问题     Why do so many Americans distrust what they read in their
newspapers? The American Society of Newspaper Editors is trying to
answer this painful question. The organization is deep into a long self-
analysis known as the journalism credibility project.
    Sadly to say, this project has turned out to be mostly low-level【S1】________
findings about factual errors and spelling and grammar mistakes, combining【S2】________
with lots of head-scratching puzzlement about what in world those【S3】________
readers really want.
    But the sources of distrust go way deeper. Most journalists learn to
see the world through a set of standard templates(patterns)which they【S4】________
plug each day’s events. In other words, there is a conventional story
line in the newsroom culture that provides a backbone and a ready-made
narrative structure for otherwise confusing news.
    There is a social and cultural disconnection between journalists and
their readers, which help explain why the “standard templates” of the【S5】________
newsroom seem alien to many readers. In a recently survey, 【S6】________
questionnaires were sent to reporters in five middle-size cities around the
country, plus one large metropolitan area. Then residents in these
communities were phoned at randomly and asked the same questions. 【S7】________
    Replies show that compared with other Americans, journalists are
more likely to live in upscale neighborhoods, have maids, own
Mercedes, and trade stocks, and they’re more likely to go to church, do【S8】________
volunteer work, or put up roots in a community. 【S9】________
    Reporters tend to be part of a broadly defined social and cultural
elite, so their work tends to reflect the conventional values of this elite.
The astonishing distrust of the news media isn’t rooted in inaccuracy or
poor reportorial skills and in the daily clash of world views between【S10】________
reporters and their readers.  
【S8】

答案more—less
解析 语义错误。根据上下文，这里是在比较新闻记者和读者的差异。此处意为“新闻记者更有可能居住在富人区，配有女佣和奔驰车并且炒股，并且他们去教堂、参加志愿者服务或扎根于社区的可能性较小”。
