问题     Some try to reason with the police officer who has pulled them over
for some real or imagined traffic offense. But when law enforcement is
represented by a computer-driven camera that has immortalized your
violations in film, it is hard to talk your way out of a heavy fine. Yet that【S1】________
is precisely what some 300 motorists in San Diego succeeded in doing
last week that a superior court judge rules that pictures taken by the【S2】________
so-called red-light cameras were unreliable and therefore unacceptable.
    The first US court decision to reject all the traffic violations
catching on camera, the ruling by judge Ronald Styn has fueled debate【S3】________
over the growing use of the devices. Police departments swear, and
studies indicate that the robot cameras deter people in speeding and【S4】________
running red lights. Yet at least seven states have blocked proposals to
implement them, but opponents--ranging from House majority leader【S5】________
Dick Armey to the American Civil Liberties Union--argues that the【S6】________
cameras violate privacy and place profit above public safety.
    Part of the problem is that virtually all the devices in the place are【S7】________
operated by private firms that handle everything from installing the
machinery to identifying violations--often with maximal police【S8】________
oversight--and have an incentive to pull in as many driven as they can.
The companies get paid as many as $70 a ticket, and the total revenue【S9】________
is hardly chump change. “It’s all about money. ”says Congressman
Bob Barr, a leading critic. Not so, insists Terrance Gainer, Washington’s
executive assistant chief of police. “We have reduced fatalities. If some
company is making money for that, that is American way. ”【S10】________ [br] 【S8】
选项
答案 maximal—minimal
解析 语义错误。此处上文提到“几乎所有的监视设备都是由私人公司运作的。它们处理一切事务，包括从安装到认定交通违规行为，而这些通常未受到警察的监管”。由此可以判断，警察的监督角色最小，而不是最大，因此应该使用minimal。
