Question

                                      

      Have you ever taken photos by using mobile phones with selfie sticks (自拍桿) ？ 1 

     However,a pair of US artists from New Mexico,Aric Snee and Justin Crowe believe they have invented a better one and they call it “ selfie arm”. 2 It makes those peo- ple in the pictures seem to be holding hands with a loved one.

     The pair say it offers a far better experience than using a straight stick. The selfie arm makes people feel they are not alone when they take photos.   3   They think their invention solves the main problem that the selfie stick has — people look alone while they are taking pictures of themselves with great interests.The product,at present,just an art project and a model,conveniently provides you a welcoming arm. 4  The pair say they are fascinated by these new ideas.

The “selfie arm” is made of fiberglass. 5  The project that they work on shows the growing selfie stick phenomenon (現(xiàn)象) directly and the increasing need for narcissism (自戀) and Internet agreement.

   A. It is lightweight and easytaking.

   B. Thousands of “selfie arms” have been made.

   C. It seems that they are together with their friends.

   D. For better or worse,they have taken the world by storm.

   E. This new invention is a small,useful and cleverlydesigned tool.

   F. And better yet in the future,it’ll talk in a friendly way and never get angry or upset.

Answer 1

1. E  因?yàn)榇硕卧谥v自拍桿，所以此空也應(yīng)該講自拍桿。較像答案的為A、E。又因?yàn)橄挛奶岬降淖耘氖直郾茸耘臈U要大。所以選E。

2. D   由前句的 they have invented a better one 可知答案。

3. C  由前面內(nèi)容“讓人們感覺(jué)他們不是一個(gè)人”可知選C。

4. F  前文提到的 art project,a model,a welcoming arm 這些關(guān)于自拍手臂的詞說(shuō)明的僅僅是目前這項(xiàng)發(fā)明的狀況，后面又提到人們對(duì)這些新的想法感興趣，所以選F。

5. A  前句說(shuō)由玻璃纖維制成，所以應(yīng)該很輕，故選A。
