　　A*** fortunately B*** effective C*** images D*** articulateE*** facial F*** manage G*** decisions H*** connectI*** advanced J*** integrate K*** progressive L*** conceptsM***pictures N*** increasingly O*** important


 

　　ANSWER：

　　1.選C***。空格中要填的是名詞，從後面的......can be captured and transmitted可以選出選項中images和pictures，pictures指“畫面，圖片”，一般指靜態的情景;而文中的意思表達的是實時的電視會議，畫面應該是動態的，images可以表示動態的形象，畫面，故C***images正確。

　　2.選I***。這裡應填形容詞，修飾the technology。選項中的advanced，progressive，important可以用來修飾the technology，註釋1說明了the technology中包含了很多行業術語，是很深奧的，排除important;而progressive“上進的，進步的”，強調尋求更好的，advanced“領先的，有高深的，並非人人都能接受的含義”，根據上下文I***advanced更符合題意。

　　3.選L***。首先判斷這裡應填名詞，再根據註釋2種“用於解釋視訊會議工作原理的......”，原文中有explain“解釋，說明”可以退出，選項中的名詞中concepts最符合題意。故選L***。

　　4.選O***。此處應填形容詞。這個分句後面說交流越多，你越可能成為正確的那一個，說明交流很重要，與本土的視訊會議-----一種交流的工具主題一致，這裡應該填important。

　　5.選G***。由空格後的ones可知，這裡應填名詞的複數形式。前面提到the more interaction..., the more likely...be the right ones“得到的互動資訊越多，你的......就更有可能正確的”。人們通過電視會議談判協商，瞭解得資訊越多，自己的判斷，決策才會更正確。故這裡應填G***decisions。concepts“概念”是打擾項，這裡和概念無關。

　　6.選E***。此處應填形容詞。由上文Videoconferencing not only allows you to speak to people in different locations“視訊會議不僅可以讓你與不同地方的人說話”，...expressions and gestures that let you know what the other person is really thinking.“......表情和姿態，從而讓你知道他們的真實想法”，很明顯修飾expressions的應該是facial，意思是“面部表情”。

　　7.選B***。此處要填形容詞，與more構成形容詞比較級結構。從後文by sharing documents and computer application“通過共享文件和計算機應用，會議能更加......”，這裡電話會議的優勢，也是其目的，即提高效率，故這裡應填B***effective。K***progressive“進步的”並不是電話會議要達到的目的，故排除。

　　8.選F***。此處應填動詞原形。選項中的動詞原形有articulate，manage，integrate，connect，由原文可知，電視會議可以“共享文件和應用計算機”，而電話是不能做到的，以推斷這裡填的詞表示“做到，實現”的詞，故只有manage“設法，達成”符合文意。

　　9.選N***。可以推斷此處應填副詞，選項中有fortunately和increasingly兩個副詞，本文全文都在說隨著技術的發達，電視電話會議越來越受歡迎，所以應該是increasingly而不是fortunately“幸運地”。

　　10.選J***。此處應填動詞原型，賓語是各種重要的會議工具。選項中還有articulate，integrate和connect三個位動詞原形。其中aiticulate作“接合”意思講的時候指的是單獨的事物由關節連線，connect“連線”表示將分離的東西連線在一起，而integrate強調的是各種事物結合，形成一個整體。integrate正確，故選J***。


 

　　Nowadays, is it possible to tell a person’s class just by looking at him? Physical details __1__ tell us about health, diet and type of work done. A hundred years ago the working class very often lookd unhealthy, small and were either too thin or too fat. The upper classes were often __2__, sporting types who were used to a good diet and looked healthy. Today living and working conditions have improved, and such __3__ would no longer be so true.The clothes people choose to wear, however, do provide information about their __4__. The most obvious way in which is for the amount of money spent on them. Expensive clothes look expensive and show their wearer had money. Clothes can provide other __5__ as well. The upper classes __6__ to be less interested in fashion and wear good quality clothes in non-bright colours, made of natural material like wool, leather or cotton. Lower working class people often choose clothes in bright colours, made of man-made material. A sociological explanation for this would be that color and interest are mssing from their lives, and therefore any opportunity to introduce this is __7__.Clothes are __8__ at a price within most people’s reach. New clothes make the wearer feel good, and show some __9__ of wealth to the outside world. Today some new fashions are started by the lower working class people who want to look __10__ and feel important. They want people to look at them.A*** available B*** background C*** different D*** tallE*** totally F*** taken G*** descriptions H*** degreeI*** clues J*** alone K*** appear L*** considerM*** full N*** hobby O***fetched


 

　　ANSWER:

　　1.選J***。此處應填副詞。可選項有totally和alone，由前一句中just可推出，外表上的細節僅僅能告訴我們這個人的健康狀況，平時的營養狀況以及他所從事的工作而不能看出他所處的階級，故排除totally而選alone“惟一”。

　　2.選D***。此處應填形容詞。因此此句和前一句是在將以前的工人階級和上層階級的身體狀況進行對比，故此處應填與small“矮的”意思相反的詞，選項中只有tall符合題意。而full“豐滿的”不能用來修飾sporting types,故排除。

　　3.選G***。此處應填名詞。現在的生活和工作條件改善了，情況已經不同了。而such指代的是上文中對一百年以前工人階級和上層階級的身體狀況的身體狀況的描述，故descriptions“描述”符合題意。

　　4.選B***。此處應填名詞。根據句意“衣服可以提供...方面的資訊”，選項中有background和hobby，選background“人的背景，社會階層”，符合文章主題。

　　5.選I***。由as well可知，此處應填名詞且與本段首句中的informaiton的意思相近，選項中只有clues“線索”符合題意。

　　6.選K***。此處應填動詞的原形。選項中有appear和consider,appear可直接接不定式;而consider帶不定式的複合結構，用於主動語態時，consider後面得接賓語，故選appear。7選F***。這句中this指代bright colour，句子主幹是any opportunity is...。可選項有taken和fetched,take“抓住”則可以與opportunity搭配，但fetch“拿來”不能與opportunity構成動賓搭配，故排除fetched而選taken。

　　8.選A***。此處應填形容詞。句子意思是“衣服的價錢......，大多數人都買得起。”選項中只有available“可以接受的”符合題意。

　　9.選H***。此處應填名詞。由a price within most people’s reach可推出，此處新衣服向外界顯示的是穿衣者的富裕程度，故選擇degree“程度”。

　　10.選C***。此處應填形容詞。由new fashions和feel important可推出工人階級想通過穿衣來改變他們，而選項中只有different“與眾不同的”符合此意，故選擇C***。
