Speeding off in a stolen car, the thief thinks he has got a great catch. 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.

The idea goes like this. A control box fitted to the car contains a mini-cellphone, a micro- processor and memory, and a GPS (全球定位系统) satellite positioning receiver. If the car is stolen, a coded cellphone signal will tell the control centre to block the vehicle's 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 pattern 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(=smallest) of  tools. But only if the car is more than 10 years old.

Modern cars are far tougher to steal, as their engine management computer won't 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 getting hold of the owner's keys. And key theft is responsible for 40% of the thefts of vehicles fitted with a tracking system.

If the stolen car travels 100 metres without the driver confirming their ID, the system will send a signal to an operations centre that it has been stolen. The hundred metres minimum 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 the police informed of the vehicle's movements through the car's GPS unit.

A. allow the car to lock automatically when stolen

B. help the police make a surprise attack on the car thief

C. prevent the car thief from restarting it once it stops

D. prevent car theft by sending a radio signal to the car owner

B. self-prepared tools are no longer enough for car theft

C. the thief has to make use of computer technology

D. the thief has lost interest in stealing cars over 10 years old

59. Why does the tracking system set a 100-metre minimum before sending an alarm to the operations centre?

A. To allow for possible errors in the GPS system.

B. To give the driver time to contact the operations centre.

C. To keep the police informed of the car's movements.

D. To leave time for the operations centre to give an alarm.

60. The operations centre will first ______ after receiving an alarm.
