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.
【C11】
选项
A、pay
B、marriage
C、food
D、schooling
答案
C
解析
本题考查名词辨析。本名词明显处于一个关联结构之中,即basic drives for________ or shelter,此处的原文已知词汇shelter(住所)与本填空名词是对称关联的,因此本填空的答案就是在四个选项中挑选一个与shelter(住所)意思最为接近的词汇,答案显然是C项food(食物),因为这是人类本能的需求,在英文中food and shelter就是一个常用的关联搭配。而其他三个A项pay(薪水)、B项marriage(婚姻)和D项schooling(教育)都属于人类更高层级的需求,高于shelter(住所),均予以排除。
