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【C1】______could become a poll tax on wheels,【C2】______huge number of drivers. There could be many more incidents of vandalism【C3】______cameras. The warnings came
【C4】______a Daily Mail survey found almost all the 23 police forces in England and Wales were either【C5】______to expansion plans or considering【C6】______.
Nationwide, the number of speeding tickets is expected to treble,【C7】______ 90 million a year.
【C8】______the scheme, police keep some of the cash from fines to【C9】______the costs of fitting and maintaining extra cameras and【C10】______that existing ones always have film in them. 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. Some forces are also expected to【C14】______the "threshold" speeds at which cameras are【C15】______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【C16】______to more accidents. 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. Police risk losing credibility【C19】______motorists if cameras are seen as revenue-raising【C20】______safety devices."
【C12】
选项
A、in all
B、fewer than
C、at most
D、up to
答案
D
解析
考查语义理解与短语辨析。上文说,部长们和警察都坚持认为监控系统扩张计划有利于增强公路的安全性。空格所在句子则指出,他们举出了八个试点地区交通事故明显减少的例子。cut…by…这个结构表示数量上削减了多少。in all是副词短语,意为“总共”,不能与by…a half搭配。fewer than意为“不足”,at most意为“至多,最多”,这两个选项会削弱数据的说服力,也不符合此处的逻辑。up to表示“高达”,由于句中a half比前面的a quarter数量增高,所以up to比其他项更能体现逻辑上的一致性和递进性。因此正确答案应为D.up to。
