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.
【C7】
选项
A、Unless
B、If
C、Though
D、When
答案
D
解析
本题考查上下文逻辑关系。考生需要通过分析本填空所在句子信息与之后句子信息之间的内在逻辑关系来确定答案。本填空所在的句子信息为left alone in the room(被独自留在房间)。之后的句子信息为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________ (不知道哪些笔会产生电击的学生比知道的学生更多地去点击笔从而更多地被电击),可知之后的句子信息描述了实验中所发生的具体情况,此处前后句之间的信息显然不是C项Though(尽管)表达的让步转折关系,也不是B项If(如果)和A项Unless (除非)表达的条件关系,因为left alone in the room(被独自留在房间)不可能是之后所发生的情况的前提条件,因此答案只可能是D项When(当……时候),即此处的前后文是时间关系。
