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."

选项
A、pledging
B、assuring
C、confirming
D、ensuring
答案
D
解析
考查动词辨析。四个动词都有保证的意思,但用法有细微差别。pledge sth.to sb./sth.意为“保证给予(支持等),以(名誉、誓言等)担保”;assure sb.of sth./that,表示“向某人保证…一定会发生、实现”;confirm意为“(尤指提供证据来)证实,证明,确认”。ensure sth./that意为“保证…的实现,确定…会发生”。pledge和assure都含有“向某人保证…的实现”的意思,但搭配中都需要有sb.作间接宾语;只有ensure不要求接间接宾语。本题空格处分词的逻辑主语是the costs,宾语是一个that引导的从句,因此只有ensure能和它们搭配,表示“费用用于安装和维修新摄像机,并且(费用)保证现有的摄像机中总是有胶卷”。因此答案为D.ensuring。
