V. Translate the following passage into Chinese.
在民事审判中，决定评审团审判的权限可能从三种途径之一分离出来。

第一，也是最广泛的，是宪法规定的，联邦宪法和州宪法在它们各自的审判系统中都为评审团审判设置了最低标准。

在没有宪法规定的案件范围内，立法机构具有授权评审团审判的权力。

因此，第2种评审团审判途径是法定的，并代表了立法机构在建立一个特殊诉讼问题时已给予评审团审判这一权利的情况。

最后，审判法院总是具有衡平法上的权力来召集评审团，虽然在那些诉讼程序中，评审团将只是咨询性的，并且法官可以接受或漠视评审团的发现。

决定评审团审判权利范围的主要问题已处在宪法规定的范围内。

我们将会注意到，联邦宪法有关陪审团条款（宪法第七修正案）没有束缚各州，这样，各州可以自由地发展它们自己法院民事陪审团审判权利的方案。

总共只有四个州（科罗拉多州、犹他州、路易斯安娜州和怀俄明州）有相似于联邦宪法的条款。

在这四个州中存在着法定的评审团审判权利。

再者，除了另外四个州（佐治亚州、北卡罗来那州、田纳西州和德克萨斯州），在衡平法中规定了
评审团审判外，其余各州看来都采取相似于联邦法院的方法来解释其宪法和法律规定，即根据其权威之宪法规定被通过时这种权力是否存在来决定评审团审判的权利。

III. Choose the most appropriate word from the listed words below to finish the following passage. Change the form if necessary.
Congress has passed tax laws that have made numerous, temporary changes to both the estate tax rate and the exemption amount. Since 2002, the top rate has decreased incrementally from 50%, and the exemption amount has increased incrementally from $1 million. In 2009 the rate was 45% and the exemption amount was $3.5 million. On January 1, 2010 a "one year repeal" of the tax was effectuated by a temporary, one-year-only rate of 0%. On January 1, 2011 the estate tax is scheduled to a top rate of 35% and the exemption amount is scheduled to be $5.0 million, or $10 million for married couples. (law passed in December 2010)
For 2010 property transferred from decedents will be treated as if it is transferred by gift. This means the basis of the property for calculating capital gains when the recipient eventually sells the property will be the same basis as in the hands of the decedent. This is generally called carryover basis. However most recipients will effectively get the same result they would receive under present law, because section 1022 allows the executor of an estate to allocate up to 1.3 million in basis for singles and 3 million for surviving spouses to the property of the estate. This will effectively give most recipients a tax basis in the property equal to the full market value (i.e., "step up basis")

life-support usually when death is imminent.
