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
【C5】
选项
答案
E
解析
空格前面是量词a mountain of作修饰语,因此空格处应填入可数名词的复数形式或不可数名词。空格处之后是不定式短语to show“表明”作后置定语,用来修饰该名词。结合以上两点可知,备选项中只有不可数名词E)evidence“证据,证明”符合语义,故为本题答案。
