问题     As former colonists of Great Britain, the Founding Fathers of the United States adopted much of the legal system of Great Britain. We have a "common law", or law made by courts【C1】______a monarch or other central governmental 【C2】______ like a legislature. The jury, a【C3】______of ordinary citizens chosen to decide a case, is an【C4】______ part of our common-law system.
    Use of juries to decide cases is a 【C5】______feature of the American legal system. Few other countries in the world use juries as we do in the United States. 【C6】______the centuries, many people have believed that juries in most cases reach a fairer and more just result 【C7】______would be obtained using a judge 【C8】______, as many countries do. 【C9】______ a jury decides cases after "【C10】______", or discussions among a group of people, the jury’ s decision is likely to have the 【C11】______from many different people from different backgrounds, who must as a group decide what is right.
    Juries are used in both civil cases, which decide【C12】______among 【C13】______ citizens, and criminal cases, which decide cases brought by the government【C14】______that individuals have committed crimes. Juries are selected from the U.S. citizens and【C15】______. Jurors, consisting of 【C16】______numbers, are called for each case requiring a jury.

【C13】
选项 A、fellow
B、individual
C、personal
D、private
答案D
解析 考查形容词辨析。空格所在部分的含义是：民事案件裁决______公民之间的纷争。D．private可表示“与工作或官职无关的，普通的，平民的”，private citizens指“普通公民”，符合文意。故正确答案为D。做形容词时，fellow意为“同类的，同事的，同伴的”，如fellow citizens指“同胞”；individual意为“单独的，个别的”，后面只接单数可数名词或不可数名词，如each individual member／freedom(每个成员／个人自由)；personal意为“个人的，私人的”，不与citizens搭配，三项均不符合题意。
