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 from 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 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 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 police informed of the vehicle's movements via the car's GPS unit.
What's 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.
听力原文:M: I can't believe you're still driving around in this piece of junk.
W: I can't afford to buy a new car.
M: I'll bet you can't afford not to buy a new car.
W: What do you mean by that?
M: Have you ever kept a record of how much you spend to keep this car running?
W: Well, no. But I'm sure maintenance costs are not as much as a monthly payment would be.
M: Have you thought about your losses in pay from the days you've missed work because this thing won't start?
W: It can't have been that much.
M: There are also the tow truck fees; the taxi and bus fares when you have to resort to taking them, and the amount you spend on fuel for this gas-guzzler of yours.
W: All right. You've proved your point, but have you seen how much new cars cost these days?
M: You don't have to buy a new car.
W: Sure, I could buy a used car, but how could I be certain I wasn't getting a lemon? You know what used-car salespeople are like.
M: Why not get a used company car? You know, companies such as those that rent cars must provide their customers with new ones. The cars are well maintained, and there isn't the wear and tear on them that there is on privately owned ones.
W: I'll bet they're expensive.
M: Not anything like a new one.
W: Well, I'll give this new car idea of yours some thought.
