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.

答案 D
解析 本题测试考生根据上下文确定逻辑关系的能力。本句描述的是Dr Simonsohn根据所获得的数据对自己的假设所进行的验证。按照Dr Simonsohn的假设，如果前一个考生的分数偏高，后一个考生的分数就会偏低。这种假设在这里是关于前面考生的分数偏差对于后面考生成绩产生的影响，是一种先后顺序的关系，因此只有before表示的才是正确的逻辑关系，故为正确答案。below和above表示的位置关系。after所表示的是一种相反的逻辑关系。
