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 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 that would【C8】______Subsequent experiments reproduced this effect with other stimuli, 【C9】______the sound of fingernails 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.
【C9】
选项
A、such as
B、rather than
C、regardless of
D、owing to
答案
A
解析
空格填入介词短语,表明空格前后的逻辑关系。空格前的other stimuli“其他刺激物”指类似“被电”这类不愉快的体验;而空格后的“指甲划过黑板的声音”和“令人作呕的昆虫照片”在逻辑上应属于这类不愉快体验的举例,故选such as。
