18、Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once. The car, and the roads it travels on, will be 21 in the twenty-first century. The key to tomorrows “smart cars” will be 22 .

19、“Well see vehicles and roads that see and hear and feel and 23 and talk and act,” predicts Bill Spreitzer, technical director of General Motors Corporations ITS program, which is designing the smart car and road of the future. 24 40,000 people are killed each year in the United States in traffic acc

Each passag

23、e is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice. Passage One Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage. Speeding off in a stolen car, the thief thinks he has got a great catch

24、. But he is in for an unwelcome surprise. The car is fitted with a remote immobilizer (锁止器), and a radio signal from a control centre miles away will ensure that once the thief switches the engine off, he will not be able to start it again. For now, such devices are only available for fleets of truc

25、ks and specialist vehicles used on construction sites. But remote immobilization technology could soon start to trickle down to ordinary cars, and should be available in the UK in two months. The idea goes like this. A control box fitted to the car contains a mini-cellphone, a micro-processor and me

26、mory, and a GPS satellite positioning receiver. If the car is stolen, a coded cellphone signal will tell the control centre to block the vehicles engine management system and prevent the engine being restarted. In the UK, a set of technical fixes is already making life harder for car thieves. “The p

27、attern of vehicle crime has changed,” says Martyn Randall, a security expert. He says it would only take him a few minutes to teach a person 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 far tougher to steal, as their engine managem

28、ent computer wont allow them to start unless they receive a unique ID code beamed out by the ignition (点火) key. In the UK, technologies like this have helped achieve a 31% drop in vehicle-related crime since 1997. But determined criminals are still managing to find other ways to steal cars, often by

29、 getting bold of the owners keys. And key theft is responsible for 40% of the thefts of vehicles fitted with a tracking system. If the car travels 100 meters without the driver confirming their ID, the system will send a signal to an operations centre that it has been stolen. The hundred meters mini

30、mum avoids false alarms due to inaccuracies in the GPS signal. Staff at the centre will then contact the owner to confirm that the car really is missing, and keep police informed of the vehicles movements via the cars GPS unit. 31. Whats the function of the remote immobilizer fitted to a car? A) To help the police make a surprise attack on the car thief. B) To allow the car to lock automatically when stolen. C) To prevent the car thief from restarting it once it stops. D) To prevent car theft by sending a radio signal to the car owner. 正确答案： C 32. By saying
