单选题 According to the author, what will be the best policy for electronic commerce?

【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】文中第一段最后两句话指出:尽管政府想对电子购物加以严格的管制,但是让其自我管制可能更为明智(But politicians would be wiser to see cyberspace as a basis for a new era of corporate self-regulation)。同时,在第三段作者又提出最好让电子商务进行自我管制(Let the electronic businesses do the regulation themselves.),接着举出例子进行阐述。而文章末尾又总结道:电脑空间希望更少的消费者保护法律 (...the advent of cyberspace may argue for fewer consumer protection laws,not more.),因此可进一步确认答案为A)。从文章结尾the advent of cyberspace may argue for fewer consumer protection laws,not more.(电脑空间希望更少的消费者保护法律。)可以排除B);第三段首先提到国际合作,但接着谈到其困难:But that requires years of work and volumes of detailed rules.And plenty of countries have rules too fanciful for sober states to accept.(需要多年的工作和许多细节。很多国家的规则过于奇怪,另一些冷静的国家不会接受。)排除C);第二段提到政府保护,但此法也是困难重重:But governments cannot en force national laws on businesses whose only presence is on the screen.Even in a country where a clear right to compensation exists,the on-line customer in Tokyo,say,can hardly go to New York to extract are fund for a clothes purchase.(政府不可能对只在屏幕上出现的生意进行法律管制。即使国家存在明确的赔偿条款,东京网上消费者也几乎不可能因为买件衣服跑到纽约获得赔偿。)排除D)。
