Car Thieves Could Be Stopped Remotely Speeding off in a stolen car, the thief thinks he has got a great catch. But he is in a nasty surprise. The car is fitted with a remote immobilizer (使车辆不能调动的装置), and a radio signal from a control center miles away will ensure that once the.thief switches the engine(1), he will not be able to start it again. For now, such devices(2)only available for fleets of trucks and specialist vehicles used on construction sites. But remote immobilization technology could soon start to trickle down to ordinary cars, and(3)be available to ordinary cars in the UK(4)two months. The idea goes like this.

There are even plans for immobilizers(8)shut down vehicles on the move, though there are fears over the safety implications of such a system. In the UK, an array of technical fixes is already making(9)harder for car thieves.

In the UK, technologies like this(13)achieve a 31 per cent drop in vehicle-related crime since 1997. But determined criminals ore still managing to find other ways to steal cars. Often by getting hold of the owner’s keys in a burglary. In 2000, 12 per cent of vehicles stolen in the UK were taken using the owner’s keys double the previous year’s figure.

选项
A、helping
B、being
C、get.
D、be
答案
B
解析
根据前面看到的结构“经过编码处理的移动电话信号将告诉……”推测空格处很可能表达“防止汽车被起动”,因此判断B正确。prevent sb./sth.(from)doing...“防止某人/某物……”。
