第一部分英语知识应运试题解析

一、文章总体分析

本文是一篇报道性的文章，简介了自露丝玛莉・韦斯特案件发生后，政府、法院、媒体各方面对于付款

给证人的反应。文章第一段简介了政府的反应：要严禁报界买断证人新闻的举动。第二至六段简介了以大

法官埃尔温勋爵为代表的法院在这个问题上的态度。最终一段简介了露丝玛莉•韦斯特案件的始末。在该案

件中由于诸多证人通过讲述他们的经历而从媒体获得酬劳，成果导致被告数罪并罚，被判十项无期徒刑。

结论为付款给证人的做法成为一种颇有争议的问题。

二、试题详细解析

1.[A]asto有关，至于网forinstance举例

（C）inparticular尤其地（D]suchas例如

【答案]D

[解析]本题考核的知识点是：逻辑关系.

解答该题时，学生需要判断空格前后部分prominentcases和ThetrialofRosemaryWest之间的关系，而

者泛指“某些著名的案件"，后者是一种详细的案件，即“对露丝玛莉•韦斯梓案件的审判”，可见两者是例证

关系。因此，所填入的选项应是一种表达"例如"或“像……同样”的连接词。首先排除asto和inparticular。for

instance（或forexample）可表达"举例"，但放在句中多为插入语，且背面不可直接加宾语。如：HereinChicago,

forinstance,themovementwasgrowingbyleapsandbounds.（例如在芝加哥，运动正在迅猛发展）。选项中

只有介词短语suchas可以接名词做宾语，体现“例如…，象这种的”的含义。

首段第一句话的构造比较匏杂，中心句为Thegovernmentistobanpaymentstowitnessesbynewspapers

（政府要严禁报界付钱给证人），H前分词构造seekingtobuvup...RosemaryWest做后置定语，用来修饰

newsp叩ers.意为“试图收买波及某些要案证人的报纸”。过去分词构造involvedin也是后鼠定语，用来修饰

people,整个句子的含义是：政府要严禁报界付钱给波及某些要案（诸如审判露丝玛莉•韦斯特案）的证人

以图收买他们的举动。

2.[A]tightening收紧，加紧，使…严格网intensifying加强，强化

©focusing集中同fastening扣紧，扎牢

［答案］A
