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."
【B15】
选项
A、levered
B、geared
C、handled
D、triggered
答案
B
解析
考查动词辨析。空格处所在的句子的含义是:警察在设置摄像机的最低合法车速标准时,把正常的10 mph限速提高到15 mph(这样就会有更多的车辆被摄像机捕捉,判为非法低速行驶)。这里只有gear符合题意,因为它有一个义项是“对某事物加以调节以适应某种需要或达到某种水平或标准”,故选B.geared。lever意为“(用杠杆)撬动…”;trigger意为“引发”;handle意为“处理…情况”,均不符合题意。
