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、better than
B、other than
C、rather than
D、sooner than
答案
C
解析
rather than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。全句可译为:Irvine勋爵声称,欧洲立法中包含了对隐私权的控制;对此,应该由法官作出解释,而不是议会。他的这番话引起了媒体的强烈抗议。两天后上述这封信就被公开了。
