(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.

选项 A. assigned
B. rated
C. matched
D. arranged

答案 B

解析 本题测试考生根据上下文判断逻辑和词义的能力。本句后面有“on a scale of one to five(按l到5的分值)”提示,故正确答案显然是“划分等级、打分”一类的词汇。故只有rate“打分”符合逻辑和词义的要求,为正确答案。assign“分配”词义虽然有些接近,但用法上(assign s
b./sth. to)不对,而且“分配”与后面的词组也不吻合。match(与…相匹配)词义上与后面的词组逻辑相悖。arrange“安排”词义上似乎符合逻辑,但考官们(interviewers)只能给应考者打分,不可能“安排”他们。
