Choose the best word(s) for each numbered blank and mark A, B, C or D.（分数：40.0
20、0）_解析：The government is to ban payments to witnesses by newspapers seeking to buy up people involved in prominent cases【C1】_the trial of Rosemary West. In a significant【C2】_of legal controls over the press, Lord Irvine, the Lord Chancellor, will introduce a【C3】_bill that will propose making payments

Concerns were raised【C19】_witnesses might be encouraged to exaggerate their stories in court to【C20】_guilty verdicts.（分数：40.00）(1).【C1】（分数：2.00）A.as to
25、B.for instanceC.in particularD.such as 解析：解析：考查逻辑关系。空格前后是 prominent cases和 the trial of Rosemary West，前者泛指“一些著名的案件”，后者是一个具体的案件，可见两者是例证关系。因此选 Dsuch as，表示举例，一般连接名词或名词性短语。for instance 可表示“举例”，但放在句中多为插入语，且作状语。as to“至于，关于”；in particular“特别，尤其”，不符合题意。(2).【C2】（分数：2.00）A.tightening B.intensifyingC.focusingD
26、.fastening解析：解析：考查动词辨析。本题需填入一个能与 controls搭配的中心动词。根据下文可知 controls这个宾语具体指的是“政府对媒体的法律控制”，且文章的基本导向是“加强”控制，因此选Atightening。其他三项都不与 control搭配，focus 意为“把注意力等集中在”，fasten 表“扣紧，扎牢”的含义时多接具体名词，intensify 侧重于强调数量、活动、情感的增加或增强。(3).【C3】（分数：2.00）A.sketchB.roughC.preliminaryD.draft 解析：解析：考查固定搭配。本题要求考生判断哪个选项与 bill搭配。dra
27、ft bill 是法律中的一个固定搭配，意为“草案，(提交议会讨论的)法案”。其他三个选项虽然不与 bill搭配，但都可以表示类似于“初步的，不完整的，简略的”的含义。sketch 的搭配有 sketch map(略图、示意图)，sketch plan(草拟计划)；rough 的搭配有 a rough drawing(草图)；preliminary 强调“初步的”，如：a preliminary examination(初试)。(4).【C4】（分数：2.00）A.illogicalB.illegal C.improbableD.improper解析：解析：考查形容词辨析。本段第一句提到“政府
28、要禁止报界收买一些要案的证人的举动”，第二段首句紧接着提到“为了加强对报界的法律控制，大法官埃尔温勋爵将要提出一个法案的草案”。从逻辑上讲，政府和大法官的行为应该是一致的。那么大法官提出法律草案的目的也是反对报界收买证人的做法。因此 Billegal“非法的”强调不符合法律规定，符合题意。其他三项 illogical“不合逻辑的”；improbable“不可能的”；improper“不得体的”，均不符合题意。(5).【C5】（分数：2.00）A.publicity B.penaltyC.popularityD.peculiarity解析：解析：考查名词辨析。从结构上看，空格处填入的名词，既是
29、control的宾语，又是 that引导的定语从句修饰的先行词，即符合 give sthto a case 的搭配。符合这两个要求的只有选项Apublicity，give publicity to sth“宣扬公布某事”。整个句子大意为：草案提议对报界付款给证人的做法定为非法，并严格控制案件的公开程度。penalty“惩罚”，popularity“流行”，peculiarity“古怪”，与题意无关。(6).【C6】（分数：2.00）A.sinceB.ifC.before D.as解析：解析：考查逻辑关系。空格前后“严格限制案件的公开程度”和“审判开始”。根据上下文推理，政府之所以要禁止报界付钱
