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.

【C14】

选项 A、asserting
B、alleging
C、maintaining
D、testifying

答案B

解析 考查动词辨析。空格处填入的现在分词做定语修饰名词cases,表示“由政府带来的刑事案件______个人犯罪”。因此关键是辨析几个核心动词。assert主观意味强,指“明确肯定,断言”,即自认为某事就是如此.而不管事实如何;allege多指“不提供证据的断言或宣称”;maintain指“坚决维护某种主张或观点”;testify多指“在法庭作证,庄严地宣称自己所说属实”。由于文中提到的案件是在陪审团作出裁决前由政府提出诉讼的案件,因此B.alleging“指控”为正确答案。
