Car Thieves Could Be Stopped Remotely

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.

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.

1.A.off B.on C.at D.of
正确答案：A
答案解析：该段主要是说,如果车被盗,只要发出无线电信号,remote immobilizer就能使被盗车一旦停下就无法再启动。因此,应选择A.如选择B,switches the engine on（发动引擎)句子意思便不符合文章内容。C和D与switch不搭配。答案选A.
2.A.is B.was C.were D.are
正确答案：D
答案解析：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.答案选D.
3.A.can B.have to C.need to D.should
正确答案：D
答案解析：该句说,这种遥控技术很快就会开始一点一点地用于普通汽车。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。答案选D.
4.A.after B.for C.in D.at
正确答案：C
答案解析：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,因为不符合英语表达习惯。又如：They will graduate in one year.他们一年后毕业。答案选C.
5.A.the B./ C.a D.an
正确答案：C
答案解析：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an,因它后面的名词由辅音开头。答案选C.
6.A.With B.If C.But D.And
正确答案：B
答案解析：从语法结构来看,这里应选择引导状语从句的连词,其他选项都会造成结构错误。而且,If正符合句子的意思。答案选B.
7.A.helping B.being C.get D.be
正确答案：B
答案解析：prevent 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.A.whose B.who C.that D.when
正确答案：C
答案解析：从句子的结构来看,这里需要一个关系代词引导定语从句。关系代词的先行词immobilizers是物不是人,所以只能用that,不能用who.答案选C.
9.A.life B.cars C.warning D.problem
正确答案：A
答案解析：在四个选项中,B.C和D显然不符合文章的意思。这里作者要表达的意思是：使……日子难过,所以答案选A.
10.A.about B.to C.by D.on正确答案：C
答案解析：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。答案选C.
11.A.use B.inform C.ask D.teach
正确答案：D
答案解析：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都不能与how to结构搭配。答案选D.
12.A.let B.allow C.make D.give
正确答案：B
答案解析：them后跟着to,所以首先排除A和C（let sb.do sth.)句子的意思不允许选D.…… will not allow them to start ……表示“……不允许它们启动”。答案选B.
13.A.hav helped B.helped C.had helped D.was helped
正确答案：A
答案解析：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。答案选A.
14.A.speak B.have C.link D.put
正确答案：D
答案解析：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。答案选D.
15.A.lawyer B.doctor C.customer D.specialist
正确答案：C
答案解析：前面有go on the market，预期的人应该是customer。当然，specialist，doctor或lawyer也可以预期，但总不及customer那么自然。答案选C。
