问题     Residents could be forced to rise from bed and put out their bins at 5 am under proposals to keep streets tidier. They would only be able to leave waste on the public highway for collection during two hour-long【C1】______—from 5 pm to 6 pm, and from 5 am to 6 am. Collections of residential and commercial waste were then【C2】______for between 6 am and 8 am, and 6 pm and 8 pm.
    Those residents who fail to meet the restrictions【C3】______by Merton Council, in south London, will be fined. The council says it hopes the move will "improve the cleanliness and overall street environment" by reducing the amount of time waste is left on the street for collection.
    In a statement the council said: "Merton Council’s drive to keep the borough’s streets clean is taking another positive step with proposals to introduce a time-specific waste collection scheme in Wimbledon." However with many working residents【C4】______to arrive home from work after 6 pm, homeowners will be forced to rise at 5 am to put out their waste.
    A trial【C5】______is expected to take place in a defined area of Wimbledon Village and Wimbledon town centre from April,【C6】______a consultation process.
    Councilor Mark Betteridge, cabinet member for performance and implementation, said: "Time【C7】______will help improve the cleanliness of our streets and make our town center more pleasant and attractive for all, because we want to make Wimbledon a【C8】______town centre for people to visit. I would encourage residents and local businesses in the proposed time to feed back their views on the scheme to Merton so we can ensure all views are considered."
    An informal consultation on the proposals will take place over the coming weeks when officers will be speaking to businesses and residents about the plans. A council spokesman said residents in【C9】______areas would have a three-month trial before they would be【C10】______to fines.

B)affected G)imperative L)run
C)banding H)imposed M)slots
D)connecting I)influential N)subject
E)destination J)instantly O)timed [br] 【C8】
选项
答案 E
解析 名词辨析题。空格所在短语是make+sth．+sth．结构，意为“使……成为，让……变成”。空格前的a和空格后的名词短语要求空格处应是形容词或者名词作定语。从句意上看，之所以要保持街道卫生是因为政府想把温布尔顿打造成旅游——。选项E)和I)均符合句意，但I)influential要求前面是不定冠词an，故排除。因此，答案为E)destination“目的地，终点”。
