In a significant 32 of legal controls (线索一:选项中的动名词应该与controls逻辑动宾搭配,即32 + controls构成逻辑上的动宾关系时,意思应该通顺;线索二:后面35题的句子strictly control可以做选词的意思提示,即32题的选词应该和strictly意思大致相似) over the press (35题可以参考的地方), Lord Irvine, the Lord Chancellor, will introce a 33 bill (选项是能够修饰bill的形容词)that will propose making payments to witnesses 34 (参考文章第一段第一句谓语部分的意思,这里的选项应该和to ban的意思相符) and will strictly control the amount of 35(第二段第一个短语中的over the press可以做选词提示,即35题选项应该与the press意思相关) that can be given to a case 36(上下文意思)a trial begins.
