Car Thieves Could Be Stopped Remotely
Speeding off1 in a stolen car, the thief thinks he has got a great catch2. But he is in a nasty3 surprise. The car is fitted with a remote immobilizer, and a radio signal from a control center miles away will ensure that once the thief switches the engine____1____ , he will not be able to start it again.
For now, such devices____2____ only available for fleets of trucks4 and specialist vehicles used on construction sites. But remote immobilization technology could soon start to trickle down to ordinary cars5,and____3____ be available to ordinary cars in the UK____4____ two months.
The idea goes like this. A control box fitted to the car incorporates6____5____ miniature cellphone, a microprocessor and memory, and a GPS7 satellite positioning receiver.____6____ the car is stolen, a coded cellphone signal will tell the unit to block the vehicle’s engine management system and prevent the engine____7____ restarted.
There are even plans for immobilizers____8____ shut down vehicles on the move8, though there are fears over the safety implications of such a system.
In the UK, an array of9 technical fixes10 is already making____9____ harder for car thieves. “The pattern of vehicles crime has changed,” says Martyn Randall of Thatcham, a security research organization based in Berkshire11 that is funded in part____10____ the motor insurance industry.
He says it would only take him a few minutes to____11____ a novice how to steal a car, using a bare minimum of tools12. But only if the car is more than 10 years old.
Modern cars are a far tougher proposition13, as their engine management computer will not____12____ them to start unless they receive a unique ID code beamed out14 by the iginition key. In the UK, technologies like this____13____ achieve a 31 per cent drop in vehicle-related crime15 since 1997.
But determined criminals are still managing to find other ways to steal cars. Often by getting hold of the owner’s keys in a burglary. In 2000, 12 per cent of vehicles stolen in the UK were taken by using the owner’s keys, which doubles the previous year’s figure.
Remote-controlled immobilization system would____14____ a major new obstacle in the criminal’s way by making such thefts pointless. A group that includes Thatcham, the police, insurance companies and security technology firms have developed standards for a system that could go on the market sooner than the____15____ expects.

答案與題解:
1.A 該段主要是說,如果車被盜,只要發(fā)出無線電信號,remote immobilizer就能使被盜車一旦停下就無法再啟動(dòng)。因此,應(yīng)選擇A。如選擇B,switches the engine on(發(fā)動(dòng)引擎)句子意思便不符合文章內(nèi)容。C和D與switch不搭配。
2.D devices是復(fù)數(shù)形式,描述的也是目前的事情,所以應(yīng)使用be的現(xiàn)在時(shí)復(fù)數(shù)形式are。
