问题 For more than 1 0 years there has been a bigger rise in car crime than in most other types of crime．An average of more than two cars a minute are broken into，vandalized or stolen in the UK．Car crime accounts for almost a third of all reported offences with no signs th~／t the trend is slowing down．
    Although there are highly professional criminals involved in car theft，almost 90 percent of car crime is committed by the opportunist．Amateur thieves are aided by our carelessness．When the Automobile Association(AA)engineers surveyed one town centre car park last year，10 percent of cars checked were unlocked，a figure backed up by a Home Office national survey that found 12 percent of drivers sometimes left their cars unlocked．
    The vehicles are sitting in petrol stations while drivers pay for their fuel．The AA has discovered that cars are left unattended for an average of three minutes and sometimes much longer as drivers buy drinks．Cigarettes and other consumer items and then pay at the counter． With payment by credit card more and more common，it is not unusual for a driver to be out of his car as long as six minutes providing the car thief with a golden opportunity．
    In an exclusive AA survey，carded out at a busy garage on a main road out of London， 300 motorists were questioned over three days of the holiday period．24 percent admitted that they“always”or“sometimes”leave the keys in the car．This means that nationwide．a million cars daily become easy targets for the opportunist thief．
    The AA recommends locking up whenever you leave the car-and for however short a period． A partially open sunroof or window is a further come-on to thieves．
    Leaving valuables in view is an invitation to the criminal．A Manchester probationary service research project，which interviewed almost 100 car thieves last year，found many would investigate a coat thrown on a seat．Never leave any documents showing your home address in the car．If you have a garage．use it and lock it-a garaged car is at substantially less risk．
    There are many other traps to avoid．The Home Office has found little awareness among drivers about safe parking．Most motorists questioned made no efforts to avoid parking in quiet spots away from street lishts just the places thieves love．The AA advises drivers to park in places with people around-thieves do not like audiences．
Which of the following statements iS correct?
选项 A、In the UK，a million cars are stolen daily
B、In the UK，there are amateur car thieves only
C、There are more Car crimes than any other type of offences
D、One in ten drivers invites Car theft due to carelessness
答案D
解析 细节题。文章中并没有地方确切提到英国每天的丢车数量，因此A不正确：B“在英国只有业余偷车贼”明显与第二段第一句中提到的“很专业的罪犯卷入汽车盗窃”相矛盾；文章首句中只是提到汽车犯罪比大多其他类型犯罪要多，但并不是指任何其他类型犯罪，注意most other types与any other type的区别，故排除C；第二段第二句首先指出“Amateur thieves are aided by our carelessness”。接着以汽车协会的调查为例证明这一观点，其中就指出10％的汽车被发现没有上锁，由此可见D“十分之一的司机由于疏忽而招致汽车失窃”正确。
