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."
【B2】
选项
A、isolating
B、separating
C、alienating
D、detaching
答案
C
解析
考查动词辨析。四个选项都是动词的现在分词形式,第二句的后半句是一个状语结构,进一步揭示“罚款成为对汽车征收的人头税”(that the penalties could become a poll tax on wheels)给“众多驾车人员”(buge number of drivers)造成的影响。alienate意为“使…疏远…,使…变得冷淡(不再爱或信任)”,表示“(罚款的增多)使驾驶员不满从而疏远”,符合文意,因此C.alienating正确。isolate sb./sth.(from sb./sth.)意为“使…与他人/他物完全隔离,孤立…”;separate sth./sb.from…表示“把某物/某人从…当中分离出来”;detach sth.from sth.“将某物拆下,分开某物”,均不符合题意。
