A. glued B. guilty C. luxurious D. portrait E. proud F. reflected G. removed H. doubts I. reveals J. shadow K. suggest Could It Be a Work by Rembrandt（伦勃朗）
Rembrandt is the most famous of the seventeenth-century Dutch painters. However, there are ___ 31 ____ whether some paintings attributed (归属）to
Rembrandt were actually painted by him. One such painting is known as attributed to Rembrandt because of its style, and indeed the representation of the woman’s face is very much like that of portraits known to be by Rembrandt. But
there are problems with the painting that ______ 32 ____ it could not be a work by Rembrandt.
First, there is something inconsistent （不一致） about the way the woman in
the ___ 33 ___ is dressed. She is wearing a white linen cap of a kind that only
servants would wear—-yet the coat she is wearing has a _______ 34 ___ fur collar that no servant could
afford. Rembrandt, who was known for his attention to the details of his subjects' clothing, would not have been _______ 35 _______ of such an inconsistency.
Second, Rembrandt was a master of painting light and __________ 36 ___ , but in this painting these elements do not fit together. The face appears to be illuminated（照亮）by light 37 ______ onto it
from below. But below the face is the dark fur collar, which would absorb light rather than reflect it. So the face should appear partially in shadow, which is not how it appears. Rembrandt would never have made such an error.

of several pieces of wood ___39___ together. Although Rembrandt often painted on wood panels (面板)s no painting known to be by Rembrandt was painted in this way.

A Question of Judgment
Human beings are, in principle, poor at considering background information when making individual decisions. At first glance, this might seem like a strength that __41__ people the ability to make judgments which are independent of __42__ factors. But in a world of quotas（配额）and limits—__43___, the world in which most professional people operate—Dr. Simonsohn reported in Psychological Science that it was actually a weakness since
an inability to consider the big picture was leading decision-makers to be biased(有偏见）by the daily samples they were working with. For example, he supposed that a judge fearful of appearing too soft on crime might be more likely to send someone to prison ___44___ he had already sentenced five or six other defendants（被告）only to forced community service on that day.
To __45_ this idea, Dr. Simonsohn. and his assistants turned their attention to the university-admissions process. Admissions officers interview hundreds of applicants every year, at a rate of 4% a day, and can offer entry to about 40% of them. In theory, the ___46__ of an applicant should not depend on the few others ___47__ randomly for interview during the same day, but Dr. Simonsohn suspected the truth was otherwise.
He studied the results of 9,323 MBA interviews ___48___ by 31 admissions officers. The interviewers had rated applicants on a scale of one to five. This scale ___49___ numerous factors, including communication skills, personal drive, team-working ability and personal accomplishments, into consideration. The scores from this rating were ___50___ used in conjunction with an applicant's score on the GMAT, a standardized exam which is __51___ 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 _52_ that, then the score for the next applicant would __53__ by an average of 0.075 points. This might sound small, but to reverse the effects of such a decrease, a candidate would need 30 more GMAT points than would otherwise have been necessary.
As for why people behave this way, Dr. Simonsohn proposes that after accepting a number of strong candidates, interviewers might form the illogical expectation that a __54__ candidate “is due”. Regardless of the reason, if this sort of thinking proves to have a similar effect on the judgments of those in other fields, such as law and medicine, it could be responsible for far worse things than the __55__ of qualified business-school candidates. 41. A. grants 42. A. minor 43. A. above all 44. A. if 45. A. test 46. A. decision 47. A. found 48. A. inspired 49. A. put 50. A. instead 51. A. selected 52. A. below 53. A. jump 54. A. stronger 55.
