Neon (霓虹) is to Hong Kong as red phone booths are to London and fog is to San Francisco. When night falls, red and blue and other colors【C1】______a hazy (雾蒙蒙的) glow over a city lit up by tens of thousands of neon signs. But many of them are going dark,【C2】______by more practical, but less romantic, LEDs (发光二极管).
Changing building codes, evolving tastes, and the high cost of maintaining those wonderful old signs have businesses embracing LEDs, which are energy【C3】______, but still carry great cost. "To me, neon represents memories of the past," says photographer Sharon Blance, whose series Hong Kong Neon celebrates the city’ s famous signs. " Looking at the signs now I get a feeling of amazement, mixed with sadness. "
Building a neon sign is an art practiced by【C4】______trained on the job to mold glass tubes into【C5】______shapes and letters. They fill these tubes with gases that glow when【C6】______Neon makes orange, while other gases make yellow or blue. It takes many hours to craft a single sign.
Blance spent a week in Hong Kong and【C7】______more than 60 signs; 22 of them appear in the series that capture the signs lighting up lonely streets—an【C8】______that makes it easy to admire their colors and craftsmanship. "I love the beautiful, handcrafted, old-fashioned【C9】______of neon," says Blance. The signs do nothing more than【C10】______a restaurant, theater, or other business, but do so in the most striking way possible.
A) alternative I) photographed
B) approach J) professionals
C) cast K) quality
D) challenging L) replaced
E) decorative M) stimulate
F) efficient N) symbolizes
G) electrified O) volunteers
H) identify [br] 【C6】
选项
答案
G
解析
从句子结构上看,空格位于when引导的时间状语从句中。空格前为连接词when,故本空需要填入一个动词。结合句意可知,这些管子在通电时会发光。备选项中只有electrified(使通电)符合句意,故答案为G。
