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、stated
B、remarked
C、said
D、told
答案
C
解析
said此题属于语意搭配题。选项[C]said在此处表示“据说,据报道”,用法为It is saidthat...或sb.is said to do sth.,例如:It is said that he was a singer when he was young.也可以说成:He was said to have been a singer when he was young.上文提到公众开始关注收买证人这一话题,此处意在说明原因(据传有19位证人夸大其词),故[C]符合上下文的意思。选项[A]stated表示“陈述,表明”,例如:Please state your name and address.选项[B]remarked表示“说,评论”,例如:remark on the new film。选项[D]told表示“告诉”。此三个选项都没有“据说,据报道”的意思。全句可译为:据说,共有19名证人被收买,向媒体透露他们的经历。
