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.
【B12】
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。
