【点睛】根据列举的事例猜测词义是猜测词义的重要方法之一。小题1要求判断出upside在句中的意思。由If people know they are on camera, especially when at work or using public services, they are surely less likely to misbehave. Another upside is that it would be harder to get away with crimes or to escape from blame for accidents可知，如果人们知道自己在被监视，特别是在工作或使用公共服务时，他们肯定不会有不当行为。要逃脱犯罪或逃避事故的责任将更加困难。列举了这些事例都在说明摄像技术给人们带来的有利因素。故A选项正确。所以可以通过列举的事例来猜测词义。

　　Cucamelons look like baby watermelons and taste like cucumbers mixed with lemon. ___1___ You can grow them in a pot, plastic bag or directly into a garden.

You can dig up these roots and store them in a cool, dry place and re-pot them at the start of the next growing season. ___4___ It will be a big harvest!
