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 nonvirtual (非虚拟的) interactions,” Kilner told the Canadabased CTV News. Selfies allow you “to keep taking pictures until you manage to take one you're happy with”, he explained.
语篇解读:本文是一篇研究报告。分析了人们喜欢自拍的原因。
9.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.
解析:选B 主旨大意题。通读全文可知,文章从不同角度分析了人们喜欢自拍的原因。故B项正确。
10.The underlined word “perceive” in Paragraph 5 can be replaced by “________”.
A.interpret
B.beautify
C.choose
D.explain
解析:选A 词义猜测题。根据语境可知,大多数人选择的是更有魅力的照片,这表明我们都喜欢把自己想象得比实际更漂亮一些。为了进一步测试我们实际上如何“认知”自己的脸部,Kilner又进行了另一项研究,即把不同的照片进行编辑,一张忠实于本人,一张更具魅力,他们往往会选择后者。此处perceive与下文中的“thought”相照应,意为“理解,认知”。故A项正确。
