Joe Templer should have known better. After all, he works for a large auto insurance company. It won't hurt to leave the key in the truck this once, he thought, as he filled his gas tank at a self service gas station. But moments later, as he was paying the money, he saw the truck being driven away.

In 1987, 1.6 million motor vehicles were stolen in the United States one every 20 seconds. If _________________, experts predict annual vehicle thefts could exceed two million by the end of the decade.

Vehicle theft is a common phenomenon, which has a direct impact on over four million victims a year. The cost is astonishing.      

Many police officials blame professional thieves for the high volume of the thefts. It is a major money maker for organized crime. Typically, stolen cars are taken to pieces and the parts sold to individuals. But as many as 200,000 cars are smuggled out of the country every year. Most go to Latin America, the Middle East and Europe.

Only about 15 percent car thefts result in an arrest, because few police departments routinely conduct in depth auto investigations. When thieves are arrested, judges will often sentence them to probation(緩刑), not immediately put them in prison because the prisons are overcrowded with violent criminals.

One exception is a Michigan program that assigns 92 police officers to work full time on the state's 65,000 car theft cases a year. Since 1986, when the effort began, the state's auto theft rate has fallen from second in the nation to ninth.

76. Car theft in America / Car theft in the United States

解析:該題屬于主旨概括題。本篇文章講述的就是美國(guó)的汽車(chē)被盜情況。

77. Because he should not have been so sure of himself. / He should have known the situation of car theft.

解析:該題屬于封閉性問(wèn)題,考查學(xué)生根據(jù)文章細(xì)節(jié)進(jìn)行推測(cè)的能力。根據(jù)第一段作者的描述可以推測(cè)Joe Templer丟了汽車(chē)應(yīng)該怪他自己太大意了。

78. current trends continue / this situation goes on

解析:根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系判斷,專(zhuān)家們進(jìn)行預(yù)測(cè)是建立在這種情形如果持續(xù)下去的假設(shè)之上的。

79. 竊賊被捕后,法官們只能判他們緩刑而不能立刻把他們關(guān)進(jìn)監(jiān)獄,因?yàn)楸O(jiān)獄里因?yàn)橛泻芏嗟膬礆埖淖锓付^(guò)度擁擠。

解析:原文中沒(méi)有給出probation一詞的漢語(yǔ)意思,也可以結(jié)合下文中的not immediately put them in prison推測(cè)該詞應(yīng)該是“緩刑”之意。

80. The car owners can install theft-proof or warning system on the car.

該題是開(kāi)放性試題,考生只要能夠給出符合問(wèn)題要求的答案即可得分。
