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.
The judge【C17】______to the case【C18】______the selection of jurors to serve as the jury for that case. In some states,【C19】______jurors are questioned by the judge; in others, they are questioned by the lawyers representing the【C20】______under rules dictated by state law.
【C5】
选项
A、discriminating
B、distinguishing
C、determining
D、diminishing
答案
B
解析
考查形容词辨析。空格部分填入的形容词作定语修饰feature,表示“使用陪审团来裁决案件是美国法律系统的一个______特征”。四个选项都是现在分词转换而成的形容词,discriminating意为“有识别力的;有辨别力的;有鉴赏力的”,如a discriminating customer(有鉴赏力的顾客),它不和feature搭配;distinguishing意为“显著的,有区别的”,a distinguishing feature意为“显著的特征”;determining意为“决定性的”,如determining factors(决定因素);diminishing意为“缩小的,减少的”。下文提到,很少有其他国家像美国一样使用陪审团制度,因此它是美国法律系统的一个较突出的特征,因此B.distinguishing正确。
