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 nasty surprise3. 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 moves8, 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 ignition key. In the UK, technologies like this 13 achieve a 31 per cent drop in vehicle-related crime15 since .
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 , 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 expects.

答案与题解：
1. A 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。
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，因为不符合英语表达习惯。又如： They will graduate in one year.他们一年后毕业。
5. C 这里应该使用不定冠词，而且 miniature cell phone后面的并列定语都使用不定冠词。不能选择 an，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。
7. B 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. C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。
9. A 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，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 somebody’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。
Germs on Banknotes
People in different countries use different types of 1 yuan in China, pesos in Mexico, pounds in the United Kingdom, dollars in the United States, Australia and New Zealand. They may use 2 currencies, but these countries, and probably all countries, still have one thing in common1: Germs on the banknotes.
Scientists have been studying the germs on money for well over2 100 years. At the turn of the 20th 3 , some researchers began to suspect that germs living on money could spread disease.
Most studies of germy money have looked at the germs on the currency 4 one country. In a new study, Frank Vriesekoop3 and other researchers compared the germ populations found on bills of different 5 .
Vriesekoop3 is a microbiologist at the University of Ballarat in Australia4. He led the study, which compared the germ populations found on money 6 from 10 nations. The scientists studied 1,280 banknotes in total; all came from places where people buy food, like supermarkets street vendors and cafes, 7 those businesses often rely on cash.
Overall, the Australian dollars hosted the fewest live bacteria ---- no more than 10 per square centimeter. Chinese yuan had the most ---- about 100 per square centimeter. Most of the germs on money probably would not cause harm.
What we call “paper” money usually isn't made from paper. The U. S. dollar, for example, is printed on fabric that is mostly 8 .Different countries may use different 9 to print their money. Some of the currencies studied by Vriesekoop and his 10 such as the American dollar were made from cotton. Others were made from polymers.
The three 11 with the lowest numbers of bacteria were all printed on polymers. They included the Australian dollar, the New Zealand dollar and some Mexican pesos.
The other currencies were printed on fabric made 12 of cotton. Fewer germs lived on the polymer notes. This connection suggests that 13 have a harder time staying alive on polymer surfaces. Scientists need to do more studies to understand how germs live on money-----and whether or not we need to be concerned. Vnesekoop is now starting a study that will 14 the amounts of time bacteria can stay alive on different types of bills.
Whatever Vriesekoop finds, the fact remains: Paper money harbors germs We should wash our 15 after touching it; after all5, you never know where your money 's been. Or what's living on it
