问题     Your camera is snatched. Will you ever see it a-gain? Probably not. But it may send postcards from its new owner. The【C1】______of recovery of lost or stolen cameras have improved【C2】______newer devices combined with online photo-sharing services create a digital track one can【C3】______with the right tools.
    Dozens of cameras from major manufacturers【C4】______the serial number found on a camera’s body into its software as well. The serial number is then included in the metadata with which every picture taken by the camera is tagged. When a photo is uploaded at sites like Flickr, they can, therefore, be【C5】______and indexed. Mr. Westin’s company, which makes the Gadget-Trak theft-recovery applications, has begun to create a searchable image database for lost cameras. When the owners upload the tagged photos they provide the【C6】______link. Once the database is established, the company will compare it with that of a list of missing serial numbers【C7】______by police.
    Of course, even if a camera’s serial number crops up,【C8】______the device’s current location need not be【C9】______. However, there is also good news: posted pictures may give clues【C10】______its current location. Even more helpfully, more and more cameras now come 【C11】______a GPS receiver for inserting geographical coordinates into a picture’s metadata. Flickr won’t show the uploading account holder such information【C12】______a user explicitly permits it. Photos posted in other ways, 【C13】______, may leak this information more casually. With enough such【C14】______, police could ask a photo service or obtain a(n)【C15】______to retrieve location data stored in the user’s account.
    Mr. Westin says that photographers can examine an image taken by their camera【C16】______losing it and extract the serial number. He wants to release a tool to make this【C17】______. All this is, of course, a double-edged【C18】______. Any information that helps find stolen
    【C19】______may also be used to track camera owners’ activities. Tools to【C20】______such data before photos are uploaded to the internet are available. And thieves know it.
【C8】
选项 A、locating
B、situating
C、placing
D、putting
答案A
解析 元数据中嵌入序列号和创建相机序列号数据库的目的就是为了找到丢失的相机，找到其当前位置就可以找到相机。故选A项locate有“找到，查明，确定……的位置”的意思，和location搭配。
