We have a "common law", or law made by courts 【B1】______ a monarch or other central governmental 【B2】______ like a legislature. The jury, a【B3】______of ordinary citizens chosen to decide a case, is an 【B4】______ part of our common-law system.
    Use of juries to decide cases is a 【B5】______ feature of the American legal system. Few other countries in the world use juries as we do in the United States. 【B6】______the centuries, many people have believed that juries in most cases reach a fairer and more just result 【B7】______ would be obtained using a judge 【B8】______, as many countries do. 【B9】______ a jury decides cases after "【B10】______", or discussions among a group of people, the jury’ s decision is likely to have the【B11】______from many different people from different backgrounds, who must as a group decide what is right.

【B10】
选项 A、deliberations
B、meditations
C、reflections
D、speculations
答案A
解析 考查名词辨析。空格处的名词和discussions由连词or连接，两者形成了平行结构，语义相近，指“一群人的行为”。对比四个选项可知，A．deliberations和discussions同义，常用作复数，意为“商议，审议”，是正确答案。meditation作不可数名词时，意为“(尤指宗教的)沉思，冥想”，作可数名词时，意为“沉思录”；reflection作不可数名词时，意为“沉思，审慎的思考”，作可数名词时，意为“思考，回忆”；speculations指“推测，猜测”，均不符合题意。
