    There is a curious cliche that says pictures don’t lie. It is part of that greater cliché that says seeing is believing. Somehow a thing seen directly—or through a(n)【C1】________representation like a painting, a photograph, or a film—brings us closer to some actual reality. Words are too 【C2】________not things themselves; words are made-up sounds, developed throughout the life of a culture, represented by made-up letters, put together in a contrived 【C3】________ that everyone in a culture uses to communicate through a  decision  that  the   particular   words   will   refer  to   particular  things.  Language   is   clearly【C4】________ and not natural: It is human made and accepted with some variations throughout a particular  culture.  Every   English   speaker   understands   what   the   word   " food"   refers   to,   even【C5】________the particular kind of food that comes to mind may vary to each individual.  But seeing a thing seems to bring us something very close to the thing itself—to "reality". Things that are seen appear to be and even feel as if they are【C6】________; that is, they seem to be conveyed directly to us, not conveyed indirectly. Nothing stands in their【C7】________. They are true.
    But, in fact, an image, whether photographed, painted, or【C8】________, is not the thing itself. It is a representation of a mediated【C9】________, composed through the camera lens, or a computer, and transferred onto film or through binary code onto the computer screen, appearing to be the thing itself. But even when we acknowledge the【C10】________of optics, computer science, and the human hand and eye of the photographer in recording and developing the photographic image, we still haven’t considered all the mediation that goes on. An image of the thing is not the thing.
【C4】
选项
答案B
解析 形容词辨析题。分析句子结构可知，空格所在句中的and连接了两个并列成分，and后是形容词natural，故空格处也应该填入一个形容词与其对应。结合上下文可知，词汇是人为创造的，与人类的文化相对应。由此可知，语言是与文化相关的，而不是自然存在的。因此，填入cultural“文化的，与文艺有关的”。
