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.
【C1】
选项
A、resolve
B、protect
C、discuss
D、ignore
答案
A
解析
本题考查动词辨析。本动词的主语是humans(人类),宾语是uncertainty(不确定性),本动词所表达的动作用来确定humans(人类)与uncertainty(不确定性)之间的关系。同时,由于本动词所在的句子处于全文的首两句,是对全文的主旨进行概括的总述句,而本动词又是定义humans(人类)与uncertainty(不确定性)之间关系的核心词汇,因此本题很显然是总分结构对照法的题型,即本动词的答案是需要通过分析之后的分述部分的信息倒推出来的。根据填空之后的the need to know、satisfy their curiosity这些线索就可以判断出本题的答案。首先排除D项ignore(忽视),此选项所表达的意思与全文主旨不一致。B项protect(保护)和C项discuss(讨论)所表达的意思与本题题意无关,只有A项resolve(解决)与分述中的信息一致,也是全文的主旨所在,即人类要解决、破解不确定性,也就是人类不希望有不确定性。
