36.【解析】 C。此空應填名詞。從后面的“…can be captured and trans『lfitted”可以選出選項中images和pictures，pictures指“畫面，圖片”，一般指靜態(tài)的情景;而文中表達的意思是實時的視頻會議，畫面應該是動態(tài)的，images可以表示動態(tài)的形象，畫面，故images正確。
37.【解析】 l。這里應填形容詞，修飾the technology。選項中的advanced，progressive，important可以用 來修飾the technology，根據(jù)后文中說the technology中包含了展多行業(yè)術(shù)語，是很深奧的，排除im—portant;而progressive“上進的，進步的”，強調(diào)尋求更好的，advanced有“領(lǐng)先的，高深的，并非人人都能接受的”含義，根據(jù)上下文，advanced更符合題意。
38.【解析】 L。首先由空前的冠詞the判斷這里應填名詞，再根據(jù)后文中說明是“用于解釋視頻會議工作原理的……”，從原文中的explain“解釋，說明”可以推出，選項中的名詞concepts最符合題意。故選L。
39.【解析l 0。此處應填形容詞。這個分句后面說交流越多，你越可能成為正確的那一個，說明交流很重要，與本文的視頻會議～種交流的工具主題一致，這里應該填important。
40.【解析l G。由空格后的0nes可知，這里應填名詞的復數(shù)形式。前面提到the more interaction…the morelikely...be the right ones“得到的交互信息越多，你的……就更有可能是正確的”、人們通過視頻會議談判協(xié)商，了解的信息越多，自己的判斷、決策才會更正確。故這里應填decisions;。
41.【解析】E。此處應填形容詞修飾expressions。由上文Videoconfi renting not only，allowsyou to speak topeople in different locations“視頻會議不僅可以讓你跟不同地方的人說話”，--expressions and gesturesthatletyouknowwhatthe otherpersonisreallythinking,"——表情和.冬態(tài)，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”。
42.【解析】B。此處要填形容詞，與more構(gòu)成形容詞比較級結(jié)構(gòu)。從后文by sharing documentsand compu—ter application“通過共享文檔和計算機應用，會議能更加--，這是視頻會議的優(yōu)勢，也是其目的，即提高效率，故這里應填effective。progressive“進步的”并不是電話會議要達到的目的，故排除。
43.【解析】 F。此處應填動詞原形。選項中的動詞原形有articulate，ma rage，integrate，connect，由原文可知，視頻會議可以“共享文檔和計算機應用”，而電話是不能做到的，只推斷這里填的詞表示“做到，實現(xiàn)”的詞，故只有manage“設法達成”符合文意。
44.【解析】 N?？梢酝茢啻颂帒罡痹~，選項中有Fortunately和Increasingly兩個副詞，本文全文都在說隨著技術(shù)的發(fā)達，視頻會議越來越受歡迎，所以應該是increasingh而不是fortunately“幸運地”。
45.【解析】 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reticulate，integrate和connect三個動詞原形。其中articulate作“接合”意思講的時候指的是單獨的事物由關(guān)節(jié)連接，connect“連接”表示將分離的東西連接在一起，而integrate強調(diào)的是各種事物結(jié)合，形成一個整體。integrate正確。
