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.

    Juries are used in both civil cases, which decide【B12】______among【B13】______citizens, and criminal cases, which decide cases brought by the government【B14】______that individuals have committed crimes.

【B19】
选项 A、inspective
B、irrespective
C、perspective
D、prospective
答案D
解析 考查形容词辨析。空格处填入的形容词，修饰jurors，根据上下文可知，这里表示的含义是“一些州(在选举陪审团成员时)，______陪审团成员由法官询问”。inspective意为“检查的，视察的；留神的”；irrespective意为“不考虑的，不顾的”；perspective意为“透视，远景，观点”；prospective意为“未来的，预期的”。显然D．prospective符合文意。
