第一部分英語知識應(yīng)運(yùn)試題解析

一、文章總體分析

本文是一篇報(bào)道性的文章，簡介了自露絲瑪莉?韋斯特案件發(fā)生后，政府、法院、媒體各方面對于付款

給證人的反應(yīng)。文章第一段簡介了政府的反應(yīng)：要嚴(yán)禁報(bào)界買斷證人新聞的舉動。第二至六段簡介了以大

法官埃爾溫勛爵為代表的法院在這個(gè)問題上的態(tài)度。最終一段簡介了露絲瑪莉?韋斯特案件的始末。在該案

件中由于諸多證人通過講述他們的經(jīng)歷而從媒體獲得酬勞，成果導(dǎo)致被告數(shù)罪并罰，被判十項(xiàng)無期徒刑。

結(jié)論為付款給證人的做法成為一種頗有爭議的問題。

二、試題詳細(xì)解析

1.[A]asto有關(guān)，至于網(wǎng)forinstance舉例

（C）inparticular尤其地（D]suchas例如

【答案]D

[解析]本題考核的知識點(diǎn)是：邏輯關(guān)系.

解答該題時(shí)，學(xué)生需要判斷空格前后部分prominentcases和ThetrialofRosemaryWest之間的關(guān)系，而

者泛指“某些著名的案件"，后者是一種詳細(xì)的案件，即“對露絲瑪莉?韋斯梓案件的審判”，可見兩者是例證

關(guān)系。因此，所填入的選項(xiàng)應(yīng)是一種表達(dá)"例如"或“像……同樣”的連接詞。首先排除asto和inparticular。for

instance（或forexample）可表達(dá)"舉例"，但放在句中多為插入語，且背面不可直接加賓語。如：HereinChicago,

forinstance,themovementwasgrowingbyleapsandbounds.（例如在芝加哥，運(yùn)動正在迅猛發(fā)展）。選項(xiàng)中

只有介詞短語suchas可以接名詞做賓語，體現(xiàn)“例如…，象這種的”的含義。

首段第一句話的構(gòu)造比較匏雜，中心句為Thegovernmentistobanpaymentstowitnessesbynewspapers

（政府要嚴(yán)禁報(bào)界付錢給證人），H前分詞構(gòu)造seekingtobuvup...RosemaryWest做后置定語，用來修飾

newsp叩ers.意為“試圖收買波及某些要案證人的報(bào)紙”。過去分詞構(gòu)造involvedin也是后鼠定語，用來修飾

people,整個(gè)句子的含義是：政府要嚴(yán)禁報(bào)界付錢給波及某些要案（諸如審判露絲瑪莉?韋斯特案）的證人

以圖收買他們的舉動。

2.[A]tightening收緊，加緊，使…嚴(yán)格網(wǎng)intensifying加強(qiáng)，強(qiáng)化

?focusing集中同fastening扣緊，扎牢

［答案］A

［解析］本題考核的知識點(diǎn)是：習(xí)慣
