• 根据下面资料，回答下列各题。 Many bankers may be worried about whether some fancy product dreamed up might yet lead to a visit from the police. Daniel Dantas, a financier, who has profited by operating at the middle place where business and government meet in Brazil, has been opening the door to find the police outside for much of the past decade. On December 2nd he was convicted of a less sophisticated crime: trying to bribe police officers. Mr. Dantas, who has acquired great notoriety in Brazil, was fined $ 5 million and sentenced to ten years in prison. He has appealed against his conviction. The charge stems from a police investigation into money-laundering (洗钱)known as Operation Satiagraha. It grew out of a previous investigation into Mr. Dantas use of Kroll, a security consultancy, to watch over his business partners. During this investigation the police seized a computer from Opportunity, Mr. Dantass investment bank, which contained data from the mid-1990s to 2004 and apparently showed suspicious movements of money. The judge found that Mr. Dantas tried to pay bribes, via two go-betweens, to keep his name out of the Satiagraha investigation. A man fitted with a bugging device was offered $1 million in cash, with another $ 4 million to follow, the police say. They claim that Mr. Dantass trick involved money travelling to the Cayman Islands, then via the British Virgin Islands to an account in Ireland, on to Delaware, and then re-entering Brazil as foreign investment. For Mr. Dantas his crime is a steep fall from grace. A man who sleeps little and socializes less, he is a vegetarian and self-made billionaire, a gifted financier who has serially fallen out with his business partners. He once controlled a large telecoms firm, acting for investors who included Citigroup. He says he is the victim of a conspiracy mounted by the government. It is Mr. Dantas supposed influence in government circles that has added to his notoriety. During the1990s, when many state-owned businesses were privatized, Mr. Dantas positioned himself as the man with the needed expertise and contacts. He enjoyed easy access to the government of President Femando Henrique Cardoso, including meetings with the president himself. That influence carried through into the government of President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. Mr. Dantas is alleged to have been one of the funders of a cash-for-votes scheme in Brazils Congress mounted by leaders of Lulas Workers Party in 2003-2004. Many of those who have had dealings with Mr. Dantas insist that these have been legitimate and conducted in good faith. They include Luiz Eduardo Greenhalgh, a lawyer and PT politician, whom he hired as a consultant. What kind of crime was Daniel Dantas convicted of according to the passage?

  A.A crime quite experienced and tactful.

  B.A crime by operating at the middle place.

  C.A crime attempting to temper police to work for him.

  D.A crime in money-laundering.

• 根据下面材料，回答下列各题。 Uke a tired marriage．the relationship between libraries and publishers has long been reassuringly dull．E—books，however，are causing heartache． Libraries know they need digital wares if they are to remain relevant，but many publishers are too careful about piracy and lost sales to c0．operate．Among the big six．only Random House and HarperCollins license e-books with most libraries．The others have either denied requests or are reluctantly experimenting． Publishers are wise to be nervous．Owners of e．readers are exactly the customers they need：book—lovers with money-neither the devices nor broadband connections come cheap．If these wonderful people switch to borrowing e-books instead of buying them，what then? Electronic borrowing is awfully convenient．Unlike printed books．which must be checked out and returned to a physical library miles from where you live，book files can be downloaded at home．Digital library catalogues are often browsed at night．from a comfortable sofa．The files disappear from the device when they are due． Awkwardly for publishers，buying an e—book costs more than renting one but offers little extra value． You cannot resell it。lend it to a friend or burn it to stay warm．Owning a book is useful if you want to savour(品尝)it repeatedly，but who reads“Fifty Shades of Grey”twice? E-1ending is not simple．however．There are lots of different and often incompatible e-book formats，devices and licences．Most libraries use a company called OverDrive，a global distributor that secures rights from publishers and provides e-books and audio files in every format．Yet publishers and libraries are worried by OverDrive’s market dominance，as the company can increasingly dictate fees and conditions． Library boosters argue that book borrowers are also book buyers，and that libraries are vital spaces for readers to discover new work．Many were．cheered by a recent Pew survey，which found that more than half of Americans with Hbrary cards say they prefer to buy their e-books．But the report also noted that few people know that e-books are available at most libraries，and that popular titles often involve long waiting lists，which may be what inspires people to buy． So publishers keep adjusting their lending arrangements in：search of the right balance．Random House raised its licensing prices earlier this year，and Harper Collins limits libraries to lending its titles 26 times． Hachita is engaged in some secret experiments，and the others are watching with held breath．In Britain the government will soon announce a review of the matter．The story of the library e-book is a nail-biter． What can be inferred from the fast paragraph?

  A.Libraries are eager to keep relationship with publishers．

  B.Several publishers have sold e-books to most libraries．

  C.Libraries care too much about piracy and book sales．

  D.Most publishers hesitate to cooperate with libraries．
