单选题
Which of the following is true according to the text?
A

People with surnames beginning with N to Z are often ill-treated.

B

VIPs in the Western world gain a great deal from alphabetism.

C

The campaign to eliminate alphabetism still has a long way to go.

D

Putting things alphabetically may lead to unintentional bias.

参考答案和解析
正确答案: D
解析:
推断题。第一段第二句“一种不为人们注意的不公正仍然很普遍,即按字母顺序排列的习惯”是本文的主旨句。随后作者围绕这一主题展开论述。另外,文章最后一句进一步阐明了这个问题:“Shortlists for job interviews, election ballot papers, lists of conference speakers and attendees: all tend to be drawn up alphabetically, and their recipients lose interest as they plough through them”求职者的候选名单、选举投票、大会发言人和参会人的名单,如果这些都按照字母排序的话,他们的接受者在这个过程中会失去兴趣。也就是说,按照字母来排序可能会导致人们无意识产生的偏好。A项过于极端,而B、C项文中没有提及,故选D。
