问题     Digital photography is still new enough that most of us have yet to form an opinion about it, much less (1)_____ a point of view. But this hasn’t stopped many film and computer fans from agreeing (2)_____ the early (3)_____ wisdom about digital cameras—they’re neat (4)_____ for your PC, but they’re not suit able for everyday picture-taking.
    The fans are wrong: more than anything else, digital cameras are radically (5)_____ what photography means and what it can be. The venerable medium of photography as we know (6)_____ is beginning to seem out of (7)_____ with the way we live. In our computer and camcorder culture, saving pictures (8)_____ digital files and watching them on TV is no less (9)_____ and in many ways more (10)_____ than fumbling with rolls of film that must be sent off to be (11)_____.
    Paper is also terribly (12)_____ Pictures that are incorrectly framed, focused, or lighted are nonetheless (13)_____ to film and ultimately processed into prints.
    The digital medium changes the (14)_____. Still images that are (15)_____ digitally can immediately be shown on a computer monitor, TV screen, or a small liquid-crystal display (LCD) built right into the camera.

选项 A、unnecessary
B、uncharitable
C、unworthy
D、unforgiving
答案D
解析 unforgiving不原谅人的，不饶恕人的，无情的。unforgiving的英文注释为"providing little or no opportunity to prevent undesired results or mistake"，即"几乎不给人机会来避免不愿出现的结果或错误"。句意：传统摄影 (相纸)不容出半点差错。这个句子中运用了提喻(synecdoche)的修辞方法(以局部代表全部和以全部指部分，如以bread代表food；用the army代表a soldier)，"paper"代表传统的摄影，因为传统摄影的最终结果是用相纸冲成的照片。unnecessary不必要；uncharitable严厉的，无情的；unworthy不值得的。
