答案：

36.【解析】 C。此空应填名词。从后面的“…can be captured and trans『lfitted”可以选出选项中images和pictures，pictures指“画面，图片”，一般指静态的情景;而文中表达的意思是实时的视频会议，画面应该是动态的，images可以表示动态的形象，画面，故images正确。

37.【解析】 l。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，根据后文中说the technology中包含了展多行业术语，是很深奥的，排除im—portant;而progressive“上进的，进步的”，强调寻求更好的，advanced有“领先的，高深的，并非人人都能接受的”含义，根据上下文，advanced更符合题意。

38.【解析】 L。首先由空前的冠词the判断这里应填名词，再根据后文中说明是“用于解释视频会议工作原理的……”，从原文中的explain“解释，说明”可以推出，选项中的名词concepts最符合题意。故选L。

39.【解析l 0。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，与本文的视频会议～种交流的工具主题一致，这里应该填important。

40.【解析l G。由空格后的0nes可知，这里应填名词的复数形式。前面提到the more interaction…the morelikely...be the right ones“得到的交互信息越多，你的……就更有可能是正确的”、人们通过视频会议谈判协商，了解的信息越多，自己的判断、决策才会更正确。故这里应填decisions;。

41.【解析】E。此处应填形容词修饰expressions。由上文Videoconfi renting not only，allowsyou to speak topeople in different locations“视频会议不仅可以让你跟不同地方的人说话”，--expressions and gesturesthatletyouknowwhatthe otherpersonisreallythinking,"——表情和.冬态，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”。

42.【解析】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 documentsand compu—ter application“通过共享文档和计算机应用，会议能更加--，这是视频会议的优势，也是其目的，即提高效率，故这里应填effective。progressive“进步的”并不是电话会议要达到的目的，故排除。

43.【解析】 F。此处应填动词原形。选项中的动词原形有articulate，ma rage，integrate，connect，由原文可知，视频会议可以“共享文档和计算机应用”，而电话是不能做到的，只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。

44.【解析】 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，视频会议越来越受欢迎，所以应该是increasingh而不是fortunately“幸运地”。

45.【解析】 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reticulate，integrate和connect三个动词原形。其中articulate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。
