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.
【C19】
选项
A、whether
B、why
C、where
D、how
答案
A
解析
本题考查关联词辨析。本关联词引导一个宾语从句,主句的谓语是determine,主句的主语是之前的分词短语imagining the________of following through on one’s curiosity ahead of time (事先设想一下人们探寻好奇心的后果)。根据对原文信息的把握,我们已经明确本句子要表达的意思是“人们如果事先预测到事情的结果,就会三思而行”。根据原文的倾向,A项whether (是否)与此宾语从句搭配表达的意思是“是否值得努力去做”,即表示质疑概念的“j思而行”,其实就是相当于were less likely to do sth.,因此本题答案为A项whether。其他选项例如B项why (为什么)、C项where(哪里)和D项how(如何)与it is worth the endeavor搭配后均表达不出质疑或否定的意思,予以排除。
