In a letter to Gerald Kaufman, chairman of the House of commons media select committee, Lord Irvine said he【C7】______with a committee report this year which said that self regulation did not【C8】______sufficient control.

The Lord Chancellor said introduction of the Human Rights Bill, which【C13】______the European Convention on Human Rights legally【C14】______in Britain, laid down that everybody was【C15】______to privacy and that public figures could go to court to protect themselves and their families. "Press freedoms will be in safe hands【C16】______our British judges," he said. Witness payments became an【C17】______after West was sentenced to 10 life sentences in 1995.

【C20】
选项
A、assure
B、confide
C、ensure
D、guarantee
答案
C
解析
容易排除的是confide“向……告以心事”。assure“使确信,使放心”;guarantee“保证”;ensure的词义则比较广泛,不光有“保证”的意思,还有“使某事必然发生”的意思。这一义项也是在文章中应取的意思。文章最后一句话的意思是,有人担心这样做(给目击证人付酬)会鼓励目击证人在法庭上过分渲染他们的故事,从而导致有罪的判决。
