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.
【C16】
选项 A、subsequent to
B、inferior to
C、prior to
D、familiar to
答案C
解析 检查相片和提取照片序列号应该发生在相机丢失之前，因为被盗之后为时已晚，无法再获取序列号信息来防盗，故选C项prior to“在……之前”。如果是在相机被盗之后，就没法检查相机里的照片了，序列号便无法提取，所以A项subsequent to“继……之后”不符合逻辑。B项inferior to“低于，劣于”和D项familiar to“为……熟知”用在这里不符合语法。因为这两个短语后常接名词或代词。
