(10 points) People are, on the whole, poor at considering background information when making individual decisions.A.t first glance this might seem like a strength that 1 the ability to make judgments which are unbiased by 2 factors. But Dr Uri Simonsohn speculated that an inability to consider the big 3 was leading decision-makers to be biased by the daily samples of information they were working with. 4 , he theorised that a judge 5 of appearing too soft 6 crime might be more likely to send someone to prison 7 he had already sentenced five or six other defendants only to forced community service on that day. To 8 this idea, he turned to the university-admissions process. 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 . He studied the results of 9,323 MBA interviews 12 by 31 admissions officers. The interviewers had 13 applicants on a scale of one to five. This scale 14 numerous factors into consideration. The scores were 15 used in conjunction with an applicant’s score on the Graduate Management Admission Test, or GMAT, a standardised exam which is 16 out of 800 points, to make a decision on whether to accept him or her.

答案
A
解析
本题测试考生语言逻辑能力和语法知识。本句前文的大致意思是“一个担心自己对罪犯过于仁慈的法官更有可能判某人入狱”——重判,后文的大致意思是“当天他已经将其他五六个被告判为强制性社区服务”——轻判。只有if“如果”所表达的“如果他此前一直量刑轻,那么他随后就可能量刑重”既符合一般逻辑,也符合前面提供的语境。until“直到”从时态或时间顺序上不合逻辑。就本句先后两部分的“对立”关系看,though“虽然,尽管”似乎有一定的道理,可是“虽然他此前一直量刑轻,但他随后就可能量刑重”不合逻辑。unless“除非”表达的是一种“必要条件”关系,也不符合上文表述的逻辑关系。