3.D 該句說,這種遙控技術(shù)很快就會開始一點(diǎn)一點(diǎn)地用于普通汽車。然后作者推斷,在兩個(gè)月后這種技術(shù)就能用于英國的汽車。A是錯(cuò)誤選項(xiàng),因?yàn)樵摼淝懊嬗昧薱ould表示委婉的推斷,在此不會用can;B和C與意思不符,should也是表示推斷。
4.C 從搭配上來看,可以選擇B和C,但是從意思上來看,必須選擇C。for two months:已經(jīng)有兩個(gè)月了;in two months:兩個(gè)月后。不能選擇A,因?yàn)椴环嫌⒄Z表達(dá)習(xí)慣。又如:They will graduate in one year.他們一年后畢業(yè)。
5.C 這里應(yīng)該使用不定冠詞,而且miniature cellphone后面的并列定語都使用不定冠詞。不能選擇an,因它后面的名詞由輔音開頭。
6.B 從語法結(jié)構(gòu)來看,這里應(yīng)選擇引導(dǎo)狀語從句的連詞,其他選項(xiàng)都會造成結(jié)構(gòu)錯(cuò)誤。而且,If正符合句子的意思。
7.B prevent sth.(from)doing是固定用法,restart這里要用被動(dòng)語態(tài)being restarted,所以應(yīng)選擇B。
8.C 從句子的結(jié)構(gòu)來看,這里需要一個(gè)關(guān)系代詞引導(dǎo)定語從句。關(guān)系代詞的先行詞immobilizers是物不是人,所以只能用that,不能用who。
9.A 在四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中,B、C和D顯然不符合文章的意思。這里作者要表達(dá)的意思是:使……日子難過,所以應(yīng)選擇A。
10.C be funded是被動(dòng)語態(tài),空格后面是名詞短語,從句子的意思來判斷,這個(gè)名詞短語是動(dòng)作fund的執(zhí)行者,是謂語動(dòng)詞動(dòng)作邏輯上的主語,所以必須使用by來引導(dǎo)這個(gè)名詞短語。
11.D 這個(gè)句子結(jié)構(gòu)是:to take sb. time to do sth.。從意思上判斷,句子的意思應(yīng)該是:他說只要花幾分鐘就能教會一個(gè)新手如何偷盜汽車。所以,D是答案。use,inform和ask都不能與how to結(jié)構(gòu)搭配。
12.B them后跟著to,所以首先排除A和C(let sb. do sth.)。句子的意思不允許選D。... will not allow them to start ...:……不允許它們啟動(dòng)。
13.A 句子后面的時(shí)間狀語由since引導(dǎo),所以句子應(yīng)該使用現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)。
14.D 從obstacle in the criminal’s way這個(gè)名詞短語看出,應(yīng)選擇D,構(gòu)成put obstacle in sb.’s way(給某人設(shè)置障礙)這種固定用法。
15.C 前面有g(shù)o on the market,預(yù)期的人應(yīng)該是customer。當(dāng)然,specialist,doctor或lawyer也可以預(yù)期,但總不及customer那么自然。
譯文:遠(yuǎn)程制止偷車賊
超速駕駛在偷來的汽車?yán)铮弟囐\以為自己大獲全勝。但是他馬上就會又驚又惱。車上已經(jīng)被裝了遠(yuǎn)程制動(dòng)裝置,一個(gè)幾英里以外的控制中心發(fā)來的無線信號將確保盜賊一旦啟動(dòng)引擎,他就不能再次發(fā)動(dòng)汽車了。
目前,這種裝置只用于卡車隊(duì)或者用于建筑工地的特殊車輛上。但是遠(yuǎn)程制動(dòng)技術(shù)很快就會逐步應(yīng)用到普通汽車上。并且應(yīng)該在兩個(gè)月之內(nèi)用在英國的普通汽車上。
計(jì)劃是這樣的。把一個(gè)集合有微型無繩電話,微量處理器,存儲器以及全球定位系統(tǒng)的衛(wèi)星接收器的控制盒子安裝在汽車上。如果汽車被盜,一個(gè)被編碼的無繩電話信號就會告訴這個(gè)裝置停止車輛引擎控制系統(tǒng)來阻止弓I擎再次被啟動(dòng)。
甚至還有一些人主張計(jì)劃將制動(dòng)裝置裝在運(yùn)行著的車輛上,可是這樣一來人們就會擔(dān)心這個(gè)系統(tǒng)的安全性。
在英國,二系列的技術(shù)裝置已經(jīng)讓盜車賊步履維艱了?,敹√m多來自位于貝克郡的一個(gè)由汽車保險(xiǎn)工業(yè)投資成立的名為撒策姆的安全研究機(jī)構(gòu),他說,“車輛盜竊的手法已經(jīng)有所改變?!彼€聲稱只要是10年以上的汽車,他就能用幾樣簡單的工具在幾分鐘之內(nèi)教會一個(gè)新手怎樣偷車。
現(xiàn)代車卻遠(yuǎn)沒有這么簡單,因?yàn)樗鼈兊囊婀芾碛?jì)算機(jī)裝置只有接收到一個(gè)獨(dú)一無二的由點(diǎn)火鑰匙發(fā)送過來的身份密碼才可以啟動(dòng)汽車。自1997年以來,在英國,技術(shù)人員已經(jīng)利用此項(xiàng)技術(shù)幫助減少了31%的涉及車輛犯罪案。
但是不死心的盜賊們卻還在一直想方設(shè)法偷車。例如很多時(shí)候,他們在夜里盜走主人的汽車鑰匙進(jìn)而偷車。在2000年,英國12%的車輛被盜案是由于主人的鑰匙被盜,這個(gè)數(shù)字比前一年增長了1倍。
遠(yuǎn)程控制的制動(dòng)系統(tǒng)給盜賊設(shè)置了一個(gè)全新的障礙。包括撒策姆、公安部門、保險(xiǎn)公司以及安全技術(shù)公司在內(nèi)的一個(gè)群體已經(jīng)為體系開發(fā)出了一些標(biāo)準(zhǔn),它們將比顧客所預(yù)期的更早地被推廣到市場上。
