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.

【B2】
选项 A、agency
B、organization
C、institution
D、authority
答案D
解析 考查名词辨析。空格处填入的名词和governmental搭配，表示“像立法机关这样的中央政府______”。D．authority可表示“有权力做决定或在某个地区有特别责任范围的人们或组织”，即“当局，当权者”。文中legislature指“有权制定或修改法律的一群人”，即“立法机关”。因此D项为最佳答案。agency一般指“服务机构，尤其是代理或经销机构”；也可以指(提供特别服务)的政府专门机构，如the Central Intelligence Agency(美国中央情报局)；organization泛指各种组织、团体和机构；institution多指“大规模的用于特殊目的的组织”，如educational institution(教育机构)；或者指各种慈善机构和社会福利机构，均不符合题意。
