rkandstudy.（你應(yīng)當(dāng)努力把思想集中在工作和學(xué)習(xí)上）文章第一段只提到政府要嚴(yán)禁付款收買證人的這種做法，并沒有波及其他方面的狀況，也就無所謂“集中法律控制”了。fasten表“扣緊，扎牢”的含義時多接詳細(xì)名詞，如：fastenourseatbelts（系緊安全帶），不合用于抽象名詞ensify側(cè)重于強(qiáng)調(diào)數(shù)量、活動、情感的增長或增強(qiáng)，不和control搭配，如：Thepresshasintensifieditsscrutinyofthecandidate’sbackground.（新聞界已加強(qiáng)了對侯選人的背景調(diào)查）；只有tighten與legalcontrol搭配，表達(dá)“加強(qiáng)法律控制”。知識點(diǎn)補(bǔ)充：常與control構(gòu)成的搭配尚有：gain/take/lose/seize～of，have/hold～over,offer～，setup～。3.[A]sketch略圖，草稿，梗概[B]rough概略的，不完善、未完畢的[C]preliminary初步的，預(yù)備的[D]draft草稿，草案，草圖[答案]D[解析]本題考核的知識點(diǎn)是：固定搭配。本題規(guī)定考生判斷哪個選項與bill搭配。draftbill是法律中的一種固定搭配，意為“草案，（提交議會討論的）法案”；其他三個選項雖然不與bill搭配，但都可以表達(dá)類似于“初步的，不完整的，簡略的”的含義，sketch的搭配有sketchmap（略圖、示意圖），sketchplan（草擬計劃）；rough的搭配有aroughdrawing（草圖）；preliminary強(qiáng)調(diào)“初步的”，如：apreliminaryexamination（初試）。4.[A]illogical不符合邏輯的[B]illegal非法的[C]improbable不大也許發(fā)生的[D]improper不合適的，不對的的[答案]B[解析]本題考核的知識點(diǎn)是：上下文語義+形容詞詞義辨析?？崭袼诓糠质莟hat引導(dǎo)的定語從句thatwillproposemakingpaymentstowitnesses4，修飾先行詞bill，闡明是怎樣一種法案。其中從句的賓語是一種復(fù)合構(gòu)造makingpaymenttowitness__4__，（使給證人支付酬勞的行為…），解此題時，考生關(guān)鍵要判斷這個草案在看待收買證人的問題上的態(tài)度是怎樣的。文章第一句提到“政府要嚴(yán)禁報界收買某些要案的證人的舉動”，第二段首句緊接著提到“為了加強(qiáng)對報界的控制，大法官埃爾溫勛爵將要提出這個法案”。從邏輯上講，政府和大法官的行為應(yīng)當(dāng)是一致的。那么大法官提出法律草案的目的也是反對報界收買證人的做法。illegal強(qiáng)調(diào)不符合法律規(guī)定，符合題意。其他三個選項都不符合語義，illogical強(qiáng)調(diào)不合邏輯，如：Sometimesillogicalbehaviorsmayresultinagreatinvention.（有時不合邏輯的做法也許會導(dǎo)致偉大的發(fā)明）；improbable指也許性很小，如：Itisimprobablethatshewillgo.（她不大也許會走）；improper表達(dá)“不得體”，若用在本題中，語氣太弱，如：anactimpropertotheoccasion（不合時宜的行為）。5.[A]publicity公開，公諸于眾[B]penalty懲罰，罰款[C]popularity普遍，流行[D]peculiarity特性，怪癖[答案]A[解析]本題考核的知識點(diǎn)是：邏輯語義搭配?？崭袼诓糠质牵篴billthatwillpropose…andwillstrictlycontroltheamountof_5__thatcanbegiventoacase。從構(gòu)造上看，空格處填入的名詞，既是control的賓語，又是that引導(dǎo)的定語從句修飾的先行詞，即符合givesth.
