　　ANSWER：
　　1.选C）。空格中要填的是名词，从后面的......can be captured and transmitted可以选出选项中images和pictures，pictures指“画面，图片”，一般指静态的情景；而文中的意思表达的是实时的电视会议，画面应该是动态的，images可以表示动态的形象，画面，故C）images正确。
　　2.选I）。这里应填形容词，修饰the technology。选项中的advanced，progressive，important可以用来修饰the technology，注释1说明了the technology中包含了很多行业术语，是很深奥的，排除important；而progressive“上进的，进步的”，强调寻求更好的，advanced“领先的，有高深的，并非人人都能接受的含义”，根据上下文I）advanced更符合题意。
　　3.选L）。首先判断这里应填名词，再根据注释2种“用于解释视频会议工作原理的......”，原文中有explain“解释，说明”可以退出，选项中的名词中concepts最符合题意。故选L）。
　　4.选O）。此处应填形容词。这个分句后面说交流越多，你越可能成为正确的那一个，说明交流很重要，与本土的视频会议-----一种交流的工具主题一致，这里应该填important。
　　5.选G）。由空格后的ones可知，这里应填名词的复数形式。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......就更有可能正确的”。人们通过电视会议谈判协商，了解得信息越多，自己的判断，决策才会更正确。故这里应填G）decisions。concepts“概念”是打扰项，这里和概念无关。
　　6.选E）。此处应填形容词。由上文Videoconferencing not only allows you to speak to people in different locations“视频会议不仅可以让你与不同地方的人说话”，...expressions and gestures that let you know what the other person is really thinking.“......表情和姿态，从而让你知道他们的真实想法”，很明显修饰expressions的应该是facial，意思是“面部表情”。
　　7.选B）。此处要填形容词，与more构成形容词比较级结构。从后文by sharing documents and computer application“通过共享文档和计算机应用，会议能更加......”，这里电话会议的优势，也是其目的，即提高效率，故这里应填B）effective。K）progressive“进步的”并不是电话会议要达到的目的，故排除。
　　8.选F）。此处应填动词原形。选项中的动词原形有articulate，manage，integrate，connect，由原文可知，电视会议可以“共享文档和应用计算机”，而电话是不能做到的，以推断这里填的词表示“做到，实现”的词，故只有manage“设法，达成”符合文意。
　　9.选N）。可以推断此处应填副词，选项中有fortunately和increasingly两个副词，本文全文都在说随着技术的发达，电视电话会议越来越受欢迎，所以应该是increasingly而不是fortunately“幸运地”。
　　10.选J）。此处应填动词原型，宾语是各种重要的会议工具。选项中还有articulate，integrate和connect三个位动词原形。其中aiticulate作“接合”意思讲的时候指的是单独的事物由关节连接，connect“连接”表示将分离的东西连接在一起，而integrate强调的是各种事物结合，形成一个整体。integrate正确，故选J）。

　　Good people communication is O)important in any business, and the more interaction you can achieve, the more likely it is that your G)decisions will be the right ones.
