答案详解
1.【解析】[B] 逻辑衔接题。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1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,正确项是[B]rather than,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。rather than是连词,前后连接的成分应保持一致,可以是名词、动词、形容词、从句等,通常译为“而不是”,有时可用介词短语 instead of替代。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。
2.【解析】[D]语义衔接题。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……”。[A]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)。[B]organization泛指各种组织、团体和机构。[C]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。[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。
3.【解析】[A]语义衔接题。[A]项panel指“一组(给予意见和观点的人)”,如a panel of experts专家组。crew指“(有专门技术的)一组工作人员,一起工作的一群人”;band指“(因为某种共同的目的而组成且有首领的)一帮人”;flock指a crowd, large number of people。而空格所在部分指的是陪审团小组,就被告有罪无罪给出观点的一组人,因此[A]项正确。
4.【解析】[C]语义衔接题。空格所在部分的含义是:陪审团是共同法系统……部分。innate意为“天生的,先天的(品质、情感等)”;intact意为“完整无缺的”;integral意为“必须的,不可或缺的”;integrated意为“各部分密切协调的,完整的,综合的”。根据文意,应选[C]项。
