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 【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.
    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. Juries are selected from the U.S. citizens and【B15】______. Jurors, consisting of【B16】______numbers, are called for each case requiring a jury.
    The judge【B17】______to the case【B18】______the selection of jurors to serve as the jury for that case. In some states,【B19】______jurors are questioned by the judge; in others, they are questioned by the lawyers representing the【B20】______under rules dictated by state law.
【B7】
选项 A、that
B、which
C、than
D、as
答案C
解析 考查逻辑关系。空格前是一个结构完整的句子juries reach a fairer and more just result，空格后是would be obtained using a judge alone。显然这里包含了一个从句，由空格处的词来连接。前文已经出现了fairer和more just，它们只能和than构成比较级。故C．than为正确答案。整个主从句的含义为：在大多数情况下陪审团比单独一位法官达到的结果更公平、公正。that可代替先行词result，which和as可代替前面整个句子，但代入后句子意为“陪审团可达到更公平、公正的结果，这个(结果)可单独使用一位法官而达到”，显然不符合逻辑。
