选项
A、better than
B、other than
C、rather than
D、sooner than
答案
C
解析
此题属于语意搭配题。选项C rather than表示“而不是”,肯定该短语前面的事物,否定后面的事物,例如:I am bored rather than tired.从原文的意思来判断,应由法官对隐私权的控制作出解释,而不是议会。故选C 。选项A better than表示“比…好”。选项B other than表示“除了”,相当于except,例如:Everyone is here other than Tom.选项D sooner than表示“比…早”。这三个选项都与原文不符。
