Have you ever taken photos by using mobile phones with selfie sticks(自拍桿)? This new invention is a small, useful and cleverly-designed tool.

However, a pair of US artists from New Mexico, Arie Snee and Justin Crowe believe they have invented a better one and they call it “selfie arm”. For better or worse, they have taken the world by storm. It makes those people in the pictures seem to be holding hands with a loved one.

The pair say it offers a far better experience than using a straight stick. The selfie arm makes people feel they are not alone when they take photos. It seems that they are together with their friends. They think their invention solves the main problem that the selfie stick has —people look alone while they are taking pictures of themselves with great interests. The product, at present, just an art project and a model, conveniently provides you a welcoming arm. And better yet in the future, it’ll talk in a friendly way and never get angry or upset. The pair say they are fascinated by these new ideas.

The “selfie arm” is made of fiberglass(玻璃纖維). It is lightweight and easy-taking.

The project that they work on shows the growing selfie stick phenomenon(現(xiàn)象) directly and the increasing need for narcissism(自戀) and Internet agreement.

1.The selfie arm is _____________________.

A. the latest mobile phone B. lightweight and easy-taking

—Do you often play soccer with your friends?

—No，I don’t like sports. I often play piano in my free time.

A. a; the B. /; the C. the; a D. the; /

B 【解析】 句意：-你經(jīng)常和你的朋友們一起踢足球嗎？-不，我不喜歡運(yùn)動(dòng)。在空閑時(shí)間我經(jīng)常彈鋼琴。a是不定冠詞，修飾可數(shù)名詞單數(shù)，表示泛指一個(gè)…；the是定冠詞，修飾名詞表示特指“這個(gè)；那個(gè)”。第一個(gè)空后soccer是足球，在球類運(yùn)動(dòng)的前面不需要加冠詞；第二個(gè)空后的piano是鋼琴，在樂器的前面必須加定冠詞the。故應(yīng)選B。
