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 fixesⅢis 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 cal-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 ore 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 using the owner’s keys double the previous year’s figure．
Remote．con~olled 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．

参考答案:
1．A 该段主要是说，如果车被盗，只要发出无线电信号，retmote immobilizer就能使被盗车一旦停就无法再启动。因此，应选择A。如选择B，switches the engine on(发动弓擎)句子意思便不符合文章内容。C和D与switch不搭配。
2．D devices是复数形式，描述的也是目前的事情，所以应使用be的现在时复数形式are.
3．D 该句说，这种遥控技术会一点一点地，但很快地用于普通汽车。然后，作者推断，在两个月后这种技术就能用于英国的汽车。A是错误的选项，因为该句前面用了could表示委婉的推断，在此不会用can；B和C与意思不符；should也是表示推断。
4．c 从搭配上来看，可以选择B和C，但是从意思上来看，必须选择C。for two months：已经有两个月了；in two months：两个月后。不能选择A，因为不符和英语表达习惯。又如：They will graduate拥one year．他们一年后毕业。
5．C 这里应该使用不定冠词，而且miniature cellphone后面的并列定语都使用不定冠词。不能选择a|1，因为它后面的名词由辅音开头。
6．B 从语法结构来看，这里应选择引导状语从旬的连词，其他选择都会造成结构错误。而且，If正符合句子的意思。
7．B orevent sth(from)doing是固定用法，restart这里要用被动语态being restarted，所以，应选择B。
8．C 从句子的结构来看，这里需要一个关系代词引导定语从旬。关系代词的先行词immobilizers是物不是人，所以只能用that，不能用who。
9．A 在四个选择中，B、C和D显然不符合文章的意思。这里作者要表达的的意思是：使……日子难过，所以，应选择A。
10．C be funded是被动语态，空格后面是名词短语，从句子的意思来判断，这个名词短语是动作fund的执行者，是谓语动词动作逻辑上的主语，所以必须使用by来引导这个名词短语。
11．D 这个句子结构是：to take sb time to do sth。从意思上判断，句子的意思应该是：他说只要花几分钟就能教会一个新手如何偷盗汽车。所以，D是答案。use，inform和ask都不与how to结构搭配。
12．B them后跟着to，所以首先排除A和C(let sb do sth．／make sb do sth)。句子的意思不允许选D。…will not allow them to start…．：…不允许它们启动…。
13．A 句子后面的时间状语由since引导，所以句子应该使用现在完成时。
14．D 从obstacle in the criminal’s way这个名词短语看出，应选择D，构成put obstacle in sb's way(给某人设置障碍)这种固定用法。
15．C 前面有go on the market，预期的人应该是customer。当然，specialists，doctor或lawyer也可以预期，但总及不上customer那么自然。
