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. [br] 【M5】
选项
答案 value→evaluate
解析 易混淆词汇误用。动词value有两层含义：第一，to think that someone orsomething is important．比如I value our friendship．第二，to decide howmuch money something is worth，by comparing it with similar things，比如We decided to get this house valued．不论哪层含义，用于此处都不合适。从上下文可以推测其实这些人碰头是为了judge how good,useful，or successful the paper is，因此换用evaluate。此题容易误改meets为meet。committee，family，class等集合名词作主语，谓语动词可以用单数，也可以用复数，视是否强调其单个的成员而定。此处可以用单数。
