Passage 19

(湖南省长沙市一中2010届高三第五次月考)

Starting next year, Ford Motor Co. will allow parents to limit the speed at which their teenage children drive their cars.

The company will make a 36 feature on many 2010 models that can 37 teen drivers to 80mph(130kph), using a computer chip in the 38.

Parents in the United States, where most teens can get their 39 at 16, also have the option of programming the car key to limit the audio system’s volume, and to sound continuous alerts if the driver doesn’t wear a 40.

“Our message to 41 is, hey, we are providing you some conditions to give your new drivers that may allow you to feel a little more comfortable in giving them the car more often,” said Jim Buczkowski, Ford’s director of electronic and electrical systems engineering.

More than 5,000 US teens die each year in car 42. The rate of crashes, fatal and nonfatal, per mile driven for 16-year-old drivers is almost 10 times the 43 for drivers ages 30 to 59, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

The new feature, called “MtKey”, will be standard on an unspecified number of Ford models when the 2010 cars and trucks come out late next summer. Ford arrived at the 80 mph limit even though freeway speed limits are lower in most states because it wanted to leave a margin 44 an unusual situation arises, Buczkowski said. In some states, freeway speed limits are above 70 mph.

The company already uses computer chips in its keys to prevent thefts. The car won’t start 45 it recognizes the chip in the key.

“ It’s 46 existing technology, and 47 the magic of software, we’re able to build features on top of the features we already have,” Buczkowski said.
