A news website.B.A geography magazine.C.A travel guidebook.D.A scientific research journal.BFrightening as monsters(怪兽） are, they have always attracted us. From strangecombinations of animals to magical beings,creatures have emerged from our imaginationsthroughout history.Today,they still frequent our cinema screens.Consideringhow scaredwe can be of monsters, it seems paradoxical that we keep making them.In fact,there isscience behind our love of monsters.Monsters are imaginary creatures that come from our long history of living with predators（捕食者）.Snakes，for example，were among our ancestors’（祖先）first deadly threats，causing them to develop snake-responsive neurons in their brains.This adaptation allowedthem to recognize snakes with just a quick look.That is why we get a thrill seeing snake-likemonsters on the screen.Similarly,our ancestors’minds were shaped by the need to spot bears,lions and otherlarger predators in tough environments. With their long teeth and giant claws, these animalshave seized our imaginations, appearing in cave paintings over thousands of years, and then onmodern screens.There are psychological benefits to being frightened by monsters. Scary stories withterrifyingcreaturesactivate theamygdala,thebrainsfearcenter,whichreleases adrenaline（肾上腺素）.With the story ending in safety，adrenaline levels drop，bringing chemicals thatfuel the feling of relaxation. Such controlled fear experience might help us to managelong-term stress or increase our pain tolerance.As aresult,some people with anxiety enjoywatching horror films before bed.The monsters we create today for films and books reflect our deepest fears —whetherit's Godzilla threatening civilization, or aliens growing within us. By understanding ourmonsters and why we make them,we can learn a great deal about what is going on under thesurface of our minds.24.Which word can replace the underlined word “paradoxical” in paragraph 1?A.Unnecessary.B.
