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
【C7】
选项
答案
N
解析
空格前面是不定式符号to,后面为动词reject,因此空格处需要填入副词,修饰其后的动词。该不定式短语用作后置定语,修饰名词tendency,后半句的意思是“许多研究表明人们往往______拒绝承认与其现有观点不符的事实”,而前半句又指出“认为摆出更多的事实就能够‘纠正’人们对某个问题的看法,这是错误的”,因而N)selectively“有选择地”符合语义,为本题答案。
