In a series of experiments, behavioral scientists at the University of Chicago and the Wisconsin school of Business tested students’ willingness to 4 themselves to unpleasant stimuli in an effort to satisfy curiosity.

Twenty-seven students were told with pens were electrified; another twenty-seven were told only that some were electrified. 7 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 8 . Subsequent experiments reproduced this effect with other stimuli, 9 the sound of fingernails on a chalkboard and photographs of disgusting insects.

A.ignore B.protect C.discuss D.resolve 答案：D. resolve 考点：词义辨析 解析：文章首段第一句话就交代了全文主旨：Why do people read negative Internetcomments and do other things that will obviously be painful? 人们欣赏网络负面评论信息以及做一些明显令人痛楚的事情的理由。

其次句指出理由：由于人们内心里有一种____不确定因素需求，空格处所需的动词和后面的宾语 uncertainty 构成动宾布局A 选项 ignore，疏忽，B 选项 protect，养护，C 选项 discuss，议论，带入空格后，语义不通顺，所以不正确D 选项 resolve，解决、消释，“消释不确定性”符合语义要求；故正确答案为 D 选项 resolve 2. A.refuse B.seek C.wait D.regret 答案：B. seek 考点：词义辨析 解析：空格所在句指出：这项新研究说明，这种求知需求如此猛烈以至于人们会_____（答案）来得志他们的奇怪心即使他们领会答案会_____空格处所填入的词需要和后面隐含的宾语答案来构成顺畅的语义搭配，只有 B 选项 seek, 试图、设法、探索,符合要求；A选项 refuse,拒绝，C 选 wait,等待，C 选项 regret,可惜,带入后，语义不通顺故正确答案为 B.seek 3. A.rise dbbf57abf56527d3240c844769eae009591ba263st C.hurt D.mislead答案：C.hurt 考点：词义辨析 解析：空格所在句指出：这项新研究说明，这种求知需求如此猛烈以至于人们探索答案 来得志他们的奇怪心即使答案明显本句中的 even when（即使）构成了前后的对立关系，因此空格处所填入的词需和前面的感情色调词“strong”及语义构成对立，只有 C 选项hurt （令人痛楚）符合要求；另外此处的 it is clear that the answer will hurt 也和第一句中的 that will obviously be painful 构成了近义复现。

故 C 选项为正确答案 4. A.alert B.expose C.tie D.treat 答案：B.expose 考点：固定短语 解析：空格所在处，构成了___oneself to sth 布局，只有 D 选项 expose 符合要求,使某人 暴露在……中，故 B 选项 expose 为正确答案 5. A.trial B.message C.review D.concept 答案：A.trial 考点：词义辨析 解析：本段段首提到“a series of four experiments”，空格所在句给出其中一个测验的信息， 只有 A 选项 trail 与 experiment 语义相近，故正确答案为 A 选项 trail 6. A.remove B.deliver C.weaken D.interrupt 答案：B.deliver 考点：语义规律 解析：上文指出：For one trial，each participant was shown a pile of pens that the researcher claimed were from a previous experiment。

在一个试验中，研究人员给每位受试者一堆笔并声称其源于从前的测验这是测验的背景下文概括测验开展，Half of the pens would…an electric shock when clicked有一半的比在按下的时候会使人触电所以比对选项，要选择 deliver ，发出，递送因此 B 为正确答案 7.

下面的告知了测验的结论：当他们自身在房里时，那些不知哪些笔带电的学生按下了更多的笔头，比这些受试者多，后面是定语，鲜明这些受试者是只上文被告知的人，所以这些人知道 the students who knew what would happen，强调结果性所以选择 D 9. A.such as B.rather than C.regardless of D.owing to 答案：A.such as 考点：规律关系 解析：上文在之后其他刺激因素的测验中，后文讲到概括的测验：指甲刮黑板的声音和令人生厌的昆虫图片鲜明这里需要例证关系，应选择 A 10.A.disagree B.forgive C.discover D.forget 答案：C.discover 考点：语义规律 解析：文章开篇提出：The human drive to resolve uncertainty is so strong …人们对于探索答案以消释不确定因素总是乐此不疲再根据上文的测验，都表。
