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.

【C12】

选项 A、arguments
B、controversies
C、disputes
D、hostilities

答案C

解析 考查名词辨析。空格处填入的名词是动词decide的宾语,表示“陪审团用来裁决公民之间发生的______”。C.disputes除了指“争论,辩论”,也可指“各方围绕某一问题产生的争端,纠纷”,代入文中指“公民之间的纠纷”,符合文意。故正确答案为C。argument指“辩论双方均以事实或理由来说服对方的辩论”;controversy多指“对引起广泛兴趣或非常重要的问题的公开的辩论”;hostility作不可数名词时意为“敌意,对抗”,作可数名词时常用复数形式,意为“敌对行为,战争行为”,由于它指具体行为,不与decide(解决,裁决)搭配,三项均不符合题意。
