问题     The Seattle Times Company is one newspaper firm that has
recognized the need for change and done something about it. In the
newspaper industry, papers must reflect the diversity of the
communities to which they provide information. It must reflect that【M1】______
diversity with their news coverage or risk losing their readers’
interest and their advertisers’ support.
    Operating within Seattle, which has 20 percents racial minorities,【M2】______
the paper has put into place policies and procedures for hiring and
maintain a diverse workforce. The underlying reason for the change【M3】______
is that for information to be fair, appropriate, and subjective, it【M4】______
should be reported by the same kind of population that reads it.
    A diversity committee composed of reporters, editors, and
photographers meets regularly to value the Seattle Times’ content and【M5】______
to educate the rest of the newsroom staff about diversity issues. In an【M6】______
addition, the paper instituted a content audit that evaluates the
frequency and manner of representation of woman and people of【M7】______
color in photographs. Early audits showed that minorities were pictured
far too infrequently and were pictured with a disproportionate
number of negative articles. The audit results from improvement【M8】______
in the frequency of majority representation and their portrayal in【M9】______
neutral or positive situations. And, with a result, The Seattle Times【M10】______
has improved as a newspaper.
    The diversity training and content audits helped The Seattle
Times Company to win the Personnel Journal Optimas Award for
excellence in managing change.

选项
答案percents→percent
解析 单复数错误。表达“百分之几”时只需用基数词加上单数percent即可。这类用法值得留意。比如基数词hundred，thousand，million和billion等与其他数词一起表示确切数量时，同样必须用单数形式，如four thousand books。它们的复数形式常表示不确定数目，后面可接of词组，如 thousands upon thousands及millions of people。名词dozen和score也经 常与数词一起表达“十来个”或“几十个”，如two dozen of eggs；也可接of 词组，如a dozen of them或dozens of them。
