问题    SAN FRANCISCO—The attack had the hallmarks of something researchers had dreaded for years: malicious software using artificial intelligence that could lead to a new digital arms race in which A.I.-driven defenses battled A.I.-driven offenses while humans watched from the sidelines.
   But what was not as widely predicted was that one of the earliest instances of that sort of mal-ware was found in India, not in a sophisticated British banking system or a government network in the United States. As India rushes to go online, it provides a fertile testing ground for hackers trying their skills in an environment where they can evade detection before deploying them against a company or state that has more advanced defenses. The cyberattack in India used malware that could learn as it was spreading, and altered its methods to stay in the system for as long as possible. Those were "early indicators" of A.I., according to the cybersecurity company Darktrace. Essentially, the malware could figure out its surroundings and mimic the behavior of the system’s users, though Darktrace said the firm had found the program before it could do any damage.
   At times, these attacks are simply targeting more susceptible victims. While companies in the United States will often employ half a dozen security firms’ products as defensive measures, a similar company elsewhere may have just one line of defense—if any. In the case of attacks carried out by a nation-state, companies in the United States can hope to receive a warning or assistance from the federal government, while companies elsewhere will often be left to fend for themselves.
   Cybersecurity experts now speculate that a February 2016 attack on the central bank of Bangladesh was a precursor to similar attacks on banks in Vietnam and Ecuador. That hackers managed to steal $81 million from the Bangladesh Bank generated headlines because of the size of the heist. But what interested cybersecurity experts was that attackers had taken advantage of a previously unexplored weakness in the bank’ s computers by undermining its accounts on Swift, the international money transfer system that banks use to move billions of dollars among themselves each day.
Compared with the companies elsewhere, the advantage of the ones in the United States is that they can______.
选项 A、use more than ten infrastructures from security firms
B、defense the attacks independently
C、rely on help from the federal government
D、cooperate with some susceptible victims
答案C
解析 细节题。根据题干关键词定位到文章第三段第二句While companies in the United States will often employ half a dozen security firms’products as defensive measures…，该句意为“美国的公司通常会使用六家安全公司的产品作为防御措施……”。由此可知，A项“能够使用来自安全公司的十多个基础设施”不符合原文表述。B项“独立地抵抗网络攻击”所指对象是其他地方的公司，并不是美国的公司，故不符合题意。D项“与许多易受伤害的对象进行合作”并未在原文中提及。由本段末句“美国的公司可以指望得到联邦政府的警告或帮助，而其他地方的公司往往只能靠自己去解决问题”可知，C项“依靠联邦政府的帮助”符合文意，故本题选C。
