Why do people read negative Internet comments and do other things that will obviously be painful? Because humans have an inherent need to【C1】________uncertainty, according to a recent study in Psychological Science. The new research reveals that the need to know is so strong that people will【C2】________to satisfy their curiosity even when it is clear the answer will【C3】________.
In a series of four experiments, behavioral scientists at the University of Chicago and the Wisconsin School of Business tested students’ willingness to【C4】________themselves to unpleasant stimuli in an effort to satisfy curiosity. For one【C5】________each participant was shown a pile of pens that the researcher claimed were from a previous experiment. The twist? Half of the pens would【C6】________an electric shock when clicked.
Twenty-seven students were told which pens were electrified; another twenty-seven were told only that some were electrified.【C7】________left alone in the room, the students who did not know which ones would shock them clicked more pens and incurred more shocks than the students who knew what would【C8】________. Subsequent experiments reproduced this effect with other stimuli,【C9】________the sound of finger nails on a chalkboard and photographs of disgusting insects.
The drive to【C10】________is deeply rooted in humans, much the same as the basic drives for【C11】________ or shelter, says Christopher Hsee of the University of Chicago. Curiosity is often considered a good instinct—it can【C12】________new scientific advances, for instance—but sometimes such【C13】________can backfire. The insight that curiosity can drive you to do【C14】________things is a profound one.
Unhealthy curiosity is possible to【C15】________, however. In a final experiment, participants who were encouraged to【C16】________how they would feel after viewing an unpleasant picture were less likely to 【C17】________to see such an image. These results suggest that imagining the【C18】________of following through on one’s curiosity ahead of time can help determine【C19】________it is worth the endeavor. "Thinking about long-term【C20】________is key to reducing the possible negative effects of curiosity." Hsee says. In other words, don’t read online comments.
【C2】
选项
A、refuse
B、wait
C、seek
D、regret
答案
C
解析
本题考查动词辨析。本动词的主语是people,之后本动词搭配不定式to satisfy their curiosity。这里的satisfy their curiosity(满足好奇心)就是解决不确定性的意思,与humans resolve uncertainty同义。同时本动词处在一个so…that(如此……以至于)的句型中,而该句子的前部分信息为the need to know is so strong,综合这些原文信息就可以确定to satisfy their curiosity是people非常希望去做的动作,因此首先就可以排除A项refuse(拒绝)和D项regret(后悔),这两个选项表达的动作与全文主旨倾向矛盾。而在B项wait(等待)和C项seek(寻求)之间,C项seek(寻求)表达的seek to satisfy their curiosity(人类通过寻找来满足好奇心)与全文主旨倾向最为一致,因此为最佳答案。
