In theory, the 9 of an applicant should not depend on the few others 10 randomly for interview during the same day, but Dr Simonsohn suspected the truth was 11 .

C. picture
D. moment
答案
C
解析
本题测试考生逻辑关系和词汇熟练程度。由于此句中出现了But和speculated,显然本句作者要表达的意思与上一句有很大的“转向”。从逻辑上推断,这里的“big-”与上文中的background information意思接近。因此只有picture搭配的词义是“大背景”,与上文逻辑相符,故为正确答案。issue搭配后意为“大的议题、话题”,与“背景信息”意思上不符。vision搭配后意为“大视野、视角”,强调的是人的一种能力或水平而不是客观环境;moment搭配后意为“重要或关键的时刻”,均与文章中的逻辑关系不符。
