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.

答案
A
解析
本题考查动词辨析。本动词处于段首句中,是全段的总述句,本动词又是这个总述句中的核心词汇,对本段的信息进行总结和概括。因此,这是一个典型的总分结构对照法的题型,本动词的答案只能基于对之后的段落分述的信息进行分析倒推出来。之后的分述信息指出,如果让人们事先想一下为了满足好奇心会有什么不愉快的经历,人们就会三思而行,特别是段落尾句明确阐述了这个实验的结论,即don’t read online comments。再如,分述信息中也出现了In a final experiment, participants who were encouraged to________how they would feel after viewing an unpleasant picture were less likely to ________to see such an image,此处的less likely to do sth. 等信息都在说明“人们不会再为好奇心而去贸然行事”。四个选项中能够准确概括这些分述信息的只能是A项insist(抵制,抗拒)。其他选项例如B项define(定义,释义)、C项replace(替代)和D项trace (追踪)都与本题题意无关。
