Question

【題目】Using social media（社交媒體）to post photos is pretty new. Facebook did not start until 2004. Instagram started in 2010. It was not until 2013 that the Oxford English language dictionary added the term“selfie”. The meaning of“selfie is“a photograph that one has taken of oneself.”

Why do people take“selfies”? Researchers at Syracuse University in New York tried to answer that question. They came up with some surprising answers.

People who post selfies and use editing softwares to make themselves look better show behaviors connected to narcissism（自戀）, the Syracuse researchers said. Narcissists are people who think very highly of themselves, especially how they look.

Ji Won Kim, who worked on the study, said social media can be superficial. By superficial, she means social media is mostly used by people to share unimportant information about their lives -not deeply personal issues.

_____________. People who post group selfies show a need for popularity and a need to belong to a group, the Syracuse University research found.

Other findings from the study include: There are no main differences on how often men and women post selfies and how often they use editing softwares like Meitu. But men who post selfies show more of a need than women who post selfies.

Another researcher Makana Chock also worked on the study. She said selfies should not be seen as completely negative. She said some people feel “peer pressure”（同伴壓力）to post selfies. And some follow the popular belief that if there is no picture of an event or experience, it did not really happen.

【解析】

近年來，在網(wǎng)絡(luò)社交媒體上發(fā)布自拍照變得流行。本文解釋了什么叫做“自拍”，并對(duì)人們?yōu)槭裁磿?huì)有“自拍”行為進(jìn)行了深度的解釋。

【1】詞義猜測(cè)題。句意：第4段劃線部分單詞的漢語意思是什么？根據(jù)后文By superficial, she means social media is mostly used by people to share unimportant information about their lives -not deeply personal issues. “她說的表象指的是社交媒體主要是人們分享生活中的瑣事的地方——并不是深刻探討個(gè)人問題的地方。”可知superficial的含義應(yīng)是“表象的，表面的”，故選B項(xiàng)。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。句意：根據(jù)Makana Chock的說法，人們發(fā)自拍照是為了________。A高度評(píng)價(jià)他們自己；B大眾化的需要；C給其他人壓力；D告訴其他人它真實(shí)發(fā)生了。根據(jù)Makana Chock的觀點(diǎn)“不應(yīng)該把發(fā)自拍看成是完全消極的事情；有些人是受到了來自“同伴的壓力”而發(fā)布自拍。有些人奉行這樣一種觀念，如果不發(fā)圖片就代表沒有發(fā)生這回事。”故可知人們發(fā)自拍是一種大眾化的需要，故答案應(yīng)選B項(xiàng)。

【3】推理判斷題。句意：下列哪一項(xiàng)最適合填在第5段的空白處？A我們需要通過發(fā)自拍來與其他人交流；B人們也通過發(fā)自拍來有朋友們分享感受；C人們發(fā)自拍有其他的原因；D發(fā)自拍在生活中真的有必要。根據(jù)后文內(nèi)容People who post group selfies show a need for popularity and a need to belong to a group, the Syracuse University research found. “Syracuse大學(xué)的研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，人們發(fā)布集體自拍是為了滿足自身受歡迎和合群的需要”。可知此處解釋的是人們發(fā)自拍的其他原因，故答案應(yīng)選C項(xiàng)。

【4】主旨?xì)w納題。句意：如果我們把文章分為三部分，哪一項(xiàng)為最佳選項(xiàng)？根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容可知：第1段講述了牛津字典添加了網(wǎng)絡(luò)新詞Selfie“自拍”，并簡(jiǎn)單解釋了“自拍”的定義；第2、3、4、5段首先提出了人們?yōu)槭裁匆�自拍的問題，緊接著又從Syracuse研究人員、Ji Won Kim、Syracuse University角度出發(fā)解釋了人們自拍的原因；第6、7段內(nèi)容講述了關(guān)于自拍的其他方面的發(fā)現(xiàn)與研究，故B項(xiàng)分選最為合理，故選B項(xiàng)。
