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.
【C4】
选项
A、alert
B、tie
C、expose
D、treat
答案
C
解析
本题考查动词辨析,并且本动词处于oneself to sth. 的短语搭配中。根据本动词的宾语是themselves可以推断出它的主语是之前的students,而to之后的原文信息为unpleasant stimuli (不愉快的刺激)。同时,之后的句子信息又给出了in an effort to satisfy curiosity,即其目的是“为了满足好奇心”。首先根据对全文主旨的把握,即“人们为了满足好奇心愿意去做令人痛苦的事情”,就能判断出本动词所要表达的意思是students把自己置身于unpleasant stimuli(不愉快的刺激)中。首先排除A项alert(使警觉),因为此动词表达的意思是“使警觉起来从而远离”,与主旨倾向相矛盾。D项treat(招待,使享受)构成的固定搭配treat oneself to sth. 一般与美好的事物相衔接,与本题不符合。B项tie(使连接,使束缚)与C项expose(使暴露,使遭受)相比,C项expose的意思最为合理,因为expose oneself。to sth. 通常表达的是“使自身遭受不好的事物”,因此C项expose为最佳答案。
