Car Thieves Could Be Stopped Remotely (遙遠地)
Speeding off (超速行駛) 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 (使車輛不能調動的裝置), and a radio signal from a control center miles away will ensure that once the thief switches the engine ____(51), he will not be able to start it again.
For now, such devices _____ (52) only available for fleets of trucks4 and specialist vehicles used on construction sites. But remote immobilization (使車輛不能調動) technology could soon start to trickle (慢慢地移動) down to ordinary cars, and ______(53) be available to ordinary cars in the UK____(54) two months.
The idea goes like this. A control box fitted to the car incorporates ____(55) miniature cellphone (移動電話,手機), a microprocessor and memory, and a GPS satellite positioning receiver. ____ (56) the car is stolen, a coded cellphone signal will tell the unit to block the vehicle’s engine management system and prevent the engine _____ (57) restarted.
There are even plans for immobilizers ____ (58) 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 _____ (59) harder for car thieves. “The pattern of vehicles crime has changed,” says Martyn Randall of Thatcham, a security research organization based in Berkshire that is funded in part _____ (60) the motor insurance industry.

Modern cars are a far tougher (艱苦的) proposition (任務), as their engine management computer will not _____(62) them to start unless they receive a unique ID code beamed out by the ignition (點火) key. In the UK, technologies like this _______(63) achieve a 31 per cent drop in vehicle-related crime 15 since 1997.
But determined criminals are still managing to find other ways to steal cars. Often by getting hold of the owner’s keys in a burglary (夜竊行為;盜竊). In 2000, 12 per cent of vehicles stolen in the UK were taken using the owner’s keys double the previous year’s figure.
Remote-controlled immobilization system would _____(64) a major new obstacle in the criminal’s way by making such thefts pointless. A group that includes Thatcham, the police, insurance companies and security technology firms have developed standards for a system that could go on the market sooner than the ____(65) expects.
