College education is far more complicated than 23 the reputation of a college or the test scores it requires.
答案：(B) just
語意「大學教育遠比僅僅是學校名聲或錄取分數要複雜得多」，just（僅僅）符合這種「不只是表面因素」的語意；thus（因此）、so（所以）、yet（然而）都不合。
本題大考中心未公布逐題答對率，以下不談數據，只談觀念。
四個選項裡有三個是轉承語（thus、so、yet），如果沒看清楚空格是夾在 than 後面，會以為這裡要接一個表邏輯的字。
先看空格前面：College education is far more complicated than ___ the reputation of a college or the test scores it requires。than 後面接的是被比較的對象——學校名聲與錄取分數這兩樣東西，所以空格要填的是修飾這兩樣東西的字，不是連接子句的轉承語。thus、so、yet 三個都是轉承語，先出局。剩下 just（僅僅），填進去是 more complicated than just ...（遠比「僅僅是」名聲與分數要複雜得多）——語氣正好接得住前一句「事情沒那麼單純」。more than just 是很常用的說法，意思是「不只是」：It’s more than just a game.（這不只是一場比賽。）
thus（因此）、so（所以）：兩個都表因果，而且意思相近，依「同義的選項不可能只有一個對」也可以一起砍掉。yet（然而）：表轉折，但 than 後面要的是被比較的東西，不是一個轉折。
more than just（不只是）、far more complicated than（遠比……複雜）、not just（不只是）、reputation（名聲）、a factor（因素）、It’s more than just a game.（這不只是一場比賽）。
