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.
【B1】
选项 A、other than
B、rather than
C、more than
D、or rather
答案B
解析 考查逻辑关系。空格前后是两个并列的名词courts和a monarch，所在句子的含义为：“共同法”是由法庭______君主制定。根据常识可知，美国是民主制国家，法律不由君主制定。因此空格处填入的连接词应肯定前者而否定后者，所以正确答案为B．rather than“而不是”，即“法庭而不是君主”。other than通常用在否定句中，表示排除意义，即“除了”，相当于except；more than连接名词时除了表示“多于，超过…以上”，也可以表示“不仅仅，不只是”，相当于。not only：or rather表示“更确切的说法是…”，相当于more exactly，均不符合题意。
