Question

Kate Anderson became an accidental car thief when she went to pick up her daughter’s car near an Ohio University building last week.Anderson saw the nickel­gray Toyota Camry and used her daughter’s key to unlock the car，start the engine and drive home.

When Charlie Vansant left class a short time later，he found only an empty parking spot.He first assumed the car had been towed，but when the police couldn’t find a record of it，they took a theft report.

The morning after Anderson took back the car，her daughter discovered the Camry in the driveway wasn’t hers.She found Vansant’s name on paperwork in the glove compartment and looked up his phone number on the Website for the university.

When she told Vansant the car was in her driveway，“It sounded real fishy at first，like maybe she wanted to hold the thing for ransom，”Vansant said!

He eventually went to the house with a police officer，where he was reunited with his car.According to a police report，the case was closed “because of the mistaken car identity.”Anderson wasn’t charged.

Vansant seemed to blame the car company more than the “thief”．“Her key fit not only my lock，but my ignition as well—so high­five for Toyota，I guess，”he said.

Toyota spokesman Bill Kwong said  key technology wasn’t as sophisticated as two decades ago，and there were so many ways to cut a key，making it possible for such a mix­up to occur.He said the company now has a microchip embedded(嵌入)in the keys for 90 percent of its vehicles that allows them to start only with the correct key.

試題解析：

1.推理判斷題。由第一段的描述可以看出，Kate Anderson開(kāi)走別人的車純屬意外，因?yàn)閮奢v車一樣，她誤以為是自己女兒的，用自己女兒的鑰匙打開(kāi)，開(kāi)走了。所以選B項(xiàng)，D項(xiàng)干擾最強(qiáng)，這可以根據(jù)倒數(shù)第三段最后一句排除。

2.推理判斷題。由倒數(shù)第四段他所說(shuō)的話“...like maybe she wanted to hold the thing for ransom”，可以看出，剛接到電話時(shí)，他以為對(duì)方是偷走車后對(duì)他進(jìn)行敲詐勒索。解答此題的關(guān)鍵在于知道ransom的含義。

3.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由倒數(shù)第二段的第一句可以看出，是這家車輛公司 ，也就是Toyota制造商對(duì)這件事件負(fù)責(zé)任。

4.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由上題的分析來(lái)看，只有汽車制造商應(yīng)該注意鑰匙的制造，也就是說(shuō)注意每輛車有別于其他車的特點(diǎn)，才能避免類似事情的發(fā)生。identity特征，特性。其他各項(xiàng)均可排除。.www.7caiedu.cn
