43.Which of the following best completes the passage below?
The computer industry's estimate that it loses millions of dollars when users illegally copy programs with out paying for them is greatly exaggerate. Most of the illegal copying is done by people with no serious interest in the programs.Thus, the loss to the industry is quite small,because__________.
(B)most people who illegally copy programs would not purchase them even if purchasing them were the only way to obtain them
(E)the number of programs that are frequently copied illegally is low in comparison to the number of programs available for sale
B 是答案。但我对E有点点疑问。。不选E的原因是不是因为copied是既成事实,而programs avaible for sale只是一种可能性(就是可能sold)。但因为可能存在虽然有大量的programs avaible for sale,但人们却还是选择illegally copy the program,导致有available for sale但卖不出去.如果改成programs sold就对了。。
不知道我的理解对不,请前辈们指点。谢谢!! |
