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.
【B18】
选项 A、administers
B、manages
C、oversees
D、presides
答案C
解析 考查动词辨析。空格处填入的动词的主语是the judge，其宾语是the selection of jurors，即表示“法官______陪审团成员的选举”。C．oversee意为“监督，监视(以确保某项工作或活动的恰当完成)”，oversee the elections表示“监督选举”。由于法官并不直接参与陪审团的选举，因此C．oversee为正确答案。administer意为“管理(公司、组织、机构)，治理(国家)；施行，执行”；manage表示“管理，负责(公司、球队、组织等)”；preside是不及物动词，和介词over或at搭配表示“主持(会议、仪式等)；管理”，均不符合题意。
