13."Get your hands off me,I have been stolen,"the laptop,a portable computer,shouted.That is a new solution to laptop computer theft:a program that lets owners give their property a voice when it has been taken.The Program allows users to display alerts (警觉) on the missing computer's screen and even to set a spoken message.Tracking software for stolen laptops has been on the market for some time,but this is thought to be the first that allows owners to give the thief a piece of their mind.
Owners must report their laptop missing by visiting a website,which sends a message to the model:a red and yellow"lost or stolen"sign appears on its screen when it is started.Under the latest version (版本) of the software,users can also send a spoken message.
The message can be set to reappear every 30 seconds,no matter how many times the thief closes it."One customer sent a message saying,'You are being tracked.I am right at your door."said Carrie Hafeman,chief executive of the company which produces the program,Retriever.
In the latest version,people can add a spoken message.For example,the laptop's speakers will say,"Help,this laptop is reported lost or stolen.If you are not my owner,report me now."
The Retriever software package,which costs $29.95 but has a free trial period,has the functions of many security software programs.Owners can remotely switch to an alternative password if they fear that the thief has also got hold of the access details.
If a thief accesses the internet with the stolen laptop,Retriever will collect information on the internet service provider in use,So that the police can be alerted to its location;
Thousands of laptops are stolen every year from homes and offices,but with the use of laptops increasing,the number stolen while their owners are out and about has been rising sharply.
Other security software allows users to erase data remotely or lock down the computer.

分析 本文介绍了一种新型电脑防盗软件,这种软件不仅能向窃贼发送文字和语音信息,还能跟踪、远程改变密码以及收集网络信息帮助警方发现电脑位置,以减少手提电脑的失窃事件.
解答 36.B.词义猜测题.由第一二段可知,这种新型软件的新功能是可以向手提电脑偷窃者发出语音信息,如:Get yourhands off me,I have been stolen.这显然是表达电脑主人对窃贼的愤怒情绪的,故正确答案为B.其他同类软件具有向窃贼发出警告文字信息的功能,故A项和题干不能完全吻合,故选B.
37.D.细节理解题.由第二段"The program allows users to display alerts (警报)on the missing computer's screen and even to set a spoken message.以及 but this is thought to be the first that allowsowners to give the thief a piece of their mind."可知这个软件和其他软件的不同点是它能发出又声音的讯息,故选D.
38.A.细节理解题.由第六段"Owners can remotely switch to an alternative password if they fear that the thief has also got hold of the access details."可知主人能够改掉一些登陆细节A项说法正确.B、C是对本句的误解.由第九段Other security software allows users to erase data remotely or lock down the computer.可知,清除被盗电脑信息并非这种软件的功能,故选A.
39.B.主旨概括题.本文介绍了一种新型电脑防盗软件,这种软件不仅能向窃贼发送文字和语音信息,还能跟踪、远程改变密码以及收集网络信息帮助警方发现电脑位置,以减少手提电脑的失窃事件;故选B.
40.C.推理判断题.本文介绍了一种新型电脑防盗软件,这种软件不仅能向窃贼发送文字和语音信息,还能跟踪、远程改变密码以及收集网络信息帮助警方发现电脑位置;可知作者对此的态度是积极地;故选C.
