(42) _________, a study just published in Science by Donna Ginther of the University of Kansas suggests that is not true.

Indeed, a(n) (47) _________bias has been found in those recruiting for jobs in the commercial world. One well-known study, published in 2003 by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the University of Chicago, found that fictitious CVs (简历) with stereo typically white names elicited 50% more (48) _________ of interviews than did CVs with black names, even when the applicants stated (49) _________ were identical.

Applicants outside this charmed circle might have less chance of (51) _________ consideration. If the charmed circle itself were racially unrepresentative, those (52) _________ from the network because their racial group was under-represented in the first place would find it harder to break in. Though Dr Ginthers results are (53) _________, it is to the NIHs credit that it has published her findings. The agency is also starting a programme intended to alter the (54)_________ of the review panels to see whether excising potential racial cues from applications changes outcomes.

(A) At the 4th Street Photo Gallery on the comer of the Bowery, many photos are strung together like clothes on a laundry line. There are portraits of Muhammad Ali and Jean-Michel Basquiat, plus a series of cityscapes detailedly captured over 60 years by Alex Harsley, a neglected but talented New York photographer. The city has been Mr Harsleys home since 1948, when, aged ten, he moved there from South Carolina. He took his first photograph ten years later, and became the first black photographer to work for the citys district attorneys office. His vivid pictures freeze moments in New Yorks evolution from the 1950s to the present, “It could start with the smell of something burning/ he says of his method. And then you see a family sitting on the steps of a funeral home sadly looking at the firemen going through their routine.” Some of the scenes in the collection were captured from the window of his old apartment in Harlem; they include images of black activists, streets submerged in snow and shots of the Crown Heights riots of 1991. A.D. Coleman, a photography critic, says Mr. Harsley has been able to capture the lives of minority groups by making himself “invisible”. His aim has been to assemble these fragments(片段) into an extended history of the city. Mr. Harsleys gallery is a time capsule. For decades, it is also a hub for the citys artistic underworld. In the 1970s New Yorks photography scene was flourishing, but exclusive. As Mr. Harsley puts it, “a number of great artists were swept aside” because they lacked connections. Helping talent became part of his mission. In 1971 he established The Minority Photographers, an organization that helps up-and-coming artists exhibit their work. He opened his gallery two years later; many photographers have had their first shows there. 56. How does the author describe Alex Harsley in the first paragraph? A. undervalued but expert B. gifted but exclusive C. unknown but devoted D. gifted but awkward 57. What does the underlined sentence mean? A. His pictures show freezing weather in New York from the 1950s to the present. B. His pictures capture the cheerful moments in New York since the 1950s. C. His pictures record some historic occasions of New York over the past decades. D. His pictures illustrate the vivid lives of minority groups in New York over the past decades. 58. Why does Mr. Harsley make himself invisible? A. To assemble the minority groups of the city. B. To highlight the lives of minority groups. C. To help promising artists attract more public attention. D. To build connections between the minority groups and himself. 59. How did Mr. Harsley help the other artists? A. He excluded those who looked down upon the unknown
