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.
【C8】
选项
A、happen
B、continue
C、disappear
D、change
答案
A
解析
本题考查动词辨析。本动词处于一个由what引导的宾语从句中,what就是本动词的主语。上一段说明了这是一个实验,本段提到“27名学生被告知哪些笔通了电”,因此实验中会发生什么这些学生是知道的。本填空之前的由who引导的定语从句的先行词students指的就是“知道哪些笔被通电的学生”,因此四个选项中只有A项happen(发生)表述的最为合理,即这些学生知道会发生什么。B项continue(继续)、C项disappear(消失)和D项change(改变)表达的意思不符合题意,因此A项happen为答案。
