2.写出正确的句子，尽量用简单结构，写最有把握的词汇、短语。

as he filled his gas tank at a selfservice gas station. But moments later, as
he was paying the money, he saw the truck being driven away.

Vehicle theft is a common phenomenon, which has a direct impact on over four million victims a year. The cost is astonishing.……
Only about 15 percent car thefts result in arrest, because few police departments routinely conduct indepth autoinvestigations. When thieves are arrested, judges will often sentence them to probation, not immediately put them in prison
because the prisons are overcrowded with violent criminals.
……
Questions:
71. What is the passage mainly about?
以下对这个问题列举六个回答分析：
a. Vehicle theft.\=
b. About the car stolen problem in the United States.\=
c. The passage says about the high vehicle theft in the U.S.A..\=
d. The passage mainly talk about autotheft in the U.S.A..\=
e. The annual vehicle thefts is serious in the U.S.A..\=
f. Thefts: a social problem of the U.S..
该题是对文章的主旨提问。依据文章内容，本文的主旨是讲美国的汽车盗窃。答案a答出全
部内容且语言正确，得2分。答案b答出了全部内容但存在语言错误，应为“About the car
stealing problem in the U.S.. ”。因此该答案扣0.5分，得1.5分。答案c 答出全部内容，但存在动词词组使用不当，把tells about写成says about ；因此，该答案应扣0.5分，得1.5分；答案d 答出全部内容，但错在主谓不一致，应改为： The passasge mainly talks about auto theft in U.S..该题答案扣0.5分，得1.5分。答案e 有两处错误，一处有多余信息annual,扣 0.5分，二是主谓不一致，扣0.5分，得1 分，该句可改为： The vehicle thefts are serious in the U.S..答案f 因内容笼统，得0 分。因此，简答题在读懂内容的基础上，写出正确的句子才能得高分。
