The rest will go to the Treasury. Both Ministers and police insist the scheme is aimed【C11】______at making roads safer. They point to trials in eight areas which cut collisions by a quarter and deaths and serious injuries by【C12】______a half.
But motoring organizations fear cameras will be sited on relatively safe【C13】______fast stretches to catch as many drivers as possible.

Sue Nicholson, head of campaigns at the RAC, said, "We don’t have a problem with speed cameras 【C17】______. But we do have concerns about【C18】______they are sited.

选项
A、hide
B、cover
C、conceal
D、veil
答案
B
解析
考查动词辨析。hide意为“掩藏,隐瞒”;cover除了表示“掩盖,覆盖”,还指“(钱)足够支付,够付”;conceal意为“隐藏,掩饰”;veil意为“遮掩,掩饰(某事物)”。空格处填入cover,表示“(从罚金中拿出)足够的钱支付维修和安装新摄像机的费用”。故选B.cover。
