Internet addiction is real
What defines an addiction? A general understanding of addiction involves substance abuse and maladaptive behavior (适应不良性行为) like gambling. What these behavior and substances all have in common is the release of dopamine (多巴胺) into the brain. When dopamine levels rise they strengthen the pleasure feeling that will allow individuals to continue seeking the activity. This is the strategy many social media platforms used to market and $\underline{hook}$ many users.
What can be done?
18. The word "hook" underlined in Paragraph 2 can be best replaced by____.
A attract
B fasten
C hold
D hang
题目解答
答案
根据第二段,"hook"出现在“...the strategy many social media platforms used to market and hook many users.”中。结合上下文,社交媒体平台通过释放多巴胺使用户产生愉悦感,从而吸引用户持续使用。"hook"在此处表示“吸引、钩住”,即让用户上瘾或持续关注。
A. attract:吸引,符合语境,表示“吸引用户”。
B. fasten:固定,不符合,因“hook”非物理固定。
C. hold:保持,虽有一定关联,但不如“attract”贴切。
D. hang:悬挂,与语境无关。
综上,最合适的词是“attract”。
答案:A. attract
