12.Recently,Pew Research Center announced that over a quarter of Americans have shared a selfie online.Unsurprisingly,the practice of photographing oneself and sharing that image via social media has (51)A among all age groups.Evidence of its mainstream nature is seen in other aspects of our culture too.Last year,"selfie"was not only added to the Oxford English Dictionary,but also named Word of the Year.
Yet,despite the huge number of people practicing it,(52)B is also surrounding selfie.An assumption that sharing selfies is embarrassing runs throughout the journalistic and scholarly coverage on the topic.Negative words like"self-centered"and"(53)C"have inevitably become a part of any conversation about selfies among scholars.
But,over a quarter of all Americans are relying on it.Why?The usual reasons given by scholars-self-center and fame-seeking-seem too (54)D to explain such a crowd acting.There is always more to a social cultural practice than what (55)A.
Simply put,physical and digital technology make it possible.The idea that technology (56)C the social world and our lives has been recognized by people.To some extent,world is shaped by technological revolutions.The selfie is not a(n) (57)B form of expression.Artists have created self-portraits for centuries,from cave to oil paintings,to early photography and modern art.People are (58)D their feelings and thoughts through certain media.What's original about today's selfie is its public popularity.Technological advancement (59)A the self-portrait used to be restricted to the art world and gave it to the masses.Those digital front-facing cameras,social media platforms,and wireless communications conveniently available  make selfie a job (60)B any time anywhere.
Besides,We are not (61)A beings living by ourselves.We are social beings who live in social communities,and as such,our lives are fundamentally formed by social relations with other people.As photos meant to be (62)B,selfies are not individual acts; they are social gestures.Selfies,as well as our presence on social media generally,are a part of"identity work"--the work that we do on a daily basis to (63)C that we are seen by others as we wish to be seen.In fact,the crafting and display of identity has long been understood as a social process.The selfies we take and show are to present a (64)D image of us so as to become a part of our identity formation and(65)D.

9.Last spring,members of Alaska's Troop 34,based in Fairbanks,trudged (跋涉) out into the snowy wilderness to take part in their state's Take a Kid Trapping program.In many parts of the state,beavers (海狸)are pests and need to be controlled.
The 10-to-12-year-old girls found out where beavers lived,set traps,and skinned the two animals they caught.The girls hope to catch ten more beavers so that the entire troop can make mittens and hats with the fur.They also want to cook beaver meat.
Troop leaders and members say the Scouts are doing a good deed by helping control the state's beaver population.But animal-rights activists say trapping is cruel.They want the Girl Scouts to stop in their tracks.
Beavers aren't only causing a problem in Alaska.Residents in Sampson County,N.C.,have turned to a local committee to help them battle the growing beaver population there.
County landowners are frustrated after the county spent more than  50,000 in eight years trying to reduce the beaver population through a government program.The joint state and federal program included paying money to trappers for every beaver carcass  they trapped.
Many local residents say that the program didn't work because there were too few trappers.That's why the county set up its own committee to investigate other ways to control the area's beaver population.
The county will rely on its own beaver-trapping program.It has hired a trapper to set traps in various areas.The county will pay 10 for every beaver carcass.
Why do many people say that beavers are a nuisance?For beavers to survive,they need lots of water.Water provides the large rodent (啮齿动物)with a place to hide from meat-eating animals.Beavers also store food underwater for the winter.When there's not enough water in a particular area,beavers get busy building dams.
Beaver dams can cause major flooding and damage to the surrounding countryside as the animals cut down trees to use in their construction projects.Beavers build canals to transport heavy objects.
59.What is Alaska's Troop 34?C
A.A team of the Boy Scouts.
B.An army.
C.A team of the Girl Scouts.
D.A sports team.
60.Why does the troop hope to catch ten more beavers?C
A.To fulfill their task.
B.To sell them for money.
C.To get enough fur.
D.To exchange them for mittens and hats.
61.Which of the following statements is true?A
A.Sampson County has to find a new way to control the beaver population there.
B.The government program in Sampson County has proved to be a success.
C.The local government has controlled the number of beavers in the County.
D.More and more trappers now start to set traps in Sampson County.
62.Local residents hate beavers because they canD.
A.cause damage to dams
B.block up canals with heavy objects.
C.do great harm to construction projects.
D.badly damage the environment and cause floods.
