Fear can be an effective way to change behavior. One study compared the effects of high-fear and low-fear appeals on changes in attitudes and behaviors related to dental hygiene(卫生). One group of subjects was shown awful pictures of【C1】______teeth and diseased gums; another group was shown less frightening materials such as plastic teeth, charts, and graphs. Subjects who saw the frightening materials reported more anxiety and a greater【C2】______to change the way they took care of their teeth than the low-fear group did.
But were these reactions actually【C3】______into better dental hygiene practices? To answer this important question, subjects were called back to the laboratory on two【C4】______ (five days and six weeks after the experiment). They chewed disclosing wafers(牙疾诊断片)that give a red stain to any uncleaned areas of the teeth and thus provided a direct【C5】______of how well they were really taking care of their teeth. The result showed that the high-fear appeal did actually result in greater and more【C6】______changes in dental hygiene. That is, the subjects【C7】______to high-fear warnings brushed their teeth more【C8】______than did those who saw low-fear warnings.
However, to be an effective persuasive device it is very important that the message not be too frightening and that people be given【C9】______guidelines to help them to reduce the cause of the fear. If this isn’t done, they may reduce their anxiety by denying the message or the【C10】______of the communicator. If that happens, it is unlikely that either attitude or behavior change will occur.
A)accustomed I)eligible

H)dimensions [br] 【C3】
选项
答案
O
解析
空格所在句为一般疑问句,助动词were位于句首,而且空格后为介词into,据此推知,空格处应该填入一个动词,而且该动词能和介词into搭配,且为过去分词形式。根据上下文内容可知,前一段主要提及两组受试者的不同反应,而下文主要谈论他们在口腔卫生方面的做法,由此可知,本句起到了承上启下的过渡作用,句意应该为“这些反应能够切实地转化成更好的口腔卫生行为吗”,故确定答案为O)translated“转化,转变为”。备选项里还有accustomed“使习惯于”,exposed“使暴露,使陷入”两个动词的过去分词形式,但均不符合句意,故均可排除。