30、给案件的证人，是因为新闻界要把这些证人的观点公诸于众，这些观点难免夹杂个人的因素，而司法要求的是公正，不能因为这些观点影响案件的审理。因此要严格控制的应该是案件在审理开始之前就过分公开，故选 Cbefore。(7).【C7】（分数：2.00）A.sidedB.sharedC.compliedD.agreed 解析：解析：考查动词辨析。此处动词短语为_with，且要与宾语 a committee report(委员会的报告)搭配，因此选 Dagreed，意为“埃尔温勋爵阐明自己赞同委员会今年的报告”。sided with“支持，站在一边”，后面一般连接“某人”。shared“分享”，compli
31、ed“遵守”，均不合适。(8).【C8】（分数：2.00）A.presentB.offer C.manifestD.indicate解析：解析：考查动词辨析。本题再次考查了动词与 control的搭配。根据上下文，这里指的应是埃尔温勋爵批评报界收买证人、随意公开案件的情况，自我约束力度不够。只有 Boffer 合适，意为“自我约束不能提供足够的监控”。present“介绍，呈现”，manifest“证明，显示”，indicate“表明，指出”，均与题意不符。(9).【C9】（分数：2.00）A.ReleaseB.Publication C.PrintingD.Exposure解析：解析：考查名
32、词辨析。此处意为“这封信的_在两天后发生了”。只有 BPublication“出版，发表”最合适，表达的含义是“两天后，这封信便公布于众”。Release“宣布，发布”，多用于很正式的消息发布、影片或者书籍发行。Printing“印刷”，不符合题意。Exposure“暴露，曝光”，多指不好的事情，如违法或犯罪等。(10).【C10】（分数：2.00）A.storm B.rageC.flareD.flash解析：解析：考查名词辨析。此处短语是 a_ of，修饰 media protest，描述了媒体抗议的程度。从文意来看，应是“(引起了)一片(媒体的抗议)”，因此选 Astorm。a storm
33、 of“暴风雨般的”，表示程度。rage“暴怒，大怒”，搭配为 a rage，如：be in a rage，fly into a rage(勃然大怒)；a flare of“一阵”，不和 media protest搭配；flash 表示突然闪现的东西，如：a flash of hope(一线希望)，a flash of wit(灵光一现)等。(11).【C11】（分数：2.00）A.translationB.interpretation C.exhibitionD.demonstration解析：解析：考查名词辨析。此处填入的名词要与 privacy controls搭配，从意义上来看，只有B
34、interpretation“口译，解释，阐释”符合题意，“the interpretation of privacy controls”意为“隐私控制的解释权”。translation“翻译”，侧重笔译；exhibition“展览”；demonstration“演示”，均不符合题意。(12).【C12】（分数：2.00）A.better thanB.other thanC.rather than D.sooner than解析：解析：考查语篇理解。空格前后连接的是两个短语 to judges与 to Parliament，显然两者是对立的，只能选其一，结合全文来看，应该选 to judges
35、，因此答案为 Crather than“是而不是”，意为“把隐私控制的解释权留给法官而不留给国会”。better than“比好”；sooner than“比快”；other than“除了，不同于”，均不符合题意。(13).【C13】（分数：2.00）A.changesB.makes C.setsD.turns解析：解析：考查动词辨析。根据题意应该选 Bmakes“使得”，意为“使欧洲人权公约在法律上”。这几个选项中只有 makes的使动和强制意义最强。其他 changes“改变”；sets“建立”；turn“转变”，均不符合题意。(14).【C14】（分数：2.00）A.binding B
36、.convincingC.restrainingD.sustaining解析：解析：考查形容词辨析。此处填入的形容词与 legally一起来修饰欧洲人权共约。只有legally binding表示法律约束力，因此选 Abinding。convincing“令人信服的”，restraining“抑制的”，sustaining“可持续的”，均不符合题意。(15).【C15】（分数：2.00）A.authorizedB.creditedC.entitled D.qualified解析：解析：考查动词辨析。此处配是 be+过去分词+to sth，其中 to是介词。根据下文可知此处表达的意思为“欧洲人权
