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【B1】______the ability to make judgments which are unbiased by【B2】______factors. But Dr. Uri Simonsoho speculated that an inability to consider the big【B3】______was leading decision-makers to be biased by the daily samples of information they were working with.【B4】______, he theorized that a judge【B5】______of appearing too soft【B6】______crime might be more likely to send someone to prison【B7】______he had already sentenced five or six other defendants only to forced community service on that day.
    To【B8】______this idea, he turned to the university-admissions process. In theory, the【B9】______of an applicant should not depend on the few others【B10】______randomly for interview during the same day, but Dr. Simonsoho suspected the truth was【B11】______
    He studied the results of 9, 323 MBA interviews【B12】______by 31 admissions officers. The interviewers had【B13】______applicants on a scale of one to five. This scale【B14】______numerous factors into consideration. The scores were【B15】______used in conjunction with an applicant’s score on the Graduate Management Admission Test, or GMAT, a standardized exam which is【B16】______out of 800 points, to make a decision on whether to accept him or her.
    Dr. Simonsoho 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【B17】______that, then the score for the next applicant would【B18】______by an average of 0. 075 points. This might sound small, but to【B19】______the effects of such a decrease a candidate could need 30 more GMAT points than would otherwise have been【B20】______.
【B1】
选项 A、grants
B、submits
C、transmits
D、delivers
答案A
解析 第一句提到“总体而言，当人们自己做决定时，并不擅长考虑背景信息。”第二句顺接上文，“乍一看这是一种优势”，that引起定语从句，这种优势使人们具有一种能力，即能够做出不受外界因素影响的不带偏见的决定。B选项submit“服从，提交”，不能与ability连用，C选项transmit“传输，发射”，也不能与ability搭配，D选项deliver“传递”，同样不能与ability搭配。B、C、D无论从搭配上还是意思上都不合适。A选项grant本身具有“赋予，授予”的意思。故答案选A。
