立并實

行一些規(guī)則的話，互聯(lián)網(wǎng)可能會對社會經(jīng)濟帶來大災(zāi)難，故選項D正確。

標準答案：C

知識》解析：屬事實細節(jié)題。仔細閱讀題目和文章可發(fā)現(xiàn)，題目是對第二段第二句

后半句的改寫，句子的主語就是可能造成互聯(lián)網(wǎng)崩潰的原因，即匿名的資金挪動，

故選項C符合題意。其他三個選項均出自原文，但與題目無關(guān)，屬于無關(guān)干擾，

故均錯誤。
