The government is to ban payments to witnesses by newspapers seeking to buy up people involved in prominent cases 21 the trial of Rosemary West.
In a significant 22 of legal controls over the press, Lord Irvine, the Lord Chancellor, will introduce a 23 bill that will propose making payments to witnesses 24 and will strictly control the amount of 25 that can be given to a case 26 a trial begins. In a letter to Gerald Kaufman, chairman of the House of Commons media select committee, Lord Irvine said he 27 with a committee report this year which said that self regulation did not 28 sufficient control.
29 of the letter came two days after Lord Irvine caused a 30 of media protest when he said the 31 of privacy controls contained in European legislation would be left to judges 32 to Parliament. The Lord Chancellor said introduction of the Human Rights Bill, which 33 the European Convention on Human Rights legally 34 in Britain, laid down that everybody was 35 to privacy and that public figures could go to court to protect themselves and their families. "Press freedoms will be in safe hands 36 our British judges," he said.
Witness payments became an 37 after West was sentenced to 10 life sentences in 1995. Up to 19 witnesses were 38 to have received payments for telling their stories to newspapers. Concerns were raised 39 witnesses might be encouraged to exaggerate their stories in court to 40 guilty verdicts.
选项
A、sketch
B、rough
C、preliminary
D、draft
答案
D
解析
draft此题属于语意搭配题。选项[D]draft作名词时可表示“草稿,草案”,即sth.not yetfinished例如:a draft for a speech;又如:The plan is in draft.(那计划正在草拟中。)draft也可转化为动词,例如:to draft a plan/a bill。考生可能熟悉该词的以上两种词性,而本题则是要求填人一个能修饰名词的定语,于是很多考生错误地首先就把[D]给排除了。事实上,draft可作为形容词使用,例如:a draft proposal;且bill后面的定语从句that willpropose…告诉我们这个议案还没有完全出台,还在草拟的过程中,所以选项[D]draft正是正确答案。选项[A]sketch表示“略图,粗略描写”(a short quickly—made drawing ora short written or spoken description),例如:a sketch of your house(你房子的草图);又如:a sketch of the author’s life(作者的简历)。选项[B]rough表示“粗糙的,粗暴的”,含not exact之义,例如:rough paper/ideas/behaviors。选项[C]preliminary表示“初步的,预备的”(happening before sth.that is more important,often in order to prepare for it),例如:preliminary rounds of the competition。
