Car Thieves Could Be Stopped Remotely
Speeding off in a stolen car,the thief thinks he has got a great catch.But he is in a nasty 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 trucks and specialist vehicles used on construction sites.But remote immobilization technology could soon start to trickle down to ordinary cars,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 incorporates (5)________ miniature cellphone,a microprocessor and memory,and a GPS 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 move,though there are fears over the safety implications of such a system.
In the UK,an array of technical fixes 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 Berkshire 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 tools.But only if the car is more than 10 years old.
Modern cars are a far tougher proposition,as their engine management computer will not(12)________ them to start unless they receive a unique ID code beamed out by the ignition key.In the UK,technologies like this(13)________ achieve a 31 per cent drop in vehicle-related crime 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.
1.A.off B.on C.at D.of
正確答案:A
答案解析:該段主要是說,如果車被盜,只要發(fā)出無線電信號(hào),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。答案選A.
2.A.is B.was C.were D.are
正確答案:D
答案解析: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.答案選D.
3.A.can B.have to C.need to D.should
正確答案:D
答案解析:該句說,這種遙控技術(shù)很快就會(huì)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(huì)用can;B和C與意思不符,should也是表示推斷。答案選D.
4.A.after B.for C.in D.at
正確答案:C
答案解析: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)。答案選C.
5.A.the B./ C.a D.an
正確答案:C
答案解析: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。答案選C.
6.A.With B.If C.But D.And
正確答案:B
答案解析: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(huì)造成結(jié)構(gòu)錯(cuò)誤。而且,If正符合句子的意思。答案選B.
7.A.helping B.being C.get D.be
正確答案:B
答案解析: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.A.whose B.who C.that D.when
正確答案:C
答案解析: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.答案選C.
9.A.life B.cars C.warning D.problem
正確答案:A
答案解析: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,所以答案選A.
10.A.about B.to C.by D.on正確答案:C
答案解析: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。答案選C.
11.A.use B.inform C.ask D.teach
正確答案:D
答案解析: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(huì)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。答案選D.
12.A.let B.allow C.make D.give
正確答案:B
答案解析: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 ……表示“……不允許它們啟動(dòng)”。答案選B.
13.A.hav helped B.helped C.had helped D.was helped
正確答案:A
答案解析: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)。答案選A.
14.A.speak B.have C.link D.put
正確答案:D
答案解析: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。答案選D.
15.A.lawyer B.doctor C.customer D.specialist
正確答案:C
答案解析: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。答案選C。
