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.

答案 A

解析 本题测试考生根据上下文确定逻辑关系和词义的能力。从前一题我们已经知道,由于考官的“波动”,一些考生的分数被压低,这些考生要想通过考试就需要额外的分数。这些分数对于相关的考生们来说是什么样的呢?只有necessary“有必要的,必不可少的”最能准确表示这些额外分数的性质,故为正确答案。promising“有前途的,有希望的”无论词义和逻辑上都不相符;。possible“有可能的”和helpful“有帮助的”尽管词义接近,但语言逻辑上不符。
