The Treasury could pocket 20 million a year in extra fines once the country’ s speed camera network is expanded. Motoring organizations warned that the【B1】______could become a poll tax on wheels,【B2】______huge number of drivers. There could be many more incidents of vandalism【B3】______cameras. The warnings came
【B4】______a Daily Mail survey found almost all the 23 police forces in England and Wales were either【B5】______to expansion plans or considering【B6】______.
Nationwide, the number of speeding tickets is expected to treble,【B7】______ 90 million a year.
【B8】______the scheme, police keep some of the cash from fines to【B9】______the costs of fitting and maintaining extra cameras and【B10】______that existing ones always have film in them. The rest will go to the Treasury. Both Ministers and police insist the scheme is aimed【B11】______at making roads safer. They point to trials in eight areas which cut collisions by a quarter and deaths and serious injuries by【B12】______a half.
But motoring organizations fear cameras will be sited on relatively safe【B13】______fast stretches to catch as many drivers as possible. Some forces are also expected to【B14】______the "threshold" speeds at which cameras are【B15】______to the absolute legal minimum-15 mph in a 10 mph limit, and 26 mph in a 20 mph zone. This could encourage drivers to stare at their speedometers instead of concentrating on the road, and【B16】______to more accidents. Sue Nicholson, head of campaigns at the RAC, said, "We don’t have a problem with speed cameras 【B17】______. But we do have concerns about【B18】______they are sited. Police risk losing credibility【B19】______motorists if cameras are seen as revenue-raising【B20】______safety devices."

选项
A、pledging
B、assuring
C、confirming
D、ensuring
答案
D
解析
考查动词辨析。四个动词都有保证的意思,但用法有细微差别。pledge sth.to sb./sth.意为“保证给予(支持等),以(名誉、誓言等)担保”;assure sb.of sth./that,表示“向某人保证…一定会发生、实现”;confirm意为“(尤指提供证据来)证实,证明,确认”。ensure sth./that意为“保证…的实现,确定…会发生”。pledge和assure都含有“向某人保证…的实现”的意思,但搭配中都需要有sb.作间接宾语:只有ensure不要求接间接宾语。本题空格处分词的逻辑主语是the costs,宾语是一个that引导的从句,因此只有ensure能和它们搭配,表示“费用用于安装和维修新摄像机,并且(费用)保证现有的摄像机中总是有胶卷”。因此答案为D.ensuring。
