Digital photography is still new enough that most of us have yet to form an opinion about it【C1】______develop a point of view. But this hasn"t stopped many film and computer fans from agreeing【C2】______the early conventional wisdom about digital cameras — they"re neat【C3】______for your PC, but they"re not suitable for everyday picture taking. The fans are wrong. More than anything else, digital cameras are radically【C4】______what photography means and what it can be. The venerable medium of photography【C5】______we know, is beginning to seem out of【C6】______with the way we live. In our computer and camcorder【C7】______, saving pictures as digital【C8】______and watching them on TV is no less practical — and in many ways more【C9】______than fumbling with rolls of film that must be sent off to be【C10】______.

单选题
【C1】
【正确答案】
C
【答案解析】解析：语义、惯用衔接题。根据文章意思可知，form an opinion与develop a point of view之间有一种递进关系，但不具有因果关系。[A]rather than“而不是”，表示转折关系；[B]let alone“更别说，更不用说”表示递进关系，且前后两件事有因果关系；[C]much less“更不用说，更何况”，比较前后两件事发生的可能性；[D]so as to“为使，以便”。由上下文可以看出，这里所描述的两件事情不具有因果关系，只是比较发生的可能性，因此[C]更恰当。
【答案解析】解析：惯用衔接题。(be)out of step with为固定搭配，指“与…(步伐)不一致，与…不合拍”，符合上下文文意。其余三个词都用于指“速度，速率”，但都不用在这一搭配中。

【C7】
【正确答案】
D
【答案解析】解析：语义衔接题。观察四个选项，首先[B]、[C]两项可以排除，它们都不能用computer直接修饰。而由上下文，特别是前文中的conventional wisdom与fans，the way we live等词句可以看出，作者强调的是一种文化氛围，因此选[D]culture“文化”。[A]environment“环境”；[B]civilization“文明”；[C]community"社区，共同体"。
【答案解析】解析：语义衔接题。由主语points of light“光点”与宾语image“图像”可以看出，二者之间是构成与被构成的关系。[A]constitute“组成，构成”；[B]illuminate“照亮，阐释”；[C]penetrate“刺穿，穿透”；[D]dissolve“溶解”。所以，本题答案为[A]。

【C17】
【正确答案】
B
【答案解析】解析：惯用衔接题。由上下文文意及常识可知，空格前后所谈到的“将图像存在电子存储器”和“将图像印在胶片上”是两种不同的方法，所以它们之间应为转折关系，且否定的是后者，因此应该选择一个表示转折关系的词。[A]in case“以防万一”；[B]rather than“而不是”；[C]as well as“也，还”；[D]as though“似乎，好像”，故本题答案选[B]。
