　　【答案】

　　1.選C)。空格中要填的是名詞，從后面的......can be captured and transmitted可以選出選項(xiàng)中images和pictures，pictures指“畫面，圖片”，一般指靜態(tài)的情景;而文中的意思表達(dá)的是實(shí)時(shí)的電視會(huì)議，畫面應(yīng)該是動(dòng)態(tài)的，images可以表示動(dòng)態(tài)的形象，畫面，故C)images正確。

　　2.選I)。這里應(yīng)填形容詞，修飾the technology。選項(xiàng)中的advanced，progressive，important可以用來修飾the technology，注釋1說明了the technology中包含了很多行業(yè)術(shù)語，是很深?yuàn)W的，排除important;而progressive“上進(jìn)的，進(jìn)步的”，強(qiáng)調(diào)尋求更好的，advanced“領(lǐng)先的，有高深的，并非人人都能接受的含義”，根據(jù)上下文I)advanced更符合題意。

　　3.選L)。首先判斷這里應(yīng)填名詞，再根據(jù)注釋2種“用于解釋視頻會(huì)議工作原理的......”，原文中有explain“解釋，說明”可以退出，選項(xiàng)中的名詞中concepts最符合題意。故選L)。

　　4.選O)。此處應(yīng)填形容詞。這個(gè)分句后面說交流越多，你越可能成為正確的那一個(gè)，說明交流很重要，與本土的視頻會(huì)議-----一種交流的工具主題一致，這里應(yīng)該填important。

　　5.選G)。由空格后的ones可知，這里應(yīng)填名詞的復(fù)數(shù)形式。前面提到the more interaction..., the more likely...be the right ones“得到的交互信息越多，你的......就更有可能正確的”。人們通過電視會(huì)議談判協(xié)商，了解得信息越多，自己的判斷，決策才會(huì)更正確。故這里應(yīng)填G)decisions。concepts“概念”是打擾項(xiàng)，這里和概念無關(guān)。

　　6.選E)。此處應(yīng)填形容詞。由上文Videoconferencing not only allows you to speak to people in different locations“視頻會(huì)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(tài)，從而讓你知道他們的真實(shí)想法”，很明顯修飾expressions的應(yīng)該是facial，意思是“面部表情”。

　　7.選B)。此處要填形容詞，與more構(gòu)成形容詞比較級(jí)結(jié)構(gòu)。從后文by sharing documents and computer application“通過共享文檔和計(jì)算機(jī)應(yīng)用，會(huì)議能更加......”，這里電話會(huì)議的優(yōu)勢(shì)，也是其目的，即提高效率，故這里應(yīng)填B)effective。K)progressive“進(jìn)步的”并不是電話會(huì)議要達(dá)到的目的，故排除。

　　8.選F)。此處應(yīng)填動(dòng)詞原形。選項(xiàng)中的動(dòng)詞原形有articulate，manage，integrate，connect，由原文可知，電視會(huì)議可以“共享文檔和應(yīng)用計(jì)算機(jī)”，而電話是不能做到的，以推斷這里填的詞表示“做到，實(shí)現(xiàn)”的詞，故只有manage“設(shè)法，達(dá)成”符合文意。

　　9.選N)。可以推斷此處應(yīng)填副詞，選項(xiàng)中有fortunately和increasingly兩個(gè)副詞，本文全文都在說隨著技術(shù)的發(fā)達(dá)，電視電話會(huì)議越來越受歡迎，所以應(yīng)該是increasingly而不是fortunately“幸運(yùn)地”。

　　10.選J)。此處應(yīng)填動(dòng)詞原型，賓語是各種重要的會(huì)議工具。選項(xiàng)中還有articulate，integrate和connect三個(gè)位動(dòng)詞原形。其中aiticulate作“接合”意思講的時(shí)候指的是單獨(dú)的事物由關(guān)節(jié)連接，connect“連接”表示將分離的東西連接在一起，而integrate強(qiáng)調(diào)的是各種事物結(jié)合，形成一個(gè)整體。integrate正確，故選J)。
