参考答案【正确答案：E】
根据题干关键词"Britain’s Cabinet Office’s report"定位到第三段第一句In a report by Britain’s Cabinet Office last year，Detica，the software arm of BAE Systems，a defence company，put the cost of cybercrime to the country at a staggering £27 billion，Or 1.8％of GDP。此句意为“据英国内阁办公厅去年的报告显示，主理防卫业务的英国BAE系统公司的附属公司Detica给其提供软件助理，Detica在去年投入到英国国内的网络犯罪防范成本惊人，达到270亿英镑，占了GDP的1．8％”。故E项“英国已经投入很多钱去阻止网络犯罪”符合题意，为正确答案。
