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 (發(fā)動機防盜系統(tǒng)), 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 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 of tools, but only if the car is more than ten 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 key (汽車等的點火開關(guān)).
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.
56. What’s the function of the remote immobilizer fitted to a car?
A. To allow the car to lock automatically when stolen
B. To prevent the car thief from restarting it once it stops
C. To help the police make a surprise attack on the car thief
D. To prevent car theft by sending a radio signal to the car owner
57. By saying “The pattern of vehicle crime has changed” (Lines1-2,Para.3) Martyn Randall suggests that _____.
A. Self-prepared tools are no longer enough for car theft
B. the thief has to make use of computer technology
C. it takes a longer time for the car thief to do the stealing
D. the thief has lost interest in stealing cars over 10 years old
58. What is essential in making a modern car tougher to steal?
A. A GPS satellite positioning receiver
B. A unique ID card
C. A special cellphone
D. A code ignition key
59. Why does the tracking system set a 100-metre minimum before sending an alarm to the operations centre?
A. To give the driver time to contact the operation centre
B. To allow for possible errors in the GPS system
C. To keep police informed of the car’s movements
D. To leave time for the operations centre to give an alarm

第三部分：閱讀理解（共20小題，每小題2分，滿分40分）

As China’s women’s gymnastics team enjoyed the glory of winning the country’s first team Olympic gold medal at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games，the young gymnasts took the opportunity to remind the world that they are old enough to compete．

Weeks before the Beijing Games, some international media raised questions about the ages of some of the members of China’s gymnastics team, particularly He Kexin and Jiang Yuyuan. They said the girls might be younger than 16, the minimum age for the Olympics. But the Chinese Gymnastics Association quickly provided copies of the gymnasts’ ID cards and passports, proving they are indeed old enough to compete.

In the final, He Kexin gave a clean performance on her favorite uneven bars（高低杠）, earning the second highest score after falling from the bars during qualification. “Although I fell down in the qualification, I became more confident today to make up for my mistake and I finally made it.”She said. It was a great moment for head coach Lu Shanzhen. “Our team made history today and proved to the world that we are the best.” the coach said, “The gold medal is not only for the gymnastics team，but also for the whole Chinese delegation at the Beijing Games.”

The coach owed the team’s success to a series of reforms. The Chinese team used to train a 1ot, but competed less, which led to poor results in international competitions. To improve their ability to compete and to strengthen their psychological power, the Chinese team sent more team members to compete abroad, so they could bring a competitive spirit back to the team. All six gymnasts in the Olympic team final were selected from fierce competition, and they proved themselves today.

1. Before the Beijing Games started，some international media doubted whether ________.

A. Chinese women gymnasts could win the team gold medal

B. He Kexin would fall from the bars during qualification

C. Chinese women gymnasts could make history at the Beijing Games

D. some Chinese women gymnasts were old enough for the Games

2. Which of the following statements is NOT true?

A. The international media’s doubts proved to be true.

B. He Kexin’s fall in the qualification had no bad effect on her performance in the final competition.

C. Chinese women gymnasts’ success at the Beijing Games proved that the reforms did work.

D. Each team is made up of 6 members to compete for the team gold medal in women gymnastics.

3. In the opinion of Lu Shanzhen, the key to achieving success for athletes is to________.

A. practice harder than ever                    B. experience more competitions abroad

C. have strong psychological power                    D. have a competitive spirit

4. The main purpose of the text is to________.

A. tell a story     B. provide evidence           C. give a report            D. compare opinions

Every culture has a recognized (公認(rèn)的) point when a child becomes an adult, when rules must be followed and tests passed.

In China, although teenagers can get their ID cards at 16, many only see themselves as an adult when they are 18. In the US, where everyone drives, the main step to the freedom of adult life is learning to drive. At 16, American teens take their driving test. When they have their license, they drive into the grown-up world.

“Nobody wants to ride the bus to school,” said Eleanor Fulham, 17. She remembered the pressure, especially from kids from richer families. “It’s like you’re not cool if you don’t have a car,” she said.

According to recent research, 41% of 16 to 19-year-olds in the US own cars, up from 23% in 1985. Although, most of these cars are bought by parents, some teens get part-time jobs to help pay.

Not all families will buy cars for their children. In cities with subways (地鐵) and limited parking, some teenagers don’t want them. But in rich suburban (郊區(qū)的) areas without subways, and where bicycles are more for fun than transportation, it is strange for a teenager not to have a car.

But police say 16-year-olds have almost three times more accidents than 18 and 19-year-olds. This has made many parents think carefully before letting their kids drive.

Julie Sussman, of Virginia, decided that her son Chad, 15, will wait until he is 17.

Chad said he has accepted his parents’ decision, although it has caused some teasing (奚落) from his friends. “They say that I am unlucky,” he said. “But I’d rather be alive than driving, and I don’t really trust my friends on the road either.”

In China as more families get cars, more 18-year-olds learn to drive. Will this become a big step to becoming an adult?

1.The story is mainly about _______.

A. the recognized point between childhood and adulthood

B. American teens want to drive a car when they turn 16

C. whether teenagers should have a car

D. the fact that it’s safer for teens to drive a car at an younger age

2. Which of the following is not one of the reasons that kids want to have a car?

A. With a car, it would be easy to move around.

B. A great number of teenagers have cars.

C. Having a car would mean more excitement.

D. Parents’ support for kids to have a car at an early age.

3..Which of the following is not true?

A. Some of Chad’s friends have cars.

B. When deciding whether to buy a car for their kids, safety weighs heavily on many parents’ mind.

C. In the US, 16 is considered the point between childhood and adulthood.

D. More kids from cities own cars than those from the countryside.

4.The word “l(fā)icense” in Paragraph 2 means closest to ______.

A. driving permit    B. ID card   C. learner’s permit     D. test result
