　　People are, on the whole, poor at considering background information when making individual decisions. At 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 probation 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.

　　Dr Simonsohn found if the score of the previous candidate in a daily series of interviewees was 0.75 points or more higher than that of the one 17 that, then the score for the next applicant would 18 by an average of 0.075 points. This might sound small, but to 19 the effects of such a decrease a candidate would need 30 more GMAT points than would otherwise have been 20 .

　　2013年的完型填空是一篇選自《經(jīng)濟學人》名為A Question of Judgment的文章。講述的是有關(guān)判斷的問題。這類文章出現(xiàn)在今年的考研真題中，符合考研英語歷年的出題形式。但是考生在沒有掌握單詞基本知識和解題技巧的情況下也會感到很困難。

　　相較于2012年的完型來說，今年的考題適中�？疾榈脑~匯部分涉及到名詞、動詞、形容詞和介詞。其中，動詞考查的頻率比較高，占完型部分考題的35%。第4、7、15和17題考察了邏輯連接題，占完型題目的20%�？忌�要在掌握上下文結(jié)構(gòu)的基礎(chǔ)上準確完成這類考題。其次，在文章考查點里有兩處涉及到了后置定語的語法知識，即第5和第10題。一處是形容詞加介詞構(gòu)成后置定語，一處是過去分詞作后置定語，而這兩點在跨考一階的講義中，各位語法老師已經(jīng)跟考生們專門講解過。后期陸陸續(xù)續(xù)的閱讀和寫作課里，也是反復提到的語法點。
