But what does it say about selfies? 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 (滤色镜) 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(非虚拟的)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. 8．What 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.

9．The underlined word “perceive” in Paragraph 4 can be replaced by “______”.

A. interpret B. choose C. beautify D. explain 10．What did Kilner discover from his researches?

A. People tend to believe they look more attractive than they actually are. B. People tend to spend more time looking at their faces than at others’. C. People interpret others’ facial expressions worse than their own. D. People who like taking selfies know more about their facial expressions. 11．According 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 allows them to satisfy their expectations with their appearances. C. it enables them to interact with their friends in social media. D. it is a way to respond to others’ facial expressions correctly. 【答案】1．C 2．C

3．A 4．B

【解析】1．主旨大意题。根据文章的第一段尤其是第一段的最后一句可知本文主要讲的是自拍是如何影响人们的日常生活的。所以C项能概括全文的意思。故选C。

2．词义猜测题。根据上文的意思“Kilner发现（自拍时）大多数人总是选择比较吸引人的画面，这就表明我们倾向认为我们自己比实际上更好看。”可以猜出此句的意思是“为了进一步地验证我们实际上是美化（beautify）我们自己的脸，Kilner进行了另一项研究。…”所以C项符合语境之意。故选C。

3．细节理解题。B、C、D项的表述都与原文不符，根据第四段的句子“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.”可知Kilner从他的研究中发现人们倾向认为他们看上去比他们实际上有吸引力。所以A项符合原文之意。故选A。

4．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的句子“Selfies give us the power to create a photograph ─ by taking it from various angles, with different poses, using filters (滤色镜) and so on ─ that better matches our expectations with our actual faces.”可知根据Kilner的观点，人们喜欢自拍可能是因为他们认为自拍能允许他们满足对他们外表的期望值。所以B项符合原文之意。故选B。 【点评】本文主要讲的是自拍是如何影响人们的日常生活的。

It never occurred to anybody, not even the creators that the world would care about the complex lives, loves and sufferings of a group of attractive and witty New Yorkers. But there’s no doubt that Friends(老友记)has become more than just a successful situation comedy ─ it has established itself as one of the last great television phenomena of the last century. Along the way, it has made its half-dozen leading actors famous.

Looking back on the strong friendship between the group of three men and three women who frequently gather at each other’s apartments and at Greenwich Village’s Central Perk coffee house, Friends was created by television producers, David Crane and Marta Kauffman. In 1993, the pair met producer Kevin S. Bright. Then the three became partners and got a deal to produce a new comedy for Warner Brothers. What they came up with was based on Crane and Kauffman’s after-college years, when they hung out at the local coffee house and involved themselves in every aspect of each other’s lives.

It didn’t take long for viewers to make friends with Friends. The situation comedy quickly became a top ten hit. Critics loved it as well. Entertainment Weekly said the show operated like a Broadway show, with twisty plots and unique jokes. The television theme song has also been a success with the public. The song’s success helped save the television theme song. An ABC(美国广播公司)executive was ready to order very short music intros(前奏) on his network’s shows, thinking that viewers would hit the remote control as soon as the opening started. But the success of the Friends theme song led the ABC executive to change his mind ─ remote controls or not, the TV theme song would stay.

Years have gone by, but Friends remains and will remain an example of a modern US situation
