问题     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 6 .
    Nationwide, the number of speeding tickets is expected to treble, 【C6】______90 million a year.
    【C7】______the scheme, police keep some of the cash from fines to【C8】______ the costs of fitting and maintaining extra cameras and【C9】______that existing ones always have film in them. The rest will go to the Treasury. Both Ministers and police insist the scheme is aimed 【C10】______ at making roads safer. They point to trials in eight areas which cut collisions by a quarter and deaths and serious injuries by【C11】______a half.
    But motoring organizations fear cameras will be sited on relatively safe 【C12】______fast stretches to catch as many drivers as possible. Some forces are also expected to 【C13】______the "threshold" speeds at which cameras are 【C14】______ to the absolute legal minimum-【C15】______ 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."
【C7】
选项 A、financing
B、profiting
C、funding
D、netting
答案D
解析 考查动词辨析。空格处所在句子的意思为：预计(在实施监控系统后)全国范围内违章超速行驶的罚单数量会增加两倍，______一年9 000万。net意为“净得、净赚(某利润等)”，可以表示“罚金为政府创收，带来更多利润”，符合语境，因此D．netting为正确答案。finance意为“为(计划等)拨款”，意思与fund很相近；fund意为“出资，为…拨款(后常接对象)”；profit意为“获益，得到好处；对…有用”，后面接by／from sth．／sb．，均不符合题意。
