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."
【C1】
选项
A、promotions
B、punishments
C、penalties
D、payments
答案
C
解析
考查名词辨析。文章首句的大意是:一旦扩大车速监控摄像体系,财政部每年就能增加2000万收入,这笔收入就是超速驾车者交纳的罚金(fines)。第二句紧接着提到:机动车组织警告说这种______可能变成对汽车征收的人头税。很明显,空格处填入的名词和上下文的fines和poll tax呼应,应表示“罚金、罚款”的含义。C.penalties有一个主要义项,表示“因违反法律、规则或合同而施加的惩罚(监禁、罚款等)”,符合文意,为正确选项。promotion意为“促进,发扬,提升”;punishment泛指“各种处罚或惩罚”,诸如法律、父母、老师以及神的惩罚等;payment作可数名词时意为“款项,款额”,均不符合题意。
