Ask a left-wing Briton what they believe about the safety of nuclear power, and you can guess their answer. Ask a right-wing American about the risks posed by climate change, and you can also make a【C1】______ guess than if you didn’t know their political affiliation. Issues like these feel like they should be【C2】______ by science, not our political tribes, but sadly, that’s not what happens.
Psychology has long shown that education and intelligence won’t stop your politics from【C3】______ your broader worldview, even if those beliefs do not match the hard evidence. Instead, your ability to weigh up the facts may depend on a less well-recognised trait—【C4】______ .
There is now a mountain of【C5】______ to show that politics doesn’t just help predict people’s views on some scientific issues; it also affects how they interpret new information. This is why it is a【C6】______ to think that you can somehow "correct" people’s views on an issue by giving them more facts, since study after study has shown that people have a tendency to【C7】______ reject facts that don’t fit with their existing views.
But smarter people shouldn’t be susceptible to prejudice swaying their opinions, right? Wrong. Other research shows that people with the most education, highest mathematical abilities, and the strongest tendencies to be reflective about their beliefs are the most【C8】______ to resist information which should contradict their prejudices. This undermines the simplistic assumption that prejudices are the result of too much gut instinct and not enough deep thought. Rather, people who have the【C9】______ for deeper thought about an issue can use those cognitive powers to justify what they already believe and find reasons to dismiss apparently【C10】______ evidence.
A) better I) flexibility
B) competitively J) identical
C) contrary K) informed
D) curiosity L) likely
E) evidence M) mistake
F) explained N) selectively
G) facility O) shaping H) fact
【C2】
选项
答案
K
解析
空格前面是should be,后面是by science,通过分析句子结构可知,该句为被动语态,因此空格处需要填入动词的过去分词。本句提到的“像这样的问题”,是指类似前两句列举的问题,即通过了解对方政治倾向就能猜到答案的问题,而by science,not our political tribes表明这种问题的答案应该由科学预示出,而不是政治派系,故K)informed“预示;通知”为本题答案。
