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。
