问题     People are, on the whole, poor at considering background information when making individual decisions. At first glance this might seem like a strength that【C1】______the ability to make judgments which are unbiased by【C2】______factors. But Dr. Simonsohn speculated that an inability to consider the big【C3】______ was leading decision-makers to be biased by the daily samples of information they were working with.【C4】______, he theorised that a judge【C5】______ of appearing too soft【C6】______ crime might be more likely to send someone to prison【C7】______ he had already sentenced five or six other defendants only to forced community service on that day.
    To【C8】______ this idea, he turned to the university-admissions process. In theory, the【C9】______ of an applicant should not depend on the few others【C10】______ randomly for interview during the same day, but Dr. Simonsohn suspected the truth was【C11】______ .
    He studied the results of 9,323 MBA interviews【C12】______ by 31 admissions officers. The interviewers had【C13】______ applicants on a scale of one to five. This scale【C14】______ numerous factors into consideration. The scores were【C15】______ used in conjunction with an applicant’s score on the Graduate Management Admission Test, or GMAT, a standardised exam which is【C16】______ out of 800 points, to make a decision on whether to accept him or her.
    Dr. Simonsohn found if the score of the previous candidate in a daily series of interviewees was 0.75 points or more higher than that of the one【C17】______ that, then the score for the next applicant would【C18】______ by an average of 0.075 points. This might sound small, but to【C19】______the effects of such a decrease a candidate would need 30 more GMAT points than it would otherwise have been【C20】______ .
【C17】
选项 A、before
B、after
C、above
D、below
答案A
解析 考查上下文理解和逻辑关系。这句话说“前面申请者的分数比______的申请者高0.75分”，“下一个申请者则…”，由此可知，“前面的申请者”肯定不能是比他后面的人分数高，故排除after，选A．before。
