We propose a new consistent method to test of the distance-duality (DD) relation which related angular diameter distances (DA) to the luminosity distances (DL) in a cosmology-independent way. In order to avoid any bias brought by redshift incoincidence between galaxy clusters and Type Ia Supernave (SNe Ia), as well as to ensure the integrity of the galaxy clusters samples, we obtain the luminosity distance of a certain SN Ia point at the same redshift of the corresponding galaxy cluster by interpolating from the nearby SNe Ia. With the observational data at the same redshifts of the angular diameter distances from the complete 38 galaxy cluster sample for the spherical model and the corrected luminosity distances interpolated from the Union2 set, we find that DL (1+z) ^-2/DA=1 is satisfied within 2 confidence level for various parameterizations of (z), which are more stringent than previous testing results without considering redshift bias.
