翻译部分觉得甚是眼熟 回去之后苦思冥想久久不能释怀 终于被我查出 两篇分别选自2001年和1995年的CLOZE。第二篇由于时间久远，难找到翻译，遂将原题附上。而且第二题中一两句话在复试中有改动。第一题答案附的是新东方版的。感觉还是不够流畅，但是本人亦想不出更好的翻法的。

Publication of the letter came two days after Lord Irvine caused a storm of media protest when he said the interpretation of privacy controls contained in European legislation would be left to judges rather than to Parliament.
The Lord Chancellor said introduction of the Human Rights Bill, which makes the European Convention on Human Rights legally binding in Britain, laid down that everybody was entitled to privacy and that public figures could go to court to protect themselves and their families.
"Press freedoms will be in safe hands with our British judges," he said.
Witness payments became an issue after West was sentenced to 10 life sentences in 1995. Up to 19 witnesses were said to have received payments for telling their stories to newspapers. Concerns were raised that witnesses might be encouraged to exaggerate their stories in court to ensure guilty verdicts.
