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、assure
B、confide
C、ensure
D、guarantee
答案
C
解析
ensure此题属于近义词辨析题。选项[A]assure表示“使(某人)确信或放心”,例如:He assuredme that he was able to do that.选项[B]confide表示“吐露”,例如:confide the truth toone’s parents.选项[C]ensure表示“保证(某事会发生)”(make certain that sth.happens),例如:I am sorry I cannot ensure you a good post.选项[D]guarantee也表示“保证”,但是它的英语解释是promise to make sure that sth.will definitely happen,例如:They have guaranteed that they will repay the money provided by the bank.[C]和[D]在语意上还是有一定的差异,而[C]ensure更符合文义,是正确答案。全句可译为:人们担心这样的做法会导致人们受到鼓励而在法庭陈述中夸大其词,致使法庭作出有罪的判决。
