【答案解析】

四个选择项的含义分别是“关于、例如、特别是、例如”。这里表明的是prominent cases 与the trial of Rosemary West 之间的关系。可以看出，后者也是一个案件，应该是前者中的一个，所以可以排除[A]项，而[B]项for example 经常在其后加“，”这里并没有“，”，所以要排除。从下文可以看出，payments to witness 是一件很普通的事情，并不是仅仅出现在the trial of Rosemary West 一案中，因此表示特定指示的[C]项也不合适。这里只能选择[D]项，表示例举。 第2题

A tightening

B intensifying

C focusing

D fastening

【正确答案】：A

【本题分数】：1.0分

【答案解析】

从文章的第二句话，我们可以看出大致是要对新闻进行司法控制，“will

strictly control ”表明以后会逐渐严格起来。这里应该选择[A]项tightening ，意为“上紧，固定，紧密”，同时也有“严厉起来”的意思。而[B]、[C]、[D]三项的含义分别是“加剧、集中、扎紧”，没有“逐渐严厉，严格起来”的意思。 第3题

A sketch

B rough

C preliminary

D draft

【正确答案】：D
