问题 Which of the following is true about the gun murder on Boxing Day?
Why do criminals give up robbing the traditionally lucrative places?
选项 A、Old tools and techniques used by criminals are useless in these places now.
B、Modern guns cannot make a terrific noise to menace people in these places.
C、Modern devices and technological improvement protect these places.
D、Robbing these places is not so profitable and worthwhile as before.
答案C
解析 根据题干中的the traditionally lucrative places，可以定位到第二段第一句。根据这句可知技术方面的改善，如跟踪设备(tracking devices)，隐藏的相机使得银行、运输车这些过去很有利可图的抢劫目标得到了更加牢固的安全保护，只是把面罩拉下来盖在脸上这种做法根本无济于事。也就是说，现代技术和设备的改善把这些地方保护得让劫匪不容易下手。根据本段第三、四两句可知现在武装抢劫主要发生在街道和商店，在这些新环境中过去的工具和技术没什么用了，而不是说过去，故可排除A，文中提及现代的枪不能制造出令人恐惧的声音去威吓人们，这也不是劫匪放弃这些地方的原因，故可排除D；文中未提及抢劫这些地方不再如以前那样有利润和值得，而是因为不易下手的原因，故可排除D。
