Question

Women consistently lie on social networking sites such as Facebook or Twitter to make their lives appear more exciting, a survey has found.
Researchers found that at least one in four women exaggerated or distorted what they are doing on social media once a month. The survey of 2000 women found they mostly pretended to be out on the town, when in fact they are home alone, and embellished about an exotic holiday or their job.
The most common reasons for women to write “fibs” included worrying their lives would seem “boring”, jealousy at seeing other people’s more exciting posts and wanting to impress their friends and acquaintances.
Psychologists suggested that as people attempt to “stay connected” on social media, they can in fact “paradoxically” be left “more isolated”. They also said that the “more we try to make our lives seem perfect, the less perfect we feel”.
According to the OnePoll survey, one third of women surveyed admitted to “dishonesty” on social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter at some stage.
Almost one in four admitted to lying or exaggerating about key aspects of their life online between one and three times a month while almost one in 10 said they lied more than once a week.
Nearly 30 percent of women lied about “doing something when I am home alone”, almost a quarter overstated their alcohol consumption while one in five were not truthful about their holiday activities or their jobs. Almost one in five women even lied about their “relationship status”.
“We work very hard presenting ourselves to the world online, pretending and attempting to be happy all the time which is exhausting and ultimately unfulfilling,” said Dr Michael Sinclair, a leading British consultant psychologist.
“Omitting the less desirable imperfections of our lives from the conversations with our `friends` online leads to less opportunity to feel empathized with(與…產(chǎn)生共鳴), resulting in a greater sense of disconnection from others.”
The survey was commissioned by Pencourage, a new anonymous “diary-style” social media website.

解析試題分析：本文主要講述的是在網(wǎng)絡(luò)的虛擬交流中很多女性都或多或少地說謊，本文分析了具體的原因和可能導(dǎo)致的結(jié)果。
【小題1】D 推理題。根據(jù)本句The most common reasons for women to write “fibs” included worrying their lives would seem “boring”, jealousy at seeing other people’s more exciting posts and wanting to impress their friends and acquaintances.可知這里是指女性在社交中會說一些她們認(rèn)為不太重要的謊言。故D項(xiàng)正確。
【小題2】B 細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)第二段最后一句jealousy at seeing other people’s more exciting posts and wanting to impress their friends and acquaintances.可知當(dāng)她們看見別人的生活很精彩的時(shí)候，他們可能會說謊話。故B正確。
【小題3】C 推理題。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段“Omitting the less desirable imperfections of our lives from the conversations with our `friends` online leads to less opportunity to feel empathized with(與…產(chǎn)生共鳴), resulting in a greater sense of disconnection from others.”可知這些女性在網(wǎng)絡(luò)交流的時(shí)候有意不要去考慮生活中的那些不完美的事情，讓自己開心起來。但是這樣只會讓自己更加不開心。故C正確。
【小題4】B 推理題。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段Omitting the less desirable imperfections of our lives from the conversations with our `friends` online leads to less opportunity to feel empathized with(與…產(chǎn)生共鳴), resulting in a greater sense of disconnection from others.”可知這樣的謊言只會導(dǎo)致a greater sense of disconnection from others.（一種更大的失落感）；故B正確。
