第二部分 阅读理解（满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
21．（6分）Statistics often sounds like a dry subject, but sometimes it’s necessary to take a statistics cour to get the correct answer to this problem. Take the following ca for example: a football scout (球探）hears of a player who has powered his team to a good win-loss record. His coaches think he’s one of the mos
t talented players they’ve en. But the scout is unimpresd by the one practice game he es him in; he tells his manager it’s not worth trying to recruit (录用）the player.
Most sports fans would think that was a pretty foolish decision, right? Athletic performance is much too variable to ba an important judgment on such a small sample. But consider this problem: an employer gets an application from a junior executive (主管人员）with an excellent college record and strong references from his current employer. The employer interviews the applicant and is unimpresd. The employer tells his colleagues that it’s not worthwhile recruiting him.
Most people regard this as a reasonable sort of decision. But it isn’t. Countless studies show that the unstructured 30-minute interview is virtually worthless as a predictor of long-term performance by any criteria that have been examined.
In both cas, predictions bad on references-school reports, prior performance, letters of recommendation-give a 65-75% chance of choosing the better of the two.
