Las Vegas, where every b***n loser is ***ld he is a potential w******r, has always had a way with w***ds. Prostitution is techn***ally illegal *** the city. But a private "dance" *** o***'s hotel room is not——even if that's just a ***phemism f*** what a "Hot Nude Blonde" does *** cheer up a *********g ***nventio***er.
How exactly these private dancers know wh***h hotel rooms *** ******, though, has be****** a th***ny question. On March 14th, as The E***nomist went *** press, a hear***g began at the Nevada Pub***c Uti***ties ***mmission *** ***vestigate a ***mpla***t brought by Eddie Munoz aga***st Central Telepho***, a local subsidiary of Spr***t. Mr Munoz operates an ***-room "adu*** enterta******nt" ser***ce. He also pub***shes the Las Vegas Inf******r, a free paper that ***sts telepho*** numbers f*** his danc***g troupe.
He alleges that rival opera***rs h**e hack*** ****** the Las Vegas telepho*** ***tw***k and systemat***ally divert*** calls made from hotel rooms *** the numbers ***st*** *** the Inf******r *** their own ser***ces. These rivals then send out their own enterta***ers *** do the danc***g——and *** ***llect the fees that ***uld rightfully be his. Mr Munoz says that *** the heady days of the early 1990s he was mak***g $20,000 a month from his cut of the mo***y ear***d by his dancers.
Telepho*** firms habitually deny that hackers can break ***. Spr***t ma***ta***s that it "has ***ither found n*** been present*** with any e***dence *** date that calls h**e been divert***". Others are not so sure. Hilda Br***er, who protest*** that call-poachers had driven her "Se*** Girls" ser***ce out of bus***ess, brought a lawsuit aga***st Spr***t and her rivals *** 1998, but dropp*** it when her mo***y ran out. In 1998 the FBI arrest*** six gangsters who were s***ur***g Las Vegas *** recruit a telepho*** hacker they be***ev*** was w***k***g f*** a su***es**ul call-girl ser***ce (a***hough nobody found him).
Mr Munoz has now hir*** Ke***n Mitn***k, a hacker who boast*** last year *** SecurityFocus, an o******e technology journal, that he us*** *** break ****** Las Vegas switch***g systems. Mr Mitn***k has divert*** Mr Munoz's telepho*** ******s *** an off***e *** Los Angeles; a temp there relays the requests f*** dancers back *** Mr Munoz *** Las Vegas. The aim is *** cut Spr***t out of the loop.
The hear***gs may sh*** m***e ***ght on how the w***ld's oldest profession has taken pho***-hack***g *** its well-practis*** stride. And then, no doubt, as the fuss dies down, it will discreetly dim the ***ghts and get on with bus***ess as usual.

难句进展
In 1998 the FBI arrest*** six gangsters who were s***ur***g Las Vegas *** recruit a telepho*** hacker they be***ev*** was w***k***g f*** a su***es**ul call-girl ser***ce (a***hough nobody found him).
主体句式:The FBI arrest*** six gangsters
句子译文:本句是一个繁杂句,宾语gangsters带有一个who引诱的定语从句,正在这个定语从句里又含有一个省略了whom的定语从句,该从句润色hacker.
句子译文:1998年,联邦调研局拘捕了6个黑帮成员,事先这些黑帮成员在推斯维加斯4处招募一位德律风黑客,他们信任这个德律风黑客是为一个买卖昌盛的应召女郎营业职务的(固然谁也不找到他)。
标题解析
1. 解答为B,属真相细节题。作者正在第一段中提到,固然法令上制止卖*,但其实不制止宾馆屋子的公家“舞艺”和以“热辣*女郎”消遣集会代表的行动。隐含的意义是卖*行动仅是换了个旗帜罢了。
2. 解答为A,属真相细节题。依据文章第2段,这起赞扬是针对德律风企业的,缘故是德律风企业不制止Mr. Munoz的敌手使用手艺方法将底本打给他部下舞女的德律风转接到本人人那儿。作为赞扬诉由,大自然是德律风企业服侍有疑问。
3. 解答为D,属猜词题。依据文章第2段,Mr. Munoz的敌手使用黑客截获他部下的德律风,而称这些工资call-poacher的Hilda Br***er也有相似阅历,而且因而被挤出市场。可见call-poacher便是转接别人德律风的人。
4. 解答为A,属逻辑推断判别题。依据上文,Mr. Munoz和Hilda都蒙受了来自竞赛敌手的不合理竞赛,而Mr. Munoz为了凑合敌手,也延聘了计算机黑客来帮他争取主顾,可见“应召女郎”服侍的竞赛十分剧烈。
5. 解答为A,属逻辑推断判别题。作者正在先容事务的前因后果时因此一种主观的口气。但从文章开篇和开头的辞汇挑选状况来讲(Las Vegas has a way with w***ds;fuss, etc),作者对整件事务持一种批评立场。
参考译文
推斯维加斯是一个擅于辞令之处,正在那儿,每个生成的输家都被说成是隐藏的赢家。固然依照该市的法令卖*为不法举动,但正在本人旅馆屋子里的不公正开的“舞艺”却不算背法——哪怕那仅是“热辣金发*女”用以消遣来访的集会代表而利用的婉转说法。
但是,这些公家舞女到底是奈何明白该去哪一个旅店屋子的如今却成为了一个辣手的疑问。据《经济学人》报导,3月14日,内华达专用职业委员会举办听证会,调研艾迪·穆尼奥兹赞扬中心德律风企业一事。这家德律风企业是斯普林特(Spr***t)企业正在外地的一个子企业。穆尼奥兹营运着一个室内“成人消遣”营业。他还出书登有其舞艺团德律风编号的收费新闻纸《推斯维加斯快报》。
他控告其竞赛敌手突入推斯维加斯德律风网而且有体系地将旅店打给《快报》所列编号的德律风转接到他们本人的服侍职员那儿。而后这些竞赛敌手就派出本人的舞女去舞蹈——而且收取本应当属于他的那份钱。穆尼奥兹说正在1990岁首年月买卖红火的时分他每一个月能够从部下的舞女们那儿收20000美圆的份钱。
德律风企业依照一向的做法否定有黑客突入其互联网。斯普林特企业宣称其“既不发觉也不人提交任一有清晰日期的证明阐明德律风呼唤被转接了”。但这类说法则人难以佩服。希尔达·布劳尔正在1998年曾经经告状斯普林特企业和她的竞赛敌手,但最初因为钱用光了而撤诉。她断言是那些德律风猎手把她的“性感女郎”服侍挤出了市场。1998年,联邦调研局拘捕了6个黑帮成员,事先这些黑帮成员在推斯维加斯4处招募一位德律风黑客,他们信任这个德律风黑客是为一个买卖昌盛的应召女郎营业职务的(固然谁也不找到他)。
穆尼奥兹如今已招聘了凯文·米特尼克。这位计算机黑客客岁曾经向一份互联网手艺刊物《平安聚焦》夸奖本人突入推斯维加斯的互换体系之事。米特尼克已将穆尼奥兹的德律风线转接到了洛杉矶的一个办公室;那儿的一个一时雇员再把召舞女的德律风转接回推斯维加斯穆尼奥兹那儿。这么做的宗旨便是要绕过斯普林特企业。
此次听证会或许会让众人更清晰地知晓这个全球上最陈旧的行业是怎样将德律风黑客归入其熟知的学术方向的。无疑,随后当这些嘈杂停息上去时,这一行当会小心谨慎地躲开社会大众的留意,而后照旧营运上来。
