【題目】"A photograph that one has taken of oneself, typically with a smart phone or webcam and uploaded to a social media website" is the definition of "selfie" in the Oxford English Dictionary. In fact, it wasn't even in the dictionary until August of last year. It earned its place there because people are now so obsessed with (對……癡迷) selfies ─ we take them when we try on a new hat, play with our pets or when we meet a friend whom we haven't seen in a while.

But is there any scientific explanation for this obsession? Well, you should probably ask James Kilner, a neuroscientist(神經(jīng)系統(tǒng)科學家) at University College London.

Through our lifetime we become experts at recognizing and interpreting other people's faces and facial expressions. In contrast, according to Kilner, we have a very poor understanding of our own faces since we have little experience of looking at them ─ we just feel them most of the time.

This has been proved in previous studies, according to the BBC.

Kilner found that most people chose the more attractive picture. This suggests that we tend to think of ourselves as better-looking than we actually are. To further test how we actually perceive our own faces, Kilner carried out another study. He showed people different versions of their own portrait ─ the original, one that had been edited to look less attractive and one that was made more attractive ─ and asked them to pick the version which they thought looked most like them. They chose the more attractive version.

But what does it say about settles? Well, isn't that obvious? Selfies give us the power to create a photograph ─ by taking it from various angles, with different poses, using filters (濾色鏡) and so on ─ that better matches our expectations with our actual faces.

"You suddenly have control in a way that you don't have in non-virtual(非虛擬的) interactions," Kilner told the Canada-based CTV News. Selfies allow you "to keep taking pictures until you manage to take one you're happy with" , he explained.

【1What is the passage mainly about?

A. The definition and fun of taking selfies.

B. A study of why people love taking selfies.

C. How taking selfies influences people's daily lives.

D. How to interpret people's facial expressions in their selfies.

【2The underlined word "perceive" in Paragraph 5 can be replaced by "______".

A. interpret B. beautify C. choose D. explain

【3What did Kilner discover from his researches?

A. People interpret others' facial expressions worse than their own.

B. People tend to spend more time looking at their faces than at others'.

C. People tend to believe they look more attractive than they actually are.

D. People who like taking selfies know more about their facial expressions.

【4According to Kilner, people like taking selfies probably because they think ______.

A. it is a good chance to learn more about their actual faces

B. it is a way to respond to others' facial expressions correctly

C. it enables them to interact with their friends in social media

D. it allows them to satisfy their expectations with their appearances

【答案】

【1】B

【2】A

【3】C

【4】D

【解析】

試題分析:本文主要是對人們喜歡美化自己這一現(xiàn)象所進行研究的結(jié)果說明。

【1】主旨大意題。文章第一段提出來人們對自己癡迷的現(xiàn)象,第二段講述的是要想知道為什么人們會癡迷自己就要向Kilner尋求答案,接下來的幾段就是Kilner對于此事的研究調(diào)查,所以本文主旨就是一項關(guān)于為什么人們會對自己癡迷的研究。故選B

【2】詞義推測題。A.理解,領(lǐng)會,把...理解為,把...看作;B.美化;C.選擇;D.解釋;This suggests that we tend to think of ourselves as better-looking than we actually are. To further test how we actually perceive our own faces,這句話應該理解為這個研究表明我們都傾向于美化自己,,為了進一步測試我們是怎么看待我們的臉。美化自己是行為的結(jié)果,而進一步檢測就是為了檢測我們到底是如何理解自己的真實面目的以及美化自己的結(jié)果的正確性。故選A

【3】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第三段Kilner found that most people chose the more attractive picture. ...we tend to think of ourselves as better-looking than we actually are可知人們傾向于自己認為比實際上的自己更好看。故選C

【4】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段Selfies give us the power to create a photograph ... that better matches our expectations with our actual faces.可知自拍照可以給我們權(quán)利去設計一張更符合我們期待的照片。故選D

It appear that people don't need phone boxes any longer. In a small British village, people decided to turning a red phone box into a library. Now, the phone box is one of the country smallest libraries. About 150 books sit on shelves in a phone box. Villagers there can take whatever they want and leave their own books for exchanges. They can use the library around the clock when it's open 365 days a year and 24 hours a day. Since the library opened its bright door, people from all parts of the village paid it a visit. Among it there're senior citizens living in the neighbourhood, children getting off school buses and university students are stopping by late at night. It is convenient for them to use such a wonderful library.
