选项 A、since
B、if
C、before
D、as
答案 C
解析 本题意思是“这些议案提议付给证人报酬是非法的行为，而且在某个案件公开审理之前要严格控制这个案件被公众所知的程度。”所以选C。作为引导时间状语从句的连词，before 意思是“在……以前”；since 意思是“自……以来”；as 意思是“当……的时候”。原因状语从句时表示原因或理由的从句。作为引导原因状语从句的连词，since 意思是“既然，因为”，语气比“强；as 意思是“因为，由于，鉴于”，引导原因状语从句有时将主语或补语放在句首，采取倒装形式。Since 和as 引导的原因状语从句所说明的原因往往是已知的。让步状语从句表示让步意义，可位于主句之前也可位于主句之后。前置时强调主句的内容，后置时强调从句的内容。As 引导让步状语从句时，从句应位于主句之前，从句中的表语或状语置于句首，若表语是名词，前置时冠词应省略，如“Child as he was，he knew what was the right thing to do.”as 的意思是“尽管，虽然”。方式状语从句是描述动作的方式。作为方式状语从句的连词，as 意思是“像，如同”。As 还可以用在像as...as、so...as 等的结构中引导比较状语从句。
