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 with lots of head-scratching puzzlement about what【S2】______
in world those readers really want.【S3】______
    But the sources of distrust go way deeper. Most journalists
learn to see the world through a set of standard templates(patterns)
which they plug each day’s events. In other words, there is a【S4】______
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"【S5】______
of the 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【S7】______
the same questions.
    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【S8】______
church, do 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【S10】______
views between reporters and their readers.
【S10】
选项
答案and—but
解析 连词误用。结合上下文，这句话的意思是“读者对新闻媒介惊人的不信任的根源并非是报道失实或报道技巧差，而是记者和读者之间世界观的冲突。”not…but…指“不是……而是……”，所以此处应该用but。
