Question

閱讀表達。閱讀下面的材料回答后面的五個小題。（每小題3分，滿分15分）

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.

試題分析：

1.主旨題：從第二段的句子：In 1987, 1.6 million motor vehicles were stolen in the United States one every 20 seconds.可知文章講的是 Car theft in America / Car theft in the United States

2.細節題：從第一段的句子：Joe Templer should have known better.可知作者認為Joe Templer應該更了解。 Because he should not have been so sure of himself. / He should have known the situation of car theft.

3.從后面的句子：experts predict annual vehicle thefts could exceed two million by the end of the decade.說明是如果現在的形勢繼續的話： current trends continue / this situation goes on

4.翻譯這句話要注意：when引導的時間狀語從句，because引導的原因狀語從句：竊賊被捕后，法官們只能判他們緩刑而不能立刻把他們關進監獄，因為監獄里因為有很多的兇殘的罪犯而過度擁擠。
