问题     If you’re driving in Brooklyn, Ohio, and find yourself attracted by your surroundings, resist the urge to get hold of your cell phone and share the moment. The leafy Cleveland suburb is the first town in the country in which it’s【36】to drive and talk on a cell phone at the same time. "We don’t ban cell phones,"【37】former mayor John M. March. "But pull to the side of the road."
    It wasn’t the first【38】Brooklyn, with a population of 11924 and Coyne, 83, who served as mayor for 52 years,【39】the lead on driving safety. In 1966, after Coyne saw a child who was riding in the front seat of her parents’ car hit her head【40】the windshield (挡风玻璃), the city passed the nation’s first mandatory (立法规定的) seat-belt law.
    His idea to stop cell-phone users was【41】by another accident. "In early January 1999," he says, "our chief of police【42】a car smashed (撞毁) from behind by another vehicle." The driver of the second car was talking on a cell phone and, according to die chief,【43】talking even after the crash.
    The regulation【44】drivers to keep both hands on the steering wheel while talking on a cell phone. First-time offenders are fined $3, then the fine jumps【45】$100.
    Coyne doesn’t own a cell phone. "I’m not that important," he says.

选项 A、as high as
B、as many as
C、as far as
D、as well as

答案A

解析 本题为句子层面的介词短语辨析。文中说初犯者罚款3美元,再犯则罚金将高达100美元。上文“then the fine jumps”的句子里用了“jumps”一词,在这里指“激增”的意思,故选项A.as high as(高达)为正确答案。选项B,as many as指“(数目)达到”,不能准确表达“高达”这个概念;选项C.as far as指“远到”;选项D.as well as指“和……一样;除……之外(还)”都与句意不符。