37、公约规定人人享有隐私权”，be entitled to sth意为“有权，有资格”，因此选 Centitled。be authorized to do sth意为“被授权”，to 是不定式符号；be credited to sth意为“把归于某人或某物，认为属于”，与题意不符；be qualified to do sth意为“有资格，能胜任”，to 是不定式符号，后接动词原形。(16).【C16】（分数：2.00）A.with B.toC.fromD.by解析：解析：考查介词辨析。本题考查哪个介词可以与 in safe hands(安然无恙)搭配。空格所在句子是Press freedoms w
38、ill be in safe hands_ our British judges(新闻自由由法官掌握将安然无恙)，介词中只有 with可表达“由掌握，由负责”的含义，例句：I shall leave the child with you(我将把这孩子交给你)。(17).【C17】（分数：2.00）A.impactB.incidentC.inferenceD.issue 解析：解析：考查名词辨析。此处意为“自 West被判十次无期徒刑后，付款给证人的做法成为了_”。结合前面提到的 the trial of Rosemary West，可知这个事件的影响很大，政府和法官都意识到要严格控制报界付款给
39、证人的行为。由此可以推断出付款给证人的做法应该成为颇有争议的问题(issue)，故选 D。impact“影响”，一般用于 havemake a great impact on sthincident“突发事件”，inference“推论”，均与题意不符。(18).【C18】（分数：2.00）A.statedB.remarkedC.said D.told解析：解析：考查动词辨析。此处结构为：be+过去分词+to have done sth。适用这个结构的只有said和 told，但 be told to have done sth意为“被告知做过某事”，不符合句意。因此只能选Csaid。be s
40、aid to have done sth意为“据说做过某事”，此处意为“据说多达 19个证人因向报社讲述他们的故事而获得报酬”。stated“被宣布”，remarked“被评论”，均不符合题意。(19).【C19】（分数：2.00）A.whatB.whenC.whichD.that 解析：解析：考查语法结构。空格后面部分是 concerns的同位语，表明其具体内容。选项中能引导同位语从句的关系代词只有 that。同位语从句本来应该直接跟在先行词 concerns后面，但因为从句太长，会显得头重脚轻，所以放在了后面，达到句子平衡的效果。(20).【C20】（分数：2.00）A.assureB.c
41、onfideC.ensure D.guarantee解析：解析：考查动词辨析。guilty verdicts 意为“(陪审团的)定罪决定”。此处意为“证人被鼓励在法庭上夸大事实，目的就为了一定罪”。assure“使人相信”，一般用于 assure sbof sthassure sbthat。confide“吐露(内幕)，托付”，与题意无关。guarantee“保证，担保”，但不符题意，保证有罪判绝不是证人能做到的。ensure 表示努力推动或确保某事的发生，证人的目的就是想确保让被告得到定罪，符合题意，因此选 C。Research on animal intelligence always m

47、results are inconclusive.（分数：40.00）(1).【C1】（分数：2.00）A.SupposeB.Consider C.ObserveD.Imagine解析：解析：考查动词辨析。文章开篇指出“对动物智慧的研究总是让我们对人类到底有多聪明感到好奇”，接着举了果蝇的例子，该句要选择的动词应与上句在语义上衔接。此处用 BConsider，意为让读者“考虑一下”果蝇实验，从而引出下文。其他选项 Suppose“假定，设想”，Observe“观察”，Imagine“想象”，均不符合语境。(2).【C2】（分数：2.00）A.tended B.fearedC.happenedD.threatened解析：解析：考查动词辨析。此处意为“通过训练变得更聪明的果蝇，其寿命往往比普通果蝇短”，这是实验中经常发生的情况，tend to“易于，趋向做”，因此选 Atended。fear to“害怕做”，happen to“碰巧做”，threaten to“威胁要做”，均不合理。(3).【C3】（分数：2.00）A.thinnerB.stablerC.lighterD.dimmer 解析：解析：考查形容
