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."
【C20】
选项
A、in spite of
B、far from
C、rather than
D、by means of
答案
C
解析
考查短语辨析。in spite of意为“尽管…,不管…”;far from意为“几乎相反,远非”;rather than多用于比较两个事物的差异,它后面跟说话人不喜欢、不认同或者想要否定的事物;by means of意为“通过…的方式”。因此只有rather than符合题意,表示:监控摄像机被看成聚敛财政收入的手段而非安全设施。
