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."
【C13】
选项
A、but
B、whereas
C、though
D、while
答案
A
解析
考查逻辑关系。空格所在句子的含义是:(针对官方的论据,反对者立即提出了新的质疑。)机动车组织担心警察为了多开罚单就把摄像机装在相对安全但行车速度较快的直行道上。该句中safe和fast含义上有一定的矛盾性,而直行道(stretch)却兼具这两种特性,既安全又高速。but作连词时,有一种特定用法表示“但又…,同时也…”。由于whereas,though和while作连词只能引导从句,因此只有A.but正确。
