题目内容

Joe Templer should have known better. After all, he works for a large auto insurance company. It won't hurt to leave the key in the truck this once, he thought, as he filled his gas tank at a self service gas station. But moments later, as he was paying the money, he saw the truck being driven away.

In 1987, 1.6 million motor vehicles were stolen in the United States one every 20 seconds. If _________________, experts predict annual vehicle thefts could exceed two million by the end of the decade.

Vehicle theft is a common phenomenon, which has a direct impact on over four million victims a year. The cost is astonishing.      

Many police officials blame professional thieves for the high volume of the thefts. It is a major money maker for organized crime. Typically, stolen cars are taken to pieces and the parts sold to individuals. But as many as 200,000 cars are smuggled out of the country every year. Most go to Latin America, the Middle East and Europe.

Only about 15 percent car thefts result in an arrest, because few police departments routinely conduct in depth auto investigations. When thieves are arrested, judges will often sentence them to probation(缓刑), not immediately put them in prison because the prisons are overcrowded with violent criminals.

One exception is a Michigan program that assigns 92 police officers to work full time on the state's 65,000 car theft cases a year. Since 1986, when the effort began, the state's auto theft rate has fallen from second in the nation to ninth.

76. Car theft in America / Car theft in the United States

解析:该题属于主旨概括题。本篇文章讲述的就是美国的汽车被盗情况。

77. Because he should not have been so sure of himself. / He should have known the situation of car theft.

解析:该题属于封闭性问题,考查学生根据文章细节进行推测的能力。根据第一段作者的描述可以推测Joe Templer丢了汽车应该怪他自己太大意了。

78. current trends continue / this situation goes on

解析:根据上下文的逻辑关系判断,专家们进行预测是建立在这种情形如果持续下去的假设之上的。

79. 窃贼被捕后,法官们只能判他们缓刑而不能立刻把他们关进监狱,因为监狱里因为有很多的凶残的罪犯而过度拥挤。

解析:原文中没有给出probation一词的汉语意思,也可以结合下文中的not immediately put them in prison推测该词应该是“缓刑”之意。

80. The car owners can install theft-proof or warning system on the car.

该题是开放性试题,考生只要能够给出符合问题要求的答案即可得分。
