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.

选项
A、impact
B、incident
C、inference
D、issue
答案
D
解析
此题属于语意搭配题。选项[D]issue可表示“讨论话题”(a problem or subject thatpeople discuss),例如:We should raise the issue of unemployment.issue的这个含义与下文提及的concerns were raised…(人们关注此事)互相呼应,因此是正确答案。选项[A]impact表示“冲击力”,例如:The impact broke the windows of the car.该词的含义可引申为“影响”,例如:My father has a deep impact on me.选项[B]incident表示“事件,事变”。选项[C]inference表示“推理”,例如:What inference can you draw from this pas—sage?它们的词义都不符合文章此处的要求。全句可译为:1995年West被判十次终身监禁后,收买证人就成为人们关注、讨论的话题。
