问题     Nowadays, amateur photography has become a troubling issue. Citizens of rich countries have got used to being watched by closed-circuit cameras that【C1】________ roads and cities. But as cameras【C2】________and the cost of storing data decreases rapidly, it is individuals who are taking the pictures.
    Some 10,000 people are already testing a【C3】________of Google Glass. It aims to reproduce all the functions of a smartphone in a device placed on a person’s nose. Its flexible frame holds both a camera and a【C4】________screen, and makes it easy for users to take photos, send【C5】________ and search for things online.
    Glass may fail, but a wider revolution is under way. In Russia, where insurance【C6】________is common, at least 1 million cars already have cameras with them that film the road ahead. Police forces in America are starting to【C7】________officers with video cameras, pinned to their uniforms, which record their interactions with the public.
    Widespread recording can already do a lot of good. Car-cams can help resolve insurance claims and encourage people to drive better. Police-cams can discourage criminals from making groundless complaints【C8】________police officers and officers from【C9】________ the suspects.
    Optimists see broader benefits【C10】________Plenty of people carry activity trackers to【C11】________their exercise or sleep patterns; cameras could do the job more effectively, perhaps also【C12】________their wearers’ diets. "Personal black boxes" might be able to transmit pictures【C13】________their owner falls victim to an accident or crime.
    Not everybody will be【C14】________by these prospects. A perfect digital memory would probably be a pain, preserving unhappy events as well as【C15】________ones. Suspicious spouses and employers might feel【C16】________review it.
    The bigger worry is for those in front of the cameras, not【C17】________them. The web is filled with sneaky photos of women,【C18】________in public places. Wearable cameras will make such furtive photography easier. The combination of cameras everywhere—in bars, on streets, in offices, on people’s heads—is a powerful and【C19】________one. We may not be far from a world【C20】________which your movements could be tracked all the time.
【C5】
选项 A、invitations
B、diagrams
C、messages
D、signals
答案C
解析 上句提到谷歌眼镜试图把智能手机上的所有功能都搬到一部能够置于人们鼻梁上的装置里。智能手机的功能包括照相、发送信息、在线搜索等。send messages指“发信息”，故选C项。A项invitations、B项datagrams和D项signals分别表示“邀请函”、“图解”和“信号”，发送邀请函、图解和信号都不是手机的典型功能，不能和take photos、search for things online构成语义并列。
